- Disclaimers and Disclosures
INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT MODELS ARE NOT PROTECTED BY FDIC INSURANCE, CARRY NO GUARANTEE, AND CAN LOSE VALUE. Securities investments come with their inherent risks, carrying the possibility of financial loss. It’s essential to be aware that historical performance, past earnings, and statistical forecasts do not assure or indicate future performance or returns. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Backtest and investment model performance is not a guarantee of future results. Trading carries risk. There are no guarantees. While backtests are used to validate the potential viability of investment models and algorithms, there are difficulties, risks and limitations to the modeling that include, but are not limited to, software limitations, incorrect market timing, data provider limitations, assumptions that orders can be filled at or near model execution prices, varied fees, look-ahead bias, potential curve fitting, over-fitting, over-optimization, software bugs, an assumption of no technology failures and a potential of unforeseen consequences from algorithms interacting with varied market behavior. Backtests are simulated returns and not actual returns. Utilizing a financial service that trades short term behaviors carries different tax liability than holding investments for a year or longer. We are not tax advisors. For information about the tax consequences of shorter-term investments please consult with a qualified tax advisor. For more information, see our firm brochure.
- Backtesting and Investment Models
Quantca provides backtesting results on investment models for educational and informational purposes. These are not indicative of future performance or investment returns. The models are based on historical data and involve assumptions that may not be applicable in all market conditions. Model backtests are absent of management fees, which may vary over time and reduce the realized return of investment. Some backtesting platforms are also absent of dividends, which may vary over time and increase the realized return of investment. Quantca does not own or hold interest in the backtesting platforms it uses for investment analysis.

- Governing Law
These Terms of Use and Privacy Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

- Limitation on Claims
You must commence any cause of action you may have with respect to the Site or Services within one year after the claim or cause of action arises.
- Consent to Arbitration
You and Quantica Financial (“the parties” for this section) concur that all disputes or claims that may emerge, associated with your engagement with the public portions of the Platform, will be resolved through mandatory, binding arbitration overseen by AAA – American Arbitration Association, adhering to its Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The coverage of this arbitration agreement extends to all disputes concerning the execution, interpretation, or violation of these Terms and Conditions.
The arbitration will incorporate Dover, Delaware’s substantive law for all state law claims. The process allows limited discovery, in line with AAA’s rules, and prohibits the arbitrator from granting punitive or exemplary damages unless specifically mandated by law for the claims being made. The arbitrator’s decisions will be documented, detailing the resolution of each claim and any awarded relief but will exclude detailed findings or legal conclusions. You acknowledge the limited grounds for appeal under the law and willingly forfeit your right to a jury trial.
Time limitations for initiating claims are upheld in this arbitration process. If a claim would be invalidated due to time restrictions in court, it will similarly be invalidated in arbitration. The final decision of the arbitrator(s) is conclusive and binding and can be validated in any court with jurisdiction, following the U.S. federal laws including the Federal Arbitration Act. The expenses incurred during the enforcement of the award will be borne by the party opposing it.
Regardless of your location when a dispute arises, you consent to the following: Arbitration hearings will be conducted in Dover, Delaware. The courts within the State of Delaware, United States, have the jurisdiction to interpret and enforce these arbitration provisions as stated in the Terms and Conditions. The arbitration will be conducted in English unless otherwise agreed upon by both parties. This arbitration agreement is binding on you, your heirs, executors, administrators, representatives, successors, and assigns.
- Waiver of Class Action
You expressly agree that any arbitration or legal proceedings will be conducted solely on an individual basis and not as a class action or other representative action. There is no permission to arbitrate or litigate any claim as a class action or in a representative capacity. You acknowledge that claims can only be brought against us in your individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or member in any class or representative action.
- Severability and Amendment
If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if that is not possible, it shall be deemed severed from this Agreement. 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. Quantca Financial reserves the right to amend this Agreement at its discretion. Any amendments will become effective and binding on the Client once they are published on Quantca Financial’s website or otherwise made available to the Client. The updated terms will govern the relationship between the Client and Quantca Financial throughout the entire term of this Agreement.
