Terms of Service
Effective date: May 1, 2026 · Last updated: October 4, 2026
Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”) carefully before creating an account or purchasing a subscription from The Core Group (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By registering or subscribing, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. The Service
The Core Group provides Argos — a suite of proprietary trading indicators, strategies, and add-ons (“Software”) designed for use with NinjaTrader 8. Access to the Software is provided through subscription plans managed via our customer portal at my.the-core-group.com.
2. License Grant
Subject to your active subscription and compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Software on a single computer for your personal, non-commercial trading purposes.
You may not:
- Redistribute, resell, sublicense, or transfer the Software to any third party
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code
- Use the Software on more machines than permitted by your subscription plan
- Remove or alter any licensing, copyright, or proprietary notices
3. Subscriptions and Payment
Billing — Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance. By providing a payment method, you authorize us to charge that method at the start of each billing period via Stripe.
Free trial — Where offered, a free trial provides full access for 7 days. No charge is made during the trial. The trial is available once per account; a new account may not be created to obtain additional free trials.
Refunds — All sales are final. Payments for monthly and yearly plans are non-refundable, including partial billing periods. The 7-day free trial is provided so you can evaluate the service before purchasing.
Cancellation — You may cancel at any time from the portal. Cancellation stops the next renewal; access continues until the end of the period you have paid for.
Yearly plans — Yearly plans are billed once per year in advance and renew automatically for another year unless cancelled before the renewal date. We send a reminder email before each yearly renewal.
Failed payments — If a payment fails, we will retry automatically. Continued failure will result in suspension of your license and access to downloads.
4. Trading Risk Disclaimer
The Software, including all indicators, strategies, and educational content provided by The Core Group, is for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice, investment advice, trading advice, or any other type of advice.
Trading futures, stocks, forex, or any other financial instrument involves substantial risk of loss and is not appropriate for all investors. Past performance of any trading method or indicator is not indicative of future results. You can lose more than your initial investment.
You are solely responsible for your own trading decisions. The Core Group and its principals are not registered investment advisors or broker-dealers. Use of the Software does not create a client relationship of any kind.
5. Intellectual Property
All Software, documentation, trademarks, and content are the exclusive property of The Core Group. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
6. Account Responsibilities
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. We are not liable for losses resulting from unauthorized account access due to your failure to safeguard your credentials.
One account per person. Sharing account credentials or licenses with others is a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate termination.
7. Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and license at any time if you breach these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or for any other reason at our sole discretion. Upon termination you must uninstall and destroy all copies of the Software.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED.
9. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE CORE GROUP AND ITS PRINCIPALS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICE, INCLUDING TRADING LOSSES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU IN THE 3 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
10. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Maryland.
11. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms at any time. We will notify you via email or a portal notice at least 14 days before material changes take effect. Continued use of the service after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
