Terms of Service (SIA Algo Empire)

Welcome to Algo Empire. This website and all related software and infrastructure are owned and operated by SIA Algo Empire, a limited liability company registered in the Republic of Latvia (Registration No. 40203759389).

Throughout these Terms of Service, the terms "Algo Empire", "Company", "we", "us", and "our" refer explicitly to SIA Algo Empire ; the terms "Client", "User", "you", and "your" refer explicitly to any individual physical person or registered legal entity accessing our services.

By creating an account, downloading our software, or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use our website or software.

1. Nature of the Service

Algo Empire is a financial software provider. We develop and distribute automated trading tools in the form of MetaTrader 5 (MT5) Expert Advisors (.ex5 files). SIA Algo Empire is strictly a software company. We are not financial advisors, registered broker-dealers, portfolio managers, or asset managers. We do not manage client funds, accept deposits, or execute trades on your behalf.

All trading execution software is run locally on the client's infrastructure. If the software configuration allows, any modifications made by the user - such as adjusting trading volume or frequency multipliers or setting equity risk targets or limits - are executed entirely at the user's discretion.

2. Market Risk & No Liability for Trading Losses

Financial trading involves substantial risk of loss. Markets are volatile and unpredictable. You explicitly acknowledge that you use our software entirely at your own risk. Algo Empire accepts absolutely no liability for financial losses, equity drawdowns, or total account wipeouts resulting from normal trading operations, routine market movements, unexpected market anomalies, or user-configured execution settings.

If you have any doubts regarding the mechanics, execution frequency, or technical behavior of our algorithms, you are heavily encouraged to thoroughly test the software on an MT5 demo account, or via backtesting, to independently verify its operational characteristics before deploying real capital.

3. Intellectual Property and Software License

• Ownership of Intellectual Property: All content, algorithms, source code, mathematical models, trading logic, visual interfaces, website designs, graphics, infrastructure implementations, trade secrets, and trademarks are the exclusive intellectual property of SIA Algo Empire. They are protected by the copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws of the Republic of Latvia and international treaties.
• Limited License Grant: Upon registration, SIA Algo Empire grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to use our Expert Advisors (.ex5 files) strictly in accordance with these Terms. This grant is a license to use the software, not a transfer of ownership or title to the software or any underlying code.
• Software Misuse: You are explicitly prohibited from decompiling, reverse-engineering, disassembling, modifying, creating derivative works of, or attempting to derive the source code of the .ex5 files, as well as intercepting, altering, emulating, bypassing, or tampering with the communication protocol between the MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor and our servers. Such actions will result in the immediate and permanent termination of all associated Access Keys, permanent blacklisting of your physical entity or legal entity, and SIA Algo Empire reserves the right to pursue civil or criminal legal remedies under applicable cybersecurity and computer fraud laws.
• License Misuse: You may not share, sell, or distribute your personal Access Key to third parties.
• Account Misuse The free trial license is strictly limited to one (1) user account per physical person or unique legal entity. Users are explicitly prohibited from registering multiple accounts using alternative email addresses, aliases, or automated means to bypass the single active demo account restriction. If we determine or reasonably suspect a violation, we reserve the right to immediately terminate all associated profiles, permanently blacklist the associated MT5 account numbers, IP addresses and device fingerprints.

4. Free Trial, Subscription and Fair-Use

• Free Trial Phase: The free trial is unlimited in duration but strictly locked to one (1) active MT5 Demo Account at any given time. Binding of the allowed demo account happens automatically upon the initial activation and server connection of the software within the MetaTrader 5 terminal. If a user needs to replace an expired or invalid demo account with a new one, the old account must be disconnected or removed within the MetaTrader 5 terminal environment before a new terminal slot can be bound by the backend server. Switching between multiple Demo Accounts is allowed, but running more than one simultaneously is technically restricted.
• Subscription Phase: Upon upgrading to any active paid subscription tier, the single-demo restriction is automatically lifted. Subscribers are granted the right to run the software on real capital accounts (up to their tier’s equity limit) as well as multiple concurrent MT5 Demo Accounts for parallel strategy testing.
  Subscription plans are tiered based on the combined equity sum across all connected live accounts. If your subscription expires, or your combined live trading equity exceeds your active subscription tier limit - whether due to capital deposits, trading profits, or the connection of additional live trading accounts - the software will pause its trading operations until an active subscription plan matching the current combined equity sum is established. Automated execution will resume automatically once the combined equity limit is no longer exceeded. Running multiple EAs on different symbols on same account is counted as one account.
  As your combined equity sum nears your subscription tier limit on active terminals, you will be notified in advance via your MT5 chart, your dashboard and your registered email to take necessary corrective action, such as upgrading to the next subscription tier, executing a capital withdrawal, or disconnecting one or more terminals running our EAs on live accounts.
  By utilizing our software, you explicitly acknowledge and agree that once the combined equity across all connected live accounts exceeds your active tier limit, the software will cease all automated execution, market tracking, and active order management on all terminals. During this operational pause window, the software is completely inactive. It is exclusively your financial and legal responsibility to manually manage, monitor or close any open positions or risk exposures on your brokerage accounts until normal software operation resumes. SIA Algo Empire accepts absolute zero liability for financial losses, equity drawdowns, margin calls, or any market outcomes that occur during this pause window as a result of your inaction, configuration choices, or negligence.
• Fair-Use Cap: All multi-account privileges remain subject to an automated fair-use infrastructure cap managed by our backend. Running an excessive or malicious volume of concurrent terminal connections that degrades server performance for other users may result in automated connection throttling, warnings or suspension of service.

5. Prohibition of Manual Intervention

Our automated strategies rely on precise, algorithmic position-tracking, mathematical scaling, and trade-lifecycle management. Users are heavily discouraged from intervening in any active trading operations managed by the software. This includes, but is not limited to: manually closing trades opened by the EA, opening new trades, modifying stop-loss or take-profit levels inside the MT5 terminal, or running other Expert Advisors, scripts, or manual trades on the same MT5 account simultaneously.

Any such intervention may disrupt the software's internal math, calculations, and execution path. Algo Empire accepts absolutely no responsibility for software malfunctions, execution errors, tracking desynchronization, or financial losses resulting from such account conflicts or user intervention.

Changing an existing running EA to a different one on the same account and symbol is possible, but it can result in temporary algorithm underperformance while the new algorithm works around old positions left by the previous strategy. If you prefer, after deactivation of old EA you can choose to close all active positions and orders manually; this may cause some losses but establish a cleaner state for the new algorithm to work with. Changing EAs often on same live account is suboptimal, if you are unsure what to choose - feel free to test them on demo accounts or by backtesting until you make your mind.

6. Prohibition of Commercial Exploitation

The software licenses granted by Algo Empire - regardless of whether they are under an Free Trial or an active paid Subscription Tier - are strictly intended for personal or corporate account deployment and/or strategy or software performance evaluation.

• Prohibition of Copy-Trading: You are strictly prohibited from using any trade-copying software, local terminal scripts, API bridges, or manual mirroring techniques to replicate, mirror, or copy trades generated by an Algo Empire Expert Advisor onto any unauthorized account.
• Global Prohibition of Prop Firm / Funded Capital: You are strictly prohibited from utilizing Algo Empire software (both on free trial demo environments or paid live subscription profiles) to pass evaluations, complete verification phases, or manage active funded capital for "Prop Firms" (Proprietary Trading Firms) or any third-party capital providers.
• Remedies for Breach: Algo Empire closely monitors terminal behaviors. If we detect or suspect a violation of these prohibitions, we reserve the right to immediately terminate your Access Key, blacklist your MT5 account numbers, and revoke your software licenses without notice or liability, either temporarily or permanently.

7. Software Updates and Maintenance

The software distributed by Algo Empire follows a strict three-digit versioning model (X.Y.Z) to communicate the exact scope and operational impact of code adjustments. By using our software, you acknowledge your understanding of this architecture:

• X (Core Logic Variant): Represents the foundational set of quantitative strategies encoded within the Expert Advisor. This digit is rarely altered. A change here indicates a structural subtraction or addition of a trading algorithm within the lineup, while preserving the overarching family framework.
• Y (Market Optimization & Tuning): Represents internal strategy parameters and/or weights adjustments and other market-related optimization updates. These updates are deployed at regular intervals to adapt the existing strategy logic to shifting market conditions and structural volatility regimes.
• Z (System Patches & Bug Fixes): Represents non-market-related updates, including bug fixes, user interface refinements and technical patches engineered to preserve compatibility with incoming MetaTrader 5 terminal updates.

Risks of Update Negligence

Because Expert Advisors must be downloaded and updated manually by you onto your local execution infrastructure, you assume full responsibility for running the latest compliant software build.

Neglecting software updates carries severe financial and operational risks. If a technical bug, trade execution error, or operational issue is discovered and resolved in a newer release, and you choose to ignore the update, SIA Algo Empire accepts zero legal or financial responsibility for any subsequent losses or malfunctions resulting from that specific bug. Furthermore, neglecting Y-level updates means running stale, unoptimized mathematical models against new market conditions, which can lead to suboptimal results. Neglecting Z-level updates can cause bugs, execution lockups, system crashes or compatibility issues with newly released version of MetaTrader 5 terminal.

Certain software updates will be officially classified by our engineering team as a Critical Update. In these events, an automated critical notification will be broadcast simultaneously across three separate channels: directly onto your active MT5 terminal charts, inside your personal web dashboard, and via your registered email address. You are required to act upon Critical Updates as soon as possible.

To protect your capital against severe software malfunctions or breaking terminal environment conflicts, you explicitly acknowledge and agree that Algo Empire reserves the right to issue a centralized server-side pause signal directly to your running Expert Advisors during a Critical Update event. Upon receipt of this signal, the software will automatically halt all market tracking and normal trade execution operations. During the execution of a critical pause, the software may automatically deploy emergency capital safeguards, such as applying hard stop-losses to any active positions, to actively prevent your accounts from being left in an exposed or unmanaged state.

You explicitly acknowledge that Critical Update events and subsequent software pauses may occur at any time, including during hours when you are asleep, offline, or otherwise physically unable to monitor your terminals. By utilizing our software, you grant Algo Empire a strict pre-authorized mandate to include these automated emergency pauses and position modifications as an automated risk-mitigation safeguard. You agree that these automated actions are executed at your absolute financial risk, and you waive any claims of liability against Algo Empire for trading outcomes, locked-in losses, or missed market movements that occur while you are away from your screens or unable to intervene manually.

User Validation and Testing Protocol

True transparency requires informed decision-making. If you experience doubts or wish to evaluate the operational impact of a newly released version (especially X or Y updates) before deploying it to a live production environment, you are encouraged to utilize your local MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester. You can run parallel historical backtests on both the old and new versions across identical historical intervals using your preferred broker data to fully verify and compare execution metrics before allocating real capital.

Software Deprecation

At certain times, specific old versions of EAs may get 'deprecated' status. They won't be downloadable from our catalog anymore. Depending on circumstances, existing instances of those EAs may either continue to run or become paused. In any case, you must update from deprecated versions as soon as possible, in same way as with Critical Update.

8. Server Connectivity, Telemetry, and Information Stream

To function, the Expert Advisors (.ex5 files) require regular internet connections to the servers of Algo Empire. These connections are used to validate active subscription status and deliver optional analytical metrics or telemetry data, as well as to provide cloud memory functions to synchronize internal states of EAs (see 9).

You explicitly acknowledge that any telemetry metrics, data feeds, or aggregated sentiment numbers transmitted to the software are purely statistical, neutral mathematical data. They do not constitute trading signals, investment recommendations, or financial advice. In these cases, Algo Empire acts strictly as data provider, all trading execution logic remains bound to the software running locally on your terminal.

9. Centralized Cloud Memory & Operational Disclaimer

Our Expert Advisors utilize a centralized remote state storage registry to preserve their internal mathematical state variables (such as virtual grid levels, balancing progressions, and internal memory matrices). This storage functions strictly as a seamless data-loss prevention and migration aid.

Any state stored within Algo Empire centralized database is:

1. Strictly isolated to a single user, specific, authorized trading account and specific symbol.
2. Generated, updated and retrieved strictly and exclusively by the Expert Advisor running on said trading account and symbol under a unique, user-specific Access Key.
3. Kept securely without any modification, logic processing, or active intervention by the central server, for the sole purpose of maintaining a consistent mathematical state for that specific EA at specific account of specific user, across restarts or migrations.

This remote storage acts purely as a cloud memory - a passive mirror of the EA's local state. Algo Empire exercises ZERO discretionary control, portfolio management, or trade execution authorization over these states.

10. Fees, Payments, and Billing

We offer multiple subscription tiers as visible on our Billing page. Tiers marked as "Coming Soon" are not currently available for purchase. By subscribing to an active tier, you agree to pay the fees associated with the specific billing period chosen at checkout.

Payments are processed via the methods made available on the checkout interface (which may include manual bank transfers, credit/debit cards, or third-party payment processors). You are responsible for ensuring that all payment details provided are accurate and complete:

• You must provide the exact unique Reference Code and the exact payment amount (down to the cent) and currency as specified on the checkout screen.
• If a payment arrives with a missing or invalid reference code, or if the amount differs by even one cent, the system will treat the transaction as invalid. Such payments will be rejected or fully refunded without activating the service.

For manual payment methods (like SEPA), access to your chosen subscription plan will be granted within one (1) business day after the funds have successfully cleared and fully settled in our corporate bank account. Due to the digital nature of the services provided, transactions are generally final once access is granted. However, we value our users and operate a good-faith resolution policy:

• Case-by-Case Reviews: If you experience persistent software bugs, a prolonged failure of the service to perform, or if our support team is unable to resolve a critical technical issue, we may issue a voluntary refund or additional subscription time at our sole discretion.
• Contact Support First: Before initiating a formal dispute, bank chargeback, or payment processor claim, you are strongly encouraged to contact our support team directly to sort out the problem or receive an amicable solution. Initiating unauthorized chargebacks without contacting support may result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your existing and future accounts.
• Refund Policy: To comply with financial regulations and maintain strict accounting data security, any and all refunds, rejected payments, or transactional reversals will be issued strictly to the exact originating bank account, IBAN, or payment method from which the funds were sent. We are legally and operationally unable to direct refunds to a different person, third party, alternative bank account, or secondary payment method under any circumstances.

Eligibility and Customer Restrictions

The services provided on this platform are currently available strictly to private individuals acting in a personal capacity (B2C). We do not accept payments from legal entities, businesses, or corporate bodies at this time.

You are strictly forbidden from initiating payments or SEPA transfers from a corporate bank account. If an incoming transfer is identified as originating from a legal entity or business account, the transaction will be deemed invalid. The funds will be automatically rejected or fully refunded directly back to the originating account, and no software access will be granted.

Taxation

All subscriptions are strictly subject to a flat 21% Latvian Value Added Tax (VAT), which is included in the final price displayed at checkout. We do not support tax-exempt or Reverse-Charge processing at this time.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SIA Algo Empire, its directors, and its developers shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential financial losses, trading drawdowns, broker connection failures, latency issues, system crashes, or data loss resulting from the use or inability to use our software.

12. Custom B2B Services

SIA Algo Empire may, under separate commercial agreements, provide customized services to commercial entities, institutional clients, brokers, self-employed professionals, or private investors. These services include, but are not limited to: custom algorithmic software design, proprietary infrastructure development, dedicated server deployment, full-stack platform architecture, and system administration.

In all such engagements, SIA Algo Empire operates strictly as a non-executive software and infrastructure provider and maintainer. We do not assume discretionary trading control, manage pools of capital, or act as an execution broker. Any custom solutions, websites, codebases, or server environments developed or administered by Algo Empire are deployed solely as technical tools at the client’s discretion and absolute risk.
