Provider Disclaimer

Effective Date: June 1, 2026  |  The Black Vault Funding, Inc.

This Provider Disclaimer ("Disclaimer") is issued by The Black Vault Funding, Inc. ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), a Minnesota corporation. It governs the Company's relationship with, and all references to, third-party technology providers, data vendors, trading platforms, clearing firms, payment processors, and other service providers ("Third-Party Providers") whose products or services are used in connection with, or referenced on, the Company's website, platform, or communications.

1. No Endorsement

The identification, naming, or display of any Third-Party Provider on the Company's website, marketing materials, platform interface, or in any other Company communication does not constitute:

  • An endorsement, recommendation, or approval of that provider's products, services, suitability, reliability, or financial condition by the Company;
  • A representation that the Third-Party Provider is affiliated with, sponsored by, or in a formal partnership with the Company, except as expressly stated in a signed written agreement between the parties;
  • A warranty or guarantee regarding the availability, performance, accuracy, or security of any Third-Party Provider's systems, data, or services.

2. No Formal Partnership Unless Expressly Stated

The use of a Third-Party Provider's platform, technology, or data feed as part of the Company's service delivery does not create a partnership, joint venture, agency relationship, or fiduciary duty between the Company and that provider. The Company contracts with Third-Party Providers on a vendor or service basis. Any formal partnership or affiliate arrangement between the Company and a Third-Party Provider will be expressly identified as such in the relevant section of this website and governed by a separate written agreement.

Note regarding provider logos and names: Any use of third-party provider logos, trade names, or trademarks on this website is for identification and informational purposes only. All trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Their display does not imply any affiliation with or endorsement by the trademark owner.

3. Technology and Platform Providers

The Company delivers its simulated trading evaluation programs through one or more third-party software platforms and data infrastructure providers. By using the Company's programs, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • The Company does not own, operate, or control the underlying trading simulation engine, charting software, or order management system used to deliver the simulated trading environment.
  • The availability, performance, and functionality of the simulated platform depend in part on Third-Party Providers whose systems may experience outages, errors, latency, data inaccuracies, or discontinuation of service.
  • The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide continuity of service, but cannot guarantee uninterrupted access to any Third-Party Provider's platform or data services.
  • The Company is not liable for losses, disqualifications, or adverse outcomes arising from Third-Party Provider failures, except as expressly provided in the Refund Policy.

4. Market Data Providers

Price data, quotes, and market information displayed within the Company's platform or website are sourced from one or more third-party market data providers. This data:

  • Is provided for informational and simulation purposes only and does not constitute a real-time consolidated feed suitable for live order routing or investment decisions.
  • May be delayed, consolidated from multiple exchanges, or derived from synthetic pricing models.
  • Is not guaranteed to be accurate, complete, or current. Neither the Company nor any data provider warrants the accuracy or fitness of such data for any particular purpose.
  • Does not constitute investment advice, a solicitation to buy or sell any security or futures contract, or a recommendation of any trading strategy.

5. Payment Processors

Program fees are processed through third-party payment processing services. The Company does not store complete credit card numbers or sensitive payment credentials on its own servers. Payment transactions are subject to the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of the applicable payment processor. The Company is not responsible for errors, failures, or unauthorized access that occurs within the payment processor's systems, except to the extent required by applicable law.

6. Payout and Disbursement Services

Approved profit allocations to program participants may be disbursed through third-party payment or disbursement services. The availability and timing of disbursements depend in part on the operational status of such services. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to process approved payouts in a timely manner but is not responsible for delays caused by third-party disbursement providers, banking institutions, or payment network issues.

7. External Links and Referenced Services

The Company's website may contain links to third-party websites or references to external services for informational purposes. The Company does not control such third-party websites or services and is not responsible for their content, accuracy, privacy practices, or availability. Inclusion of a link or reference does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation of the linked site or service. You access external websites and services at your own risk and subject to their own terms and conditions.

8. Regulatory and Legal Status of Providers

The Company does not represent or warrant that any Third-Party Provider is licensed, registered, or compliant with any specific regulatory requirement applicable in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for independently verifying the regulatory status and suitability of any Third-Party Provider whose services you choose to use in connection with your trading activities.

9. Changes to Provider Relationships

The Company reserves the right to change, replace, or discontinue relationships with any Third-Party Provider at any time, with or without notice. Such changes may affect the availability or features of the Company's programs. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to active program participants and to communicate material changes in advance where practicable.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and successors from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your reliance on any Third-Party Provider's services, data, or communications, or your use of any third-party platform accessed through or in connection with the Company's programs.

11. Minnesota Law

This Disclaimer is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising under this Disclaimer are subject to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in the Company's Terms of Service, including mandatory arbitration under the Minnesota Uniform Arbitration Act (Minn. Stat. Chapter 572B).
