These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Bao Research ("we", "us", "our"), based in Minnesota, United States, governing your access to and use of AIM Volatility Lab at https://aimvolatilitylab.com (the "Service").

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, which are incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service.

You agree to provide accurate registration information, to keep your credentials confidential, and to notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

Paid plans are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annual) through our payment processor, Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges until you cancel.

Free trials, where offered, convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period unless cancelled beforehand. You can cancel at any time from the Billing page; access continues until the end of the current billing period, and no further charges are made.

Prices and plan features may change; we will give reasonable notice of any price change before it applies to your renewal. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable for partial billing periods.

AIM Volatility Lab is a research and educational tool. Its backtests, simulations, forecasts, verdicts, and signals are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute financial, investment, tax, or trading advice, nor a recommendation or solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Bao Research is not a broker-dealer, registered investment adviser, or fiduciary. You are solely responsible for your investment decisions and for evaluating the merits and risks of any strategy or information obtained through the Service.

Please read our Disclaimer, which is part of these Terms, for important information about hypothetical performance and risk.

Price data and other market information is sourced from third-party providers and may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate. It is provided "as is" and "as available" for research use only, and must not be relied upon for live trade execution.

We are not responsible for errors, interruptions, or losses arising from third-party data or services.

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You may not: (a) share, resell, or provide your account access to others; (b) scrape, harvest, or bulk-export data other than through features we provide; (c) reverse engineer, decompile, or copy the Service or its models; (d) probe, disrupt, or circumvent security or usage limits; or (e) use the Service to build a competing product.

Automated access (bots, scripts) is permitted only through documented interfaces we make available and within published rate limits.

You retain ownership of the content you create in the Service (portfolios, presets, journal entries). If you choose to share a preset, strategy duel, or other content publicly, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide license to host and display that content as part of the sharing feature.

We may moderate, hide, or remove shared content that is unlawful, misleading, or harmful. Do not share content you do not have the right to share.

The Service — including its engines, models, interfaces, verdicts, text, and design — is owned by Bao Research and protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your personal, non-commercial research while your account is in good standing.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of any part of the Service without our prior written permission.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that results obtained from it will be accurate or reliable.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BAO RESEARCH SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING TRADING LOSSES, LOST PROFITS, OR LOSS OF DATA — ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or one hundred US dollars ($100), whichever is greater.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Bao Research from any claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Service.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service for conduct that violates these Terms or that we reasonably believe is harmful to other users, us, or the Service. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law) will survive.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Minnesota, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced through the Service or by email before they take effect. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
