Terms of Use
Please read these terms carefully before using IsYourTraderReal.com. By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
Please read these terms carefully before using IsYourTraderReal.com. By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
In these Terms of Use ("Terms"), the following definitions apply unless the context requires otherwise:
By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety, together with our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately cease all use of the Platform.
The Operator reserves the right to modify, amend, or update these Terms at any time without prior notice. Continued use of the Platform following any such modifications constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically.
The Platform operates as a public interest information service and consumer protection resource. Its purpose is to provide transparency in the financial trading education and services industry by publishing factual information, editorial opinions, assessments, and community-sourced reports regarding individuals and entities operating in this sector.
The Operator engages in journalistic, editorial, and investigative activities within the meaning of applicable press, media, and freedom-of-expression laws, including but not limited to:
Investigation Reports published on the Platform constitute editorial opinion and commentary based on available evidence, not statements of absolute fact. They represent the Operator's good-faith assessment based on information available at the time of publication.
Nothing on this Platform constitutes, or should be construed as, financial advice, investment advice, trading advice, legal advice, or any form of professional recommendation. The Platform does not recommend or endorse any financial product, service, trading strategy, or provider. Users must exercise their own independent judgment and seek qualified professional advice before making any financial decisions.
Investigation Reports are prepared through a combination of:
Verdicts, scores, ratings, labels (including but not limited to "Verified," "Scam," "Under Review," "Pending," and "Inconclusive"), and any similar designations published on the Platform represent the Operator's subjective editorial opinion and assessment based on the evidence and information available at the time of assessment. They are not definitive legal determinations, court judgments, or regulatory findings.
The designation "Scam" or similar negative labels reflects the Operator's editorial opinion that, based on available evidence, the Subject's activities exhibit characteristics commonly associated with fraudulent, deceptive, or materially misleading conduct in the financial services industry. Such designation does not constitute a legal finding of fraud and does not imply that any criminal or civil proceedings have been initiated or concluded against the Subject.
Any Subject of an Investigation Report has the right to contact the Operator to:
The Operator commits to reviewing such submissions in good faith and updating reports where warranted by new evidence. However, the Operator retains sole editorial discretion over the content, conclusions, and publication of all Investigation Reports.
While the Operator endeavors to ensure the accuracy and completeness of all Content, the Operator makes no warranty, representation, or guarantee, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, timeliness, or fitness for any particular purpose of any Content published on the Platform. Information may become outdated, circumstances may change, and errors may occur despite reasonable diligence.
As a standard part of the investigation and verification process, the Operator may contact the Subject and request the provision of verifiable trading performance history ("track record"), typically by means of read-only investor-password access to trading accounts, verified broker statements, or equivalent independently auditable documentation.
If the Subject does not respond to, refuses, or fails to cooperate with such a verification request, or provides data that cannot be independently verified or that the Operator reasonably suspects to be falsified, manipulated, or incomplete, the Operator reserves the right to:
The publication of the fact that a Subject has declined to provide verifiable trading data constitutes a factual statement, not an evaluative judgment, and does not in itself represent an unlawful interference with the Subject's reputation or personality rights. The Operator's editorial assessments and verdicts are expressed as subjective evaluative judgments based on available evidence (e.g., "based on our assessment," "in the Operator's opinion," "the available evidence indicates"), not as absolute statements of criminal or legal guilt.
Where the Operator conducts performance verification of trading accounts, the assessment methodology is based on and adheres to the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®), as published by the CFA Institute. GIPS is the globally recognized standard for the ethical presentation of investment performance and provides a framework for fair representation, full disclosure, and comparability of investment results.
The Operator applies GIPS-aligned principles in the following areas:
The Operator's performance verification process constitutes an independent third-party assessment. The Operator is not a GIPS-verified firm but applies GIPS principles as the methodological framework for fair and transparent performance evaluation. Subjects are informed of the methodology used and may provide additional context or clarification during the verification process.
Performance verification is limited to the data made available to the Operator. The Operator cannot verify the existence or performance of accounts to which access has not been granted. Past performance data, even when independently verified, does not guarantee future results. The Operator explicitly disclaims any representation that verified past performance is indicative of future trading outcomes.
The Platform may display photographs, images, screenshots, avatars, profile pictures, and other visual representations of Subjects ("Images") as part of Investigation Reports and trader profiles. The use of such Images is legally justified on the following grounds:
The Operator applies the following principles when using Images:
Subjects may request the removal or replacement of specific Images by contacting the Operator at the address provided in Section 20. The Operator will consider such requests on a case-by-case basis, weighing the Subject's privacy interests against the public interest in maintaining accurate and complete Investigation Reports. The Operator may:
Users who submit images as part of evidence submissions represent and warrant that they have the legal right to share such images and that the images are authentic and unaltered. The Operator is not liable for any intellectual property infringement, right of publicity violations, or other claims arising from User-submitted images, and Users agree to indemnify the Operator against any such claims.
The Platform may display screenshots of publicly accessible websites, social media posts, trading platform interfaces, marketing materials, and other digital content as documentary evidence supporting Investigation Reports. Such use constitutes fair dealing for purposes of criticism, review, and reporting in the public interest under applicable copyright and intellectual property laws, including Directive 2001/29/EC (InfoSoc Directive), Article 5(3)(c) and (d), and § 31 of Act No. 121/2000 Coll. (Czech Copyright Act).
In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act — "DSA") and the principles of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), the Operator maintains a formal procedure for handling copyright infringement claims related to Images or other content displayed on the Platform.
If you are a copyright holder (or authorized to act on behalf of one) and believe that content on the Platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a written notification ("Copyright Takedown Notice") to the Operator at the contact details provided in Section 20, including:
Upon receipt of a valid Copyright Takedown Notice, the Operator will:
The Operator will not comply with takedown requests that are manifestly unfounded, frivolous, abusive, or that are submitted in bad faith for the purpose of suppressing legitimate editorial content, obstructing investigations, or circumventing the Platform's consumer protection mission. Submitting false or misleading Copyright Takedown Notices may expose the submitter to liability for damages under applicable law.
By submitting any User Content to the Platform, you represent and warrant that:
By submitting User Content, you grant the Operator a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, display, and create derivative works from such User Content for the purposes of operating, maintaining, and improving the Platform and fulfilling its public interest mission.
All User Content is subject to review and moderation by the Operator. The Operator reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to:
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, User Content submitted to the Platform is not treated as confidential. While the Operator takes reasonable measures to protect submitter identity (including displaying only first names and partially masking IP addresses in public-facing content), the Operator cannot guarantee absolute confidentiality and may be compelled to disclose information pursuant to valid legal process.
Metadata warning: Users who submit evidence files (including but not limited to screenshots, PDF documents, email exports, images, and other digital files) are solely responsible for removing any embedded metadata, EXIF data, author information, file properties, or other identifying information from such files before submission. The Platform does not perform forensic sanitization of uploaded files and cannot guarantee that metadata or other embedded information will be stripped. Users acknowledge that failure to remove identifying metadata may enable the Subject or third parties to identify the submitter, and the Operator bears no liability for any consequences arising from the submitter's failure to sanitize uploaded files.
The Platform publishes two distinct categories of content, which are subject to different legal regimes:
User submissions that have been verified, assessed, and incorporated into an Investigation Report become part of the Operator's Editorial Content. Unverified or pending user submissions that may be displayed on the Platform (e.g., user comments, pending reports) are clearly identified as user-generated content, and the Operator does not assume editorial responsibility for their accuracy until and unless they have undergone the Operator's review process.
All Content, design, graphics, logos, trademarks, trade names, software, databases, methodologies, and the overall look and feel of the Platform are the exclusive property of the Operator or its licensors and are protected by Czech, European Union, and international intellectual property laws. No part of the Platform may be reproduced, distributed, modified, framed, deep-linked, or otherwise exploited without the prior written consent of the Operator.
Users may share links to specific pages on the Platform and may quote limited excerpts for the purposes of commentary, criticism, news reporting, or academic research, provided that proper attribution to IsYourTraderReal.com is given and the use constitutes fair dealing under applicable law.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator, its directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, and licensors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages arising out of or in connection with:
In any event, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable mandatory law (including § 2898 of Act No. 89/2012 Coll., Czech Civil Code), the Operator's total aggregate liability to any User for any and all claims arising out of or related to these Terms or the use of the Platform shall not exceed EUR 100 (one hundred euros). This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be lawfully excluded or limited under mandatory provisions of applicable law.
You expressly acknowledge and agree that your use of the Platform is at your sole risk. The Platform and all Content are provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, without any warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or completeness.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Operator, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with:
If a User intentionally submits false, fabricated, misleading, or maliciously motivated information, evidence, or reports to the Platform — including but not limited to submissions made for the purpose of competitive sabotage, personal vendetta, harassment, market manipulation, or any other improper purpose — and such submissions result in the Operator being subject to legal claims, demands, lawsuits, regulatory proceedings, or any other form of legal liability, the submitting User agrees to:
The Operator reserves the right to pursue independent legal action against any User who knowingly submits false or fabricated information, including claims for damages under § 2910 et seq. of the Czech Civil Code (liability for fault-based harm) and, where applicable, reporting the matter to law enforcement authorities for potential criminal prosecution under § 345 (false accusation) or § 184 (defamation) of Act No. 40/2009 Coll. (Czech Criminal Code).
The Operator processes personal data in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation — "GDPR") and Act No. 110/2019 Coll. on the Processing of Personal Data of the Czech Republic. The Operator's processing of personal data related to Subjects is carried out primarily on the following legal bases:
When Users interact with the Platform, the Operator may collect:
Subjects of Investigation Reports may exercise their rights under the GDPR by contacting the Operator. However, the Operator may refuse or limit the exercise of certain rights (including the right to erasure, the right to object, and the right to restriction of processing) where:
Each request is assessed individually, taking into account the balance between the data subject's rights and the public interest in maintaining transparency.
Users shall not:
The Platform may contain links to third-party websites, services, or resources (including but not limited to TrustPilot profiles, social media accounts, and external trading platforms). Such links are provided for informational purposes only and do not imply endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation. The Operator has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, practices, availability, or accuracy of any third-party services.
Any Subject or affected party who believes that Content on the Platform is factually inaccurate, outdated, or unlawful may submit a written request to the Operator at the contact details provided below. Such request must include:

The Operator's decision regarding Content published on the Platform is final from an editorial perspective, without prejudice to the requesting party's right to seek judicial remedies.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Czech Republic, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the use of the Platform shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of the Czech Republic, specifically the Municipal Court in Prague (Městský soud v Praze), unless mandatory provisions of the law of the User's country of habitual residence provide otherwise for consumer disputes.
In accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 524/2013, consumers residing in the EU may submit disputes to the Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. The Operator's email for ADR purposes is provided below.
THE PLATFORM AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. THE OPERATOR EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if modification is not possible, severed from these Terms. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect.
No failure or delay by the Operator in exercising any right, power, or remedy under these Terms shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right shall preclude any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other legal notices or policies published on the Platform, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Operator regarding your use of the Platform and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, warranties, and understandings.
