Terms of Use

1. About these Terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and LayTrader (laytrader.com), Türkiye ("we", "us"), the operator of LayTrader. They apply to the LayTrader website and web app (laytrader.com and its subdomains, including beta.laytrader.com), the e-mails we send and the Telegram bot @Laytrader_bot (together, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you accept these Terms. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data.

2. What LayTrader does - and what it does not do

• LayTrader shows information derived from the positions that lead traders publicly display on Binance's copy-trading pages ("signals"), and runs a simulated ("paper") copy of the traders you choose to follow.
• Everything is simulated. Balances, positions, profits and losses in your LayTrader account are virtual. No real money is used, no orders are sent to any exchange, and we never ask for your exchange API keys or for any payment.
• LayTrader is not a broker, exchange, investment adviser, asset manager or bank. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Binance or by any trader shown.
• The Service is a free beta. Features, limits (for example, the free beta plan lets you follow up to 3 traders) and availability may change, and the Service may be interrupted or discontinued at any time.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, and old enough to enter into a binding contract where you live, to create an account. You must not use the Service where doing so is unlawful for you. If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 18, we will close it.

4. Your account

• Use a valid e-mail address that you control. One account per person.
• Keep your password secret. You are responsible for activity under your account. Tell us at info@laytrader.com if you think someone else has accessed it.
• You can export your data or delete your account at any time in your account settings.

5. Not investment advice

Nothing in the Service - including trader lists, scores, rankings, follower counts, signals, notifications and simulated results - is investment, financial, legal or tax advice, a personal recommendation, or an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any asset. It is general information and is not tailored to you. Every decision you make, including any real trade you place elsewhere, is your own decision and your own responsibility.

6. Simulated results and risk

Simulated results are not real trading results. They do not include trading fees, funding payments, slippage or liquidation, they may not reflect other real-world factors such as order execution, liquidity or delays, and they are calculated from third-party data that may be late or incomplete. A trader's past or simulated performance does not indicate future results. Trading crypto-assets, especially with leverage, is highly risky and can lead to the loss of all the money you invest. See our Risk Disclaimer.

7. Third-party data

The Service relies on data published by third parties, mainly Binance. We do not control this data and do not guarantee that it is accurate, complete, timely or available. Traders can change, hide or stop sharing positions; data can be delayed, missing or wrong; and signals or notifications (e-mail, Telegram, in-app) may arrive late or not at all. Do not rely on the Service for time-critical decisions. Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience only; their own terms and policies apply.

8. Acceptable use

You must not:

• scrape, crawl or systematically download data from the Service, or copy, resell or republish its data or content, except for your own personal, non-commercial use;
• access the Service with bots or other automated means, or try to get around rate limits, plan limits or a suspension (for example by creating several accounts);
• share your account or sell access to it;
• probe or test the security of the Service, bypass access controls, or disrupt or overload the Service (including with malware);
• use the Service for anything unlawful, fraudulent or abusive, including harassing any person (traders shown included) or manipulating markets;
• present simulated results as real trading results, or suggest that we endorse you or your products;
• reverse engineer the Service, except where the law allows it.

If you find a security issue, please report it to info@laytrader.com instead of exploiting it.

9. Suspension and termination

We may suspend, limit or close your account if you break these Terms, if the law requires it, if it is needed to protect the Service or other users, or if we discontinue the Service. Where reasonable we will tell you why and give you a chance to respond, unless that would be unlawful or harm security. You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. Sections 5, 6, 7, 11, 12 and 14 continue to apply after your account ends.

10. Intellectual property

The Service, its software, design and texts belong to us or our licensors (third-party data and trader names belong to their owners). We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable right to use the Service for your own non-commercial purposes under these Terms. If you send us feedback, we may use it freely.

11. No warranty

The Service is provided free of charge "as is" and "as available". To the extent permitted by law, we give no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including about accuracy, availability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.

12. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law:

• we are not liable for trading or investment losses, lost profits, lost data, or any indirect or consequential loss resulting from your use of, or reliance on, the Service;
• our total liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the total fees you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the claim. During the free beta you pay no fees, so this amount may be zero.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law (for example for fraud, gross negligence, wilful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence), or your mandatory rights as a consumer.

13. Changes to the Service and to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We will tell you about a material change by e-mail or in the app at least 30 days before it applies, unless the law or security requires a faster change. If you do not agree, you can delete your account before the change applies; using the Service after that date means you accept the new Terms. The "Last updated" date shows the current version.

14. Governing law and disputes

Governing law and jurisdiction: the laws of the Republic of Türkiye; the courts and enforcement offices of the Republic of Türkiye have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of your country of residence (in Türkiye, the Consumer Protection Law No. 6502) and may also apply to consumer arbitration committees or bring a claim in your local courts where the law allows.

15. General

If any part of these Terms is found invalid, the rest stays in force. Not enforcing a right does not waive it. We may transfer these Terms to a successor operator of the Service and will tell you if we do. These Terms are available in several languages. The English and Turkish versions are the authoritative versions; if a translation conflicts with them, they prevail. To the extent permitted by law, if the English and Turkish versions conflict, the Turkish version prevails for users resident in Türkiye and the English version prevails for everyone else.
