Terms and Conditions

Last updated 18 July 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using the CAUTILYA CAPITAL Algorithmic Trading Platform ("Service", "we", "us", or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you disagree with any part of the terms, you may not access the Service. The Service is provided solely as a software tool for order routing and algorithmic strategy deployment.

2. No Financial Advice

CAUTILYA CAPITAL is strictly a technology and software platform. We are not a registered Investment Adviser, Research Analyst, or Broker-Dealer under SEBI regulations. None of the tools, indicators, strategies, or features provided by the platform should be construed as investment, financial, or trading advice. You are solely responsible for evaluating the merits and risks associated with the use of any strategy or information.

3. User Responsibilities & API Usage

  • You are entirely responsible for the confidentiality of your broker API credentials. CAUTILYA CAPITAL does not store your broker passwords directly; we utilize secure access tokens provided by your broker.
  • You agree to thoroughly backtest and paper-trade any strategy before deploying it in a live market environment.
  • You acknowledge that automated trading carries a high level of risk and may result in the loss of your entire capital.
  • You are responsible for ensuring that your algorithmic trading activities comply with all applicable local laws, exchange rules, and your broker's specific terms of service.

4. Backtesting and Hypothetical Performance

CAUTILYA CAPITAL provides tools for backtesting and simulating trading strategies (such as AutoTune and Backtest Lab). You explicitly agree and understand that:

  • Backtest results do NOT guarantee future profits. Past performance of any trading system is not indicative of future results.
  • Simulated performance results have inherent limitations and do not represent actual trading. No representation is being made that any account will achieve profits or losses similar to those shown in a backtest.
  • Market conditions, liquidity, slippage, and API latency in a live environment may severely impact the actual profitability of a strategy compared to its simulated results.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CAUTILYA CAPITAL shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from:

  • Your access to or use of or inability to access or use the Service;
  • Any downtime, latency, or API failure originating from your broker, the exchange, or our platform;
  • Slippage, order execution delays, or unexpected behavior of your customized trading strategies;
  • Any unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content.

5. Intellectual Property

The platform, its original content, features, and functionality are owned by CAUTILYA CAPITAL and are protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws. The intellectual property of the trading strategies you create and input into the platform remains entirely yours.

6. Modification of Terms

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will try to provide at least 30 days' notice prior to any new terms taking effect.
