By creating an account, subscribing, or otherwise using Blue Chip Swing Trader™ (the "Service"), operated by Benjamin Sley, a sole proprietorship doing business as Blue Chip Swing Trader ("BCST," "we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
The Service is a fundamentals-and-technicals stock screener for the S&P 500, providing deterministic scoring, optional AI-generated commentary ("AI Analysis"), and an optional AI-driven comparative feature ("AI Bracket"). The Service is provided for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice. See Section 5.
Subscriptions are billed monthly through Stripe. New subscriptions include a 15-day free trial; a valid payment method is required at signup, and billing begins automatically when the trial ends unless you cancel first. Subscriptions renew automatically each month until cancelled.
You may cancel at any time through the in-app Billing Portal. If you cancel, your subscription will not renew, but you will retain access to the Service through the end of the billing period you have already paid for. All fees are non-refundable, including partial-month fees, except where required by applicable law. We do not prorate refunds for early cancellation.
You may not, without BCST's prior written permission:
BCST is a data analytics and screening tool. We are not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, or financial planner, and nothing in the Service — including deterministic scores, rankings, AI Analysis, AI Bracket output, charts, or any other content — constitutes investment, financial, legal, or tax advice, or a recommendation or solicitation to buy or sell any security.
You acknowledge and agree that:
The AI Bracket feature requires you to supply your own Anthropic API key, which is stored only in your browser's local storage and used solely to make requests directly from your browser to Anthropic's API. BCST never receives, stores, or has access to this key.
You are solely responsible for (a) any charges incurred on your own Anthropic account, (b) securing your own key, and (c) your compliance with Anthropic's own terms of service. BCST is not responsible for Anthropic's API availability, pricing, output accuracy, or any charges you incur; your use of the Anthropic API is governed solely by your separate agreement with Anthropic.
BCST is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or associated with Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., or any of their subsidiaries. Data is provided via Yahoo Finance; charts via Chart.js. All underlying investment methodologies referenced are used purely for descriptive, educational purposes.
Any testimonial, quote, or statement from a third party displayed on the Service or our website (including the statement from Judge Paul R. Michel (Ret.)) is presented together with, and subject to, the disclaimer accompanying that statement at the point of display. No such statement should be construed as an endorsement of BCST, its methodology, or its performance unless the accompanying disclaimer expressly says so.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BCST and its owner from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your access to or use of the Service; (b) your trading or investment decisions; (c) your breach of these Terms; (d) your misuse of your own Anthropic API key or BYOK features; or (e) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.
You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old, are legally permitted to trade securities in your jurisdiction, and are accessing and using the Service in compliance with all laws applicable to you.
The Service is intended primarily for users located in the United States. We make no representation that the Service is appropriate, legal, or available for use in any particular jurisdiction outside the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, including any local consumer-protection, securities, or data-protection laws that may apply to you. Nothing in this Section limits any mandatory protections you may be entitled to under the law of your country of residence that cannot be waived by agreement.
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions. Nothing in this Section 13 is intended to override Section 14 (Arbitration Agreement) as to disputes subject to arbitration.
a) Agreement to Arbitrate. Except as set forth in subsection (c) below, you and BCST agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or, at BCST's election, JAMS, under its applicable consumer or commercial arbitration rules then in effect. The seat of arbitration shall be Harris County, Texas. The arbitrator, not any court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement.
b) Class Action Waiver. You and BCST agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be conducted in each party's individual capacity only and not as a class action or other representative action, and each party expressly waives any right to file or participate in a class, collective, or representative action.
c) Small Claims / Justice Court Carve-Out. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in the Justice of the Peace Court for the applicable precinct in Harris County, Texas, provided the claim falls within that court's jurisdictional limit (currently claims up to $20,000). This carve-out does not permit class, collective, or representative claims.
d) Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to support@bluechipswingtrader.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, account email, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, disputes will instead be resolved exclusively in the state and federal courts located in Harris County, Texas, as set forth in Section 13.
e) Severability of This Section. If any part of this Section 14 is found unenforceable, the remainder shall remain in effect, except that if the Class Action Waiver in subsection (b) is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) shall proceed in court rather than arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 14 shall continue to apply to all other claims.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, for violation of these Terms, including unauthorized use or redistribution of licensed materials as described in Section 4, or for any conduct we reasonably believe is harmful to BCST, other users, or third parties. You may terminate your account at any time as described in Section 3.
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice (such as by posting an updated version on the Service with a new "Last updated" date, or by email). Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
If any provision of these Terms (other than as addressed in Section 14(e)) is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and BCST regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.
Questions about these Terms can be sent to support@bluechipswingtrader.com.
