This Disclaimer ("Disclaimer") governs your access to and use of the website located at optionsgym.fyi (the "Website") and all content, lessons, simulations, and related services made available through it (collectively, the "Service"), which is operated by OptionsGym ("we", "us", or "our"). By accessing or using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Disclaimer in its entirety. If you do not agree with any part of this Disclaimer, you must not access or use the Service.
1. No Financial, Investment, or Professional Advice
The Service is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. Nothing contained in, or made available through, the Service constitutes or is intended to constitute financial advice, investment advice, trading advice, tax advice, legal advice, accounting advice, or any other form of professional advice. Nothing on the Website is, or should be construed as, a recommendation, solicitation, inducement, or offer to buy, sell, hold, or otherwise transact in any security, option, derivative, financial instrument, or other asset, or to adopt or refrain from adopting any investment or trading strategy. The content does not take into account your personal circumstances, financial situation, investment objectives, level of experience, risk tolerance, or particular needs.
2. Educational and Informational Purpose Only
The lessons, simulations, and other materials forming part of the Service are designed to illustrate selected concepts relating to options and risk in a simplified form suitable for teaching. They do not purport to be complete, exhaustive, or a substitute for a comprehensive understanding of financial markets, and they may omit, simplify, or generalise matters that are material to any real-world decision. You should not treat any material on the Website as a complete or authoritative statement of the subject to which it relates.
3. Simulated Trading and "Play Money"
The Service operates exclusively by means of simulated exercises using hypothetical, non-monetary ("play money") values. The Service is not connected to, and does not interact with, any brokerage account, exchange, clearing house, market maker, or live trading facility. It does not place, execute, route, or transmit any order, and it does not involve real money, real securities, or real financial instruments. No position, profit, loss, or other outcome generated within a simulation represents an actual transaction or an actual financial result, and no such outcome should be expected to correspond to results that would have been, or would be, obtained in a real account.
4. Risk Warning: Options and Derivatives
Trading in options and other derivative instruments is highly speculative, carries a high level of risk, and is not suitable for every investor. You should be aware of the following before engaging in any real trading activity:
(a) Risk of total loss. The value of options can move rapidly against you, and an option may expire worthless, resulting in the loss of the entire amount paid for it.
(b) Risk of loss exceeding your investment. Certain strategies, in particular the writing or selling of options, can expose you to substantial, and in some cases theoretically unlimited, losses that significantly exceed any premium received or amount initially invested. You may be required to provide additional funds at short notice to maintain a position.
(c) Leverage. Options are leveraged instruments. A relatively small movement in the price of the underlying asset can result in a disproportionately large movement, favourable or unfavourable, in the value of your position.
(d) Time decay and volatility. The value of an option is affected by the passage of time and by changes in market volatility, among other factors, and may decline even where the price of the underlying asset does not move against you.
(e) Suitability. You should not trade options unless you fully understand the nature of the contracts you are entering into, the extent of your exposure to risk, and your potential obligations. You should carefully consider whether such trading is appropriate for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources, and you should seek independent advice from a licensed broker or financial adviser. Before trading options you should also obtain and review the standardised risk disclosure documents provided by your broker or relevant exchange.
5. Hypothetical and Simulated Performance
Any results, figures, or outcomes presented within or generated by the Service are hypothetical or simulated and are provided for illustration only. Hypothetical and simulated results have inherent limitations: they are prepared with the benefit of hindsight, do not involve or represent actual trading, and do not reflect the impact of real market conditions, liquidity, execution, fees, commissions, slippage, taxes, or the financial and emotional pressures of trading real capital. No representation is made that you, or any person, would or would be likely to achieve results similar to those shown. Past or simulated performance is not a reliable indicator of, and is no guarantee of, future results.
6. No Reliance and Personal Responsibility
You are solely and exclusively responsible for your own financial and trading decisions and for any action you take, or refrain from taking, in reliance on the Service. You should not act, or omit to act, on the basis of any information or material provided through the Service without conducting your own independent research and obtaining advice tailored to your circumstances from a suitably qualified and licensed professional. Any use you make of the Service, and any reliance you place on it, is entirely at your own risk.
7. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship
Your access to or use of the Service does not create any adviser-client, broker-client, fiduciary, agency, or other professional or special relationship between you and us. We do not manage any account, do not exercise any discretion over any assets, and assume no duty of care towards you in respect of any financial or trading decision.
8. Regulatory Status
We are not a bank, broker-dealer, investment firm, portfolio manager, or licensed or registered investment adviser, and we do not provide any regulated financial service. We are not authorised or regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) or by any other securities, financial, or other regulatory authority in any jurisdiction. Nothing on the Website should be taken to suggest that we hold any such authorisation or that the Service constitutes a regulated activity.
9. Accuracy of Information and No Warranty
The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While we endeavour to ensure that the content is useful and broadly accurate, we make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, reliability, currency, or fitness for any particular purpose of any information or material provided through the Service. The Service may contain errors, omissions, or simplifications, and the market mechanics it depicts are stylised for teaching and may differ from those of any real market. We do not warrant that the Website will be available without interruption or free from error.

Where you click such a link and subsequently register for or purchase a third-party service, we may receive a commission or other compensation, at no additional cost to you. The presence of any such link or banner is provided for convenience and informational purposes only and does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, guarantee, or investment advice in respect of the relevant product, service, or provider. You should carry out your own due diligence before purchasing or using any third-party product or service.
11. Third-Party Content, Data, and Links
Any prices, figures, examples, or market data referred to within the Service are used for illustrative and educational purposes only, may be hypothetical, delayed, or inaccurate, and must not be relied upon for any actual trading or financial decision.

13. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we, together with our operators, contributors, and suppliers, shall not be liable for any loss or damage of any kind, whether direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary, including without limitation any trading or investment losses, loss of profit, loss of opportunity, or loss of data, arising out of or in connection with your access to, use of, or inability to use the Service, or your reliance on any content provided through it, whether based in contract, tort, statute, or otherwise, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such loss or damage. Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
14. Governing Law
This Disclaimer, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Cyprus, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
