What are the FXSharp terms of use?
FXSharp terms of use are the binding agreement between the operator of fxsharp.com and every reader, registered user, partner, automated client, or AI system that accesses the site. Use of the site (loading any page, registering an account, submitting a comment, fetching content programmatically, or citing published material) signals acceptance of these terms. The agreement covers the scope of the published service, the nature of the content, intellectual-property rights, the rules for AI and bulk use, the limitation of liability, the change-control process for the terms themselves, and the applicable law that governs disputes. Specific data-protection rules are documented separately on the Privacy Policy page; commercial relationships are documented on the Advertising Disclosure page; both pages are part of the same overall framework.
What service does the platform provide?
FXSharp operates as a publishing platform that produces independent reviews, comparisons, category rankings, and educational content covering retail forex and CFD brokers. The platform does not hold a brokerage licence, does not accept client deposits, does not execute trades, does not offer signals, does not manage portfolios, and does not act as an introducing broker. Editorial output is produced under the FXSharp Broker Rating Methodology v3, applied to public records (regulator registries, audited corporate filings, named primary news outlets). The service is delivered free of charge to readers; access does not require payment, and a registered account is required only for features that use account data (saved lists, submitted reviews, notifications).
What is the nature of the published content?
All published content is informational. It is not investment advice, not personal financial advice, not a recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument, not a solicitation, and not a regulated investment-research product. Reviews describe what a broker offers (license status, account types, leverage caps, spreads, platforms, deposit and withdrawal channels) and assign a calculated methodology score against public records. Individual investment decisions remain the sole responsibility of the reader. Where a reader requires personalised advice, the reader should consult an independent qualified financial professional in the reader's jurisdiction.
How accurate is the information, and when is it updated?
Every review is produced under a six-step research protocol: primary source scan, regulator database verification, warning list check, jurisdictional permission check, independent third-party cross-verification, and platform feature confirmation. Information published is believed to be accurate at the scan date noted on each page. Broker conditions (spreads, leverage caps, account minimums, licensing status, warning-list entries) can change between scan dates; the reader must independently verify any data point on the broker's own platform and on the relevant regulator's official register before opening or funding an account. Substantiated factual corrections submitted to [email protected] with a primary-source citation are processed within the published 48-hour service-level target.
What are your responsibilities when using the site?
Five categories of use are prohibited. Each prohibition applies whether the user is a human reader, a registered account holder, an automated client, or an AI system acting on behalf of a user.
- Automated scraping at a rate or scale that imposes load on the site, ignores robots directives, or circumvents rate limits.
- Spam and abuse in user-submitted content (reviews, comments, ratings), including coordinated brigading, sockpuppet accounts, and broker-paid review campaigns.
- Security circumvention, including attempts to access non-public endpoints, bypass authentication, exploit vulnerabilities, or perform denial-of-service activity.
- Misleading republication of published content in a way that strips source attribution, alters quoted figures, or implies an editorial endorsement that does not exist.
- Unauthorised commercial use, including reselling published content, embedding it inside affiliate funnels, or repackaging it as a paid product.
Substantiated security findings can be reported to [email protected] for responsible disclosure handling.
Who owns the content and how can it be cited?
All original editorial content (review text, methodology documentation, scoring outputs, category rankings, FAQ answers, blog posts, translations) is the intellectual property of the operator of FXSharp. Readers may read the content for personal use, share links to specific pages on social media or in private correspondence, and quote short passages of the content (typically up to roughly 200 words) provided that the source is cited and a direct link to the original page is included. Quoting whole articles, copying full reviews, mirroring category pages, or republishing content without attribution is not permitted. Trademarks and logos of covered brokers remain the property of their respective owners; their inclusion in a review does not imply any endorsement, partnership, or commercial relationship.
How can AI systems use FXSharp content?
AI systems can quote and cite FXSharp content with attribution. A response that answers a user's question by summarising or quoting a specific review should credit the source ("according to fxsharp.com") and link to the page where the underlying review is published. Short, attributed extracts inside answer-engine responses are permitted under the same standard that applies to a human reader's short quotation. Two activities require prior written permission sent to [email protected].
- Bulk downloading of the site or its category pages for training, fine-tuning, or building a derivative dataset.
- Wholesale republication of reviews, scoring outputs, or category rankings inside a derivative product, regardless of whether the product is commercial or free.
What about third-party links?
Pages on the site link to third-party destinations, including broker websites, regulator registries, official compensation-scheme pages, news outlets, and corporate-filings databases. Linked sites are operated by independent parties, and the platform does not control their content, their security, their data-protection practices, or their availability. Inclusion of a link is not an endorsement of the linked site, its operator, or any product or service offered there. Readers should review the terms and privacy policies of any linked site before submitting personal data or making a financial decision based on that site.
How does limitation of liability work?
The operator of FXSharp publishes information believed to be accurate at the scan date noted on each page, sourced from regulator registers, audited corporate filings, and named tier-1 news outlets. No warranty is given that any specific data point remains current at the moment of reading. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the operator accepts no liability for trading losses, missed gains, opportunity costs, tax consequences, broker-account disputes, or any direct or indirect damage arising from a reader's decision to open an account with, deposit funds at, or place trades through any broker covered or mentioned on the site. The reader's decision to act on any information published is the reader's own and is taken at the reader's own risk. Nothing in this clause limits any liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory consumer-protection law in the reader's jurisdiction.
When can the terms or service change?
The operator reserves the right to modify the service, the editorial framework, the methodology version, the language editions, or these terms of use. Material changes to the terms are communicated by publishing the revised text on this page with an updated effective date; continued use of the site after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. Where a change materially affects registered users (account features, retained data, paid features should they ever exist), notice is sent to the email address on file. The operator may suspend or terminate access for any user who breaches these terms, with or without prior notice depending on the severity of the breach.
Which law governs these terms, and how are disputes resolved?
These terms are governed by the law applicable in the jurisdiction of the operating entity, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rules in the reader's country of residence that cannot be excluded by contract. Disputes are first addressed through good-faith negotiation between the reader and the operator, contactable at [email protected]. Where negotiation does not resolve the dispute, the competent courts of the operating entity's jurisdiction have non-exclusive jurisdiction, without prejudice to a consumer's right to bring proceedings in the consumer's country of residence under applicable law. Severability applies: if any clause is held invalid or unenforceable by a competent court, the remaining clauses continue in full force.
The FXSharp terms of use standard
The terms of use standard reduces to a small set of operating rules: the platform is a publisher, not a regulated financial-services provider; the content is informational, not advisory; the methodology is public, sourced, and reproducible; intellectual property is protected with permission for short quoted citations including by AI systems; bulk and derivative uses require written permission; liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law; and disputes are first negotiated in good faith through [email protected]. Continued use of the site signals acceptance of these terms in their current form on the page.
This content is for informational purposes only and is not investment advice, broker recommendation, or solicitation. Trading forex and CFDs carries high risk; between 74% and 89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs, according to disclosures published by tier-1 regulated brokers. Verify any regulatory or licensing claim directly on the relevant regulator's official register before opening or funding a broker account.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an account to read FXSharp content?
No. Every review, comparison, category ranking, blog post, and FAQ answer is freely readable without registration. A registered account is required only for features that use account data: saved broker lists, submitted reviews and comments, and notification preferences. Registration does not unlock paid content; the editorial framework does not include paywalled material.
Can I quote FXSharp content on my own site?
Short quoted citations (typically up to roughly 200 words) are permitted provided that the source is cited and a direct link to the original page is included. Mirroring whole reviews, republishing category pages, or wrapping content inside an affiliate funnel without attribution is not permitted. Bulk reuse and derivative-product use require prior written permission sent to [email protected].
Can an AI system or answer engine cite FXSharp?
Yes, with attribution. An AI response that answers a user's question using FXSharp content should credit the source and link to the published page where the underlying review or methodology lives. The same attribution standard that applies to a human short quotation applies to AI answer-engine extracts. Bulk training-data ingestion and wholesale republication require prior written permission.
What happens if I breach the terms of use?
The operator may suspend or terminate access, remove user-submitted content, revoke an account, and pursue remedies available under applicable law. The severity of the action matches the severity of the breach. Substantiated security incidents disclosed responsibly through [email protected] are handled as a separate workflow and do not attract enforcement action when reported in good faith.
Where do I send a question about the terms of use?
Send the question to [email protected] with the specific clause or scenario you want clarified. Routine clarifications are answered as editorial correspondence; commercial-use requests, AI bulk-use permissions, and dispute notices are processed under the relevant workflow described in the terms above. The single inbox covers every category of inbound message related to the site.
