The Products and Materials, including all software outputs, examples, documentation, articles, communications, and other content, are provided for informational and educational purposes only. Nothing in the Products and Materials is intended to, and shall not be construed to, constitute: (a) investment, trading, financial, tax, accounting, or legal advice; (b) a recommendation, solicitation, or offer to buy, sell, or hold any security, derivative, commodity, or other financial instrument; or (c) the provision of personalized investment advice or financial planning services.
Safepine LLC is not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), any state securities regulator, or any foreign regulatory authority in any advisory, brokerage, or similar capacity. Safepine does not manage assets, monitor user positions or accounts, or act as an agent or fiduciary for any user.
You are solely responsible for evaluating any information obtained through the Products and for all decisions you make. You should consult with a qualified financial, tax, or legal professional before making any investment or trading decisions.
The Products may allow users to run simulations or models, including models applied to historical or synthetic data. Any performance figures, projections, or other numerical outputs generated by the Products are hypothetical in nature and are provided solely for illustrative and analytical purposes.
CFTC Rule 4.41 Disclosure: In accordance with U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulations, you acknowledge the following inherent limitations of hypothetical performance:
"These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown."
Market Risk Warning: All markets and investments involve significant risk, including the possible loss of principal. Past performance, whether actual or simulated, is not indicative of future results. Safepine LLC does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of any data or results produced by the Products.
You assume all risks associated with your use of the Products, including any decision to interpret or act upon simulated or analytical outputs. Safepine has no obligation to update any information or outputs and assumes no liability for trading losses or financial damages arising from the use of this software.
Entity Classification: “Safepine” (“Safepine,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) refers to Safepine LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Safepine is strictly a software development company that builds and licenses locally installed, offline-first tools for research, simulation, data analysis, and general systems design. Safepine LLC is not a financial institution, broker-dealer, registered investment adviser, commodity trading advisor, or financial service provider.
These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) constitute a binding agreement between you and Safepine LLC. By accessing our websites (including safepine.co), downloading, installing, or using the Products, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.
Definition of "Products": The term "Products" collectively refers to all software, tools, documentation, source code repositories, and related materials provided by Safepine, including but not limited to Safepine Studio and Safepine OS. All Products are provided strictly for research, audit, and educational purposes.
User Responsibility: Any attempt to integrate the Products with external infrastructure to facilitate live trading, or to rely on simulation outcomes for actual financial decisions, is strictly outside the scope of the Products and remains the sole responsibility of the user. Safepine LLC assumes no liability for any losses, damages, or regulatory violations arising from such unauthorized use.
License Grant: Access to Safepine Studio via Steam or other distributors grants a non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual license for personal, non-commercial research and education only. Safepine OS source code is provided separately under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) for audit and educational purposes. Commercial use, third-party management, or integration into live trading infrastructure is strictly prohibited under all licenses.
Nature of Transaction: Any payment made to Safepine (typically via Steam) is solely for the grant of a software license to use Safepine Studio as a simulation tool. Payments are never for investment advice, financial returns, trading signals, portfolio management, or any other financial service. You are purchasing a software tool, not a financial outcome or a managed service.
License Hierarchy: In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the specific license file included with Safepine OS or the End User License Agreement (EULA) presented during the installation of Safepine Studio, the specific license or EULA shall govern your rights to use that specific component.
Safepine LLC maintains strict product boundaries to ensure the Software remains within the non-regulated scope described in these Terms. Safepine expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, not to develop, release, or support any feature that could reasonably be interpreted as:
Right to Modify: Safepine may modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature at any time without notice if Safepine determines such action is necessary for legal, regulatory, security, or policy reasons, or to maintain the Software's character as a simulation-only tool.
Conservative Development Policy: It is Safepine's established policy to refrain from releasing any feature where its regulatory status is ambiguous. This conservative approach is fundamental to Safepine's operational model and ensures continued compliance with applicable laws.
Safepine's product development is guided by core design principles that emphasize: (a) a conservative product scope strictly limited to simulation and research; (b) a clear architectural and operational separation from regulated financial activities; and (c) a preference for local, offline-first, and user-controlled tools.
No Contractual Obligation: These principles describe Safepine's current philosophy and operational approach. They are not contractual obligations or warranties. Safepine reserves the right to evolve its products and strategies as needed, provided such changes remain within the bounds of these Terms and applicable law.
"As Is" Basis: The Products are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. This includes, but is not limited to, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, title, or that the Products will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that simulation results will be accurate or indicative of actual market performance.
Limitation of Liability: To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law (including Delaware law and the laws of the jurisdiction where you reside), Safepine LLC, its owner, employees, and contractors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or trading losses, arising out of or relating to your use of or inability to use the Products. This limitation applies regardless of whether the Products are accessed via direct license, third-party distribution platforms (including but not limited to Steam), or any other means, and even if Safepine has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Liability Cap: Safepine LLC's total aggregate liability for any claims arising out of or relating to the Products shall not exceed the amount you actually paid to acquire the applicable Products in the twelve-month period preceding the event giving rise to the claim (whether paid directly to Safepine LLC or through an authorized distributor like Valve Corporation/Steam).
Carve-Out: The limitations in this section shall not apply to liability arising from Safepine LLC's intentional fraud, to the extent such liability cannot be limited under applicable law.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective date" at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Products after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must immediately stop using the Products and uninstall the Products.
Governing Law: These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to the Products shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
Exclusive Jurisdiction: Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Products shall be instituted exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts. This jurisdiction clause applies regardless of the location of Safepine's infrastructure, servers, or hosting providers, or the user's place of residence.
International Users: If you are accessing the Products from outside the United States, you acknowledge that while Delaware law governs the contractual relationship, mandatory local laws of your residence (e.g., consumer protection statutes) may apply to certain non-waivable rights.
Safepine LLC adheres to a strict data minimization policy. We do not offer user accounts, and we do not collect usernames, email addresses, passwords, or any other personal identifiers from visitors to this website.
No Personal Data Collection: You can browse safepine.co without providing any personal information. We do not sell, share, or profile user data for advertising purposes.
Technical Logs (IP Addresses): Our hosting provider automatically collects limited technical information (IP address, browser type, timestamp) in server logs solely for security, abuse prevention, and operational diagnostics. This data is never used for profiling, marketing, or behavioral tracking.
Local-First Software: Safepine Studio is an offline-first application. All your simulations, datasets, models, and research data remain exclusively on your local machine. Safepine LLC has no access to, and does not collect, any data generated within the software.
Third-Party Distributors: When you purchase Safepine Studio through third-party platforms such as Steam, the distributor may collect payment, account, and transaction data in accordance with its own privacy policy. Safepine LLC does not control, access, or process data collected by third-party distributors.
Because we do not collect personal data or maintain user accounts, rights such as "access," "portability," or "account deletion" are not applicable. However, if you believe your IP address has been logged in error or wish to request information about our minimal server logs, you may contact us at contact@safepine.co.
Children's Privacy: The Products are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors under 18. Our content is intended for general research and educational purposes.
