Terms of Service
Please read these terms carefully before accessing or using FastOptionCalc (https://www.fastoptioncalc.com).
Options trading involves high financial risk and is not appropriate for all investors. By using this service, you explicitly acknowledge that theoretical payoff charts and mathematical calculations are educational simulations, not actual market quotes or buy/sell recommendations.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By visiting, accessing, or utilizing any calculator, formula, or software component on FastOptionCalc, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any portion of these terms, you must discontinue use of the website immediately.
2. Nature of Service (Educational Only)
FastOptionCalc provides free, client-side quantitative calculation tools based on the theoretical Black-Scholes-Merton mathematical model. Nothing on this website constitutes investment advice, financial planning, legal counsel, or a solicitation to buy or sell securities. FastOptionCalc is not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, or commodity trading advisor (CTA).
3. Accuracy of Calculations & No Warranty
While we strive for extreme mathematical precision and utilize validated numerical algorithms (including the Abramowitz and Stegun CDF approximation), THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. Real-world market options prices depend on dynamic supply/demand, discrete dividend payments, American-style early exercise behavior, volatility skew, and execution slippage not modeled in basic formulas.
4. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall FastOptionCalc, its developers, operators, or contributors be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special, or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, financial trading losses, loss of capital, lost profits, or business interruption) arising out of or in any way connected with the use or inability to use this website.
5. Intellectual Property
All source code, proprietary user interface designs, logos, graphics, and textual documentation on FastOptionCalc are protected under international copyright and intellectual property laws. You may not scrape, frame, redistribute, or reverse-engineer the proprietary code without prior written authorization.
6. Governing Law
These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the website operator is established, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.
