1) About Us and the Service

Trading the Breaking (the “Service”) is a subscription newsletter and related content (email issues, posts, PDFs, comments, community features, and any downloadable material) offered by Quant Beckman. Access is provided via paid and/or free tiers. These Terms form a binding contract between you and us.

Regulatory note (Spain/EU): We are an information society service provider; we display our identifying information above as required by Spain’s LSSI. BOE

2) Eligibility

You must be 18+ and capable of entering into a binding agreement. You may use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes only unless we grant written permission.

3) No Investment Advice / Educational Use Only

All content is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not investment or financial advice, and does not constitute an offer, solicitation, or recommendation to buy or sell any security or instrument. Markets involve risk, including loss of principal. You are solely responsible for your decisions and for seeking professional advice.

4) Accounts, Access, and Fair Use

  • You must keep credentials confidential and not share paid content outside your account.

  • No scraping, bulk downloading, reposting, or redistributing behind paywalls or into public repositories without our prior written consent.

  • We may apply technical controls (watermarks, link tokens, view limits) to deter unauthorized distribution and to support dispute evidence.

5) Subscriptions, Billing, and Auto-Renewal

  • Paid plans auto-renew monthly/annually (as selected) until cancelled. You authorize recurring charges to your payment method via our processor (e.g., Stripe/Substack).

  • Price changes will be notified in advance and take effect on the next term.

  • Taxes may apply depending on your country.

6) Trials, Cancellations, Refunds

  • Cancel anytime effective at the end of the current billing period (access continues until term end).

  • Refunds. Because digital content is delivered immediately, refunds are generally not provided after access has begun, except where required by law. Under EU rules, consumers typically have a 14-day withdrawal right for distance services, but that right can be waived once digital content performance begins with your prior express consent. During checkout we request that consent to enable immediate access. EUR-Lex

If you prefer to keep your 14-day withdrawal right, do not check the “immediate access” consent box at checkout; access will begin only after the withdrawal period ends.

7) Chargebacks & Disputes (Pre-Arbitration Resolution)

To prevent misuse and speed resolution:

  • Contact us first at quantbeckman@gmail.com with your order email, receipt, and the issue. We’ll investigate and aim to resolve within 7 business days.

  • We maintain delivery logs, email-open events, and download timestamps to evidence access for billing cycles, which may be shared with the processor during disputes.

  • Unauthorized use (e.g., sharing paid posts/files) may lead to account suspension and claim of damages.

Keeping clear pre-dispute steps and delivery evidence helps in card-network reviews and Stripe disputes. (EU consumer rules still apply.) Administración

8) Content and Intellectual Property

All content (text, images, PDFs, code snippets, and trademarks) is owned by us or our licensors. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable license to view and download for personal use. You may quote short excerpts with attribution and link back, but full reposts or systematic sharing are prohibited.

9) User Submissions

If you comment or post, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, display, and distribute that content in connection with the Service. Don’t post anything unlawful, defamatory, or violating others’ rights. We may moderate or remove content.

10) Third-Party Services

We rely on third parties (e.g., Substack for publishing and Stripe for payments). Their separate terms may apply to your use within their platforms.

11) Availability and Changes

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of the Service. Material changes to these Terms will be notified; continued use after notice indicates acceptance.

12) Warranties and Liability

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties and limit our aggregate liability arising from or related to the Service to the amount you paid in the 12 months preceding the claim. Nothing excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

13) Compliance & Governing Law

  • You agree to comply with all applicable laws (including market-abuse, securities-promotion, and export rules).

  • These Terms are governed by Spanish law.

  • Venue: Courts of [City, Spain], unless mandatory consumer venue rules provide otherwise.

LSSI requires provider identification and regulates online contracting and commercial communications in Spain. BOE
