Terms of Service

1. Who we are

Banger (“Banger”, “we”, “us”) is operated by HyperSports-equivalent placeholder entity, a Delaware-domiciled company. We provide software infrastructure for running automated investing strategies against third-party trading venues. We are not a broker-dealer, an investment adviser, a commodity trading advisor, or a custodian, and we never take custody of your funds, assets, or venue API keys plaintext.

2. What Banger does and does not do

Banger does: let you author, simulate, and run Python-based trading strategies you supply, against venues you have independently established accounts with (Polymarket, Kalshi, etc.). We provide the runtime, the venue connectors, paper-trading simulation, and observability.

Banger does not: provide investment advice; recommend trades; manage assets on your behalf; guarantee performance, profit, or loss; act as a fiduciary; offer financial planning; or take any position with respect to the legality of prediction markets, sports event contracts, or any specific trading activity in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for your own compliance.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) and legally permitted to use the underlying venues you connect. By using Banger, you represent that you meet these requirements and that your use of the service does not violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party agreement.

4. Your account and credentials

You are responsible for the security of your Banger account credentials and any API keys, private keys, or other credentials you store with us. We encrypt venue credentials at rest using envelope-encryption with per-user derived keys; we never log or display the plaintext beyond your own dashboard. You are responsible for revoking and rotating compromised credentials promptly.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use Banger to:

• Engage in market manipulation, wash trading, spoofing, or any other illegal trading activity.
• Operate against the terms of service of any third-party venue.
• Trade on material non-public information.
• Reverse-engineer, copy, or compete with Banger’s service.
• Abuse our infrastructure (excessive API calls, denial-of-service patterns, scraping).
• Misrepresent yourself, impersonate another user, or use Banger to commit fraud.

6. Trading risk acknowledgment

Trading prediction markets, event contracts, derivatives, and related instruments involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all participants. Past performance, including backtested or paper-traded performance shown in Banger, is not indicative of future results. You may lose all of your invested capital, and in the case of leveraged or derivative instruments, more. You acknowledge that you trade entirely at your own risk.

7. Service availability

Banger is provided on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis. We do not guarantee uptime, latency, order execution, accuracy of market data, or absence of bugs. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service at any time without prior notice during the v0 period of the product.

8. Subscriptions and billing

Paid subscription tiers (Pro, Power) are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis through Stripe. Live-strategy add-ons and metered MCP usage are billed in arrears at the end of each billing period. By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges to your payment method. Pricing changes will be communicated at least 30 days in advance. See our Refund Policy for details on cancellation and refunds.

9. Intellectual property

The strategy code you upload remains yours. By marking a strategy public in our marketplace, you grant other Banger users a non-exclusive license to clone, modify, and use that code on the Banger platform. Banger’s software, brand, and content are ours; you may not copy, modify, or redistribute them outside the terms of any license we explicitly grant.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Banger and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages, including loss of profits, trading losses, lost opportunity, lost data, or business interruption, arising from or related to your use of Banger. Our aggregate liability for any claim shall not exceed the greater of US$100 or the amount you paid Banger in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Banger, its operators, officers, and agents from any claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from your trading activity, your violation of these terms, your violation of any third-party venue’s terms, or your violation of any law.

12. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time via the dashboard. We may terminate or suspend your account immediately for breach of these terms, abuse of the service, suspected illegal activity, or non-payment. Upon termination, your strategies and deployment history will be retained for 30 days then permanently deleted, unless we are required to retain them for legal or regulatory reasons.

13. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising from these terms or your use of Banger shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration in Wilmington, Delaware, under the rules of JAMS. You waive any right to participate in a class action against Banger.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email and posted here at least 14 days before taking effect. Your continued use of Banger after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
