SPX Playbook Trainer — Terms of Service
Effective date: July 11, 2026
These Terms govern your use of the SPX Playbook Trainer web game at spxplay.com ("the Service"), operated by VantureCap ("we", "us"). By using the Service you agree to these Terms. Purchases made inside the iOS app go through Apple and are governed by the App Store terms; these Terms govern the web game.
Educational Game — Not Financial Advice
SPX Playbook Trainer is an educational game. It replays historical market scenarios with simulated positions and simulated results. It is not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice; it is not a broker, exchange, trading platform, investment adviser, or signal service; and it involves no real-money trading — no real orders are ever placed and no real positions ever exist. Past or simulated performance shown in the game does not predict real trading results. Any real-world trading decisions you make are entirely your own responsibility.
1. The Service
The Service is a browser-based scenario trainer: it shows masked charts of real past market sessions, lets you choose defined-risk option plays, then reveals the outcome with simulated profit and loss. A free tier is available. An optional paid "Pro" subscription unlocks additional session lengths and keeps the experience ad-free. Google AdSense is currently under review, so ads are not yet active; if free-tier ads launch, Pro subscribers will not be shown them.
2. No Accounts — Access Keys
The Service has no user accounts. If you subscribe to Pro, your entitlement is remembered by a browser cookie, and you are shown a private access key exactly once. Treat the key like a password:
- Use it to restore Pro access on your other devices or browsers.
- Anyone who has your key can use your Pro access, so keep it secret. Do not post or share it.
- If you lose the key, contact us at the address in the Contact section and we will try to help you restore access using your Stripe subscription details.
3. Billing (Stripe)
- Pro subscriptions are billed by Stripe. The current price is always shown on the checkout page before you pay.
- Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period until cancelled.
- You can cancel anytime via the "Manage subscription" link in the game, which opens the Stripe billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep Pro access until then.
- Prices may change. We will provide notice before a change applies to your subscription; it applies only to a future renewal and never retroactively, and you can cancel before the new price takes effect. Applicable taxes may be added at checkout.
4. Refunds
Subscription payments are final and non-refundable except where a refund is required by applicable law. Cancelling stops the next renewal — you keep Pro access for the remainder of the billing period you already paid for, and you are not charged again. If you believe you were charged in error, contact support@spxplay.com.
Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable statutory refund rights you have in your jurisdiction.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- scrape, extract, or redistribute the game's scenario data or content;
- circumvent, disable, or interfere with the paywall, entitlement checks, or ads;
- share, sell, or publish access keys;
- probe, overload, or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure; or
- use the Service for any unlawful purpose.
We may suspend or terminate access (including Pro entitlements obtained through abuse) for material violation of these Terms.
6. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy of historical data, or uninterrupted availability. Market data shown in scenarios may contain errors or gaps.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service is capped at the amounts you paid us for the Service in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim (which is zero for free-tier use). We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including lost profits or trading losses. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
8. Changes
We may update the Service and these Terms. Material changes to the Terms will be posted on this page with a new effective date before they take effect. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms; if you do not, stop using the Service and cancel any subscription.
9. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in California, and both parties consent to that venue.
