Terms of service

These terms are the agreement between you and LogicFrame LLC, a Georgia (United States) limited liability company at 600 Garson Dr NE, Apt 7203, Atlanta, Georgia, United States ("PipYard", "we"), for using PipYard: the website and web app at pipyard.com, the API, the PipYard Connector, the Android app and the PipYard connector in AI assistants. You accept them when you confirm your age and accept the terms at the start, and by using PipYard. Our privacy policy explains how we handle your data.

1. What PipYard is, and isn't

  • PipYard is software for building and testing your own trading strategies and for running them on trading accounts you control, the way you set it up.
  • It's not investment advice. PipYard doesn't recommend what to trade, give signals or tell you whether a strategy is suitable for you. Reports, rankings, release-gate results and AI output describe tests of your own rules; they're information, not advice.
  • We're not a broker, a fund manager or an investment adviser. We never hold your money or your broker credentials, and we don't trade for our own account against you.
  • Results are simulated. Backtests, walk-forward and forward tests use historical or demo data. Past or simulated performance doesn't guarantee future results.
  • AI output can be wrong. Strategies, code and explanations produced with AI, inside PipYard or in an AI assistant you connect, may contain mistakes. Check them before you rely on them.
  • Trading forex, gold and CFDs carries a high risk of loss, and you can lose more than you expect. You decide what trades and when, and you're responsible for every trading decision and its result.

2. Who can use PipYard

You must be 18 or older and able to enter into a contract. You may not use PipYard if you're in, or ordinarily resident in, a country or region where it isn't offered (for example, countries and territories under comprehensive US sanctions), or if you're subject to sanctions. You're responsible for making sure that trading, automated trading and using PipYard are allowed for you where you live and by your broker.

3. Your account

  • Give accurate details, keep your sign-in secure and don't share your account. Turn on 2-step verification in Settings; it's required before live trading.
  • You're responsible for what happens under your account, including what AI assistants you connect do with PipYard's tools on your behalf.
  • Tell us at support@pipyard.com if you think someone else has used your account.

4. Your MT5 accounts and the Connector

  • PipYard works with MetaTrader 5 accounts you hold with brokers of your choice. Your relationship with your broker is between you and them. Check that your broker and account allow automated trading before you use it.
  • The PipYard Connector runs on your own PC or server and talks to your MT5 there. PipYard only acts on accounts you link, within the execution mode you choose for each account (Off, Assist or Algo), and only within the limits and risk guard you set.
  • New strategies run on demo accounts first. Live trading isn't available in this release. When it becomes available, it will need, per account and per strategy version, a passed demo forward test, hard limits, 2-step verification and your recorded consent, and it may come with additional terms.
  • PipYard never closes trades you open yourself. When a limit you set is reached, the risk guard can lock new entries on that account; your open positions stay yours to manage.
  • Software, internet connections, brokers and MT5 can fail or be delayed. Keep your own way to watch and manage your positions; don't rely on PipYard as your only one.

5. Plans, payments and credits

  • PipYard has a free plan and paid plans, as described on our plans page when you choose one. Paid plans are billed through Stripe, monthly or yearly, in advance.
  • Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period until you cancel. You can cancel any time in Settings → Plan and billing; you keep your plan until the end of the period you paid for.
  • Prepayments (by card, Alipay, WeChat Pay or USDC) cover the period you paid for and don't renew.
  • Trials: where a plan includes a free trial, it's once per person; your subscription starts when it ends unless you cancel before.
  • Compute credits come with each plan and renew each billing period (on the 1st of the month on the free plan); unused included credits don't carry over. A run shows its estimate before it starts and is charged what it actually used.
  • Credit packs add compute credits on top of your plan. A run uses them only after the period's included credits run out. Pack credits don't expire while your account exists and end when you delete it. If a pack is refunded, the refunded share of its credits is removed.
  • Price changes: we may change prices and plans. If you're subscribed, you keep your price and plan terms for as long as you stay on that plan; we'll tell you in advance if we ever need to change them.
  • Taxes: prices are shown in US dollars and include applicable taxes.
  • Refunds: Payments are not refunded, except where the law requires a refund or we can't accept the payment: a payment from a country or region where PipYard isn't offered is refunded, and no plan or credits are provided for it. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the billing period you have paid for. Deleting your account cancels a subscription immediately, without a refund for the rest of the period.

6. Your content

  • Your strategies, rules, code, notes, price data and results stay yours. You give us permission to store, process and display them only as needed to provide PipYard to you and the people you share them with, and to keep the records described in our privacy policy.
  • Make sure you have the rights to what you upload, including price data from third parties, which often may only be used for personal purposes.
  • Workspaces: the workspace owner owns the strategies in it. Members may export only the versions they wrote, unless the owner allows more. When a member leaves a workspace or deletes their account, what they wrote there stays with the workspace.

7. Acceptable use

Don't use PipYard to:

  • break the law, your broker's terms or anyone's rights;
  • provide investment advice, signals, copy trading or managed accounts to others, unless you're authorised to do so and take full responsibility for it;
  • attack, probe or overload PipYard, get around its limits or security, or reverse engineer it except where the law allows;
  • share your account, resell PipYard, or access it by automated means other than the API and connectors we provide;
  • upload malware, or code meant to harm anyone's computer or account.

We may limit, suspend or close accounts that break these terms or put PipYard or others at risk. Where we can, we'll tell you why first. Suspending an account pauses new automated entries on your linked accounts; open positions stay in MT5 with their stop-loss and take-profit.

8. Other services

PipYard works with services we don't control: MetaTrader 5 (MetaQuotes), your broker, AI providers, AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT, Stripe and Google. Your use of them is under their terms, and we're not responsible for them. MetaTrader, MT4, MT5 and MQL5 are trademarks of MetaQuotes Ltd; PipYard isn't affiliated with or endorsed by MetaQuotes, Anthropic or OpenAI.

9. Changes to PipYard and to these terms

We keep improving PipYard, and features may change, be added or be removed; features marked as new or "coming soon" may change before they're final. We may update these terms; if a change matters, we'll tell you in the app or by email before it applies. If you don't agree, you can stop using PipYard and delete your account.

10. Disclaimers

PipYard is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no promises that it will be uninterrupted, error-free or fit for a particular purpose, or that any strategy, test, report or AI output is accurate or will be profitable.

11. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, PipYard isn't liable for trading losses, lost profits, or indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability for any claim about PipYard is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, or your rights as a consumer where you live.

12. Ending

You can stop using PipYard any time and delete your account in Settings. We may end these terms or close the service with 30 days' notice, or straight away for a serious breach. What happens to your data then is in our privacy policy. Sections 1, 6, 10, 11 and 13 continue after the agreement ends.

13. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, and disputes go to the state and federal courts located in Atlanta, Georgia. If you're a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country you live in. Before starting a dispute, write to us at support@pipyard.com and we'll try to resolve it.
