By accessing, browsing, or otherwise utilizing the Platform, you expressly acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms, together with all other notices, statements, disclaimers, and policies incorporated herein by reference, including, without limitation, our Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of this agreement. If you do not agree with these Terms in their entirety, you must immediately discontinue all access to and use of the Platform. Longshanks Trading reserves the right, exercisable in its sole and unfettered discretion, to modify, amend, revise, supplement, or replace these Terms at any time and without prior notice. All such changes shall take effect upon publication on the Platform. Your continued access or use of the Platform following such publication constitutes your irrevocable acceptance of the revised Terms. You are advised to review this document periodically to ensure awareness of your continuing obligations.

1 — Legal Status of Longshanks Trading

Longshanks Trading Limited is a proprietary trading entity engaged in quantitative and algorithmic trading strategies across global financial markets. The Company operates exclusively with its own capital and resources, utilizing proprietary systems, technologies, and intellectual property. It neither solicits nor manages funds from the public, and it does not hold itself out as providing investment services or financial advice to any person. Accordingly, Longshanks Trading is not authorized or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or any equivalent regulatory body in any other jurisdiction. Nothing contained on the Platform shall be construed as a solicitation, recommendation, or inducement to engage in the purchase or sale of securities, financial instruments, or other investments. Any references to trading activity, performance, or strategies are presented solely for descriptive or informational purposes. You acknowledge and agree that the Platform is not intended to provide investment, legal, accounting, or tax advice, and that you will not rely on any content as constituting such advice.

2 — Eligibility and Access Restrictions

Access to the Platform is restricted to natural persons who have attained at least eighteen years of age or the applicable age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence, whichever is higher, and who possess the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements. By accessing the Platform, you represent and warrant that you meet these criteria. If you do not satisfy these requirements, you must immediately cease all use of the Platform. The Platform is not intended for use in jurisdictions where its access or use would contravene applicable law, rule, regulation, or governmental directive, or where such use would subject Longshanks Trading to registration, oversight, or compliance obligations beyond those imposed under the laws of England and Wales. We make no representation that the Platform or its content is lawful or appropriate for use in any specific jurisdiction. Users accessing the Platform from outside the United Kingdom do so at their own initiative and risk, and remain solely responsible for compliance with all applicable local laws.

You further undertake not to use the Platform for any purpose that is unlawful, fraudulent, unauthorized, or otherwise inconsistent with these Terms; not to decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, algorithms, or underlying logic of any component of the Platform; not to interfere with the proper operation of the Platform by introducing viruses, malware, denial-of-service attacks, or any similar acts; not to harvest, scrape, or collect information or data from the Platform by automated means; and not to falsely imply or represent any association, partnership, endorsement, or affiliation with Longshanks Trading without our express prior written consent.

3 — Absence of Client Relationship or Fiduciary Duty

You expressly acknowledge that your use of the Platform does not and shall not create any form of client, fiduciary, partnership, agency, joint venture, advisory, or employment relationship between you and Longshanks Trading. The Platform is made available for general informational purposes only and does not constitute an invitation or inducement to engage in any transaction. You must not construe any communication, statement, or content provided through the Platform as professional, financial, or investment advice. Longshanks Trading owes no fiduciary duties to you, whether of loyalty, care, disclosure, or otherwise. You are solely responsible for exercising your own judgment, and you should seek independent professional advice before relying on any information obtained from or through the Platform. Any reliance you place upon such information is strictly at your own risk.

4 — Intellectual Property Rights

The Platform and all associated materials, including text, graphics, design, layout, databases, data compilations, software, algorithms, models, interfaces, logos, trade names, service marks, and other forms of intellectual property (collectively, “Intellectual Property”), are and shall remain the exclusive property of Longshanks Trading or its licensors. Such Intellectual Property is protected by domestic and international laws governing copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and unfair competition. Subject to strict compliance with these Terms, you are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Platform solely for legitimate, personal, and non-commercial purposes. No ownership or other proprietary rights are conveyed to you under this license. You are expressly prohibited from reproducing, distributing, displaying, publishing, transmitting, modifying, creating derivative works from, or otherwise exploiting any portion of the Platform or its content for any commercial purpose without the prior written authorization of Longshanks Trading. Unauthorized use of our Intellectual Property shall constitute a material breach of these Terms and may expose you to civil liability and criminal prosecution under applicable law.

5 — Confidential Information

The Platform may, from time to time, disclose or make accessible certain information that is proprietary, sensitive, or otherwise confidential to Longshanks Trading. Such information may include, without limitation, financial data, proprietary trading strategies, algorithms, system architecture, performance metrics, research materials, business processes, and other non-public information (collectively, “Confidential Information”). By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge the confidential nature of this information and agree to maintain it in strict confidence. You shall not disclose, reproduce, transmit, disseminate, or otherwise make available any Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of Longshanks Trading. You further agree to use Confidential Information solely for the purpose for which it was made available, and not for any competitive, commercial, or personal advantage. The obligations of confidentiality contained herein shall survive termination of your access to the Platform and remain binding for a period of ten years thereafter, or for such more extended period as required by law or by the enduring nature of trade secrets.

6 — Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The Platform and all information, materials, content, and functionality available therein are provided strictly on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Longshanks Trading disclaims all representations, warranties, guarantees, and conditions, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, reliability, title, and non-infringement. Longshanks Trading makes no representation or warranty that the Platform or its contents will be uninterrupted, error-free, timely, or secure, or that defects will be corrected, or that the Platform or any associated server is free of viruses, malware, or other harmful components. Access to and use of the Platform are undertaken entirely at your own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Longshanks Trading, together with its officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, affiliates, and licensors, shall not be liable to you or any third party for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary, or special damages, including but not limited to lost profits, loss of goodwill, loss of opportunity, business interruption, or loss of data, whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or otherwise, even if the possibility of such damages has been advised. In no event shall the total aggregate liability of Longshanks Trading arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Platform exceed one hundred pounds sterling (£100). This limitation shall apply regardless of the form of action, whether contractual, tortious, statutory, or otherwise, and whether arising by reason of negligence, strict liability, or otherwise. Nothing in these Terms shall exclude or limit liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under English law.

7 — Indemnification

You agree, at your own expense, to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Longshanks Trading and its respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, actions, proceedings, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Platform, your violation of any applicable law or regulation, or your infringement of any intellectual property or other right of any third party. Longshanks Trading reserves the exclusive right to assume the defence and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you. In this event, you shall fully cooperate with us in asserting all available defences. Your indemnification obligations shall survive termination of these Terms and any use of the Platform.

8 — Suspension and Termination

Longshanks Trading may, in its sole and unchallengeable discretion, suspend, restrict, or permanently terminate your access to the Platform at any time, with or without notice, if we determine that you have violated these Terms, engaged in conduct detrimental to the operation or reputation of the Platform, or otherwise acted in a manner inconsistent with our interests or applicable law. Upon termination, all rights granted to you under these Terms shall immediately cease, and you must promptly discontinue all use of the Platform and destroy any content or materials obtained therefrom. Termination shall not affect any accrued rights or obligations of either party, nor shall it relieve you of any continuing confidentiality, indemnity, or limitation of liability obligations, all of which shall survive termination.

9 — Data Protection and Privacy

Longshanks Trading processes personal data in accordance with applicable data protection legislation, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Our data collection, use, storage, and disclosure practices are described comprehensively in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms by reference. By accessing the Platform, you acknowledge that you have reviewed and accepted the Privacy Policy and consent, where applicable, to the collection, processing, and use of your personal data as described therein. You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of any personal data you provide.

10 — Links to Third-Party Sites

The Platform may contain links, references, or integrations with third-party websites, applications, or resources. Such links are provided solely for convenience and do not imply endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation by Longshanks Trading. We do not control, and assume no responsibility for, the content, policies, or practices of third-party sites or services. Your access and use of third-party resources are undertaken entirely at your own risk, and you should review the terms and privacy policies applicable to those third parties before engaging with them.

11 — Force Majeure

Longshanks Trading shall not be held liable or deemed to be in breach of these Terms for any delay or failure in performance arising from events or circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labour disputes, epidemic, pandemic, fire, flood, explosion, governmental action, power failure, telecommunications breakdown, or other events of a similar nature (“Force Majeure Events”). During the continuance of any such event, Longshanks Trading’s obligations shall be suspended to the extent affected, and the time for performance shall be extended accordingly. Where a Force Majeure Event continues for a period exceeding sixty days, we may, at our discretion, terminate or suspend access to the Platform without liability.

12 — Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms, together with all disputes, claims, or causes of action (whether contractual or non-contractual) arising from or relating to them, their subject matter, or formation, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You irrevocably agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Platform. You expressly waive any objection to venue or to the exercise of such jurisdiction, including any argument based on forum non conveniens or similar doctrine.

13 — Notices and Communications

All notices, communications, or other correspondence required or permitted under these Terms shall be in writing. They shall be deemed duly given when delivered personally, sent by pre-paid first-class post, or transmitted by email to the contact details specified on the Platform or otherwise designated by Longshanks Trading. Electronic notices shall be deemed received on the date of transmission, provided no delivery failure notification is received.

14 — Entire Agreement and Severability

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other legal notices or policies published on the Platform, constitute the entire agreement between you and Longshanks Trading with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior understandings, arrangements, or communications.

Suppose any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction. In that case, such provision shall be severed to the extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that most closely approximates the original intent and economic impact.

15 — Waiver and Assignment

No waiver by Longshanks Trading of any breach or default under these Terms shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. Any failure by Longshanks Trading to enforce its rights shall not constitute a waiver of such rights. You may not assign, transfer, or delegate your rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of Longshanks Trading. We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate restructuring, or sale of assets.

16 — Interpretation

Headings and section titles are for convenience only and shall not affect interpretation. References to statutes or regulations include references to any amendments, re-enactments, or replacements thereof. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” shall be construed without limitation.

Where context permits, words in the singular include the plural and vice versa, and references to any gender include all genders. These Terms shall be construed reasonably and not strictly for or against either party.
