Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of BotFinder, published by Wissem Hadhri — Entrepreneur individuel (EI) — micro-entreprise, régime micro-BNC, 66 avenue des Champs-Élysées, 75008 Paris, France, SIREN 101 759 082 — Registre National des Entreprises (RNE). Using the site means accepting them.

1. What the service is

BotFinder is a catalogue and comparison service for automated trading strategies. It publishes collected data and an evidence-based score, including for strategies run by the publisher itself (see the conflict-of-interest section of the Risk Disclosure). It is not investment advice and not a brokerage — see the Risk Disclosure, which forms part of these terms.

2. Accounts

Some features require an account, created and managed through our authentication provider. During the launch period, accounts are opened by invitation: you may join a waitlist, which creates no obligation on either side, and we invite people in the order and pace we choose. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for activity carried out from your account. One account is for one person. The service is reserved for adults.

Listings you submit. A signed-in user may submit a bot they publish or are authorised to list. You warrant that you hold the necessary rights and that what you declare is accurate. Submissions are reviewed before publication; we may refuse them, adjust their format, or remove them at any time. Published figures are shown as declared by the publisher and not verified, and you grant us a free, non-exclusive licence to display the submitted content on BotFinder for as long as the listing is online.

3. Plans, prices and billing

Current plans and prices are shown on the Pricing page. Paid plans are billed monthly or annually and renew automatically at the end of each period unless cancelled beforehand. Payment is processed by Stripe; we never receive or store your card details.

Prices are net amounts: VAT is not charged, the publisher being under the French VAT exemption scheme (non applicable — art. 293 B du CGI (franchise en base de TVA)).

4. Right of withdrawal

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, you have fourteen (14) days from the day the subscription is concluded to withdraw from it, without giving any reason and without penalty.

Access to the paid features is opened immediately on payment. By completing checkout you expressly request that the service begin during the withdrawal period, and you acknowledge that you will owe an amount in proportion to what has been supplied up to the moment you withdraw. Because a subscription is supplied continuously rather than delivered once, exercising the right within the fourteen days entitles you to a refund of the balance of the period already paid for, less that proportion.

To withdraw, send an unambiguous statement to contact@botfinder.h2wi.fr before the fourteen days expire. You may use the model withdrawal form annexed to Directive 2011/83/EU, but you are not required to. We will refund what is due within fourteen days of receiving your statement, using the payment method you used, at no cost to you.

Renewals are a continuation of the same contract, not new distance contracts: the withdrawal period runs from the initial subscription.

The free plan involves no payment and no withdrawal right, since there is nothing to withdraw from.

5. Cancellation and suspension

You can cancel at any time from Manage billing. Cancelling stops the next renewal; access continues until the end of the period you have already paid for, and that period is not refunded pro rata. This is distinct from the right of withdrawal in section 4, which applies only within fourteen days of the initial subscription and does give rise to a proportional refund.

We may suspend an account for non-payment. In the event of a serious or manifest breach of these terms — in particular fraud, impersonation or unlawful use — we may suspend or terminate the account immediately and without notice, with no refund due, save where mandatory law provides otherwise.

6. Acceptable use

You may not:

• scrape the catalogue in bulk, resell or redistribute our data;
• circumvent plan limits, authentication or any technical limitation of the service;
• use the service to mislead others about a strategy’s performance;
• present our data as an endorsement, a guarantee or a recommendation.

7. Third-party content

Strategy vendors, brokers and proprietary trading firms are independent third parties. Data about them comes from public sources and from the vendors themselves; we present it with its origin and its verification status, and we do not warrant its accuracy. Any dealings with them are strictly between you and them.

To report or correct a listing, write to contact@botfinder.h2wi.fr with the URL concerned.

8. Availability

We aim to keep BotFinder available continuously, but we give no service-level guarantee. Access may be interrupted for maintenance, for a technical failure, or because a third party we depend on is itself unavailable.

The catalogue depends on public sources that may change, restrict access or disappear. A listing may therefore become stale or be removed without notice. Each listing shows the date it was last collected so you can judge its age yourself.

9. Liability

BotFinder is an information service. We are liable for the service we provide — publishing collected data with its source, its date and its evidence grade. We are not liable for the trading decisions you take, for the performance of any strategy, or for losses arising from trading.

We are not liable for the accuracy of statements made by a third-party vendor that we have recorded and labelled as unconfirmed, nor for that vendor’s conduct towards you.

Our aggregate liability for any claim arising from a paid plan is limited to the amount you paid us over the twelve months preceding the event. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded — in particular liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, and, for consumers, liability arising under mandatory consumer protection law.

10. Personal data

Processing is described in the Privacy Policy.

11. Changes

We may amend these terms. Any change is published on this page with the date at the top updated. Material changes affecting a paid plan are notified before they take effect, and you may cancel if you do not accept them.

12. Language

These terms are published in French and in English. In the event of a discrepancy, the French version prevails for consumers resident in France.

13. Governing law

French law. Failing an amicable resolution, the French courts have jurisdiction, subject to the mandatory protective rules applicable to consumers, who remain free to bring proceedings before the court of their place of residence. Consumers may also use a consumer mediator free of charge.
