Terms & Conditions
The terms governing use of the Quant Trading Labs website, membership services, research content, member terminal, publications and downloadable materials.
These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") govern your use of the Quant Trading Labs website, membership services, research content, member terminal, publications, downloadable files, prompts, templates, research material and related digital services (together, the "service").
In these Terms, "Quant Trading Labs", "QTL", "we", "us" and "our" refer to Quant Trading Labs, and "you" refers to the person using the service. Please read these Terms carefully and keep a copy for your records.
About Quant Trading Labs
Quant Trading Labs ("QTL", "we", "us", "our") publishes quantitative trading research, educational material, market commentary, research frameworks, strategy research, AI-assisted research resources, prompts, technical material and member-only digital content.
QTL is a research and education service. We do not provide personalised investment advice, financial advice, portfolio management or brokerage services, and nothing we publish is a recommendation to buy or sell any particular financial instrument.
Acceptance of These Terms
By accessing the website, creating an account, purchasing a membership, using member-only services or downloading QTL materials, you agree to these Terms.
If you do not agree with these Terms, you should not use the relevant services.
Eligibility and Account Responsibility
When you register for or use a QTL account:
- You must provide accurate and current registration information.
- You must keep your account credentials secure and confidential.
- Accounts are personal to the registered member.
- You must not share logins or allow unauthorised access to member-only areas.
- You are responsible for activity that takes place through your account.
- We may suspend an account where we reasonably suspect misuse, fraud, a security issue or a serious breach of these Terms.
Membership
Membership gives access to the services and materials included in the relevant membership offering at the time of purchase.
- Membership features may include the Research Terminal, Member Library, Daily Quant Brief, Research Vault, downloadable publications, strategy research, prompts, guides and other member resources.
- Exact inclusions may evolve as the service develops and as research is added, updated or retired.
- Access is subject to your membership remaining active and to your compliance with these Terms.
We do not promise a specific quantity of reports, strategies, prompts or updates unless that is expressly stated on the membership purchase page.
Fees, Billing, Renewals and Cancellation
- Prices and billing frequency are displayed before you complete a purchase.
- Payments are processed by the payment providers offered on the website.
- Where a membership renews automatically, the renewal terms are disclosed clearly before purchase.
- You can cancel using the cancellation method shown in your account or billing area.
- Cancellation normally prevents future renewal but does not automatically create a refund for a period already supplied, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
Nothing in these Terms limits your statutory cancellation, refund or other consumer rights.
Digital Content and Downloads
Membership may give access to downloadable digital materials including PDFs, research publications, manuals, prompts, technical guides, research artefacts, templates, code examples and other digital files.
The availability of individual downloads may change as publications are updated, superseded or archived.
Digital content is supplied subject to applicable consumer law, and nothing in these Terms excludes your statutory rights relating to digital content.
Licence to Use QTL Materials
Subject to these Terms, we grant members a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to access and use QTL materials for their own personal research, education and internal trading or research workflow. This licence does not transfer ownership or any intellectual-property rights.
Unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing, you must not:
- Resell QTL content.
- Redistribute downloadable publications.
- Upload QTL material to public repositories.
- Publish substantial portions of QTL material elsewhere.
- Share member-only files with non-members.
- Sublicense QTL content.
- Create a competing commercial information product substantially based on QTL materials.
- Remove copyright, branding, proprietary notices or attribution.
- Use automated scraping or bulk extraction to reproduce the member library.
Reasonable personal use
- Making personal notes from QTL research.
- Using prompts within your own research workflow.
- Adapting templates for your own internal use.
- Implementing research concepts independently.
Strategies, concepts and methodologies may be studied and independently implemented. QTL publications themselves may not be copied or redistributed.
AI Prompts, Code and Technical Material
QTL may provide AI prompts, scripts, code examples, configuration examples, deployment guidance and technical research resources.
- These materials are supplied for research and educational use.
- You are responsible for reviewing, testing and validating anything before deployment.
- Code may contain errors or require adaptation to your environment.
- AI-generated outputs should be independently checked.
- You remain responsible for your own systems, infrastructure, trading accounts and deployment decisions.
Acceptable Use
You must not:
- Use the service for any unlawful purpose.
- Interfere with the security or availability of the service.
- Attempt unauthorised access to any part of the platform.
- Reverse engineer protected website functionality, except where legally permitted.

- Impersonate another person.
- Present QTL research in a misleading way, including as QTL-endorsed material where it is not.
Intellectual Property
The website, QTL branding, publications, research documents, original text, graphics, frameworks, structured research materials and other proprietary content are owned by or licensed to Quant Trading Labs and are protected by applicable intellectual-property law.
Third-party trademarks, datasets, quotations, software and other materials remain the property of their respective owners.
Research, Market Data and Information
- Information may be drawn from sources believed to be reliable but may contain errors or omissions.
- Markets and financial information change rapidly.
- Historical research can become outdated.
- Market reports represent research views at the time of publication.
- We may update or supersede research at any time.
- We do not guarantee the completeness, accuracy or continued availability of every item.
Investment and Trading Risk
- Trading and investing involve risk.
- Losses can exceed expectations and, where leverage is used, may be substantial.
- Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
- Backtests, simulations, hypothetical results and research models have inherent limitations.
- Published strategy research is not a promise of future returns.
- You should independently assess suitability and obtain professional advice where appropriate.

No Personalised Advice
QTL does not know your personal financial circumstances, objectives, tax position or risk tolerance. QTL content should therefore not be treated as personalised financial, investment, legal, accounting or tax advice.
Third-Party Services
The website may link to or interact with third-party services including payment providers, brokers, trading platforms, market-data providers, AI providers, software services and external websites.
We are not responsible for the operation, availability or independent terms of third-party services, and your use of them is governed by their own terms.
Service Availability and Changes
We may from time to time:
- Update the website.
- Add or remove features.
- Revise research.
- Change technical systems.
- Perform maintenance.
- Discontinue obsolete material.
We do not promise uninterrupted or error-free availability. Where a material change affects a paid membership, we will act reasonably and in accordance with applicable consumer law.
Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate access where it is proportionate to do so, including in cases of:
- Non-payment.
- Fraud.
- Account sharing.
- Security threats.
- Illegal use of the service.
- Material breach of these Terms.
- Infringement of QTL intellectual property.
Where practical we will tell you the reason and, where appropriate, give you an opportunity to resolve the issue. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.
Disclaimers
Subject to applicable law, the service is supplied for research and educational purposes, and you remain responsible for the decisions you make using QTL content.
We do not attempt to exclude any responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Limitation of Liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, and for any statutory consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Subject to the above, and to the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for losses arising solely from independent trading or investment decisions you make on the basis of research material, or for indirect losses that were not reasonably foreseeable at the time you started using the service.
Business Use
These Terms are written primarily for individual members using the service for their own research and education.
Where you act in the course of a business, additional or separate commercial terms may apply, and any business or enterprise arrangement must be expressly agreed with us in writing.
Privacy and Cookies
Personal information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, and cookies used by the website are described in our Cookie Policy. Both are linked at the foot of this page.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Where a change is material, we will communicate it appropriately, and the version published on the website will always show the current last-updated date.
Changes will not retrospectively remove statutory rights that have already accrued to you.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. If you are a consumer, you keep the benefit of any mandatory protections available to you under the law of the country in which you live, and you may be able to bring proceedings in your local courts.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply in full.
No Waiver
If we do not enforce a provision of these Terms immediately, that does not waive our right to enforce it later.
Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Risk Disclosure and any specific membership or payment terms presented at the point of purchase, form the agreement between you and QTL concerning your use of the service — subject always to rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

If you have a question about these Terms, your membership or your account, please get in touch through our contact page. We aim to respond to enquiries promptly and will always confirm anything material in writing.
These Terms are published and maintained by Quant Trading Labs. They are not a substitute for independent legal advice.
