Terms of Use & Legal Disclaimer
Last Updated: June 13, 2026
Welcome to Signal & Value (accessible via sinalevalor.com). This document contains two critical sections: the Legal & Financial Disclaimer, which defines the scope and limitations of our data, and the Terms of Use, which govern your access to the Website and our Substack publications.
By accessing, browsing, or subscribing to Signal & Value, you explicitly acknowledge and agree to be bound by the entirety of this document.
PART I: LEGAL & FINANCIAL DISCLAIMER
1. No Financial, Investment, or Trading Advice
Signal & Value operates strictly as an independent macro-telemetry and academic research laboratory. The content, data dashboards, articles, essays, and telemetry readings provided on this Website and associated newsletters (e.g., Substack) are for educational, observational, and theoretical purposes only.
Nothing published on this Website constitutes, nor should it be construed as, financial advice, investment recommendations, portfolio management, or a solicitation to buy or sell any financial instruments, securities, commodities, or derivatives. We are not registered financial advisors, brokers, or dealers in any jurisdiction.
2. Epistemological and Academic Scope
Our infrastructure tracks systemic friction, bureaucratic entropy, and thermodynamic resource flows. The metrics displayed (such as VIX derivatives, SOFR rates, Credit Spreads, and commodity deltas) are part of a theoretical framework designed to observe macroeconomic asymmetry. Any interpretation of these metrics as actionable “trading signals” is done entirely at your own risk.
3. Data Accuracy and “As-Is” Provision
The telemetry dashboards on this Website rely on data aggregated from third-party Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), including but not limited to the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) and open-source financial feeds.
While we strive for analytical rigor, we make no warranties or guarantees regarding the real-time accuracy, latency, completeness, or reliability of the data presented. The system is subject to API downtimes, network routing delays, and asynchronous processing errors. The data and content are provided strictly on an “AS-IS” and “AS-AVAILABLE” basis.
4. Assumption of Risk
Financial markets are inherently volatile and structurally complex. Any actions you take based on the theories, algorithms, or data models discussed on Signal & Value are your sole responsibility. We categorically disclaim any liability for financial losses, capital destruction, or margin calls resulting from the use or misinterpretation of our analytical publications.
PART II: TERMS OF USE (USER AGREEMENT)
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing the Website or subscribing to our external publishing platforms, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Use. If you disagree with any part of these terms, you must immediately cease usage of the Website and our services.
2. Intellectual Property Rights
All original content, including but not limited to sociological essays, theoretical manifestos, telemetry algorithms, dashboard designs, Python/C++ logic structures, and the underlying conceptual framework of “Fiduciary Entropy” and “Unfiltered Telemetry,” are the exclusive intellectual property of Signal & Value and its creator.
You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to access and read the content for personal, non-commercial use. You may not reproduce, scrape, mirror, republish, or commercially monetize our articles, data feeds, or code logic without prior written and explicit consent.
3. User Conduct and System Integrity
When accessing our Website, you agree not to:
- Engage in any activity that disrupts, overloads, or compromises the integrity of our local servers or external hosting infrastructure (e.g., DDoS attacks, aggressive automated scraping).
- Attempt to bypass security measures, reverse-engineer the telemetry logic, or manipulate the data pipelines connecting our hardware to the web front-end.
- Use our theoretical content to train commercial Artificial Intelligence (LLMs) or algorithmic trading bots without authorization.
4. Third-Party Links and Subscriptions
The Website may contain links to external websites, academic sources, or independent subscription networks (such as Substack). We do not endorse, monitor, or hold responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or operational integrity of these third-party domains. Your engagement with external platforms is governed by their respective User Agreements.
5. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Signal & Value, its creator, affiliates, and technical partners shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising out of your access to, use of, or inability to use the Website. This includes, but is not limited to, damages for loss of profits, data corruption, or business interruption, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
6. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Signal & Value and its creator from any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, or legal fees arising out of your violation of these Terms of Use or your misuse of the Website’s analytical data.
7. Modifications to the Terms and Infrastructure
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Website—including telemetry feeds, theoretical publications, or these Terms of Use—at our sole discretion and without prior notice. Continued use of the Website following any modifications to this document constitutes your acceptance of the new terms.
8. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms of Use and any separate agreements whereby we provide you services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, specifically the jurisdiction of the State of São Paulo, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any legal disputes arising from these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in this region.
