Terms of service
By creating an account you agree to these terms and to the risk disclosure.
The service
Kestrel provides market analysis, trade signals and, for Auto-Trade members once enabled, automated order execution on the member's own exchange account through an API key the member provides. We never hold member funds.
Subscriptions and payments
Plans are prepaid for 1, 3 or 12 months and paid in cryptocurrency (USDT on the TRON/TRC20 network, or Binance Pay where offered); access starts automatically once the payment is confirmed. Send the exact amount shown on your invoice: crypto sent to a wrong address or network cannot be recovered. Subscriptions do not renew automatically. Auto-Trade is licensed per exchange: each connected exchange needs its own Auto-Trade subscription. Unless required by law, payments are non-refundable once access has been granted.
Founding Member price
While founding seats remain, the published founding price applies. A member who pays an invoice at the founding price becomes a Founding Member and keeps that monthly price for the same plan for as long as their account exists, including after the offer closes and if regular prices change. 3-month and 12-month plans are priced from the member's monthly price with the published discount. Founding status is personal and cannot be transferred.
Rough Month Credit
If the engine's closed trades in a calendar month (UTC) add up to a loss measured in R (risk units), every member who had a paid subscription for at least 15 days of that month receives a credit of the published percentage (currently 50%) of their monthly price, per plan and exchange. It is added automatically in the first days of the next month and taken off the member's next payment (at least 1 USDT is always paid; any remainder carries over). Credits have no cash value, cannot be withdrawn, refunded or transferred, and are not a promise of profit. The result is the engine's own published trades, not the results in your exchange account.
No Trades, No Charge guarantee
If the engine takes fewer than the published minimum number of trades (currently 3) during a paid monthly subscription period, we add free days (currently 30) to that plan, directly after the period, at no cost. It is checked automatically when each paid period ends; periods from free trials, admin credits or earlier guarantee periods do not qualify. The count uses the engine's own live trades, the same ones published as signals, not the trades or results in your exchange account. The guarantee is not a promise of profit or of any particular number of trades, and it cannot be exchanged for cash or a refund. We may change the minimum, the free days or withdraw the guarantee for future periods with notice; periods already paid keep the terms that applied when they were bought.
Free trial
New members may receive a free trial of the Signals plan (currently 2 days), which starts when the email address of the account is confirmed. The trial is limited to one per person: creating additional accounts to obtain further trials is prohibited, and we may end trials or suspend accounts that abuse them. A trial does not include Auto-Trade and never converts into a paid plan automatically; if you subscribe during the trial, your paid period begins when the trial ends. We may change the length of the trial or withdraw the offer at any time for new sign-ups.
Your responsibilities
You must be of legal age and permitted to trade derivatives in your country. You are responsible for your exchange account, your API keys (which must never have withdrawal permission), your position sizes and your taxes.
Acceptable use
You may not resell, redistribute or publicly share signals, or attempt to access other members' data or the platform's systems. We may suspend accounts that break these rules.
Refer & earn program
Members can share a personal referral link. When a new member who signed up through that link completes their first paid subscription, the referrer earns a commission (currently 15% of that first payment). Only the first payment of each referred member qualifies. Self-referrals, fake or duplicate accounts, spam, and misleading promotion (including promising profits) are prohibited and void all commissions. Commissions are paid in USDT (TRC20) on request once the minimum payout is reached. We may change or end the program with notice; earned, valid commissions remain payable.
Limitation of liability
The service is provided "as is". To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for trading losses, missed trades, exchange or network outages, or indirect damages.
Changes
We may update these terms and the plans. Material changes will be announced in the member dashboard.
