Terms of Use

Terms of Use

Last Updated: October 21, 2025

1. Introduction

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the algorithmic trading services provided by Questrategy ("the Service").

You, as a User (an individual or entity using our services), must be at least 18 years old and legally competent to enter into this agreement. By using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of the Terms, you are not permitted to use our services.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement. By continuing to use the Services, the User hereby represents and warrants that they have had ample opportunity to consult with independent legal counsel regarding these Terms and fully accepts its terms as a sophisticated corporate entity.

2. Service Description

Questrategy provides cloud-based or server-based algorithmic trading services that allow you, as a User, to replicate trading strategies in your personal trading accounts using a trade mirroring service. The Service operates according to the risk parameters you provide via email and is implemented in the User's trading accounts connected to third-party brokers or exchanges (such as Binance, Bybit, Tickmill). Questrategy is a technology provider offering non-discretionary trade replication tools.

2.1 Non-Custodial Service Questrategy is solely a technology provider and does not hold your funds or assets. Your trading capital remains in your personal account with the broker or exchange you have chosen.

2.2 No Brokerage or Advisory Services Questrategy does not act as a broker, exchange, bank, or investment advisor and does not provide personal investment advice. The decision to use our services and replicate trades is your sole responsibility.

2.3 Access and Account Security You acknowledge and agree that the functionality of the Services is entirely dependent on the provision of valid and functioning access details (including but not limited to API keys, usernames, and passwords) from your chosen broker or exchange. You are solely responsible for managing the security and permissions associated with these access details. Questrategy accepts no liability for any unauthorized use of your access details or any loss resulting from your failure to secure them or limit their permissions.

2.4 User's Execution Environment and Sovereignty (Critical) To ensure regulatory compliance and the non-discretionary nature of the trade replication service, the User is strictly required to ensure that the platform or software used to receive and execute trades ("Execution Terminal") operates on a dedicated Virtual Private Server (VPS) or separate computing infrastructure solely devoted to the User's exclusive use. The User affirms that the purpose of this dedicated infrastructure, regardless of whether it was acquired by the User or provided by Questrategy as a Hosting Service, is to maintain the User's exclusive physical sovereignty over the execution layer. This is to ensure absolute separation of control and prevent any potential claim of technological or central pooling of funds by Questrategy, in accordance with relevant financial regulations. The User's failure to maintain such a dedicated environment constitutes a fundamental breach of these Terms.

2.5 Software Tools Only and No Agency The algorithms provided by Questrategy shall be considered solely as software tools for executing automated trades in accordance with the User's instructions and settings. Questrategy's algorithms do not provide financial advice or fiduciary duty and are not explicitly defined as agents or representatives of the User. All investment decisions and subsequent execution via the algorithms are the full responsibility of the User. Furthermore, the User acknowledges that the algorithms are not designed, programmed, or intended to assess the personal financial situation, investment objectives, or suitability of the strategies for the User.

3. Definition of Service Provider Services and Separation of Control

3.1 Definition of Service Provider Services A. Definition of Services: The Service Provider (Questrategy) provides the User with software and algorithmic services (code). Additionally, depending on the specific engagement circumstances, the Service Provider may also provide the User with infrastructure and Hosting services for the execution environment (VPS or VM). B. No Portfolio Management: It is clarified that the Service Provider does not engage in portfolio management, does not provide investment advice, and does not make trading decisions. The services provided by the Service Provider, including Hosting services (if provided), are intended solely to support the execution of the User's decisions.

3.2 User Sovereignty and Separation of Control The User declares and affirms that they retain full, exclusive sovereignty and absolute responsibility for:

Implementation: The management, ongoing operation, and any modification of the trading code (EA or Copier) on the MetaTrader platform.

Trading: Making the final execution decision (including through mechanisms for negative slippage or internal risk controls).

Disconnection: The immediate ability to change trading access details or stop the code's operation.

3.3 Control and Documentation of Risk Management 

The User affirms that the essential, Value-Driving Business Decisions—specifically those related to Capital Allocation, Risk Management Policy, Maximum Exposure, and Loss Limits (Hard Stops)—are made, documented, and governed exclusively by the User’s management or board outside of Israel. The Services provided by Questrategy, including the trade signals and their replication (whether algorithmic or manually initiated by Questrategy personnel), constitute a professional service input which is strictly subordinate to and constrained by the User's foreign-based risk management parameters. The User shall maintain complete and contemporaneous documentation proving the foreign jurisdiction for all such Value-Driving Business Decisions.

3.4 Documentation of Risk Decisions: The User shall maintain complete and contemporaneous records, verifiable by audit where legally required, of all Value-Driving Business Decisions, including, but not limited to, the determination of Loss Limits, Maximum Exposure, and Capital Allocation, which are conducted and governed exclusively outside of Israel.

4. Financial Terms and Licensing Fees

4.1 Value-Based Licensing Fees In exchange for the license and use of Questrategy's proprietary algorithmic technology, the User agrees to pay Questrategy licensing fees ("Licensing Fees") as specified in a separate service agreement, addendum, or binding email confirmation. These fees are structured as a proportional share of the economic value and utility (the "Added Value") provided by the software to the User's trading operations during the billing period. The User expressly acknowledges that this fee constitutes a payment for the non-discretionary license of a software tool and the technological value derived from its use, and not a payment for investment advice, asset management, or marketing/referral services. The calculation of the Added Value is solely a metric for determining the fair market price (Arm's Length Compensation) for the quality and performance of the proprietary code and its maintenance, and does not represent an economic sharing of investment profits or losses from the User's capital. This fee structure is designed to maintain Questrategy's status exclusively as a technology provider. The User further acknowledges and agrees that these Licensing Fees represent Arm’s Length compensation (at market rate) for the specialized technological and advisory services provided, and do not constitute a profit-sharing arrangement arising from a shared operating presence or an Israeli-controlled permanent establishment of the User. The substantial economic residual (the remaining profit after paying Questrategy) is retained by the User and represents the foreign User’s return for assuming 100% of the Capital Risk. The specific calculation method for the Added Value is detailed in the separate service agreement.

5. No Guarantee of Trade Execution

Questrategy's system generates trading signals in accordance with the risk parameters you have provided, but the actual execution of the trades is carried out by third-party platforms (such as your chosen broker or exchange). Questrategy does not guarantee that every trading signal will be executed in your account, as execution depends on factors beyond our control, including:

Technical failures, malfunctions, or errors of brokers, exchanges, or trade mirroring services;

Slippage, rejection, or partial filling of orders by the broker or exchange;

Connectivity issues or delays in third-party API services.

Questrategy shall not be liable for any failure, error, or delay in trade execution resulting from third-party platforms or services.

6. No Financial Advice or Fiduciary Duty

The services and information provided by Questrategy are for informational and educational purposes only and do not constitute financial, investment, or trading advice. Our algorithms and trading signals are generated without regard to your financial situation, investment goals, or needs. Questrategy is not a registered investment advisor and does not owe you a fiduciary duty. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that our services are suitable for you, considering your risk management policy. Questrategy shall not be liable for any loss incurred by you as a result of using our algorithms or signals. You bear full responsibility for your trading decisions and their outcomes in your account.

7. Compliance with Regulatory Requirements

As a user of Questrategy's services, you must ensure that your use complies with all applicable local, national, and international laws and regulations. We recommend consulting with your legal advisor to ensure compliance with the relevant requirements. For more information, please refer to our Risk Disclosure page. Questrategy reserves the right to terminate services if your use does not comply with legal requirements.

7.1 Non-Creation of Permanent Establishment (PE)

Notwithstanding the provision of any services hereunder, including the initiation of trading signals from Israel by Questrategy personnel, it is expressly declared and agreed that the Services do not, and are not intended to, create a Permanent Establishment (PE) for the User or any affiliated foreign entity of the User within the State of Israel, pursuant to any applicable tax treaty or domestic law.

7.2 User's Regulatory Status and Compliance: The User hereby represents and warrants that it is fully compliant with all applicable anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations in its operating jurisdiction. The User affirms that all funds utilized in connection with the Service have undergone the necessary vetting procedures by its clearing broker/exchange (e.g., Tickmill, Binance). Furthermore, the User certifies that it holds any and all necessary licenses or is exempt from licensing requirements in its jurisdiction to engage in the trading activities and/or asset management activities related to the Service. The User shall provide immediate written notification to Questrategy upon any change in its regulatory status or any formal inquiry by a regulatory body.

7.3 Right of Immediate Termination: Questrategy reserves the right to immediately suspend or terminate the Services, without prior notice or liability, should Questrategy become aware of any credible suspicion or regulatory inquiry related to the User's non-compliance with AML/KYC laws, sanctions, or licensing requirements, irrespective of the User's ultimate legal culpability.

Regulatory Indemnification: You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Questrategy and its officers and personnel (including the individual operating the Service) from any claim, liability, damage, loss, and expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising out of or related to your failure to comply with any laws, regulations, licensing requirements, or third-party rights, including, without limitation, any regulatory action taken against Questrategy as a result of your use of the Services or your status as a financial or investment entity in your jurisdiction. This indemnification shall explicitly cover any claims, assessments, or liabilities arising from any foreign or domestic tax authority alleging that the User's operations created a Permanent Establishment (PE) for the User or its affiliates in the State of Israel or any other jurisdiction.

8. Confidentiality of Trading and Development Teams

Questrategy is committed to maintaining the confidentiality of its trading and development teams for intellectual property reasons. We guarantee that this confidentiality does not affect the quality or reliability of the services, as our systems undergo rigorous testing and operational supervision, as detailed on the Risk Disclosure page.

9. Prohibited Uses

9.0 Confidentiality and IP Protection: The User acknowledges that all algorithmic code, intellectual property, trading methodologies, and the specific Trade Signals (including all associated execution parameters) transmitted by Questrategy are highly confidential and proprietary information (the 'Proprietary IP').

You agree not to use the Services in ways that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Services, or interfere with any other party's use of the Services, including, but not limited to:

Reverse engineering, disassembling, decompiling, decrypting, or otherwise attempting to derive the source code of the Services or any related software; or attempting to deduce, analyze, or reverse-engineer the underlying strategy or methodology from the executed Trade Signals or associated data (the Proprietary IP).

Mirroring or duplicating trades without Questrategy's knowledge, including, but not limited to, using the trade mirroring service to copy trades from one account to another without authorization; or transmitting signals from the User’s Execution Terminal to any third-party accounts or other legal entities for the purpose of generating profits or fees from external parties.

Renting, leasing, selling, or otherwise transferring the rights to use the Services to other Users or third parties;

Creating multiple accounts or using another person's account without authorization;

Engaging in activities that disrupt, interfere with, disable, or access without authorization the servers, networks, computer systems, or other infrastructure supporting or connected to the Services;

Removing or altering any copyright notices (including copyright and trademark notices) from the Services.

Questrategy reserves the right to investigate and take appropriate legal action against anyone who, in Questrategy's sole discretion, violates this provision, including, but not limited to, suspending or terminating the violator's account and reporting such activity to law enforcement authorities.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Questrategy, its officers, personnel, and the individual operating the Service shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:

Your use of or inability to use the Services;

Errors, delays, or failures in trade execution;

Reliance on information, tools, or algorithms provided by Questrategy;

Unauthorized access or use of our systems or your account;

Force majeure events, such as natural disasters or infrastructure disruptions.

You agree that you are responsible for your actions when using the Services, including any claim or damage arising from a breach of these Terms, and we may require you to cover related costs, such as legal expenses.

Maximum Liability: Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained herein, Questrategy's aggregate liability to you for any cause whatsoever, and regardless of the form of the action, shall at all times be limited to the greater of (a) the amount paid, if any, by you to Questrategy for the Services during the six (6) month period preceding the cause of action, or (b) fifty U.S. dollars (USD 50.00).

11. Termination of Services

Questrategy reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to its algorithmic trading services, including the trade mirroring service, at any time, without prior notice, for any reason, including:

Breach of these Terms;

Suspicion of illegal activity or fraud;

Non-compliance with regulatory requirements.

Any regulatory event, change in sanctions compliance status, or withdrawal of the User's or the User's chosen broker/exchange's operating license that, in Questrategy's sole judgment, creates a material legal or operational risk.

Upon termination, your access to the trade mirroring service will be disconnected, and you will no longer be able to use the Services. Certain obligations in these Terms, such as limitation of liability and confidentiality, shall continue to apply after termination.

Disconnection Responsibility: Upon termination for any reason, the User must immediately and irretrievably delete all API keys and access details provided to Questrategy, and/or verify that the Execution Terminal has ceased receiving signals from the Service. Questrategy shall also, upon termination, immediately revoke all internal access permissions associated with the User's account.

12. Updates to the Terms

Questrategy may update these Terms of Use from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of these Terms. If the changes are material, we will provide you with at least 30 days' advance notice before the changes take effect. The notice will be provided by posting the updated Terms on our website. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes your agreement to the changes. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Services.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of Questrategy's services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Israel. The parties acknowledge that the User is a corporate/institutional entity and a sophisticated user, and this choice of law is for contractual convenience and does not imply or invoke the application of any consumer protection laws of the State of Israel.

Mandatory Binding Arbitration: Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach, termination, or invalidity thereof, shall be settled by mandatory and binding arbitration in Tel Aviv, Israel, in accordance with the rules of the Israeli Institution of Commercial Arbitration (IICA). The language of the arbitration shall be English. The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding upon both parties.
