Terms of Service
Last updated: 5 October 2026
BlackTick is an educational and informational tool, not financial advice. We surface options-flow and market data to help you do your own research. Nothing on BlackTick is a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and we are not a broker, dealer, or investment adviser. Options trading carries a substantial risk of loss. You are solely responsible for your own trading decisions.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and BlackTick (“BlackTick”, “we”, “us”), the operator of blacktick.io (the “Service”). By creating an account, subscribing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. What BlackTick is — and is not

BlackTick provides real-time and historical options-flow, dark-pool, and related market data and analytics for educational and informational purposes only. We are not a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser, or financial planner, and we do not provide personalized investment advice. No content on the Service is a recommendation, solicitation, or offer to buy or sell any security or to adopt any trading strategy. You make all trading decisions yourself and at your own risk.

3. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. You agree to provide accurate information, to keep your password confidential, and to be responsible for all activity under your account. Notify us at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized use. One account is for one person; accounts may not be shared.

4. Plans, pricing and billing

BlackTick offers a free tier and a paid Pro subscription. Pro is available as $50.00 USD per month or $20.00 USD per week, at the price shown at checkout. Payments are processed by our payment provider, Stripe; by subscribing you authorize us (through Stripe) to charge your payment method for the plan you select.

5. Automatic renewal — please read

Your Pro subscription renews automatically. At the end of each billing period (each week for the weekly plan, each month for the monthly plan) your subscription will automatically renew and your payment method will be charged the then-current price for the next period, until you cancel. We will present renewal terms clearly before you purchase. If the price changes, we will give you notice before it applies to a renewal.

6. Cancellation and refunds

You may cancel at any time from your account or by emailing [email protected]. When you cancel, your subscription stops renewing and you keep Pro access through the end of the period you have already paid for. Payments are non-refundable and we do not provide partial or pro-rated refunds for unused time, except where a refund is required by applicable law.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to: resell, redistribute, scrape, or create derivative data feeds from the Service; share, resell, or sublicense your account; reverse engineer or attempt to bypass access controls or subscription tiers; use the Service to violate any law or any third party’s rights; or interfere with the Service’s operation or security.

8. Market data and third-party sources

Market data is obtained from third-party providers and is provided “as is.” It may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate, and may differ from your broker or other sources. We do not guarantee the accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of any data, signal, score, or analytic on the Service.

9. No warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any result (including any trade outcome) will be achieved.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, BlackTick will not be liable for any trading or investment losses, or for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or US$100.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold BlackTick harmless from any claims, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your trading decisions, or your breach of these Terms.

12. Changes to the Service and these Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service, and we may update these Terms. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or use the Service unlawfully. You may stop using the Service at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (e.g. disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity) will survive.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in California for any dispute not subject to arbitration or small-claims resolution.
