Terms and conditions.

Summary.

The box above summarises everything that matters. The rest of this page is the full version, with the legal detail. If anything is unclear, write to us at info@traderpayout.com.

Acceptance.

By accessing TraderPayout (the "site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with any part of them, please close the page and do not use the site. Your continued use of the site after we update these terms constitutes acceptance of the new version.

These terms operate alongside our Privacy Policy. Together, they form the complete agreement between you and us regarding your use of the site.

Who we are.

This site is operated by TraderPayout, an editorial publication registered in Qatar. Throughout these terms, "TraderPayout", "we", "us" and "our" refer to that entity. "You" and "your" refer to you, the user of the site.

You can reach us for any matter related to these terms at info@traderpayout.com.

Eligibility.

You must be at least 18 years old to use this site. Trading carries substantial financial risk and is not appropriate for minors. By using TraderPayout, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age.

If we discover that a user is under 18, we reserve the right to terminate their access immediately and delete any personal data they have provided. Parents or guardians who believe their child has used the site can contact us at info@traderpayout.com to request removal.

You also represent that you are legally permitted to access financial content under the laws of your jurisdiction. Some content on this site may not be appropriate or legal to consume in certain countries; you are responsible for ensuring your own compliance.

Not financial advice.

Specifically:

• We are not registered investment advisors, brokers, or licensed financial professionals in any jurisdiction.
• Editorial verdicts on prop firms reflect our independent opinion based on public information. They are not a recommendation to fund or not fund any specific firm.
• Our tools (position sizing calculator, drawdown calculator, etc.) are educational instruments. Their output is illustrative only and depends entirely on the inputs you provide.
• Market data displayed on the site is delayed, indicative, and provided for context only. Never use it to make a trading decision.
• Before making any financial decision, consult a licensed advisor in your own jurisdiction.

Risk warning.

Trading futures, foreign exchange, options, equities, cryptocurrencies and other financial instruments — including through proprietary trading firm accounts — involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. You may lose more than your initial deposit.

Past performance, payout proofs published in our archive, and any historical data referenced on this site are not indicative of future results. The performance of traders featured in our content reflects their individual outcomes and is not representative of typical results.

The vast majority of traders attempting prop firm evaluations do not pass them, and a significant portion of those who pass do not receive sustained payouts. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose entirely. If you have any doubt about your capacity to bear trading losses, do not trade.

Affiliate disclosure.

Some links on TraderPayout are affiliate links, including links to Apex Trader Funding and a subset of other firms in the Prop Firm Lab. If you click an affiliate link and subsequently sign up for the firm's service, we may receive a commission. Affiliate status is disclosed in the footer of every page, with full details in our editorial commitments.

Our affiliate relationships never determine our editorial coverage, our verdicts, our rankings, or our methodology. We have refused, and will continue to refuse, paid placements, sponsored editorial, and any arrangement that compromises our independence.

Acceptable use.

You agree to use the site for lawful purposes only. You will not:

• Scrape or harvest content at scale without our written permission. Manual reading and ordinary browsing are fine. Automated mass extraction is not.
• Republish substantial portions of our content without attribution and a link back to the source. Short quotes with credit are fine; full copies are not.
• Train commercial AI models on our content at scale without a licence.
• Disrupt the site, probe for vulnerabilities, attempt to bypass access controls, or interfere with other users' access.
• Submit false information through the contact form, the newsletter signup, or any other channel — including fabricated payout proofs, fake tips, or misleading statements.
• Impersonate another person or claim a connection to TraderPayout that does not exist.
• Use the site or our content to harass, defame, or harm any individual, firm, or other party.
• Use our brand, logo, or trade name in your own materials in a way that suggests endorsement, without our written permission.

For responsible disclosure of security issues, please email info@traderpayout.com before any public disclosure. We will respond promptly and we will not pursue good-faith security research.

Intellectual property.

Unless otherwise stated, all content on TraderPayout — including articles, tools, design, code, photographs, illustrations, and the TraderPayout brand — is the intellectual property of TraderPayout or its licensors, and is protected by copyright and related rights worldwide.

You are welcome to:

• Quote short excerpts of our articles with clear attribution and a link back to the source.
• Share our content on social media using normal sharing mechanisms.
• Link to any page on the site without prior permission.
• Use the calculators and interactive tools for your own personal, non-commercial purposes.

You may not:

• Republish full articles on another website, in a newsletter, or in any commercial product.
• Sell our content or any derivative of it.
• Use our brand or trade dress in a way that could suggest endorsement.
• Modify or remove copyright notices, watermarks, or attribution from our content.

If you submit content to us (a tip, a correction, a comment, a contact form message), you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual licence to use that submission for the purposes of running the site and producing our editorial. We will not publish your name or personal details unless you explicitly agree.

Third-party content.

The site contains links to third-party websites (prop firm sites, source posts on social media, broker pages, news outlets, and others). Those sites are governed by their own terms and privacy policies, which we do not control. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, security, or practices of third-party sites. A link from TraderPayout is not an endorsement.

Our archive references publicly-posted user content from social platforms. Copyright in that content remains with its respective authors. If you are the author of a referenced post and you wish your reference removed from our archive, contact us at info@traderpayout.com with the link and we will action it promptly.

No warranties.

The site and all its content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, whether express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties including, without limitation:

• Implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
• Warranties that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses.
• Warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any content, including payout proofs and market data.
• Warranties regarding the results obtained from using the site or its tools.

Despite our verification process for editorial content, we do not warrant that information published on the site is accurate or current at any given moment. Always verify critical information independently before acting on it.

Limitation of liability.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall TraderPayout, its operators, contributors, or affiliates be liable for any:

• Direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages.
• Trading losses, lost profits, lost data, lost opportunities, or lost revenue.
• Damages arising from your reliance on any content on the site.
• Damages arising from your inability to access the site or any of its tools.
• Damages arising from your interaction with any third-party site linked from ours.

This limitation applies whether the claim is based on contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, and whether or not we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including liability for fraud, gross negligence, or personal injury caused by negligence.

Indemnification.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TraderPayout and its operators from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or related to:

• Your use of the site or any of its content.
• Your violation of these terms.
• Your violation of any third-party right, including intellectual property, privacy, or contractual rights.
• Any content you submit to the site that infringes another party's rights.

Changes & termination.

We may update these terms from time to time. The current version is always available at this URL with the effective date and version number at the top. For material changes, we will:

• Update the "Effective" date and bump the version number at the top of this page.
• Notify newsletter subscribers by email before the new version takes effect.
• Display a notice on the home page for at least 14 days following the change.

Your continued use of the site after a material change constitutes acceptance of the new terms. If you do not agree with a change, your remedy is to stop using the site.

We may suspend or discontinue any part of the site at any time, with or without notice, including the newsletter, archives, or specific tools. We may also restrict or terminate access for any user who, in our reasonable judgment, breaches these terms. Such termination does not entitle you to compensation.

Governing law & dispute resolution.

These terms are governed by the laws of Qatar, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute arising from or in connection with these terms or your use of the site shall be brought before the competent courts of Doha, Qatar.

Before initiating any formal dispute, we ask that you contact us at info@traderpayout.com so we can attempt to resolve the matter directly. Most disputes can be resolved this way, faster and at no cost to either party.
