your data, our liability

accuracy disclaimer

we provide market data as accurately as possible. however:

  • • exchanges have bugs. we have bugs. verify critical data with multiple sources.
  • • don't use this as your only source for live trading decisions.
  • • this is not financial advice.

no warranties

the service is provided "as-is" without warranties of accuracy, completeness, or availability. we do our best to keep it running, but uptimes vary.

liability cap

our total liability to you is limited to the fees you've paid in the last 3 months (currently $0 for free tier). we're not liable for trading losses, lost profits, or indirect damages.

quotas & rate limits

  • • free tier: 25 GB/month
  • • api: standard rate limits apply (see docs)
  • • if you consistently hit limits, email us about upgrading

we reserve the right to:

  • • suspend accounts for quota abuse or policy violations
  • • enforce rate limiting to protect system stability
  • • terminate service if you violate these terms

account termination

you can delete your account anytime. we'll wipe your personal data except:

  • • anonymized download logs (for infrastructure planning)
  • • data retention required by law

we can terminate your account if you:

  • • violate these terms repeatedly
  • • abuse the service
  • • use it for illegal purposes

changes to these terms
