Terms of Service
Last updated: 9 October 2026 · Effective immediately upon acceptance | MAGORO SMART SYSTEMS (Pty) Ltd | Reg: 2026/765885/07 | Tax Ref: 9467556805 | PayFast Compliant
1. Acceptance of Terms and Operator
TradeIQ Mentor (the "Service") is operated by MAGORO SMART SYSTEMS (Pty) Ltd, company registration 2026/765885/07, South Africa. These terms apply to all visitors, registered users, and subscribers. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these terms and the Privacy Policy. For inquiries, contact support@tradeiqmentor.com.
By accessing or using TradeIQ Mentor ("the Service", "the App"), operated by Magoro Smart Systems ("we", "us", "our") / MAGORO SMART SYSTEMS (Pty) Ltd, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Service.
2. Description of Service
TradeIQ Mentor is an AI-powered trading discipline and journaling application. The Service provides tools including but not limited to: market briefings, trade journaling, discipline scoring, AI-assisted mentoring, economic calendar data, and session notifications. Free tier logs trades manually or imports MT5 history file — no live connection, so no positions strip or Risk Shield, but full journaling and discipline scoring still work. Pro adds a live connection, the full AI mentor, and Risk Shield suggestions you approve. Elite adds full automation — Risk Shield executes on its own — plus unlimited accounts. Pro is capped at 3 accounts, Elite is unlimited.
The Service is intended to support trader education and discipline. It is not a licensed financial advisory service, investment advisor, broker-dealer, or trading signal provider. TradeIQ Mentor is an educational and discipline tool. It does not provide trading signals, execute trades on your behalf, or offer financial, investment, or personalised trading advice. AI-generated content may be incomplete or incorrect and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for financial decisions.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction to enter into a binding agreement. The Service is not available to users in jurisdictions where such services are restricted or prohibited. You must be legally able to enter into a binding agreement in your jurisdiction.
4. Account Registration & Security
To access certain features, you must register for an account using a valid email address or Google account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or pose a security risk. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide, safeguarding your login credentials, and all activity under your account.
5. Plans, Prices, and Recurring Billing
TradeIQ Mentor offers free and paid subscription tiers. Paid subscriptions are billed monthly in South African Rand (ZAR) on a recurring basis unless cancelled. Prices are displayed at the time of purchase and may change with 30 days' notice. The current public pricing as displayed on the landing page is: Free — R0 per month; Pro — R299 per month; Elite — R449 per month; and a Founding Member Pro rate of R149 per month for the first 50 qualifying members, subject to availability and the offer at checkout. The Founding Member rate is a limited offer enforced by the payment system itself, not marketing copy. Spots remaining are shown live in Settings → Plan inside the app.
Paid plans are recurring monthly subscriptions in South African Rand (ZAR), unless cancelled. The price, billing frequency, and any applicable offer displayed at checkout should be reviewed before authorising a transaction. Do not rely on the price in this document if the checkout page displays a different price; the checkout disclosure should be corrected before the transaction is accepted. All payments are processed securely through PayFast, a South African payment gateway. We do not store your payment card details — card information is handled entirely by PayFast. Payment authorisation permits the recurring charges disclosed at checkout until the subscription is cancelled or ends. Refunds are provided at our discretion for billing errors or service failures. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; no further charges are made after cancellation.
6. Cancellation and Renewal
You may cancel a paid subscription through the account settings panel (Settings → Plan) if the self-service option is available. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period, and no further recurring charges are made after cancellation. Retain any cancellation confirmation. If self-service is unavailable or does not function, contact support@tradeiqmentor.com. Cancellation stops future renewals; it does not automatically reverse a payment already collected for the current period. This does not limit any refund or cancellation rights that apply under mandatory law. Full details are in the Cancellation Policy.
7. Refunds and Failed Upgrades
Refund requests are reviewed under the Refund Policy. If a successful payment does not activate the purchased plan, report it promptly to support@tradeiqmentor.com, including the PayFast transaction reference, the account email, and proof of payment. We will verify the transaction and either correct the subscription entitlement or arrange an appropriate refund if the paid service cannot be supplied. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, including any rights under South African consumer protection or electronic communications laws. Refund decisions comply with mandatory consumer law. There is no blanket 30-day forfeiture window for failed upgrades.
8. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Service to: (a) violate any applicable law or regulation; (b) transmit harmful, offensive, or fraudulent content; (c) attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the source code; (d) use automated means to access the Service without our express permission; (e) impersonate another person or entity; (f) interfere with the operation of the Service. You must not use the Service unlawfully, attempt unauthorised access, interfere with its operation, impersonate others, transmit malicious content, or reverse engineer the Service except as permitted by law. We may restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect users, the Service, or ensure legal compliance.
9. Intellectual Property
All content, features, functionality, design, code, and branding of the Service — including but not limited to the TradeIQ Mentor name, logo, Solfeggio sound engine, AI mentor system, and discipline scoring methodology — are owned exclusively by Magoro Smart Systems and are protected by copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes. Nothing in these terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you.
10. AI-Generated Content
The AI Mentor Chat feature uses Claude AI (Anthropic) to generate responses. AI-generated content is provided for educational and informational purposes only. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of AI-generated responses for any specific trading situation. You acknowledge that AI responses are not personalised financial advice and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for any trading decision.
11. Broker Connectivity & Automated Actions
If you connect a MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 broker account, you authorise the Service to read your account data (balance, equity, open positions, trade history) and — where you have enabled Risk Shield / AutoShield features — to modify stop-loss levels on your open positions strictly according to the rules you configure. The Service never opens or closes positions on its own initiative and never places new trades.
Automated actions are performed on a best-effort basis. Execution is not guaranteed: connectivity interruptions, broker-side rejections (for example, a stop level too close to the market price), platform maintenance, or market conditions can prevent or delay a modification. Positions without a stop loss are not managed by automated features, and the Service will tell you so. You remain solely responsible for monitoring and managing your own positions at all times.
Broker connectivity is provided via MetaApi (agiliumtrade.ai). Your broker credentials are transmitted to MetaApi to provision the connection and are subject to MetaApi's terms and privacy policy. You may disconnect an account at any time from Settings. TradeIQ Mentor supports MT4 and MT5 only. No separate MetaApi dashboard or extra signup needed — TradeIQ handles provisioning behind the scenes.
12. Trading and Market Risk, Availability & Limitation of Liability
Trading foreign exchange, CFDs, and other financial instruments involves substantial risk and may not be suitable for all individuals. Leverage can increase losses, and you may lose more than your initial investment depending on the instrument and account terms. Past performance does not guarantee future results. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and should seek independent professional advice where appropriate.
The Service may rely on third-party providers for hosting, AI processing, broker connectivity, payments, market data, economic calendar feeds, and chart widgets. Third-party services may be unavailable or may change. Market data is not guaranteed to be accurate, complete, or timely. We will take reasonable steps to operate the Service but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Magoro Smart Systems shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, trading losses, loss of data, or loss of goodwill — arising from your use of or inability to use the Service. Our total liability to you for any claims arising from these terms or your use of the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid for the Service in the 12 months preceding the claim. Nothing in these terms excludes liability where doing so would be unlawful.
13. Termination, Privacy, Changes, and Governing Law
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that we determine violates these terms or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately.
Personal information is handled as described in the Privacy Policy. We may update the Service or these terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the Service or by email when practicable.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any disputes arising from these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of South Africa, subject to mandatory consumer protections and any mandatory rules in the user's jurisdiction.
14. Contact & Risk Disclaimer

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Market data is sourced from third-party providers and is not guaranteed to be accurate, complete, or timely.

Cancellation Policy
Last updated: 9 October 2026 | MAGORO SMART SYSTEMS (Pty) Ltd | Reg: 2026/765885/07 | Tax Ref: 9467556805
1. Cancellation Instructions
Cancellations become effective at the end of the current paid billing period and prevent further recurring charges. To cancel, sign in and use the subscription or cancellation control in your account settings panel (Settings → Plan), if available. Save the confirmation provided by the application. If you cannot locate the cancellation control or encounter issues, email support@tradeiqmentor.com with your account email and subscription or transaction reference. Paid subscriptions are billed monthly in South African Rand (ZAR) on a recurring basis unless cancelled.
2. Effective Date of Cancellation
Unless otherwise stated at checkout or in your account, cancellation prevents the next renewal. Paid access continues through the end of the current billing period. Canceling does not reverse completed payments or automatically refund unused time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; no further charges are made after cancellation.
3. Renewal Timing and Recommendations
Submit your cancellation request well before your next renewal date. Payment processing times and time zones may affect when charges are applied, so early action is recommended. Keep your cancellation confirmation and contact support if a renewal occurs after confirmed cancellation.
4. Refunds and Legal Rights
Refunds are governed by the Refund Policy. If you believe you were charged after a valid cancellation, email support@tradeiqmentor.com with your payment details for review. This policy does not limit any non-excludable legal rights. Refunds are provided at our discretion for billing errors or service failures, subject to mandatory consumer law.
5. Account Closure and Data Deletion
Subscription cancellation and account deletion are separate actions. To close your account or request deletion of personal data, contact support@tradeiqmentor.com. Records may be retained where required by law. If you delete your account, personal data will be deleted within 30 days, except where retention is required by law, as per the Privacy Policy.
Refund Policy
Last updated: 9 October 2026 | MAGORO SMART SYSTEMS (Pty) Ltd | Reg: 2026/765885/07 | Tax Ref: 9467556805 | PayFast Compliant
Refund decisions comply with mandatory consumer law. There is no blanket 30-day forfeiture window for failed upgrades.
As per landing page: 'Refunds are provided at our discretion for billing errors or service failures. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; no further charges are made after cancellation.'
1. Policy Scope
This policy covers refund requests for TradeIQ Mentor subscriptions paid through PayFast in South African Rand (ZAR). It should be read in conjunction with the Terms and Conditions and Cancellation Policy and the Subscription & Payment section of the landing page. For assistance, contact support@tradeiqmentor.com.
2. General Approach
Cancellation of a subscription stops future renewals according to the subscription terms; it does not automatically trigger a refund for the unused portion of the current billing period. Subscription fees are generally not refundable if a user changes their mind, does not use the Service, or cancels after a renewal. This general rule is subject to applicable law and the exceptions below. Paid subscriptions are billed monthly in South African Rand (ZAR) on a recurring basis unless cancelled.
3. When to Contact Support
Contact support if you believe you were charged twice, the amount charged differs from what was authorized at checkout, a payment was collected after an effective cancellation, or a successful payment did not activate the purchased plan. For a failed upgrade, provide the account email, PayFast transaction reference, transaction date, and proof of payment. A pending authorization or incomplete payment may not represent a settled transaction; status will be verified before determining next steps.
4. Failed Payment Provisioning
If PayFast confirms that payment succeeded but the paid subscription did not activate, we will investigate and seek to restore the paid entitlement promptly. If the entitlement cannot be supplied, a refund to the original payment method will be considered. We aim to acknowledge and investigate a complete report within five business days; this is a service target, not a waiver of any legal deadline or consumer right. Where a refund is approved and initiated through PayFast, the time for funds to appear depends on PayFast, the payment method, and the relevant bank or card provider. Specific bank-processing times cannot be guaranteed.
5. Duplicate Payments and Verified Overpayments
If our records confirm a duplicate subscription charge or an accidental overpayment resulting in a genuine cash credit, we will review the transaction and, where appropriate, refund the verified amount to the original payment method. Promotional discounts, vouchers, or courtesy benefits have no cash value and are not refundable unless required by law.
6. Legal Rights
This policy does not exclude or limit any refund, withdrawal, cancellation, or other right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. If mandatory consumer law provides a remedy in your circumstances, that law takes precedence over any inconsistent wording in this policy. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, including any rights under South African consumer protection or electronic communications laws.
7. Submitting a Refund Request
Email support@tradeiqmentor.com with the subject line "TradeIQ Mentor refund request." Include your account email, transaction reference, date, amount, reason for the request, and any relevant supporting evidence. Do not email full card numbers, passwords, or other sensitive authentication credentials. We will review your request, may ask reasonable follow-up questions, and communicate the outcome. Approved refunds will normally be processed through the original payment channel where possible.
