Terms of Use

Pre-launch status

These terms are a product-control draft, not a final customer agreement. Jockey is not publicly deployed and real-money execution is disabled. The operating legal entity, governing law, dispute process, and required regulatory registrations must be approved by licensed counsel before anyone is asked to accept these terms or use live execution.

Who may use Jockey

• You must be at least 21, legally capable of contracting, and permitted to use every connected venue and contract from your actual location.
• You may connect only accounts that you own and control, or accounts for which you have documented legal authority. You remain responsible for KYC, tax, location, suitability, funding, and venue requirements.
• You may not use Jockey for another person, pooled funds, managed accounts, or multi-tenant trading unless Jockey has separately approved that use in writing after legal review.

Venue eligibility and changing law

A venue or contract appearing in Jockey does not mean that it is lawful, regulated, licensed, or available for you. Eligibility can differ by venue, product, account type, age, identity, citizenship, residency, physical location, and changes in law or venue rules.

• Use only a venue that has independently accepted your account and only while you are physically present in an eligible location.
• Jockey may block a route more broadly than law or a venue requires and may do so without deciding the legal status of the venue or contract.
• If federal, state, tribal, local, or venue requirements conflict or are uncertain, Jockey may refuse service until the question is resolved by the venue or qualified counsel.

What Jockey does

Jockey is software that prepares, routes, records, and reconciles instructions for accounts you already hold. Jockey is not a prediction market, sportsbook, exchange, clearinghouse, custodian, bank, investment adviser, broker, futures commission merchant, commodity trading adviser, or fiduciary. A venue—not Jockey—holds funds, accepts or rejects orders, settles contracts, and controls withdrawals.

• Venue agreements and official contract rules control over Jockey displays.
• Jockey does not provide picks, personalized investment advice, tax advice, or legal advice.
• No quote, probability, route, receipt, balance, P&L figure, or automated output is a promise of accuracy, availability, profit, or execution.

Your agents and instructions

You are responsible for every human or software agent that uses an access code issued under your authority. You must apply least-privilege access, protect access codes, review proposed trades, and revoke access promptly when authority changes. Jockey may rely on an authenticated instruction within its recorded scope, limits, and approval state, but may stop any instruction that cannot be verified safely.

Execution and technology risk

• Prices can change, liquidity can disappear, orders can be rejected, delayed, partially filled, duplicated by a venue, settled unexpectedly, or become impossible to cancel.
• Routing may be unavailable because of geography, identity checks, venue status, maintenance, network failures, stale market mappings, uncertain acknowledgements, or risk controls.
• Linked trades are not guaranteed to be atomic across independent venues. One leg may fill while another fails; an attempted unwind can lose money or fail.
• Account data and P&L may be delayed or wrong. Official venue statements are the final source for cash, positions, fees, settlement, and tax records.
• You can lose all money committed to an event contract and may incur fees, taxes, or other obligations. Use only risk capital you can afford to lose.

Prohibited use

• No GPS spoofing, VPN-based location evasion, false identity, KYC circumvention, account sharing, credential theft, or bypass of a venue restriction.
• No offshore or unlicensed sportsbook routing; no DraftKings Sportsbook, FanDuel Sportsbook, Hard Rock Bet sportsbook, or similar integration unless a later written product and legal approval expressly allows it.
• No manipulation, wash trading, collusion, fraud, deceptive orders, abuse of nonpublic information, sanctions evasion, money laundering, unlawful gambling, market disruption, or violation of a venue rule.
• No reverse engineering intended to defeat safeguards, denial-of-service activity, malware, scraping that violates law or contract, or use that harms another person or system.

Controls, suspension, and records

Jockey may enforce size, loss, frequency, geography, account, market, and daily limits; require human approval; place an account or the entire service in maintenance; or refuse, cancel, pause, or freeze activity. A safety stop is not a promise that every loss or error will be prevented. Jockey may retain audit, consent, security, and transaction-support records as described in the Privacy Notice and applicable law.

Fees and third parties

Any future Jockey fee must be shown and accepted separately before billing is enabled. Venue fees, spreads, taxes, data charges, and third-party costs remain your responsibility. Third-party venues and services are independent and Jockey is not responsible for their acts, outages, rules, security, or solvency.

Billing, renewal, cancellation, and refunds

• Jockey will not charge a payment method, begin a trial-to-paid conversion, or renew a subscription unless the price, billing frequency, trial end, renewal terms, taxes, cancellation method, and refund policy are shown clearly before separate affirmative consent.
• Cancellation must be reasonably accessible through the same channel used to enroll when required by law. Cancellation stops future Jockey charges under the final plan terms; it does not cancel venue orders, close venue accounts, liquidate positions, or withdraw funds.
• The final policy must explain proration, credits, refunds, failed payments, fee changes, billing disputes, and when service ends. A venue fee or trading loss is not a Jockey subscription charge and cannot be refunded by Jockey.

Taxes, sanctions, and source of funds

• You are responsible for determining, reporting, and paying every tax arising from your activity, whether or not you receive a tax form. Keep official venue statements and consult a qualified tax adviser.
• You represent that your funds come from lawful sources and that neither you, a beneficial owner, nor an authorized user is prohibited by applicable sanctions or anti-money-laundering law.
• Jockey may request information reasonably needed for compliance, refuse service, preserve records, or report activity when legally required. Jockey will not promise confidentiality where law requires disclosure.

Electronic communications

If electronic delivery is enabled, you consent to receive agreements, disclosures, notices, records, and support communications electronically at the contact information you provide. You must keep that information current and retain copies for your records. You may withdraw consent through the method stated in the final customer agreement, but withdrawal may end access if electronic delivery is required to operate the service. Marketing messages require any separate consent required by law.

Orders, confirmations, and disputes

• An instruction is not accepted, filled, cancelled, or settled until the relevant venue confirms it. A Jockey screen, notification, or agent message is not a venue confirmation.
• Review each venue confirmation and statement promptly. Report a suspected error to Jockey and the venue without delay; any venue deadline for an order, settlement, or account dispute still applies.
• Jockey may investigate, preserve records, restrict access, or cooperate with a venue or authority, but cannot reverse a venue transaction, guarantee recovery, or extend a third party's deadline.

Complaints and regulatory contacts

The final customer agreement must identify Jockey's complaint channel, response process, operating entity, and any regulator or dispute forum that applies to Jockey's actual role. Complaints about a venue should also be made directly to that venue. Where a CFTC-registered entity is involved, customers may have complaint rights through the CFTC or National Futures Association. Nothing in these terms limits a right that cannot lawfully be waived.

Intellectual property and feedback

• Jockey and its software, design, text, marks, and compilation are owned by Jockey or its licensors and may be used only as the service permits.
• Venue names and marks belong to their owners. References identify interoperability and do not imply sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, or approval.
• You keep ownership of content you submit. You grant Jockey only the rights reasonably needed to operate, secure, support, and improve the service. Do not submit content you lack the right to use.
• If you voluntarily provide product feedback, Jockey may use it without restriction or payment, but this does not permit Jockey to publish your confidential information or personal data contrary to the Privacy Notice.

Account security and incidents

• Protect your devices, email, venue accounts, passkeys, recovery methods, and Jockey access codes. Notify Jockey and the affected venue immediately if you suspect compromise.
• Do not rely on email, chat, or an agent message as proof that a trade was placed, cancelled, or settled. Confirm material activity in the official venue account.
• Jockey may revoke sessions, rotate access, preserve evidence, or suspend an account during an investigation. A suspension may occur without advance notice when needed to protect users, venues, or the service.

Account closure and data export

• You may request closure through the final authenticated account process. Before closing, revoke agents and separately review open orders, positions, settlements, withdrawals, tax records, and venue accounts; closing Jockey does not close a venue account or dispose of a venue position.
• Where required, Jockey will provide a usable export of eligible account data. Security, fraud, consent, transaction, audit, tax, dispute, and legal-hold records may remain after closure for the applicable retention period.
• Jockey may suspend or terminate access for legal, security, provider, nonpayment, or policy reasons. The final agreement must state notice, cure, appeal, export, and survival rules and preserve rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

API, market data, and third-party content

• Access to an API, quote, contract description, settlement source, logo, or venue identifier does not transfer ownership or grant a right to redistribute, benchmark, scrape, train a model on, or commercially exploit third-party data.
• You must follow applicable venue and data-provider licenses, attribution rules, display requirements, rate limits, and delayed-data restrictions. Jockey may remove or delay data when authority or accuracy is uncertain.
• Do not use Jockey output as the sole source for a settlement, legal, tax, accounting, compliance, or emergency decision. Official venue records and contract rules control.

Beta service, changes, and availability

• Pre-release features may be incomplete, change without notice, or be withdrawn. Do not rely on Jockey for an uninterrupted route, a required hedge, an emergency exit, or the preservation of a price.
• Jockey may modify, suspend, or discontinue a feature or integration when needed for safety, law, provider rules, maintenance, or business reasons. Where legally required, material customer-facing changes will receive notice and a reasonable transition or termination path.
• Events outside Jockey's reasonable control—including venue action, network or cloud failure, labor disruption, disaster, government action, or market closure—may prevent performance. This does not waive any obligation that law does not permit Jockey to exclude.

Communications, publicity, and conflicts

• Service and security notices are different from marketing. Jockey must obtain and honor any consent, unsubscribe, quiet-hour, or do-not-call right that applies before sending promotional email, text, or telephone messages.
• Jockey may not use your name, logo, results, or testimonial publicly without separate permission. A testimonial, referral, affiliate payment, or creator relationship must be disclosed where required and never presented as typical performance without substantiation.
• You must disclose any employment, fiduciary, confidentiality, public-office, league, team, campaign, settlement-source, or other duty that could restrict a market. Do not trade on material nonpublic information or when your actions can improperly influence the outcome.

Trade controls and restricted parties

You may not use or export Jockey in violation of sanctions, export-control, anti-boycott, or other trade-control law. Access may be blocked when Jockey cannot reasonably verify a person, owner, location, source of funds, or permitted use. A technical connection does not override a legal restriction.

Disclaimers and allocation of risk

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the pre-launch service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, uninterrupted availability, accuracy, or profitable results. Any limitation of liability, indemnity, governing-law provision, arbitration clause, class-action waiver, or venue-selection clause is intentionally not final until counsel identifies the operating entity and applicable customer law. Jockey will not hide those material terms behind a launch button.

Terms that are intentionally not supplied

This draft does not invent an operating company, mailing address, registered-agent address, governing law, mandatory arbitration clause, class waiver, liability cap, indemnity, license number, regulator, or insurance coverage. Those facts can materially affect customer rights and must be accurate, conspicuous, and approved by counsel before acceptance is enabled. Until then, this draft cannot form the live-money customer contract.

Changes and contact

Material terms will be versioned and presented for affirmative acceptance before they govern live use. Continued browsing alone will not activate live trading. Questions or requests may be sent to legal@jockey.to after the domain and mailbox are operational.
