Terms of Service
Last updated: March 6, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing, browsing, or using MarketMood ("the Service", "the Platform"), operated by MarketMood ("we", "us", "our", "the Company"), you ("User", "you", "your") acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms", "Agreement") in their entirety. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and MarketMood.
If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, you must immediately cease all use of the Service. Your continued access to or use of the Service following the posting of any changes to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
These Terms apply to all users of the Service, including without limitation users who are browsers, visitors, registered users, subscribers, contributors, or otherwise.
2. Modifications to Terms
MarketMood reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify, amend, supplement, or replace these Terms at any time and from time to time, with or without prior notice. Any modifications shall become effective immediately upon posting the revised Terms on the Platform, unless otherwise stated. The "Last updated" date at the top of these Terms indicates when the most recent revisions were made.
Where we make changes that we consider material, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you, which may include, but is not limited to: (a) posting a prominent notice on the Platform; (b) sending a notification to the email address associated with your account; or (c) displaying an in-app banner or alert upon your next login. However, the determination of what constitutes a "material" change is at our sole discretion, and our failure to provide notice shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the revised Terms.
It is your sole responsibility to review these Terms periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Service after the posting of any modified Terms — whether or not you have received or reviewed such notice — constitutes your binding acceptance of such modified Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using the Service.
No amendment or modification of these Terms by you shall be effective unless expressly agreed to in writing by an authorized representative of MarketMood. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a continuing waiver of such provision or a waiver of any other provision.

4. NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE — CRITICAL DISCLAIMER
THE SERVICE DOES NOT PROVIDE FINANCIAL, INVESTMENT, TAX, LEGAL, OR TRADING ADVICE OF ANY KIND. ALL CONTENT, DATA, ANALYSIS, NARRATIVES, PLAYBOOKS, TRADE IDEAS, FORECASTS, PROBABILITIES, SIGNALSCORES, RECOMMENDATIONS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO "STRONG BUY", "BUY", "HOLD", "SELL", "STRONG SELL"), SENTIMENT SCORES, VIRTUAL PORTFOLIO RETURNS, ACCURACY METRICS, AND ALL OTHER AI-GENERATED OR ALGORITHMICALLY COMPUTED OUTPUT PRESENTED ON THE PLATFORM ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.
- MarketMood is not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, financial analyst, or financial planner. We are not licensed, registered, or regulated by any financial regulatory authority including, but not limited to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), or any equivalent body in any jurisdiction.
- No content on the Platform — including forecasts, probabilities, SignalScores, recommendations, AI Spotlight analyses, daily digests, or any other output — constitutes a recommendation, solicitation, or offer to buy, sell, hold, or trade any security, financial product, derivative, cryptocurrency, or other financial instrument.
- "Trade ideas", "playbooks", directional labels ("LONG", "SHORT", "NEUTRAL"), "recommendations" ("Strong Buy", "Buy", etc.), confidence ratings, probability percentages, and any other output suggesting a trading position or market direction are entirely algorithmic and AI-generated. They do not reflect the opinion of any human analyst and must not be interpreted as personal investment recommendations.
- Virtual portfolios, simulated returns, and performance metrics displayed on the Platform are hypothetical and do not represent actual trading. Virtual portfolio performance does not account for commissions, slippage, taxes, market impact, or other costs that would reduce actual returns.
- You should always consult with a qualified, licensed financial professional before making any investment or trading decisions. Reliance on any information provided by the Service is solely at your own risk.
- Past performance of any security, sector, market indicator, or the Service's own forecast accuracy is not indicative of future results. Historical accuracy metrics reflect past conditions that may not recur.

7. Assumption of Risk
You expressly acknowledge and agree that trading and investing in financial markets involves substantial risk of loss, including the potential loss of your entire invested capital.

You assume full responsibility for all trading and investment decisions you make, regardless of whether such decisions were influenced by, correlated with, or based on information obtained through the Service. MarketMood shall bear no responsibility whatsoever for any financial outcomes — whether gains or losses — resulting from your actions. The display of forecast accuracy, historical performance, or track record data on the Platform does not constitute any guarantee, warranty, or promise of future accuracy or performance.
8. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer
Portions of the Service utilize artificial intelligence and machine learning models (including but not limited to models provided by Anthropic, OpenAI, and other third-party providers) to generate narratives, analysis, forecasts, probability estimates, trade ideas, focused analyses, daily digests, chat responses, and other content. You acknowledge and agree that:
- AI-generated content may contain errors, hallucinations, inaccuracies, outdated information, biases, or misleading conclusions
- AI models may produce outputs that appear confident or authoritative but are factually incorrect or analytically flawed
- AI models are probabilistic in nature and their outputs may vary, be inconsistent, or change without notice
- The Company makes no representations regarding the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or fitness for any purpose of any AI-generated content
- You must independently verify all information before relying on it for any purpose, including but not limited to financial decisions
- The self-improvement feedback loop, while designed to improve accuracy over time, does not guarantee improved performance and may not prevent errors
9. Data Accuracy and Third-Party Sources
Market data displayed on the Platform is sourced from third-party providers including but not limited to Finnhub, Yahoo Finance, CNN, and other data aggregators. Social sentiment data is sourced from third-party platforms including but not limited to Reddit. We do not guarantee the accuracy, timeliness, completeness, or reliability of any third-party data. Data may be delayed, incomplete, or contain errors. Sentiment scores, mood scores, and weather classifications are calculated algorithmically and represent mathematical computations, not expert opinions. Probability estimates and forecasts are outputs of statistical models and AI inference, not guarantees or predictions of actual outcomes. Discrepancies between our data and actual market conditions may occur at any time without notice.
