Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of deepfunded.com (the "Website"), our simulated prop-trading challenge programs, and all related services (together, the "Services"). By creating an account, purchasing a Challenge, or using the Services in any way, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Services.

These Terms also constitute the terms of providing services by electronic means (regulamin świadczenia usług drogą elektroniczną) within the meaning of the Polish Act of 18 July 2002 on Providing Services by Electronic Means.

1. Who We Are

Note: Polish company law (Art. 206 of the Commercial Companies Code) requires the firm name, registered office and address, registration court and KRS number, NIP, and share capital to appear on the company's website and commercial correspondence. This block should also be reproduced in the Website footer or a legal-notice page once the company is registered.

2. Definitions

• Challenge — a paid, simulated trading evaluation configured by you on the Website (account size, challenge type, risk parameters, profit split and other settings shown at checkout).
• Funded Account — a simulated trading account made available after passing a Challenge, from which performance-based rewards ("Payouts") may be earned under these Terms and the Rules.
• Rules — the detailed trading rules published at deepfunded.com/rules, which form an integral part of these Terms. The specific parameters you select at checkout prevail over the general values shown in the Rules.
• Consumer — a natural person entering into a contract with us for purposes not directly related to their business or professional activity.
• Entrepreneur with consumer rights — a sole trader entering into a contract directly related to their business activity where the contract is not of a professional character for them; such persons benefit from the consumer protections indicated in these Terms to the extent provided by Polish law.

3. Nature of the Services — Simulated Trading Only

We provide one-step and two-step simulated trading evaluations, including fully customizable "Build Your Own Challenge" configurations. All trading within the Services takes place exclusively in a simulated (demo) environment using virtual funds. No orders are transmitted to any real market, no real financial instruments are bought or sold, and no client money is accepted for investment.

Trading platform access is provided through [MetaTrader / Match-Trader / platform provider — confirm before launch]. The Services are provided for evaluation, educational and entertainment purposes.

4. Technical Requirements and Electronic Services

To use the Services you need: a device with internet access, an up-to-date web browser with JavaScript and cookies enabled, and an active e-mail address. You must not supply unlawful content through the Website.

The contract for free electronic services (account, dashboard) is concluded when you register and terminates when your account is closed. The contract for a Challenge is concluded when your payment is confirmed at checkout.

5. Eligibility and Geographic Restrictions

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services.

We do not accept users from the following high-risk or sanctioned countries (this list may be updated where sanctions or risk assessments change):

Afghanistan, Belarus, Burundi, Central African Republic, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Myanmar, North Korea, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, Yemen, and any other country subject to international sanctions, high AML risk, or active conflict.

We may verify location using IP-based geolocation. Using VPNs or proxies to conceal your location or identity in order to circumvent these restrictions is a material breach of these Terms and may lead to termination under Section 16.

6. User Accounts

• Each person may hold a maximum of 5 active or concurrent Challenges at any time.
• Accounts are personal and non-transferable. Account sharing and third-party trading on your account are strictly prohibited.
• You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity under your account.
• We may suspend accounts reasonably suspected of fraud, abuse, or breach of these Terms while we investigate; Section 16 applies to termination.

7. Challenge Purchase, Prices and Payment

The price of a Challenge is calculated dynamically from the parameters you select and is displayed before payment. The price shown at checkout is the total price including applicable VAT [confirm VAT treatment with your accountant].

Payments are processed by our third-party payment provider [Paydiverse — insert full legal name and address]. We do not store your full card details ourselves.

Initiating a chargeback in bad faith (i.e., for a Service that was delivered in accordance with these Terms) is a material breach and may result in suspension of your account and any pending Payouts until the dispute is resolved.

8. Right of Withdrawal (Consumers)

If you are a Consumer (or an entrepreneur with consumer rights), you have the statutory right to withdraw from a distance contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

By purchasing a Challenge you expressly request that we begin providing the Service (access to the evaluation environment) immediately, before the end of the withdrawal period, and you acknowledge that:

• if you withdraw within 14 days before placing any trade on your Challenge account, we will refund the full Challenge fee within 14 days of receiving your withdrawal statement;
• if you have begun the evaluation (placed at least one trade), the Service has been performed to that extent at your express request; you lose the right of withdrawal once the Service has been fully performed, and in the case of withdrawal before full performance we may deduct an amount proportionate to the extent of the Service already provided;
• failing a Challenge is a result of the Service being performed, not grounds for a refund.

To withdraw, send an unequivocal statement to [email protected] (e.g., "I hereby withdraw from my contract for Challenge no. [order number]"). We will confirm receipt by e-mail.

9. Funded Accounts and Payouts

• Your profit split is the split you selected when building your Challenge (from 70/30 up to 90/10 in the trader's favour; the default configuration is 75/25).
• Payouts are conditional on: (a) compliance with these Terms and the Rules, verified by our risk engine and, where necessary, manual review; and (b) completed identity verification (Section 11).
• Once compliance and identity are verified, we aim to process Payouts within 1 business day. This is a service target, not a guaranteed deadline.
• We may withhold a Payout only where we have established a breach of these Terms or the Rules, or manipulation or fraud, and we will state the reasons in writing. You may contest any such decision through the complaints procedure in Section 12.
• Payouts are gross amounts. You are solely responsible for declaring and paying any taxes due on amounts you receive from us in your country of tax residence.

10. Prohibited Practices

The following practices constitute a material breach and lead to failure of the affected Challenge or Funded Account and may lead to termination under Section 16 and forfeiture of Payouts attributable to the prohibited conduct:

• Exploiting price delays, data errors, or platform glitches;
• High-Frequency Trading (HFT) and latency arbitrage;
• News trading on Funded Accounts, to the extent set out in the Rules;
• Coordinated or opposite ("group hedging") trading across accounts;
• Any form of account sharing or third-party trading;
• Use of VPNs or proxies to conceal location or identity;
• Any other manipulative or fraudulent behaviour described in the Rules.

11. Identity Verification (KYC)

Identity verification is performed through our verification partner Sum and Substance Ltd (Sumsub) and includes a government-issued ID and a liveness check. Verification is required before your first Payout on a Funded Account, and we may reasonably request it earlier where we detect suspicious activity or where required by law. Failure to complete requested verification suspends Payouts until verification is completed. The processing of your verification data is described in our Privacy Policy.

12. Complaints (Reklamacje)

Complaints about the Services can be submitted to [email protected]. Please include your account e-mail, order or account number, and a description of the issue. We respond to Consumer complaints within 14 days of receipt. If we do not respond within that period, the complaint is deemed accepted to the extent provided by law.

13. Intellectual Property

The Website, the DeepFunded name and logo, the challenge builder, pricing engine, dashboards and all related content are our property or licensed to us. You receive a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Services for their intended purpose. You may not copy, resell, reverse-engineer, or create derivative services from them.

14. Risk Disclosure; No Advice

Trading, even in a simulated environment, involves significant risk of failing the evaluation and losing the Challenge fee. Past performance in simulation does not indicate future results. We do not provide financial, investment, tax, or trading advice; all trading decisions are your own. You acknowledge that the amount at risk is limited to the Challenge fees you choose to pay.

15. Liability

We provide the Services with due professional care. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damage, loss of anticipated profits (including simulated profits), or interruptions attributable to third-party platforms and providers, and our total liability to users who are not Consumers is limited to the fees paid by that user in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to liability.

16. Term and Termination

By you: You may close your account at any time via the dashboard or by contacting support. Fees for Challenges already commenced are settled in accordance with Section 8.

By us, for cause: We may terminate your account with immediate effect in the event of a material breach of these Terms or the Rules (including Prohibited Practices, chargeback abuse, circumvention of geographic restrictions, or fraud), stating the reason. Amounts attributable to the breach are forfeited; other accrued rights are settled in accordance with law.

By us, for convenience: We may terminate the free electronic services with 14 days' notice by e-mail. If we discontinue a paid Service you have purchased, Consumers receive a refund proportionate to the unused part of that Service.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may amend these Terms for valid reasons (legal changes, changes to the Services, security). Registered users will be notified by e-mail at least 14 days before changes take effect. If you do not accept the changes, you may terminate your account before the effective date; Challenges purchased before the change remain governed by the version accepted at purchase. The current version is always available on the Website.

18. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by Polish law. If you are a Consumer habitually resident in another EU/EEA state, you additionally enjoy the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and nothing in these Terms deprives you of the right to bring or defend proceedings in the courts having jurisdiction under generally applicable law.

For users who are not Consumers, the courts having jurisdiction over our registered office are competent.

Out-of-court dispute resolution: A Consumer may use out-of-court complaint and redress mechanisms, including mediation before the competent Voivodeship Inspector of Trade Inspection or assistance from a municipal (district) consumer ombudsman; details are available at uokik.gov.pl. We will state our position on participating in a given ADR procedure in response to the complaint concerned. (The former EU Online Dispute Resolution platform was discontinued by the European Commission on 20 July 2025 and is no longer available.)

19. Final Provisions

• If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or ineffective, the remaining provisions remain in force, and the invalid provision is replaced by a valid one closest to its purpose.
• We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms to a group company or an acquirer of the business; your statutory rights are unaffected.
• These Terms, the Rules, the parameters confirmed at checkout, and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services.
• These Terms are drawn up in English. [If a Polish version is published, indicate here which language version prevails.]

By checking the box during purchase or by using our Services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and the Rules.
