Terms of Service

Last updated: March 2026 · Version 1.0

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Dossier Terminal platform, including the website at dossierterminal.ai, the Dossier Terminal application, and all related services (collectively, the "Platform"), operated by Dossier Terminal, Ltd. ("we," "us," or "our").

By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

1. What Dossier Terminal Is

Dossier Terminal is a market intelligence platform that uses artificial intelligence to help you analyze your portfolio, track investment theses, and reflect on your trading decisions. Our AI analyst, James, provides analysis, context, and pattern recognition based on your portfolio data, market information, and your conversation history.

2. What Dossier Terminal Is Not

Dossier Terminal is not a financial advisor. We do not provide investment advice, tax advice, legal advice, or any recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security. James is an intelligence tool — not a fiduciary, not a registered investment advisor, and not a substitute for professional financial counsel.

Dossier Terminal is not a broker-dealer. We do not execute trades, hold funds, transfer money, or have custody of any of your assets. We cannot and will not place orders on your behalf. All investment decisions and trade execution are entirely your responsibility.

Dossier Terminal is not infallible. James uses artificial intelligence that can produce inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information. AI-generated analysis may contain errors in data interpretation, mathematical calculation, or logical reasoning. All output should be independently verified before being used as the basis for any investment decision.

3. Your Account

3.1 Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age and legally authorized to make investment decisions in the accounts you connect to the Platform. By creating an account, you represent that you meet these requirements.

3.2 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You agree to notify us immediately at support@dossierterminal.ai if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

3.3 One Account Per Person

Each account is for a single individual. You may not share your account credentials or allow others to access the Platform through your account.

4. Your Responsibilities

By using Dossier Terminal, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • All investment decisions are yours. You are solely responsible for your investment decisions. Nothing on this Platform constitutes a recommendation, solicitation, or offer to buy or sell any security.
  • You will verify information independently. You agree to independently verify any data, analysis, calculation, or assertion made by James or the Platform before relying on it.
  • You understand AI limitations. You acknowledge that James is powered by artificial intelligence, which is a probabilistic system that can and does make mistakes.
  • You will not use the Platform for illegal purposes. You agree not to use the Platform to facilitate insider trading, market manipulation, or any other activity that violates applicable securities laws.
  • You will not abuse the Platform. You agree not to reverse-engineer, scrape, resell, or redistribute data or content from the Platform.

5. Portfolio Connectivity

Portfolio connectivity is provided through Plaid Inc. When you connect a brokerage account:

  • Plaid accesses your holdings and transaction data on a read-only basis.
  • Your brokerage credentials are transmitted directly to Plaid and are never stored on our servers.
  • We can see your holdings, cost basis, and transaction history. We cannot execute trades, transfer funds, or modify your accounts.
  • You can disconnect any brokerage account at any time from Settings.

While we strive to present accurate portfolio data, discrepancies may exist between Plaid-provided data and your brokerage's records. Your brokerage account is the authoritative source for your position and account information.

6. AI-Generated Content

  • No guarantee of accuracy. All content generated by James — including daily dossiers, conversation responses, thesis assessments, and research briefs — is produced by artificial intelligence and may contain errors.
  • Not personalized investment advice. Even though James references your specific portfolio and theses, his output constitutes market intelligence and analytical tools — not personalized investment advice as defined by applicable securities regulations.
  • Hypothetical analysis. When James presents scenarios or projections, these are illustrative calculations, not predictions. Past performance and historical patterns do not predict future results.
  • Behavioral observations. James may identify patterns in your trading behavior based on your journal entries and trading history. These are analytical observations, not psychological assessments.

7. Subscription and Billing

7.1 Pricing

Dossier Terminal is offered on a monthly subscription basis at the price displayed at the time of signup. Prices may change with 30 days' notice to existing subscribers.

7.2 Payment

Payments are processed through Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize Stripe to charge your payment method on a recurring monthly basis.

7.3 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time from Settings → Billing. Upon cancellation, you retain access through the end of your current billing period. After that, your account data is retained for 90 days, then permanently deleted.

7.4 Refunds

We do not offer refunds for partial months. If you experience a technical issue that materially prevents you from using the Platform for an extended period, contact us to discuss options.

8. Intellectual Property

8.1 Your Content

You retain ownership of your theses, journal entries, and any content you create on the Platform. By using the Platform, you grant us a limited license to process this content solely for the purpose of providing the service.

8.2 Our Content

The Platform, including James's capabilities, the dossier generation system, all software, designs, and documentation, is the intellectual property of Dossier Terminal, Ltd. Elements of the Platform's intelligence architecture are the subject of a pending United States patent application.

8.3 Generated Content

AI-generated content is provided to you as part of the service. You may use this content for your personal investment research. You may not redistribute, resell, or publicly publish AI-generated content from the Platform at scale.

9. Risk Acknowledgment

Investing in securities involves risk, including the potential loss of principal. You acknowledge that:

  • Markets can move against your positions rapidly and without warning.
  • Concentration in individual securities increases risk.
  • Leveraged and short positions carry additional risks including unlimited loss potential.
  • Past performance does not guarantee future results.
  • AI-generated analysis cannot predict market movements.

The Platform's risk alerts are informational flags, not comprehensive risk assessments.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Dossier Terminal, its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from:

  • Your use of or inability to use the Platform
  • Any AI-generated content, analysis, or information provided through the Platform
  • Investment decisions made based on information from the Platform
  • Unauthorized access to your account
  • Any interruption or cessation of the service
  • Errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in any content

In no event shall our aggregate liability exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Dossier Terminal and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses arising from your use of the Platform, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any applicable laws.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or use the Platform in a manner that could harm other users or the Platform itself. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you before termination, except in cases of fraud or abuse.

13. Modifications

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will require your re-acceptance within the application before you can continue using the Platform. Non-material changes will be posted with an updated effective date. Continued use after non-material changes constitutes acceptance.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Platform shall be resolved in the courts of the State of Delaware.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
