Terms of Service

Last Updated: February 27, 2026

Important — Please Read Carefully

These Terms of Service ("Terms" or "Agreement") govern your access to and use of gemalgo.com and all associated services provided by GemAlgo LLC ("GemAlgo," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using our website or services, you agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety. If you do not agree, you are not authorized to use our website or services.

This agreement contains an arbitration clause and class action waiver. Please review Section 18 carefully.

1. Eligibility & Acceptance

Our website and services are intended solely for adults who have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts. By using our website, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age, meet the legal requirements in your jurisdiction, and agree to these Terms in full.

2. Nature of Services

GemAlgo provides access to a systematic, automated equities algorithm ("Orion") that executes trades within your own U.S. regulated brokerage account. GemAlgo is a software and technology company. We are not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, or financial institution.

Our services include:

  • Access to the Orion automated equities algorithm
  • Account setup and onboarding support
  • Performance reporting and transparency tools
  • Ongoing technical support and system maintenance

3. No Investment Advice

GemAlgo does not provide personalized investment advice, financial planning, tax advice, or legal counsel. Nothing on our website, in our communications, or through our services constitutes an offer to sell securities, a solicitation to buy securities, or a recommendation of any specific investment strategy.

You are solely responsible for determining whether GemAlgo's services are appropriate for your financial situation, investment objectives, and risk tolerance. We strongly encourage you to consult a qualified registered investment advisor, attorney, or tax professional before making any investment decision.

Past performance data presented on our website or through our services is not indicative of future results. All performance figures are for informational purposes only.

4. Important Investment Risk Disclosure

Investing in equities involves substantial risk, including the possible loss of some or all capital invested. You should not allocate capital you cannot afford to lose. Specific risks include but are not limited to:

  • Market risk — equity values can decline significantly and rapidly
  • Systematic risk — algorithmic strategies may underperform or experience drawdowns
  • Technology risk — system outages, connectivity issues, or API failures may affect performance
  • Liquidity risk — positions may not always be exited at desired prices
  • Regulatory risk — changes in regulations may affect strategy operation

GemAlgo does not guarantee any specific level of performance, return, or capital preservation. All performance data presented reflects historical results that may not be repeated.

5. Your Brokerage Account

GemAlgo connects to your personal Interactive Brokers brokerage account via API for the sole purpose of executing trades. At no point does GemAlgo hold, custody, pool, or control your funds. You maintain full ownership and control of your brokerage account at all times.

By using our services, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • You are responsible for maintaining your brokerage account in good standing
  • You are responsible for ensuring sufficient capital is maintained in your account
  • You are responsible for all brokerage fees, commissions, and costs associated with trading
  • GemAlgo's API access is limited to trade execution only — we cannot withdraw or transfer funds from your account

6. Minimum Capital Requirement

A minimum of $25,000 in available capital is required to access GemAlgo's services. This minimum must be maintained in your connected brokerage account at all times during active use of the algorithm. Falling below this minimum may affect system performance and is grounds for suspension of services.

7. Intellectual Property

All content on gemalgo.com — including but not limited to text, graphics, data, performance reports, strategy documentation, software, algorithms, and branding — is the proprietary intellectual property of GemAlgo LLC and is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws.

You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from any GemAlgo content without our prior written consent. Unauthorized use of our intellectual property may result in legal action.

The Orion algorithm, its signal architecture, factor weightings, and optimization methodology are confidential proprietary systems. You agree not to attempt to reverse engineer, replicate, or disclose any aspect of the algorithm's proprietary construction.

8. Account Registration & Security

To access our services you will be required to create an account. By doing so, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate, complete, and current information
  • Maintain the security and confidentiality of your account credentials
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or security breach
  • Accept full responsibility for all activity conducted under your account
  • Maintain only a single account

GemAlgo reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account at its discretion for violation of these Terms or for any conduct we deem harmful to our platform, other users, or our services.

9. Acceptable Use

You agree to use GemAlgo's website and services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

  • Use our services in violation of any applicable law or regulation
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of our systems
  • Interfere with or disrupt the operation of our website or services
  • Use automated tools to scrape, harvest, or extract data from our website
  • Misrepresent your identity or financial information
  • Share, transfer, or sublicense your account access to any third party
  • Use our services for any purpose other than personal algorithmic trading within your own brokerage account

10. Fees & Payment

Access to GemAlgo's services requires payment of a license fee as specified at the time of enrollment. All fees are:

  • Denominated in U.S. Dollars
  • Due at the time specified in your enrollment agreement
  • Non-refundable except as expressly provided in Section 11

We accept major U.S. issued credit and debit cards including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. By submitting payment information, you represent that you are authorized to use the payment method provided and that all payment information is accurate and complete.

GemAlgo is not responsible for any fees or charges applied by your bank or card issuer in connection with payments made to us.

11. Refund Policy — 12 Month Satisfaction Guarantee

11.1 Guarantee Overview

GemAlgo offers a twelve (12) month satisfaction guarantee on the initial license fee. If, after twelve consecutive months of compliant use, you are not satisfied with the service, you may request a refund of the initial license fee minus any net profits earned during that period.

11.2 Guarantee Period

The twelve month period begins on your enrollment date. Refund requests must be submitted within seven (7) calendar days of the guarantee period's expiration. Requests submitted before the period ends or after the seven day window will not be processed.

11.3 Conditions

The guarantee is valid only if all of the following conditions are met continuously throughout the twelve month period:

  • The algorithm remains connected and actively trading — defined as executing a minimum of two trades per calendar month
  • You have not modified, tampered with, or overridden any system settings or risk parameters
  • You have operated the system exclusively on approved brokerage platforms via approved API connections
  • You have maintained a minimum of $25,000 in trading capital at all times
  • You have applied all system updates within five business days of release
  • You can provide complete, verifiable brokerage account statements for the entire period upon request

11.4 Refund Calculation

Eligible refunds equal the initial license fee paid minus any net profits realized during the twelve month period. If net profits equal or exceed the license fee, no refund will be issued.

Example: If the license fee was $10,000 and net profits were $4,000, the refund would be $6,000.

11.5 Exclusions

The guarantee does not apply to losses or underperformance caused by third-party service outages, force majeure events, market halts, regulatory actions, or client negligence including failure to maintain API connectivity, VPS uptime, or adequate account capital.

11.6 How To Request

Submit your request and supporting brokerage documentation to support@gemalgo.com within the applicable window. Approved refunds will be processed within thirty (30) days of verification.

12. Chargebacks

You expressly agree not to initiate chargebacks or payment disputes with your bank or card issuer for fees paid to GemAlgo. Initiating a chargeback constitutes a material breach of this Agreement and may result in immediate termination of your account and pursuit of the full amount owed through collections or legal action.
