Legal
Terms of Service
Effective date: 6 August 2026
These terms govern your use of the Blueprint Trading website and general information. Specific professional services are also subject to the written agreement issued for that engagement.
1. Acceptance of these terms
By accessing this website, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the website. “Blueprint Trading”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Securities Assets Trading Blueprint, trading as Blueprint Trading.
2. Website information
Website content is provided for general information and may be changed, corrected or withdrawn without notice. Although we aim to keep information accurate and current, we do not warrant that all content is complete, error-free or suitable for a particular purpose.
3. Professional services
A website enquiry does not create a client, advisory, employment, partnership or fiduciary relationship. The scope, deliverables, fees, payment terms, timelines, responsibilities, support arrangements and intellectual-property rights for any project will be set out in a separate written quotation, statement of work or service agreement. If those documents conflict with these website terms, the signed service agreement governs the relevant project.
4. Trading and financial risk
Trading involves a substantial risk of financial loss and may not be suitable for everyone. Trading education, market commentary, examples, software, algorithms, bots, expert advisors, backtests, simulations and analytical tools are provided for educational and informational purposes only. They are not personal financial, investment, tax or legal advice, an offer or solicitation, or a recommendation to trade any instrument. Past or simulated performance does not guarantee future results. Market conditions, liquidity, latency, slippage, fees, leverage, data quality, software errors and third-party outages can materially affect outcomes.
5. Automated systems
No automated trading system can guarantee profitability, eliminate risk or operate correctly in every market or technical condition. You are responsible for independently testing any system, using suitable demo or controlled environments, monitoring operation, maintaining secure credentials and connectivity, setting appropriate risk limits, understanding broker or exchange rules, and deciding whether and when to deploy it. You retain sole responsibility for trades, losses, taxes and regulatory compliance.
6. No regulated advice
Unless expressly agreed in writing and lawfully authorised, Blueprint Trading does not act as your financial adviser, broker, portfolio manager, investment intermediary or custodian. You should obtain independent advice from appropriately qualified and authorised professionals before making financial, legal, tax or investment decisions.
7. Acceptable use
You may not misuse the website; attempt unauthorised access; introduce malicious code; interfere with security or availability; scrape or copy content at scale without permission; impersonate another person; submit unlawful, misleading or infringing material; or use our information, services or software in violation of applicable law, platform rules or third-party rights.
8. Intellectual property
The website design, branding, text, graphics, code, methodologies and other materials are owned by or licensed to Blueprint Trading and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may view and make limited personal or internal business use of the website. No content may be reproduced, modified, distributed, sold, reverse engineered or commercially exploited without prior written permission, except where law expressly permits it. Project-specific ownership and licensing are governed by the applicable service agreement.
9. Third-party services and links
The website may link to or rely on third-party platforms such as Formspree, hosting providers, brokers, exchanges, data sources or other services. We do not control and are not responsible for their availability, security, content, terms, pricing or conduct. Your use of a third-party service is governed by that provider's terms and privacy policy.
10. Confidentiality and credentials
Do not send passwords, API secrets, private keys, full payment-card details or unnecessary confidential information through this website. If a project requires protected access, the parties will agree on an appropriate secure method. You are responsible for safeguarding credentials and promptly revoking or rotating them if compromise is suspected.
11. Disclaimer of warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the website and general information are provided “as is” and “as available”, without express or implied warranties of accuracy, availability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, profitability or uninterrupted operation. Nothing in these terms excludes a warranty or consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded.
12. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Blueprint Trading and its personnel will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential loss; loss of profit, revenue, data, opportunity or goodwill; trading loss; or loss caused by reliance on general website content, third-party services or circumstances beyond reasonable control. Any liability arising from a contracted professional service is governed by the applicable written agreement. Nothing excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded, including liability arising from fraud or wilful misconduct.
13. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify Blueprint Trading against third-party claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful misuse of the website, infringement of third-party rights, unauthorised deployment or distribution of deliverables, or breach of these terms.
14. Governing law and jurisdiction
These website terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa, without excluding mandatory rights that apply to an international visitor. Subject to any required consumer or dispute-resolution process, disputes relating to these terms fall within the jurisdiction of the competent South African courts.
15. Changes, severability and waiver
We may update these terms by posting a revised version with a new effective date. Continued use after publication constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of that provision.
