Terms of Service

Effective Date: May 11, 2026

App: Doofclunk Trades
Operator: Joshua Brownrigg ("we," "us," "our")
Website: doofclunktrades.com

By creating an account or using Doofclunk Trades, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. Service Description

Doofclunk Trades is an automated trading assistant that connects to your brokerage account (currently Alpaca Securities LLC) and executes trades based on technical analysis, AI-driven market sentiment, and your configured risk settings. The app does not hold your funds — all money remains in your brokerage account.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old.
You must have a valid brokerage account with a supported broker (Alpaca).
You must comply with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction, including securities regulations.

3. Not Financial Advice

Doofclunk Trades is not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, or financial planner. The app provides automated trading tools, not personalized investment advice. All trading involves risk, including the potential loss of your entire investment. Past performance does not guarantee future results. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and their outcomes.

4. Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for all activity under your account.
You are responsible for the accuracy and legality of any information you provide, including Market Notes.
You must keep your login credentials and API keys secure.
You must monitor your brokerage account and understand the trades being executed on your behalf.
You must ensure your use of the app complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

5. Market Notes & Insider Trading

5.1 What Market Notes Do

The Market Notes feature allows you to provide your own market context, observations, and publicly available news to Doofclunk's AI. These notes are combined with live market news and influence the AI's trading analysis and decisions.

5.2 Prohibited Use — Material Non-Public Information

You must not enter material non-public information (MNPI) — commonly known as "insider information" — into Market Notes or any other part of this app.

Trading on insider information is a federal crime under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Section 10(b), Rule 10b-5), regardless of whether a human or an automated system executes the trade. Using Doofclunk Trades to act on insider information does not shield you from liability.

5.3 Logging & Compliance

All Market Notes are logged with timestamps and associated with your user account. We retain these records as part of your activity history. In the event of a regulatory investigation, subpoena, or court order, we will:

Cooperate fully with regulatory authorities (SEC, FINRA, DOJ, or equivalent).
Produce all relevant records, including Market Notes, trading activity, and account metadata.
Notify you of any disclosure unless prohibited by law from doing so.

By using Market Notes, you acknowledge that your entries are recorded and may be disclosed to law enforcement or regulators.

5.4 Our Position

Doofclunk Trades is a software tool. We do not review, filter, or verify the content of Market Notes in real time. We explicitly instruct users to use only publicly available information. We are not responsible for any user's decision to enter illegal information into the system.

6. Automated Trading Risks

Market risk: All investments can lose value. Automated trading does not eliminate risk.
Technical risk: Software bugs, API outages, network failures, or brokerage delays may result in missed trades, incorrect orders, or unintended positions.
Leverage risk: Some watchlist symbols (e.g., TQQQ) are leveraged products that can amplify losses significantly.
No guarantee: We do not guarantee any level of performance, uptime, or accuracy of trading signals.

7. Subscription & Billing

Free tier is available with limited features.
Paid plans (Doofclunk Trades, Doofclunk Smash) are billed monthly through Stripe.
You can cancel at any time from your account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
Refunds are not provided for partial months.

8. Intellectual Property

All code, branding, artwork, and content of Doofclunk Trades — including the Doofclunk character, the name "Brownrigg Analytics," and all associated imagery — are the intellectual property of Joshua Brownrigg. You may not copy, redistribute, or reverse-engineer the app.

9. Account Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time if:

You violate these Terms of Service.
We have reason to believe you are using the app for illegal activity.
Required by law or regulatory action.

Termination does not affect your brokerage account — your positions and funds remain with Alpaca.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Doofclunk Trades and Joshua Brownrigg shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:

Trading losses, including losses from automated trades.
Service interruptions, bugs, or API failures.
Unauthorized access to your account due to compromised credentials.
Any action taken by regulatory authorities based on your use of the app.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Joshua Brownrigg and Doofclunk Trades from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the service, including any legal action resulting from your trading activity or the content you provide through Market Notes.

12. Third-Party Services

Doofclunk Trades integrates with third-party services including Alpaca Securities LLC, Firebase (Google), Stripe, and OpenAI. Your use of these services is subject to their respective terms. We are not responsible for their availability, accuracy, or policies.

13. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of the state in which the operator resides.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or in-app notification. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
