T&C | applecore

How much research you decide to conduct before risking everything you own is down to you, not us. So don’t blame us if a trade turns to shit! Remember, if it’s raining and you’re carrying an umbrella but decide not to use it, then you’re the idiot.

At Applecore, we provide general information, educational resources, and insights on stock market analysis. Think of us as your guide to understanding the markets better, but not your financial guru. The content we provide is intended solely for informational, educational, and entertainment purposes and DOES NOT constitute financial or trading advice. We don’t offer personalized investment recommendations (no crystal ball here!), and any decisions you make based on the information provided on this website, forum, or through any group discussions or private chats are entirely at your own risk/reward.

1: Our indicators:

We offer various financial market indicators as part of our platform for members. While these tools are designed to assist with analysis, they should not be construed as definitive trading signals, advice or guarantees of success. The indicators are for informational, educational, and entertainment purposes only, and their use is entirely at the user's discretion. We do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, effectiveness, or suitability of these indicators for any particular trading strategy.

A WORD OF WARNING!
No indicator or signal is 'risk-free' or guarantees results. You must take the time to understand them and practice using them before putting real money on the line. Use at your own risk/reward!

Indicators Are Not Signals
These indicators are NOT ‘signals’ for when to enter or exit a position. WE DO NOT OFFER A SIGNALS SERVICE, and relying on any ‘signal’ without fully understanding how and why it was generated is essentially ‘copy trading’ - which is risky and, frankly, idiotic. The key is to understand the indicator itself, how it works, and how it fits into your market analysis, trading strategy, and risk management. If you use a signal without understanding this simple rule, it’ll be like the blind leading the blinder!

Customisation, Not Magic
We don’t claim that our versions of ‘conventional’ indicators are something entirely new. The only thing ‘new’ is the added flexibility we offer through greater customisation of the indicator’s settings and how results are displayed.
If these conventional indicators didn’t work for you before, they're unlikely to work for you now - just because you can tweak a setting doesn’t mean it’ll produce miraculous results. The effectiveness still depends on how you interpret and apply the data.

Not a ' Miracle Cure'
None of our indicators are a ‘miracle cure’ for poor decision-making, lack of experience, laziness, or general stupidity. To use any indicator properly, you must understand the data it presents. How you interpret that data is a crucial part of your personal trading strategy. Indicators are tools, not shortcuts to success. Your success is built on knowledge, experience, and practice - and having the balls to ‘just do it!’.

Institutional use of our indicators is strictly prohibited

All Applecore indicators are provided solely for personal use. By agreeing to these Terms, you confirm that you will not use them for any institutional, bank, trading house, proprietary trading firm ("prop firm"), or similar professional purposes. This includes but is not limited to activities involving strategy harvesting, indicator reverse-engineering, or IP extraction for internal use, resale, or integration into proprietary systems.
Using the indicators for commercial or professional trading activities constitutes a breach of these Terms and Conditions. Such misuse will result in the immediate suspension or termination of your account without notice and may lead to further action if intellectual property has been compromised. You will be required to confirm this when requesting access to the indicators.

For institutional licensing or commercial use, please contact us directly to discuss available options.

2: Community Member Opinions:
Any members who share advice or opinions within our community are expressing their own personal views and opinions, and these are not representative of Applecore’s stance or guidance. We do not endorse, validate, or accept responsibility for any trading strategies or decisions suggested by members, nor do we take responsibility for any outcomes resulting from the use of our indicators.
While we encourage the sharing of indicator settings to help validate and refine them, we are not responsible for any decisions made based on these settings, and any improvements or edits to the indicators are made with no guarantees. If you're here looking for a quick-fix or ‘get-rich-quick’ strategy, you’re in the wrong place. You’d have better luck playing the lottery (good luck with that!).

3: Conduct Your Own Research:
You should always conduct your own research and, if necessary, consult a licensed financial advisor before making any investment or trading decisions. As previously stated, we are NOT your financial guru (and definitely not your personal advisor)! Trading and investing in financial markets is as risky as standing on the edge of a very high unfenced cliff and having the uncontrollable urge to peer over the edge. To be clear, they carry significant risks, including the potential loss of your entire investment, savings, car, house, partner, and let's not forget - your dignity. We cannot and do not guarantee any particular outcome, profit, or success from using the indicators or any other resources provided on this site. However, when you do get it right, we'd be more than happy to take full credit (Thanks, in advance).

4: Downloads and File sharing:

Any downloadable files, including resources, tools, or materials, are provided for your convenience. However, you use them at your own risk. We make no guarantees about the compatibility, accuracy, or safety of any downloadable files, nor do we assume any responsibility for issues arising from their use. It is your responsibility to ensure you perform due diligence before downloading, including running virus scans, checking for potential malware, and making sure the file aligns with your system’s requirements. If you decide to download anything from our site and your computer turns into what can only be described as a Sinclair Spectrum ZX80 which has made its acquaintance with the heavy end of a mallet, or you encounter any damage (whether to your device, data, or sanity), we will not be held liable—AT ALL!

5: And to close:
By using our website, forum, or any related services, you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for your own actions and decisions, epic or stupid!

“The only thing guaranteed in life is that you’ll have to read these Terms of Service."

1. General Terms
By accessing or using the Applecore website, including the forum, groups, chat system, private messaging, shop, file-sharing pages, resources, and all other content available, you agree to abide by these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully to understand your rights and responsibilities while using our services.

2. User Conduct
As a member of the Applecore community, you agree to engage respectfully with others in all discussions, posts, and messages. We do not tolerate abusive, harmful, illegal, or disruptive behavior. Any actions such as spamming, trolling, or harassing others will result in immediate suspension or termination of your account. 100 years ago, you'd be dragged from your house and shot for such behavior. Unfortunately, the worst we can do legally is revoke your membership!

3. User-Generated Content
Users are responsible for the content they share, upload, or post on any part of this website. By sharing content, you grant Applecore a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, modify, and display such content as part of the services provided. You affirm that you have the right to share any content you post and that it does not infringe on anyone’s intellectual property rights. In other words, if it ain't yours, don't dish it out!

4. You Bought It, You Own It!
Purchases made through the Applecore shop are subject to availability. Prices may fluctuate, but we’ll always do our best to ensure the prices listed are accurate and fair. All sales are final unless otherwise stated. This includes digital products (like custom-built indicators) and physical goods are non-refundable unless there's a defect or a real issue with the item. Please make sure you're aware of specific shipping policies and timelines before making your purchase (see our Shipping & Returns policy).

And just a heads-up: We are not responsible for any damages caused during transit if the delivery driver decides to channel their inner superhero and launch your package from the driver’s seat (because getting out of the van is apparently too much effort). So, if your item arrives looking like it’s been through a blender, don’t blame us!

5. Although magic is real...

At Applecore, we provide a variety of resources, including but not limited to indicators, tools, and educational materials. These resources are here to help guide your understanding of the market, and although we try to make them 'idiot proof', they are not foolproof nor are they “get rich quick” solutions.

a) No Guarantees - meaning, no 'Crystal Ball' predictions! While our indicators and tools are designed to assist in your analysis, we do not guarantee any profits, successes, or predictable outcomes. Using these tools is like driving a car with no GPS - you'll crash and burn if you try to use maps on your phone!

b) Knowledge Is Key (Not Just The Indicator Settings). You are responsible for understanding how to use the resources provided. Just because you have a shiny new indicator doesn't mean you should blindly rely on it. Knowledge, experience, and a solid trading strategy are far more important than any tool. Think of them like spices - they can add flavor to your analysis, but they’re not going to make your meal taste great if you don’t know how to cook!

c) You’re In Control (but also responsible). How you use the resources on this website is entirely your responsibility. We encourage practice and learning before risking real money (or your house), so make sure you're testing everything in a safe space first - like in a padded room with plenty of cushions. Don’t be the person who jumps off the diving board without checking how deep the water is first!

In short, our resources are here to help, but you still need to put in the work. Remember: we provide the map, but you’re the one who has to walk the path.

6: Knowledge is Power, But Don’t Rely on Us for Everything!
The resources available on our site - including but not limited to the book Applecore, Trade with Extreme Prejudice, the extended reading section, and any articles or blog posts — are designed to enhance your understanding of financial market analysis. However, let’s be clear: these are educational tools, not trading or investment advice. Think of them as a compass - they can point you in the right direction, but you’ll still need to steer the ship.
We strongly encourage you to seek professional financial advice before making any investment or trading decisions. Tip: Don't ask your dentist to fix your car if it breaks down, and definitely don’t ask us for specific financial advice. That’s not our job, and frankly, we’d rather not be responsible for you taking out a loan to buy Dogecoin while we’re still learning how to pronounce it.

7. Privacy and Data Usage
By using our services, you agree to our privacy policy, which outlines how your data is collected, used, and protected. We value your privacy and are committed to keeping your personal information as safe as possible - 'virtually' speaking. While our site may exist in the virtual world, we’ll guard your data with the best digital ninjas we can find - except they won’t be dressed in black, so they’ll blend in, and you’ll never know they’re there. Rest assured, your personal information is not for sale, and we’ll never share it with anyone - especially shady outfits like Cambridge Analytica.

8. Account Suspension/Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you violate any of these Terms of Service. In the event of account termination, you will lose access to certain services, including but not limited to the forum, groups, any purchased resources, your confidence, your dignity and your best friends. If we terminate your account for breach of these Terms, no refund will be issued for any unused service. In short - you will pay for your own idiotic actions!

9. Limitation of Liability
Applecore is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or even spiritual damages arising from the use - or inability to use - our website, services, or resources. Whether you're navigating through our site with a Red Bull in hand or using our tools to try to read the stock market's tea leaves, you're doing so at your own risk/reward. We are not responsible for any loss, including financial loss, related to your use of the site or any downloadable files you may access through it. If you choose to download any files or resources, you do so at your own discretion and risk.

So, if your trades turn to crap, or your computer becomes a digital coaster because you didn't do your due diligence, such as running a virus scan on the downloaded files, don't come crying to us like a baby who's dropped their dummy.

10. Amendments to These Terms
Applecore reserves the right to update or modify these Terms of Service at any time, and we’re under no obligation to send you a reminder (although we might, just to be nice). Any changes will be posted on this page, and by continuing to use the site, you’re basically agreeing to the new terms. We recommend you check these Terms regularly - just like you check your phone, but with a bit more responsibility. 'Stay informed', or at least pretend to be.

11. Dispute Resolution
Any disputes related to these Terms of Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the laws of the United Kingdom and Europe. By using our services, you agree to resolve any disputes in this manner - and definitely not with physical violence. Applecore will never ask you to meet at dawn for a dramatic ten paces, turn, and shoot. We’re all about peaceful resolutions - unless it’s a game of rock-paper-scissors, in which case, all bets are off.

“Your privacy is like your underwear: it’s yours, but we can’t guarantee it won’t end up in the wrong hands."

1: How We Use Your Data
We may collect personal data (like your email, preferences, or other info) to make your time on our site more relevant and enjoyable. This means we might use it to suggest groups, forum posts, or blog articles that we think could interest you - but only on this website. What we won’t do is collect your DNA (including blood, hair, or skin), fingerprints, retina scan, or stool sample - because, let’s face it, that’s a completely unnecessary requirement to use any part of the internet, especially our website.

2: Sharing Your Data
Unlike Facebook, we will never sell your data (article 1 / article 2). We won't share your personal information with third parties—especially advertisers who want to bombard you with offers for crap you didn’t ask for. Your data is only used internally to improve your experience of this website. If anyone approaches us with a deal to buy your data, we will politely tell them to take a long walk off a short pier. Your info is for our eyes (and our digital ninjas) only, and we intend to keep it that way.

3: Cookies of the Non-Edible Kind
We use session cookies to enhance your experience on our site (see our cookie policy for more details). These cookies are temporary files that help keep you logged in as you navigate around the members' area. Once you log out or close your browser, the cookie expires - so we’re not keeping you logged in forever. Our cookies are harmless, and we only use them to improve your browsing experience. But if you’re on a 'no-cookie' diet, you can always disable them in your browser settings. Just know that doing so might affect some features of the site.

4: Security: We’ve Got Your Back (Metaphorically Speaking)
Our security measures are designed to keep your personal info safe from hackers, pick-pockets, James Bond villains, or any digital bad guys hanging around like hookers in the red-light district. While we can’t promise an unbreakable system (let’s face it, not even banks can do that), we’re committed to doing everything we can to protect your information. So, while we’re not claiming to be invincible, rest assured that your data is in good hands. Just don’t expect us to stop the digital equivalent of a shark with a laser beam strapped to its forehead swimming around Amity Island looking for late-night skinny-dippers to chew on - because even we can’t handle that level of drama.

5: You Have Rights
You have full control over your personal data. Feel free to ask us to update, correct, or delete it whenever you like (but please, don’t ask us to buy or sell it - we’re not a data marketplace). Just remember, your data is yours, not ours - we respect your rights and we’re not about to turn your info into a public auction.

6: Changes to the Privacy Policy
If we change our Privacy Policy, you’ll know about it. We'll update this page, and if you’re still here after reading all this, it means you’ve agreed to our updated terms. We’ll always try to keep it as easy to understand as possible - no legal jargon. So, if you’re still hanging around after the changes, consider yourself officially informed. We won't chase you down like a desperate ex, but we’ll let you know if anything changes.

“If your product arrives damaged, we’ll handle it better than a market crash."

We’re thrilled that you’ve decided to buy our stock market-related products! We aim to deliver the goods to you faster than a day-trader on cocaine. However, there are a few things you should know about our shipping and returns:

1: All Sales Are Final:

Once you make a purchase you own it, it’s yours. No 'I had a change of mind' story. We get it, sometimes we all wish we could undo things, but just like when you hit 'buy' or 'sell' when trading, the deal is sealed. No returns for 'change of mind'. Are we crystal?!

2. Damaged in Transit?

If your item arrives looking like it’s been through the fast spin cycle in a Dyson washing machine while being dragged behind the high-speed London-to-Birmingham train during rush hour, you must let us know right away. We’ll happily exchange it for a replacement - provided you inform us promptly after receiving the damaged goods. We will do our utmost to track down the delivery driver, box them up, and ship them to Siberia using the same degree of respect they had for your item. (Legally, we must add that we cannot and will not actually do this... but we’ll definitely try to get them to be more careful next time!)

3: Return Shipping?

That’s On You: We’re not covering return shipping costs, my friend. You’ll have to cover the shipping back to us if there’s a need for an exchange. You also won’t get the original shipping cost back, even if you’re trying to return the item because you had a 'late-night drunken online shopping moment'.

4: UK Consumer Law:

Of course, we’ll always follow the UK’s consumer rights law, so don’t worry about being left high and dry. If something’s truly wrong with your product, we will endeavour to get it sorted for you.

To sum up: buy as you should be trading - responsibly. Inspect the item on arrival, and let us know if there’s a problem we can help with. No returns for buyer’s remorse. ¿Comprende?

“We've got our own cookies at Applecore, so don't worry, we won't be munching on yours! But you should probably check your browser history!"

At Applecore, we are committed to respecting your privacy. We do not collect or store any cookies on our website, nor do we track your browsing activity in any way. This Cookies Policy is here to let you know that our website doesn’t use cookies or similar technologies to gather personal information - what you do online (or in your own home) is your business, not ours!

1: What are cookies?

A cookie is a small, usually flat and crisp cake made from sweetened dough. But on the interent they are small files that websites place on your device (whether it’s your computer, tablet, or phone) to store information about your visit, preferences, or behavior while you're browsing. Websites often use cookies to "enhance user experience" (whatever!), track analytics, and deliver personalized content. But, to be honest, they’re primarily used to collect your personal data, often for tracking and advertising purposes (but not us!).

2: Our use of cookies:

We only use session cookies – that’s it! In simple terms, when you log into the members' area, we write a temporary file to your computer that helps keep you logged in as you navigate around the site. This cookie expires once you log out or close your browser, so no worries about us keeping you logged in forever. Other than that, we do not collect or use any cookies on our website. We don’t track, store, or access any personal information through cookies. However, if third-party services (like social media integrations or embedded content) are involved, they may use cookies, and we have no control over them. These third-party cookies are not used to collect personal information via our website. In short, you can browse our site without worrying about cookie tracking or us snooping around your personal data!

3: Third-party cookies:

While we only use session cookies to keep you logged in while browsing our site, some third-party services we use (such as Google Analytics) may set cookies for their own purposes – typically to track website performance or improve their services (yeah, ok!). We have no control over or access to these cookies. If you’d like, you can manage or disable these cookies through your browser settings, or check the relevant third-party’s privacy and cookie policy for more details on how they handle data.

4: Your cookie choices:

Since we only use session cookies on our site when you're logged into the members' area, there’s no need to adjust your browser settings specifically for our site. However, if you'd like to block cookies from third-party services (like Google Analytics), you can manage these settings through your browser. It’s all in your hands!

5: Updates to this policy:

We may update this Cookies Policy occasionally to reflect any changes in our practices (though it’s highly unlikely — we’re passionate about your privacy!). If any changes are made, the updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised date.

If you have any questions or concerns about this Cookies Policy or your privacy on our website, please feel free to contact us.
