Terms of Service
Welcome to TraderOps LLC (“TraderOps,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our automated bookkeeping platform, website, and related services (collectively, the “Service”). Please read these Terms carefully.
By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility
To use TraderOps, you must:
- Be at least 18 years old
- Have the legal authority to enter into this agreement
By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.
TraderOps is designed and intended for users in the United States: we operate under U.S. law, and certain features — such as bank and credit card connections — are built for U.S. financial institutions. If you choose to use the Service from outside the United States, you do so at your own initiative and discretion, and you are responsible for compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction.
2. Description of Service

- Secure bank account and credit card integration via Stripe Financial Connections
- CSV transaction import
- Automated and manual transaction categorization with trader-specific categories
- Categorization rules for automated transaction classification
- Prop firm and overall trading business profitability tracking
- Monthly budgeting by category and/or your entire trading business
- Period locking for finalized books

What TraderOps Is NOT
TraderOps is a bookkeeping tool — not a tax preparation tool, financial advisor, investment advisor, tax advisor, or accounting firm. Specifically:
- We do not calculate your taxes or tell you how much you owe.
- We do not file tax returns or any government forms on your behalf.
- We do not provide financial, tax, investment, or legal advice of any kind.
- We do not guarantee any specific tax outcome, tax savings, or deduction eligibility.
- We do not determine your tax classification or filing status.
- We do not make representations about how the IRS or any government agency will treat your income, expenses, or business structure.
The Service organizes your financial data for bookkeeping purposes. Any decisions about taxes, deductions, or financial matters should be made in consultation with a qualified tax professional, CPA, or attorney.
The pre-built categories provided in the Service are for organizational convenience only and do not constitute tax advice or a determination about how any particular expense should be treated in your specific situation.
3. User Accounts and Security
Account Creation
Accounts are created with an email address and password, or via Google Sign-In. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your login credentials, including your Google account credentials if you sign in with Google.
Account Responsibilities
- You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
- You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or security breaches at support@traderops.io.
- You may not share your account access with others unless through a feature expressly provided for that purpose.
- You are responsible for the accuracy of any data you manually enter or upload via CSV.
Stripe Financial Connections Integration
By connecting your financial accounts to TraderOps via Stripe Financial Connections, you:
- Grant us read-only access to your transaction data through Stripe
- Acknowledge that Stripe handles all authentication with your financial institution — we never see or store your bank login credentials
- Acknowledge that transaction data availability is subject to Stripe’s capabilities and your financial institution’s support
- May disconnect your accounts at any time
Account Termination
You may request deletion of your account at any time by contacting us at support@traderops.io. Upon deletion, your data will be permanently removed within 30 days in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
4. Payments and Subscriptions
Subscription Details
- TraderOps is offered on monthly and annual subscription plans. Promotional annual rates may also be offered during your free trial.
- Current prices for all plans are listed on our pricing page, which is the authoritative source for subscription pricing.
- Free Trial: 14-day free trial with credit card required; automatically converts to a paid subscription at the applicable plan rate at the end of the trial period unless canceled
Payment Processing
All payments are processed securely through Stripe. By subscribing, you:
- Authorize automatic recurring charges to your payment method at the applicable rate
- Agree that charges will continue until you cancel your subscription
If a recurring charge fails, the charge may be automatically retried over the following days. Continued payment failure may result in suspension of your access to the Service until payment is resolved.
Cancellation
- You may cancel your subscription at any time.
- Upon cancellation, you will retain access to the Service until the end of your current billing period.
- No cancellation fees or penalties apply.
Refund Policy
- Subscriptions are generally non-refundable. The 14-day free trial serves as the evaluation period, so you can try the Service fully before your first charge.
- We evaluate refund requests on a case-by-case basis for billing errors or technical issues that prevented use of the Service.
- Contact support@traderops.io for refund inquiries.
Price Changes and Grandfathering
We will not increase the price of your active subscription. For as long as your subscription remains continuously active, you keep the rate you signed up at. Any new pricing applies only to new subscriptions and to resubscriptions after a cancellation.
We may introduce new optional features or add-ons at additional cost. Add-ons are not automatically included in existing subscriptions, and declining an add-on will never change the price of your existing subscription.
5. Acceptable Use
To maintain a secure and reliable platform, you agree not to:
- Use the Service for any unlawful, harmful, or abusive purpose
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or our systems
- Use the Service in violation of applicable banking, privacy, or financial regulations
- Share your account credentials or provide unauthorized access to others
