Terms of Service

Last updated: September 28, 2026

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using the alerting platform operated by TickStock LLC ('TickStock', 'we', 'us', or 'our') (the 'Service'), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our Service. We may update these terms from time to time, and your continued use constitutes acceptance of any changes.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, and able to form a legally binding contract to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.

Description of Service

TickStock provides price and event alerts for stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies, delivered via email, push, and SMS notifications depending on your subscription tier. SMS notifications are available only for phone numbers in the United States and Canada. Our Service allows you to:

• Create and manage price and event alerts for stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies (available assets vary by subscription tier)
• Receive notifications via email, push, or SMS notifications when your alert conditions are met (SMS is available for US and Canada numbers only)
• Access market data, analysis, and AI-powered insights
• Build and customize watchlists, view company information and news

Specific features, asset types, delivery methods, and alert limits depend on your subscription tier as described on our pricing page.

Important: Our Service provides information and alerts only. We do not provide financial advice, investment recommendations, or trading services. All investment decisions are your responsibility.

Investment Advice Disclaimer

DO NOT BASE ANY INVESTMENT DECISION UPON ANY MATERIALS FOUND ON THIS WEBSITE OR SERVICE. We are not registered as a securities broker-dealer or an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or with any state securities regulatory authority. We are neither licensed nor qualified to provide investment advice.

The information provided through our Service is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as investment, financial, legal, or tax advice. Nothing contained in our Service constitutes a solicitation, recommendation, endorsement, or offer to buy or sell any securities or other financial instruments. All content is information of a general nature and does not address the circumstances of any particular individual or entity.

You alone assume the sole responsibility of evaluating the merits and risks associated with any investment decisions based on information provided through our Service.

AI-Generated Content

Our Service may include content generated by artificial intelligence systems. Such content is subject to the same disclaimers, limitations of liability, and terms as all other content provided through our Service.

Account Registration and Responsibilities

To use our Service, you must create an account and provide accurate information. You are responsible for:

• Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
• All activities that occur under your account
• Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized access
• Providing accurate and current contact information

SMS Messaging Terms

SMS notifications are available only for phone numbers in the United States and Canada. We do not send SMS messages to phone numbers outside these countries.

By enabling SMS notifications, you consent to receive text messages from TickStock. You understand that:

• Message frequency depends on your alert settings and market activity. Alerts are grouped together to minimize the number of messages you receive.
• Alert text messages are limited to 200 per account per calendar month (UTC). Only messages that are successfully sent count toward this limit. Once the limit is reached, alerts that use SMS will not be texted until the limit resets at the start of the next month. Those alerts still appear on your notifications page, and we will email you once per month when the limit is reached.
• You can opt out at any time by replying "STOP". After you send the SMS message "STOP" to us, we will send you an SMS message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. After this, you will no longer receive SMS messages from us. If you want to join again, just sign up as you did the first time and we will start sending SMS messages to you again.
• If you are experiencing issues with the messaging program you can reply with the keyword HELP for more assistance, or you can get help directly at support@tickstock.app.
• Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages
• As always, message and data rates may apply for any messages sent to you from us and to us from you. If you have any questions about your text plan or data plan, it is best to contact your wireless provider.
• If you have any questions regarding privacy, please read our Privacy Policy

Our SMS communications comply with Twilio's Messaging Policy and applicable regulations including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any illegal purpose or in violation of any laws
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers
• Perform actions with the intention of overwhelming our systems
• Use automated systems to access the Service without permission
• Redistribute or resell our data or services

Subscription and Billing

Our Service offers both free and paid subscription tiers. For paid subscriptions:

• Billing is processed through Stripe
• New accounts receive a 90-day free trial of the Pro tier. No payment details are required to start the trial, and you will not be charged during it. The trial is limited to one per person.
• If you have not added a payment method by the end of the trial, your subscription pauses and your account reverts to the Free tier. Features beyond the Free tier limits, including alerts and watchlist entries above those limits, are suspended at that point.
• Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled
• You may upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings
• Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you will retain access to paid features until that time
• Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable for partial billing periods or unused services.
• We may change pricing with 30 days notice

Data Accuracy and Disclaimers

While we strive to provide accurate and timely information, we cannot guarantee:

• 100% accuracy of stock prices or market data
• Real-time pricing data
• Delivery of all alerts due to technical issues
• Uninterrupted service availability
• Compatibility with all devices and carriers

You acknowledge that market data may be delayed and should not be relied upon for time-sensitive trading decisions. In particular, stock and ETF intraday data provided through the Service is delayed by at least 15 minutes. We encourage you to verify any data against a company's official SEC filings and other authoritative sources before making decisions.

Intellectual Property

TickStock and its content, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, and software, are protected by intellectual property laws. You may not republish our content in full, or reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from it, without our written permission. You may quote limited snippets of our content provided you do not modify them and you clearly attribute them to TickStock.

Third-Party Content and Links

The Service may display content from third parties, such as company news, and may contain links to other websites. We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for any third-party content, products, or services, and we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of them. Your use of third-party websites is governed by their own terms and policies.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TICKSTOCK SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EXCEPT IN CASES OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

Our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless TickStock LLC, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the Service or violation of these Terms.

Termination

We may terminate or suspend your account and access to the Service at any time, with or without cause or notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately, and we may delete your account and data within 30 days.

Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, without regard to conflict of law principles. You and TickStock agree to attempt to resolve any disputes through good faith negotiation first. If a dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation within 30 days, either party may pursue resolution through the courts of South Carolina or, by mutual agreement, through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association conducted in South Carolina.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing to be effective.

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, or any rights or obligations under them, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Force Majeure

We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, governmental actions, or failures of networks, hosting providers, or other third-party services.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and TickStock regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements or understandings.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 4, 2026

Introduction

At TickStock LLC ('TickStock', 'we', 'us', or 'our'), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our alerting platform for stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies. Our service provides price and event notifications and does not constitute financial advice. Your use of the Service is also governed by our Terms of Service.

Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly to us, such as when you create an account, subscribe to our service, or create alerts. This may include:

• Email address
• Password (securely hashed and stored)
• Mobile phone number (for SMS alerts, if enabled)
• Push subscription details (for push notifications, if enabled): a browser-provided endpoint URL, cryptographic keys used to encrypt push payloads, and a short device label (for example, "iPad" or "Mac") so you can identify and manage each registration. These are stored per device you enable push on.
• Alert preferences and the stocks, ETFs, or cryptocurrencies you choose to monitor
• Billing information processed by our payment provider (Stripe). We do not store payment card details on our systems.
• Usage data and platform interactions

We also automatically collect certain technical information when you use our service, including IP address, browser type, device information, and use cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookies section below.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to provide and improve our service.

Essential Cookies

We use cookies to:

• Keep you logged in during your session
• Provide secure access to your account and alert preferences
• Enable core platform functionality

These cookies are necessary for our service to function properly and cannot be disabled while using the platform.

Analytics

We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics service, to understand aggregate usage of our platform. This service does not use cookies or collect personal data that identifies you. You can read more about Plausible's data policy.

Local Storage

We store small amounts of data in your browser's local storage to support core features, including navigation history and your push notification registration for this browser. This data stays on your device and can be cleared through your browser settings.

Cookie Management

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will affect platform functionality and may prevent you from accessing certain features. We will seek your consent before using non-essential cookies where required by law.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is no industry-standard approach for responding to DNT signals, and our analytics are privacy-focused and cookieless, so we do not currently respond to DNT signals. We will update this section if our practices change.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal information based on:

• Your consent (for SMS notifications, push notifications, and marketing communications)
• Contractual necessity (to provide our alerting service)
• Legitimate business interests (to improve and secure our platform)

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide and maintain our alerting service for stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies
• Process and deliver your price and event alert notifications via email, SMS, and push
• Send SMS text messages for your alerts (with your consent)
• Deliver push notifications to your registered browsers and devices (with your consent)
• Process subscription payments through our payment provider
• Improve and optimize our platform performance
• Ensure platform security and prevent fraud
• Communicate important service updates

Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only in these limited circumstances:

• With service providers who help us operate our platform (email/SMS delivery, push delivery via browser vendor push services, hosting, payment processing, analytics)
• When required by law or legal process
• To protect our rights or safety, or that of our users
• In connection with a business transfer or acquisition

Third-Party Service Providers

We rely on trusted third parties to operate our platform. These providers process only the information needed to perform their services on our behalf:

• Cloudflare, for hosting and content delivery
• Supabase, for authentication and database services
• Upstash, for caching and rate limiting
• Stripe, for subscription payment processing
• Resend, for transactional and notification email delivery
• Twilio, for SMS message delivery
• Pusher, for real-time in-app updates such as live prices and notification counts
• Plausible Analytics, for privacy-focused, cookieless usage analytics
• HelpScout, which powers our in-app support widget. When you open support while signed in, we share your email and account identifier so we can assist you

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your personal information
• Correct inaccurate information
• Delete your account and associated data
• Restrict or object to certain processing of your information
• Opt out of marketing communications
• Data portability (where applicable)

To exercise these rights, contact us at support@tickstock.app.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom and believe we have not complied with data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

Data Controller

TickStock is the controller responsible for your personal information. For privacy-related questions or to exercise your rights, contact us at support@tickstock.app.

California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), gives you the right to know what personal information we collect, to access and delete it, to correct inaccurate information, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. You may exercise these rights, without discrimination, by contacting us at support@tickstock.app.

Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. After account deletion, we may retain certain information for legal compliance, dispute resolution, and security purposes for up to 7 years.

SMS Communications and Opt-Out

If you enable SMS notifications, you consent to receive text messages about your price and event alerts. You can opt out anytime by:

• Replying "STOP" to any SMS message
• Updating preferences in your account settings
• Contacting us directly at support@tickstock.app

Standard message and data rates may apply. Message frequency depends on your alert settings and market activity.

Push Notifications and Opt-Out

If you enable push notifications, you consent to receive notifications about your price and event alerts on the browsers and devices you have registered. When you enable push on a device, your browser provides us with an endpoint URL and encryption keys which we use only to deliver notifications you've requested. We do not use these endpoints for advertising or share them with third parties beyond the browser vendor's push service required for delivery (e.g., Apple, Google, Mozilla, Microsoft).

You can opt out anytime by:

• Toggling push off, or removing individual devices, in the Push Notifications section of your Preferences page
• Revoking notification permission in your browser or OS settings
• Contacting us directly at support@tickstock.app

On iOS and iPadOS, push is only available when you install TickStock to your Home Screen using Safari's "Add to Home Screen" option. Uninstalling the app also removes its push subscription. Message frequency depends on your alert settings and market activity.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption, secure data storage, and access controls to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed and stored in the United States. If you're located outside the US, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for international data transfers.

Age Restrictions

Our service is not intended for individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We'll notify you of material changes via email or platform notification at least 30 days before they take effect.
