PropLynq Terms of Service - Platform Rules

These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of PropLynq's websites, dashboard, challenge programs, evaluation programs, funded account programs, broker-monitoring tools, payout processes, support channels, community channels, affiliate features, and related services. The Services are operated by PropLynq Ltd. ("PropLynq", "we", "us", or "our"). By creating an account, accessing the dashboard, purchasing a challenge, connecting a trading account, participating in an evaluation, requesting a payout, using our website, or otherwise using the Services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Services.

1. Important Nature of the Services

PropLynq is a proprietary trading evaluation and technology platform. We provide evaluation programs, trading-account monitoring, dashboard tools, rules tracking, performance review, and related services. PropLynq is not a broker, dealer, investment adviser, portfolio manager, bank, custodian, payment institution, exchange, liquidity provider, or financial intermediary. PropLynq does not accept deposits for investment purposes, does not hold client trading funds, does not execute trades for users, does not provide personal investment advice, and does not manage user money. Challenge accounts, evaluation accounts, funded accounts, and related trading environments are provided for evaluation, educational, simulated, performance-review, and risk-management purposes unless a separate written agreement expressly states otherwise. Any account balance, buying power, notional capital, simulated capital, funded allocation, or displayed profit is not a deposit made by you and is not money owed to you except to the limited extent that a payout has been reviewed, approved, and confirmed by PropLynq under these Terms and the applicable payout rules. Under PropLynq's Bring Your Own Broker model, users choose from PropLynq's approved broker options and connect an eligible MetaTrader 5 account to PropLynq's monitoring system. PropLynq's monitoring access is intended to be read-only. You remain responsible for your relationship with any broker, trading platform, payment provider, wallet provider, or other third party you use.

2. Policies Incorporated by Reference

These Terms must be read together with all policies, rules, disclosures, and product-specific terms published or made available by PropLynq, including the Privacy Policy, Risk Disclosure, Refund Policy, Evaluation Rules, Trading Account Rules, Payout Policy, Affiliate Terms, and any KYC, AML, sanctions, or compliance requirements. Those documents are incorporated into these Terms by reference. Where a specific policy gives more detailed rules on privacy, risk, refunds, payouts, trading rules, or affiliate activity, that specific policy will apply to that subject. Where there is a conflict between these Terms and product-specific rules, the more specific rule applies unless PropLynq states otherwise in writing.

3. Eligibility

You may use the Services only if:

you are at least 18 years old or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher;
you have legal capacity to enter into these Terms;
you are using the Services for yourself and not on behalf of an undisclosed third party;
you are not located in, resident in, incorporated in, or operating from a restricted jurisdiction;
you are not subject to sanctions, trade restrictions, or other legal restrictions that would prohibit us from providing Services to you;
your use of the Services does not violate any law, regulation, broker rule, platform rule, payment-provider rule, or third-party agreement applicable to you.

PropLynq may refuse registration, reject purchases, restrict access, request additional information, suspend accounts, or terminate access where we determine that a user is not eligible, presents compliance risk, provides inaccurate information, uses prohibited tools or methods, or attempts to bypass jurisdictional, identity, payment, platform, or risk controls. Availability of specific brokers, MT5 services, instruments, payment methods, payout methods, challenge types, and platform features may vary by jurisdiction, broker, technology provider, and compliance status. PropLynq is not responsible if a broker, MT5 provider, payment provider, wallet provider, regulatory authority, or other third party restricts access in your jurisdiction.

4. Account Registration and Account Security

You must provide accurate, complete, current, and truthful information when registering, purchasing, connecting accounts, completing KYC, requesting payouts, contacting support, or using the Services. You may not create or use accounts under false names, fake identities, nominee identities, duplicate identities, synthetic identities, borrowed identities, or identities belonging to another person. You may not use multiple email addresses, devices, IP patterns, payment methods, wallets, or account profiles to hide your identity, bypass rules, obtain duplicate offers, manipulate evaluations, or avoid restrictions. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials, email account, dashboard access, broker access, device security, wallet access, payment credentials, and any connected services. You must notify PropLynq immediately if you suspect unauthorized access, credential compromise, identity misuse, account sharing, broker compromise, payment fraud, or any other security incident. PropLynq is not responsible for losses, failed challenges, missed payouts, trading-rule breaches, data loss, account access issues, or unauthorized activity caused by your failure to secure your account, email, device, broker account, wallet, or credentials.

5. BYOB Broker Model and MT5 Connection

PropLynq's BYOB model allows you to select from approved broker options and connect an eligible MT5 account for monitoring and evaluation tracking. You understand and agree that:

PropLynq does not operate your broker account;
PropLynq does not control broker spreads, commissions, swaps, slippage, execution speed, stop-out rules, symbol availability, leverage, margin rules, server time, price feeds, weekend pricing, news execution, platform downtime, deposit methods, withdrawal methods, regulatory status, or account terms;
your broker relationship is separate from your relationship with PropLynq;
you are responsible for reviewing and complying with your broker's terms, restrictions, fees, rules, and risk disclosures;
PropLynq may approve, remove, restrict, or change broker options at any time for risk, compliance, technical, commercial, execution-quality, regulatory, or operational reasons;
use of a broker that is not approved, no longer approved, incorrectly connected, inaccessible, or technically unsupported may make your challenge or funded account ineligible.

When connecting an MT5 account, you must provide only the information required by PropLynq for monitoring. Unless PropLynq expressly requires otherwise for a specific service, you should not provide master passwords, withdrawal credentials, payment credentials, wallet seed phrases, private keys, or any access that allows PropLynq or anyone else to place trades, move funds, or withdraw money from your broker or wallet account. If your MT5 connection is interrupted, disconnected, misconfigured, delayed, manipulated, changed, blocked, or no longer readable, PropLynq may pause evaluation, mark data as incomplete, request reconnection, reject affected trading activity, require manual review, suspend the account, or close the account where monitoring integrity cannot be verified.

6. Challenge Purchases and Service Activation

Challenge purchases are made through the PropLynq platform or authorized payment channels. Prices, account sizes, challenge types, add-ons, profit splits, discounts, coupon codes, broker options, payout schedules, and features may change from time to time. A purchase gives you access to the selected evaluation service, dashboard tools, monitoring, and related features. A purchase is not a deposit, investment, brokerage account, managed account, savings product, financial instrument, or guarantee of funding, profit, payout, employment, contractor engagement, or future opportunity. Service delivery is considered to begin when your challenge is provisioned, credentials are issued, the account becomes available in your dashboard, the challenge is activated, the account is connected, or you otherwise access or use the purchased service, whichever occurs first. Unless the Refund Policy expressly states otherwise, purchases become final once the service has been activated, provisioned, accessed, connected, or used. Promotional offers, discounts, limited-time pricing, add-ons, crypto payments, and special campaigns may be non-refundable unless required by applicable law.

Paid Account Resets

Where the dashboard displays a reset option for an account, you may purchase a reset of that account for the reset fee displayed in the dashboard at the time of purchase. Reset fees are determined by PropLynq, may differ by account type, account size, phase, and attached add-ons, and may be changed at any time without affecting resets already completed. Subject to PropLynq's discretion and the options displayed in the dashboard, a reset may be available only for:

an evaluation-phase account of an eligible challenge, whether the account is active or has failed; and
a Rocket Account.

A reset is not available for a funded account arising from a 1 Step, 2 Step, or Base Challenge, for any account that has been closed or replaced following a payout, for any bonus or promotional account, or for any account that PropLynq has designated as ineligible for reset. PropLynq may enable, disable, restrict, suspend, or withdraw the reset option for any account type, account size, phase, or user at any time. When a reset is completed:

the account restarts from the initial balance and objectives of the stage being reset;
prior trading progress, trading days, trading history used for rule assessment, recorded rule violations, warnings, risk-limit reclassifications, and pending performance-reward adjustments associated with that account cease to apply to the restarted stage;
any profit on the account that has not been paid out under an approved payout before the reset is forfeited and is not payable;
you may be required to connect, reconnect, or re-verify a trading account before trading resumes;
add-ons attached to the account remain attached, and the reset fee may include a charge relating to those add-ons.

A reset does not remove, excuse, or waive any finding or suspicion of a prohibited trading practice, fraud, identity issue, compliance issue, payment issue, or other violation of these Terms. PropLynq may consider the full history of an account and of the user, including activity before any reset, in any review, payout decision, or enforcement action. A reset is a separate paid service. It is not a refund, credit, extension, or new purchase of a challenge, and it does not entitle you to promotional pricing, coupon codes, or other offers unless PropLynq expressly states otherwise.

7. Payments, Crypto Payments, Billing Disputes, and Chargebacks

You agree to pay all applicable fees shown at checkout. You are responsible for taxes, bank fees, blockchain network fees, card fees, currency-conversion fees, wallet fees, broker fees, and third-party payment charges unless PropLynq states otherwise. Crypto payments are subject to blockchain confirmation, network delays, wallet accuracy, exchange-rate variation, and compliance review. You are responsible for sending the correct asset, on the correct network, to the correct address, within the required time window. PropLynq is not responsible for losses caused by incorrect networks, incorrect addresses, unsupported assets, underpayments, overpayments, wallet errors, exchange errors, delayed confirmations, or third-party restrictions. Billing concerns must be raised with PropLynq support before initiating a chargeback, payment reversal, dispute, fraud claim, or similar action with a card issuer, bank, payment processor, exchange, or wallet provider. Filing a chargeback or payment dispute without first attempting to resolve the issue with PropLynq may be treated as a material breach of these Terms. Where a payment is reversed, charged back, disputed, suspected of fraud, linked to a stolen payment method, linked to sanctions risk, or otherwise not settled, PropLynq may suspend or terminate the related account, revoke challenge access, cancel funded eligibility, withhold payouts, recover amounts owed, submit evidence to payment providers, and restrict future purchases.

8. Refunds

Refunds are governed by PropLynq's Refund Policy and any product-specific terms displayed at checkout. Unless the Refund Policy or applicable law requires otherwise, purchases are not refundable once a challenge, evaluation, funded account, add-on, or other digital service has been activated, provisioned, accessed, connected, used, failed, breached, suspended, terminated, expired, or completed. Unless applicable law requires otherwise, reset fees are not refundable once the reset has been completed. PropLynq may deny refunds where we detect rule violations, fraud, identity mismatch, account sharing, chargeback abuse, payment manipulation, prohibited trading, broker manipulation, technical abuse, duplicate accounts, sanctions issues, or misuse of the Services.

9. Evaluation Rules and Account Objectives

Each challenge or funded account is subject to the rules displayed on the website, checkout page, dashboard, account page, evaluation-rules page, or funded-account agreement. These may include, without limitation:

profit targets;
daily loss limits;
maximum drawdown limits;
equity-based drawdown rules;
balance-based drawdown rules;
minimum trading days;
time limits, where applicable;
maximum allocation limits;
consistency requirements;
news trading rules;
funded account risk limits;
news trading profit-share rules for funded accounts;
weekend holding rules;
EA or algorithmic trading rules;
instrument restrictions;
broker restrictions;
lot-size or risk restrictions;
payout eligibility rules;
scaling rules;
KYC and compliance requirements.

You are responsible for reading and understanding the exact rules that apply to your selected challenge, broker, account type, funded account, add-on, and jurisdiction before purchasing or trading. Daily loss, drawdown, account equity, account balance, floating profit or loss, closed profit or loss, commissions, swaps, broker charges, slippage, spreads, server time, open positions, pending orders, and platform data may be considered when calculating rule compliance. Unless PropLynq states otherwise, open floating losses count toward drawdown and daily loss limits. If there is a discrepancy between broker data, dashboard data, cached data, delayed data, displayed data, imported data, or manual review data, PropLynq may determine the final result using the data source, timestamp, calculation method, and compliance review process that PropLynq reasonably considers most reliable. Passing a challenge requires meeting all required objectives and avoiding all violations. Reaching a profit target alone does not guarantee passing if other rules, compliance standards, identity requirements, broker requirements, or review requirements are not satisfied.

1 Step Best Day Rule

The 1 Step Challenge is subject to a 50% Best Day Rule. To successfully complete the 1 Step evaluation, the User's highest verified Daily Net Profit during the evaluation must not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the User's total verified Net Profit at the time all evaluation objectives are assessed. For purposes of this rule: 'Daily Net Profit' means the net trading result attributed by PropLynq to a single trading day, as recorded and verified through the connected account data and PropLynq systems. 'Best Day' means the trading day with the highest positive Daily Net Profit during the applicable evaluation. 'Best Day Percentage' means Best Day divided by total verified Net Profit, multiplied by 100. A Best Day Percentage above 50% does not constitute an account breach, failure, prohibited trading practice, or forfeiture of profit. The evaluation remains incomplete until the User satisfies the applicable profit target, minimum trading-day requirement, drawdown requirements, the Best Day Rule, and all other applicable objectives. The 2 Step Challenge and Base Challenge are not subject to an evaluation Best Day Rule unless expressly stated otherwise for a specific product purchased by the User. Rocket Accounts have no evaluation phase.

Funded Account Risk Limit

Every funded account, including a funded account arising from any challenge and every Rocket Account, is subject to a Risk Limit. Unless a different percentage is displayed for the applicable account in the dashboard or the Trading Account Rules, the Risk Limit is three percent (3%) of the Initial Balance. The Risk Limit does not apply to evaluation phases. For purposes of this rule: 'Initial Balance' means the starting balance of the funded account at the applicable funded stage or scaling level, as recorded by PropLynq. 'Position Risk' means, for each open position, the greater of (a) the loss that would result if the position were closed at its stop-loss price and (b) the position's current floating loss. Where no stop-loss is set, Position Risk is the position's current floating loss. A stop-loss placed at a price at which the position would not close at a loss results in no stop-loss loss. 'Continuous Exposure' means a continuous period during which at least one position is open on the account, including all positions that are opened, held, or closed while that period continues. 'Combined Risk' means, at any given time, the sum of the Position Risk of all open positions plus the realized losses of positions on the same instrument and in the same direction as an open position that were closed during the same Continuous Exposure, expressed as a percentage of the Initial Balance. Swaps, commissions, and other fees are excluded from the calculation of Combined Risk. A 'Risk Limit Violation' occurs when Combined Risk exceeds the applicable Risk Limit at any time, as recorded by PropLynq's monitoring systems. A single Continuous Exposure gives rise to no more than one Risk Limit Violation, regardless of how long, or how many times, the Risk Limit is exceeded during that exposure. 'Violating Trades' means all positions that form part of the Combined Risk at the time the Risk Limit Violation is recorded, together with any positions added to the same Continuous Exposure while the Risk Limit remains exceeded. Unless different consequences are displayed for the applicable account at the time of the violation, a Risk Limit Violation has the following consequences:

first violation: PropLynq issues a formal warning by dashboard notification, email alert, and notice on the account page, and one hundred percent (100%) of the net profit of the Violating Trades is deducted from the performance reward for the applicable payout cycle;
second violation: the same deduction applies, and the account is permanently reclassified to a reduced Risk Limit of one percent (1%) of the Initial Balance, effective from the end of the trading day on which the violation is recorded, as determined by PropLynq's trading-day reset time for the account;
each subsequent violation: the same deduction applies to each violation.

The net profit of Violating Trades is calculated after swaps and commissions. Where the Violating Trades close with a net loss, no deduction is made, but the violation is recorded and counts toward the number of violations. Where the total deductions for a payout cycle equal or exceed the profit for that cycle, no performance reward is payable for that cycle. A reclassification is permanent and continues to apply to the funded account, including any successor account issued following a payout or scaling event, unless PropLynq expressly determines otherwise in writing. A completed reset of a Rocket Account under the Paid Account Resets section of Section 6 begins a new account lifecycle. The Risk Limit is a monitoring and performance-reward adjustment rule. A Risk Limit Violation does not by itself close positions, restrict trading, or constitute an account breach, failure, or termination. However, this rule does not limit PropLynq's rights under any other provision of these Terms, including Section 12 in relation to all-or-nothing trading, gambling-style behavior, reckless overleveraging, splitting one trade idea into multiple positions, or correlated exposure. You are solely responsible for monitoring and managing your own risk. Compliance is assessed at the intervals at which PropLynq's systems record account data, and PropLynq's recorded data and calculations are determinative. Any failure or delay by PropLynq in detecting or acting upon an exceedance does not waive this rule on that or any other occasion. Non-receipt, non-reading, or delayed delivery of a warning, notification, or email does not affect the validity of a Risk Limit Violation or its consequences. The Risk Limit, the reduced Risk Limit, the violation number that triggers reclassification, and the deduction percentage that apply to an account are those displayed for that account at the time of the relevant violation. PropLynq may change these parameters, or enable or disable this rule for any account type, with prospective effect.

News Trading on Funded Accounts

News trading is permitted on funded accounts, including Rocket Accounts, subject to this rule and all other applicable rules. News trading during evaluation phases is governed by the rules of the applicable evaluation. For purposes of this rule: 'High-Impact News Event' means an economic release or event designated as high-impact in the economic calendar used by PropLynq, together with its scheduled time and associated currency. 'News Window' means the period beginning five (5) minutes before and ending five (5) minutes after the scheduled time of a High-Impact News Event, unless a different period is displayed for the applicable account. 'Affected Instrument' means any instrument whose base currency, quote or profit currency, or margin currency, as specified by the connected broker, is the currency associated with a High-Impact News Event. 'News Window Trade' means any position on an Affected Instrument that is opened, closed, or partially closed within a News Window, including any opening or closing executed by a pending order, stop-loss, take-profit, or stop-out. Unless a different percentage is displayed for the applicable account, only forty percent (40%) of the net profit of each News Window Trade is counted toward the performance reward, and the remaining profit is deducted from the performance reward for the applicable payout cycle. Losses on News Window Trades are counted in full. Where a position is both a News Window Trade and a Violating Trade under the Funded Account Risk Limit, the Risk Limit deduction applies and no additional deduction is made under this rule for that position. Adjusted profit is used to determine the payout amount and may affect payout eligibility, including verified-growth thresholds. The designation of High-Impact News Events, their scheduled times, and the determination of Affected Instruments are made by PropLynq, and PropLynq's determination is final. PropLynq may change the News Window, the counted profit percentage, or enable or disable this rule for any account type, with prospective effect. The application of this rule is a performance-reward adjustment. It is not an account breach, penalty, or finding of prohibited conduct, and it does not permit any practice prohibited under Section 12.

10. Funded Account Eligibility

Successful completion of an evaluation does not automatically guarantee a funded account, payout, scaling increase, contractor relationship, employment relationship, partnership, investment, or allocation. Before offering, activating, maintaining, scaling, or paying out a funded account, PropLynq may require:

identity verification;
proof of residence;
tax forms or tax information;
wallet verification;
payment-method verification;
broker-account verification;
trading history review;
strategy review;
risk review;
IP, device, and access review;
compliance interview;
video verification;
source-of-funds or source-of-wealth information;
sanctions screening;
AML screening;
signed funded-account agreement;
any other documentation reasonably required by PropLynq.

PropLynq may deny, delay, suspend, reduce, close, or revoke funded-account eligibility if you fail review, fail to provide documents, provide inaccurate documents, breach rules, use prohibited strategies, present compliance risk, misuse the platform, or otherwise fail to satisfy PropLynq's requirements.

11. Payouts and Profit Splits

Payouts, profit splits, payout schedules, minimum withdrawal amounts, payout windows, processing targets, wallet options, payment methods, and scaling conditions are governed by the applicable payout rules displayed by PropLynq. A displayed profit, dashboard balance, funded-account balance, profit split, certificate, leaderboard position, payout request, or withdrawal request is not final and does not create an unconditional debt owed by PropLynq until reviewed, approved, and confirmed by PropLynq. PropLynq may review all trading activity, broker data, identity information, wallet information, payment information, compliance information, and account history before approving any payout. PropLynq may delay, reject, reduce, reverse, offset, or withhold payouts where:

trading rules were breached;
prohibited trading practices were used;
deductions or adjustments apply under the Funded Account Risk Limit or the News Trading on Funded Accounts rule in Section 9;
data integrity cannot be verified;
the account connection was interrupted or manipulated;
KYC or AML review is incomplete;
wallet ownership is not verified;
payment information is inaccurate;
tax or legal information is missing;
fraud, abuse, manipulation, or account sharing is suspected;
the user is in a restricted jurisdiction;
a broker, payment provider, bank, wallet provider, blockchain analytics provider, regulator, or compliance provider raises concerns;
a chargeback, refund abuse, or payment dispute exists;
PropLynq reasonably determines that the payout would violate these Terms, applicable law, or risk controls.

Payout processing times are estimates or targets, not guarantees, unless a specific written policy expressly states otherwise. Processing times begin only after PropLynq receives all required information and approves the payout request. You are responsible for all taxes, reporting obligations, exchange-rate risk, wallet accuracy, network fees, bank fees, payment-provider fees, and legal obligations related to payouts. Payout eligibility is determined by the funded account model. One Step Challenge payouts are available every 5 business days. Two Step and Base Challenge payouts become available after an initial 21-day period and continue on a 14-day schedule thereafter. Rocket Accounts use a separate payout schedule. A user may submit an on-demand payout request once verified account growth in the current payout cycle reaches at least 5%. Where the 5% threshold is reached on the first trading day, eligibility is determined after the end-of-day account review.

On-Demand Payout Best Day Rule

An on-demand payout request is subject to a forty percent (40%) Best Day Rule. To qualify for an on-demand payout, the highest verified Daily Net Profit generated during the current payout cycle must not exceed 40% of the total verified Net Profit generated during that payout cycle at the time the payout request is reviewed. The On-Demand Best Day Percentage is calculated as: Highest Daily Net Profit during the current payout cycle ÷ Total verified Net Profit during the current payout cycle × 100. If the On-Demand Best Day Percentage exceeds 40%, the User is not yet eligible for an on-demand payout. Exceeding the percentage does not, by itself, constitute an account breach, account failure, forfeiture of profit, or grounds for termination. The User may continue trading until the Best Day Percentage is 40% or lower, subject to all other account rules. The 40% Best Day Rule applies only to the on-demand payout pathway. It does not apply to payout eligibility under the regular scheduled payout cycle unless expressly stated in the applicable product-specific terms. Following an approved payout, the applicable payout cycle ends and the Best Day calculation resets when the next payout cycle begins. All calculations are based on trading data verified by PropLynq. Where broker data, corrections, commissions, swaps, adjustments, disputed transactions, or other account data affect verified Net Profit or Daily Net Profit, PropLynq may recalculate payout eligibility using the corrected verified data. If verified Rocket Account growth is at least 1% but less than 5%, a payout request may be submitted after 14 calendar days from the start of the current payout cycle. A Rocket Account with less than 1% verified growth is not eligible for a payout. A payout cycle begins on the first trade of the applicable cycle and a new cycle begins after an approved payout, unless the dashboard or product-specific rules expressly state otherwise. All payout requests are subject to KYC, account verification, broker-data verification, trading-rule review, compliance approval and the applicable payment-method minimum. Payout amounts and verified account growth for payout-eligibility purposes are calculated after any deductions required by the Funded Account Risk Limit and the News Trading on Funded Accounts rule in Section 9.

12. Prohibited Trading Practices

PropLynq is designed to identify genuine, independent, sustainable trading skill. You may not use trading behavior, technical methods, account structures, third-party arrangements, or coordinated activity that defeats, manipulates, exploits, or bypasses the purpose of the evaluation. The following practices are prohibited unless PropLynq gives express written approval:

account management by any person other than the registered account holder;
allowing another person, service, company, trader, signal provider, bot operator, employee, contractor, friend, family member, or account manager to trade, access, manage, pass, or influence your account;
trading another user's account;
buying, selling, renting, transferring, assigning, leasing, sharing, or outsourcing accounts;
copy trading from third-party signal providers, trade copiers, account-management services, trade-passing services, Discord or Telegram groups, paid rooms, or shared EA networks;
coordinated trading, group trading, mirrored trading, reverse trading, group hedging, or opposite-position trading across accounts;
using multiple accounts, identities, emails, devices, IP addresses, VPS providers, brokers, wallets, or payment methods to disguise coordination, bypass limits, obtain unfair advantage, or manipulate pass probability;
using different accounts in a way where some accounts are intentionally sacrificed while others benefit;
account rolling or purchasing multiple accounts in quick succession to rely on probability rather than a genuine trading plan;
exploiting price discrepancies, latency, stale quotes, server delays, feed errors, platform glitches, broker errors, synchronization delays, execution bugs, or demo-environment limitations;
arbitrage, latency arbitrage, tick scalping, feed arbitrage, broker arbitrage, quote stuffing, order spamming, execution manipulation, or any strategy that is not reasonably replicable in real market conditions;
high-frequency trading behavior, excessive order activity, ultra-short-duration trading, or machine-like trading that PropLynq determines is designed to exploit infrastructure rather than demonstrate trading skill;
all-or-nothing trading, one-sided betting, gambling-style behavior, reckless overleveraging, risking substantially all daily drawdown on one trade idea, allowing the outcome of an evaluation phase to depend disproportionately on a single trade, single directional move, single trading idea, or closely related group of positions, or repeatedly using position sizes inconsistent with prior trading behavior;
opening substantially larger or smaller positions than your normal account behavior without a reasonable trading basis;
splitting one trade idea into many positions to hide risk concentration;
taking repeated correlated exposure across similar instruments in a way that increases effective risk beyond account limits;
using EAs, scripts, bots, trade copiers, bridge tools, or automation that produce identical, coordinated, abusive, exploitative, or non-independent behavior;
intentionally disconnecting, delaying, blocking, changing, or manipulating PropLynq's monitoring access;
altering MT5 credentials, investor passwords, server settings, broker access, symbols, account history, trading logs, or exported data to interfere with review;
falsifying, editing, hiding, deleting, or manipulating trading records, screenshots, account statements, dashboard data, broker records, payout information, identity documents, payment documents, or communications;
using VPNs, proxies, remote desktops, VPS services, shared devices, shared networks, or unusual access patterns to hide location, identity, account sharing, or restricted-jurisdiction access;
abusing bonuses, discounts, referral credits, affiliates, coupons, promotions, refunds, chargebacks, or payment systems;
engaging in fraud, deception, harassment, threats, extortion, bribery, market manipulation, money laundering, sanctions evasion, or illegal activity;
any behavior that PropLynq reasonably determines is inconsistent with fair evaluation, market integrity, individual skill, account security, platform integrity, or these Terms.

News trading, weekend holding, and EAs may be permitted for certain PropLynq accounts where the applicable rules allow them. However, permission to trade news, hold over weekends, or use EAs does not permit exploitative trading, feed abuse, latency abuse, gambling behavior, group trading, third-party account management, copy trading abuse, broker manipulation, or any other prohibited practice. News trading on funded accounts, including Rocket Accounts, is also subject to the News Trading on Funded Accounts rule in Section 9. PropLynq may classify activity as prohibited based on account data, broker records, IP/device data, trading patterns, timing, correlation, trade duration, symbol concentration, order behavior, account similarity, payout history, communications, third-party evidence, compliance review, or any other information reasonably available to PropLynq. For the 2 Step Challenge, concentration of a substantial portion of Phase 1 profit in a single trade or trading idea, or the use of a position materially larger than other positions during Phase 1, will not by itself constitute a prohibited trading practice or prevent progression to Phase 2, provided that all applicable profit target, minimum trading day, Daily Loss Limit, Maximum Drawdown, and other account rules have been satisfied. Such activity may nevertheless be recorded or flagged by PropLynq for subsequent risk review. This Phase 1 treatment does not permit or excuse any other prohibited trading practice under these Terms. During Phase 2 of the 2 Step Challenge, PropLynq may flag an account for risk review where the result depends disproportionately on a single trade, single trading idea, unusually large exposure, materially abnormal position size, or another concentrated risk pattern. A risk flag does not by itself constitute an account breach or automatic failure. PropLynq may review the relevant position sizes, effective risk, trade exposure, trading history, account behavior, and other available trading data to determine whether the activity constitutes one-sided betting, all-or-nothing trading, gambling-style behavior, reckless overleveraging, materially inconsistent position sizing, or another prohibited trading practice under this Section. Where PropLynq reasonably determines that such prohibited activity occurred, Phase 2 may be rejected and progression to a funded account may be denied.

13. Compliance Reviews, Interviews, and Data Integrity

PropLynq may conduct manual, automated, random, risk-based, or event-triggered compliance reviews at any time, including before challenge approval, after profit-target completion, before phase migration, before funded-account activation, before payout approval, after payout approval, during account scaling, or after account closure. A review may include:

identity verification;
device and IP review;
broker-account review;
trading-history review;
strategy review;
risk review;
EA or automation review;
copy-trading and correlation review;
wallet verification;
payment-method review;
communications review;
document review;
video call, interview, or written explanation;
requests for additional documents, logs, screenshots, broker statements, or explanations.

You agree to cooperate with compliance reviews and provide accurate information within the requested timeframe. Failure to cooperate may result in failed challenge status, payout delay, payout denial, account suspension, funded-account denial, account termination, or permanent restriction from the Services. PropLynq may correct dashboard errors, reverse mistakenly displayed results, remove invalid trades from review, recalculate metrics, reclassify accounts, or adjust records where data is incomplete, delayed, duplicated, corrupted, manipulated, or inconsistent with reliable broker or platform data.

14. Permitted Trading, EAs, and Strategy Responsibility

You are responsible for every trade, order, EA, script, signal, copier, API connection, VPS setup, broker setting, and platform action associated with your account. Discretionary trading, algorithmic trading, and EAs may be allowed where the applicable account rules permit them, provided that your use remains independent, compliant, non-abusive, non-coordinated, and consistent with the purpose of the evaluation. You must ensure that any EA, script, indicator, trade copier, VPS, bridge, tool, or third-party software you use complies with these Terms, broker rules, platform rules, and applicable law. PropLynq is not responsible for EA malfunction, execution errors, duplicate orders, runaway bots, VPS downtime, incorrect lot sizing, broker rejection, slippage, account breach, or prohibited behavior caused by tools you choose to use.

15. Platform Availability, Maintenance, and Technical Risk

PropLynq aims to provide reliable access to the Services but does not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or real-time access. The Services may be affected by maintenance, updates, cyber incidents, hosting issues, database delays, API errors, broker outages, MT5 issues, payment-provider outages, blockchain congestion, data-feed issues, browser problems, device issues, internet failures, force majeure events, or other circumstances beyond our control.

PropLynq may remove content, restrict access, suspend users, terminate accounts, report abuse, or take legal action where user conduct violates these Terms.

19. Intellectual Property

All content, software, designs, logos, trademarks, text, graphics, videos, images, dashboards, tools, code, data structures, documentation, certificates, templates, and other materials provided by PropLynq are owned by PropLynq or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. You receive a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Services for your personal, lawful, non-commercial use in accordance with these Terms. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, sell, license, rent, scrape, reverse engineer, create derivative works from, or exploit PropLynq materials without prior written permission.

20. Testimonials, Certificates, Leaderboards, and Marketing Use

If you voluntarily submit testimonials, reviews, payout screenshots, certificates, videos, social posts, comments, feedback, or similar content to PropLynq, tag PropLynq publicly, or participate in promotional activity, you grant PropLynq a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use, reproduce, display, publish, translate, edit, and distribute such content for marketing, educational, compliance, and business purposes, subject to applicable law and our Privacy Policy. PropLynq may publish payout certificates, leaderboard data, first name, initials, country, account type, payout amount, challenge type, or similar limited information where permitted by law and platform policy. PropLynq may anonymize or remove information at its discretion. Payout examples, certificates, testimonials, and leaderboards are not guarantees that any user will pass, become funded, earn payouts, or achieve similar results.

21. Affiliate and Referral Activity

Affiliate and referral participation may be subject to separate affiliate terms. If you participate in any affiliate, referral, influencer, partner, or promotional program, you must act honestly, lawfully, and transparently. You may not make false, misleading, exaggerated, or guaranteed-income claims about PropLynq, challenge outcomes, funded accounts, payouts, profit potential, broker execution, trading results, or user success. You may not use spam, fake reviews, misleading ads, brand impersonation, prohibited traffic sources, coupon abuse, self-referrals, duplicate accounts, or fraudulent attribution methods. PropLynq may reject, reverse, delay, reduce, or withhold affiliate commissions where we detect fraud, refund activity, chargebacks, policy violations, misleading promotions, self-dealing, or low-quality/refunded purchases.

22. Taxes

You are solely responsible for determining, reporting, and paying any taxes, duties, levies, social contributions, income taxes, business taxes, withholding taxes, VAT, GST, or other obligations arising from your purchases, payouts, rewards, affiliate commissions, or use of the Services. PropLynq may request tax forms or tax information before processing payouts or commissions. Failure to provide required information may result in payout delay or denial.

23. Suspension, Termination, and Account Closure

PropLynq may suspend, restrict, review, fail, close, or terminate any account or access to the Services at any time where we reasonably believe that:

you violated these Terms or any applicable policy;
you breached trading rules;
you used prohibited trading practices;
you provided inaccurate or incomplete information;
you failed KYC, AML, sanctions, or compliance review;
your payment was disputed, reversed, fraudulent, or unpaid;
your broker or MT5 connection cannot be verified;
your account was accessed by another person;
you created duplicate identities or accounts;
you abused promotions, refunds, affiliates, or chargebacks;
your activity creates legal, regulatory, security, operational, reputational, financial, or risk-management concerns;
continued access would expose PropLynq, users, brokers, providers, or partners to unacceptable risk.

Upon suspension or termination, your right to access the Services may cease immediately. PropLynq may withhold, deny, offset, or cancel pending payouts, challenge access, funded eligibility, affiliate commissions, discounts, credits, or other benefits where the suspension or termination relates to a violation, review, or unresolved risk. Sections that by nature should survive termination will survive, including payment obligations, compliance review rights, payout review rights, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, dispute resolution, and governing law.

24. Changes to Services, Rules, and Terms

PropLynq may update, modify, suspend, replace, or discontinue any part of the Services, including challenge types, account sizes, rules, brokers, add-ons, pricing, payout methods, payout schedules, profit splits, scaling plans, affiliate terms, technology providers, payment methods, and dashboard features. Changes usually apply prospectively. However, immediate changes may be required for legal, regulatory, sanctions, broker, platform, payment, fraud-prevention, security, technical, or risk-management reasons. We may update these Terms by posting a revised version with a new Last updated date. Continued use of the Services after changes become effective means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not agree to updated Terms, you must stop using the Services.

25. Disclaimers

The Services are provided on an as is and as available basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, PropLynq disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, uninterrupted availability, accuracy, profitability, suitability, compliance with your local laws, or error-free operation. PropLynq does not guarantee that:

you will pass any challenge;
you will receive a funded account;
you will receive a payout;
your trading strategy will be profitable;
your broker will execute trades as expected;
your dashboard will always display real-time or error-free data;
your MT5 connection will remain uninterrupted;
any payout example, certificate, testimonial, or leaderboard result will be representative of your outcome.

26. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PropLynq and its directors, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates, licensors, service providers, and partners will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, punitive, or similar damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost opportunity, loss of data, business interruption, trading losses, missed payouts, failed challenges, account breaches, broker issues, payment delays, wallet errors, or reputational harm. To the maximum extent permitted by law, PropLynq's total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms will not exceed the amount you paid directly to PropLynq for the specific challenged service giving rise to the claim during the three months before the event giving rise to liability, or USD 100, whichever is greater. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations. In those jurisdictions, PropLynq's liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

27. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PropLynq and its directors, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates, licensors, service providers, and partners from and against any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from or relating to:

your use of the Services;
your breach of these Terms or any policy;
your trading activity;
your broker relationship;
your payment activity;
your tax obligations;
your violation of law;
your violation of third-party rights;
your fraud, misrepresentation, negligence, or misconduct;

your content, testimonials, promotions, affiliate activity, or public statements about PropLynq.

28. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Seychelles, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact PropLynq at [support@proplynq.com](mailto:support@proplynq.com) and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days, the dispute shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration. The legal seat and venue of arbitration shall be Victoria, Mahé, Seychelles. The arbitration shall be conducted in English by one arbitrator under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, unless applicable law requires otherwise. The arbitrator may award individual relief only. Class actions, collective actions, representative actions, private attorney-general actions, and consolidated proceedings are waived to the maximum extent permitted by law. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive, interim, or equitable relief from the competent courts of Seychelles for intellectual-property misuse, confidentiality breaches, fraud, security abuse, platform abuse, payment abuse, or unauthorized access. Where applicable law does not permit arbitration, class-action waiver, limitation of venue, or limitation of user rights, this section shall apply only to the maximum extent permitted by that law.

29. Notices and Communications

PropLynq may send notices by email, dashboard notification, website posting, support message, or other reasonable communication method. You are responsible for keeping your email address and contact information current. Official support communications should be made through PropLynq's official website, dashboard, or support email. Social media, community groups, Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, or other informal channels may be used for convenience but are not guaranteed official legal notice channels unless PropLynq expressly states otherwise.

30. Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, sell, sublicense, or delegate your rights or obligations under these Terms without PropLynq's prior written consent. PropLynq may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, to an affiliate, successor, acquirer, service provider, or other entity in connection with restructuring, merger, acquisition, asset sale, corporate transaction, or operational transfer.

31. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or removed if modification is not possible.

32. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with all incorporated policies and product-specific rules, form the entire agreement between you and PropLynq regarding the Services and replace all prior or contemporaneous understandings, communications, or agreements relating to the Services.
