These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the EARLYWIRE websites, applications, APIs, data feeds, alerts and the desk chat (together, the "Service"), operated by EARLYWIRE ("we", "us"). By creating an account, signing in, or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you use the Service on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you are authorised to bind it, and "you" includes that organisation.
EARLYWIRE detects real-world events from public and licensed data sources (ship and aircraft tracking, seismic networks, grid operators, news graphs and similar) and turns them into informational signals: what happened, which instruments it may touch, a confidence rate, and an estimated effect derived from historical measurements.
THE SERVICE IS INFORMATION, NOT ADVICE. NOTHING IN THE SERVICE — NO SIGNAL, ALERT, SCORE, ESTIMATED EFFECT, CONFIDENCE RATE, SCORECARD FIGURE, CHAT MESSAGE OR OTHER CONTENT — CONSTITUTES INVESTMENT ADVICE, A RECOMMENDATION, AN OFFER OR SOLICITATION TO BUY OR SELL ANY INSTRUMENT, OR LEGAL, TAX OR ACCOUNTING ADVICE. WE ARE NOT A BROKER, DEALER, INVESTMENT ADVISER, PORTFOLIO MANAGER OR FIDUCIARY, WE ARE NOT LICENSED OR REGULATED AS ANY OF THOSE, AND NO ADVISORY OR FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP IS CREATED BY YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. IF YOU NEED INVESTMENT ADVICE, CONSULT A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL.
THE SERVICE CAN BE WRONG — ASSUME IT WILL SOMETIMES BE. SIGNALS AND ALERTS MAY BE INACCURATE, FALSE, LATE, INCOMPLETE, DUPLICATED, MIS-ATTRIBUTED TO THE WRONG COMPANY, INSTRUMENT OR LOCATION, OR ENTIRELY ABSENT — WE MAY MISS EVENTS COMPLETELY. CONFIDENCE RATES, ESTIMATED EFFECTS AND THE PUBLIC SCORECARD ARE HISTORICAL STATISTICS COMPUTED BY US FROM OUR OWN DATA: THEY ARE NOT AUDITED, MAY CONTAIN ERRORS, AND ARE NOT PREDICTIONS OR GUARANTEES OF FUTURE RESULTS. YOU MUST INDEPENDENTLY VERIFY ANY INFORMATION BEFORE ACTING ON IT.
ASSUMPTION OF RISK. TRADING AND INVESTING INVOLVE SUBSTANTIAL RISK, INCLUDING THE TOTAL LOSS OF CAPITAL. YOU ALONE DECIDE WHETHER, WHAT, WHEN AND HOW TO TRADE. ALL TRADING DECISIONS, AND ALL RESULTS OF THOSE DECISIONS — INCLUDING LOSSES FROM ACTING ON A SIGNAL, ACTING ON ITS ABSENCE, OR A MISSED OPPORTUNITY — ARE YOURS ALONE.
You must be at least 18 and able to form a binding contract. Access is granted per named user ("seat"). Keep your credentials confidential; you are responsible for all activity under your account. Accounts are approved at our discretion and may start in a pending state. You may not share, resell or rotate a seat across multiple people.
Paid plans are billed in advance through our payment processor (Stripe). Trials convert only with your explicit action — no card, no silent conversion. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law. We may change pricing with at least 14 days' notice, effective on your next billing period. Taxes are your responsibility where applicable.
You agree not to: (a) resell, redistribute, syndicate or publicly republish the Service's data, signals or alerts without our written agreement; (b) scrape, bulk-export or access the Service by any means other than the interfaces we provide; (c) probe, disrupt, overload or circumvent security or rate limits; (d) reverse engineer any part of the Service except as permitted by law; (e) use the Service to violate any law, sanction or market-abuse regulation; or (f) build a competing dataset or model from the Service's output.
The desk chat is a shared room visible to all entitled users. By posting you agree that you will not: share material non-public information (MNPI) or information received under a duty of confidence; coordinate, encourage or facilitate market manipulation or any other market-abuse conduct; post unlawful, harassing or deceptive content; or impersonate another person. Messages are stored (currently up to 7 days), may be moderated, removed or disclosed where legally required, and system notices may be posted by the platform. We may mute or suspend chat access, or the entire account, for violations. The chat is user conversation — it is not our advice and we do not verify what users post.
The Service aggregates third-party and public data feeds that we do not control. We do not warrant that any feed, signal or alert is accurate, complete, timely or uninterrupted, and coverage may change or disappear as sources change. The Service is provided on a reasonable-efforts basis without an SLA unless one is separately agreed in writing.
Alert delivery (in-app, webhook, Slack, Telegram or any other channel) is best-effort only: alerts may be delayed, deduplicated, filtered by your own settings, suppressed, or fail to deliver entirely — including because of third-party outages we do not control. Do not rely on the Service as your sole source of market information or as a risk-management, safety or emergency system.
We (and our licensors) own the Service, including software, design, models, scores and compilations. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Service for your internal business or personal trading during your subscription. You retain ownership of content you post in chat, and grant us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, display, moderate and process it to operate the Service. If you send us feedback, we may use it without restriction or compensation.
We process your account data (email, authentication identifiers), delivery settings (e.g. Telegram chat id, webhook URLs), chat messages, and usage telemetry to provide and improve the Service. We do not sell personal data. Processing is described in our Privacy Notice; EU/EEA users have the rights provided by the GDPR, exercisable at the contact below.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THAT: WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY SIGNAL OR ALERT WILL BE CORRECT, TIMELY, COMPLETE OR DELIVERED AT ALL; THAT EVENTS WILL BE DETECTED; THAT THE SCORECARD OR ANY STATISTIC IS ERROR-FREE; THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR SECURE; OR THAT USING THE SERVICE WILL BE PROFITABLE. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM US (INCLUDING IN THE DESK CHAT) CREATES ANY WARRANTY.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (a) WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST OPPORTUNITIES, LOST DATA, TRADING OR INVESTMENT LOSSES, MISSED TRADES, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION — WHETHER ARISING FROM A SIGNAL, THE ABSENCE OR LATENESS OF A SIGNAL, AN ERROR IN ANY SCORE OR STATISTIC, A DELIVERY FAILURE, OR ANYTHING ELSE RELATING TO THE SERVICE — EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY, AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE); AND (b) OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE FEES YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM (OR $100 IF YOU PAID NOTHING). NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED BY LAW, INCLUDING FOR WILFUL MISCONDUCT; CONSUMERS IN THE EU/EEA RETAIN ALL RIGHTS THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED BY CONTRACT.
You will indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your content, your use of the Service in breach of these Terms, or your violation of law or third-party rights.
You may cancel at any time, effective at the end of the current billing period. We may suspend or terminate access immediately for breach of these Terms (including chat rules and acceptable use), for non-payment, where required by law, or where a data licensor requires it. Sections 8, 10–12 and 14–15 survive termination.
We may modify the Service (including adding, changing or removing sources, signals and features) and these Terms. Material changes to the Terms will be notified in-app or by email at least 14 days before they take effect; continued use after that is acceptance. If you object, your remedy is to cancel before the effective date.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Czech Republic, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Disputes belong to the courts of Prague, Czech Republic — except that consumers in the EU/EEA retain any mandatory protections and venue rights of their country of residence. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
