Legal
Last updated: August 19, 2026
These Terms govern your access to and use of the SmartLog platform at smartlogtrading.com and its three surfaces — the Book (Trading Without Ego), the Journal, and Diagnose — together with any related features (together, “SmartLog”, “we”, “us”).
By creating an account or using SmartLog, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, Risk Disclaimer, and About AI notice, which are incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
Purchases of the book Trading Without Ego made through third parties such as Amazon are governed by that third party’s terms, not these.
You must be at least 18 years old to use SmartLog. By using it you confirm that you are.
You need an account to use most features. You agree to provide accurate information, to verify your email address when asked, and to keep your login credentials secure. You are responsible for activity under your account. One account is a single identity across all three surfaces; you may not share, sell, or transfer your account or let others use it.
SmartLog is offered on the following plans, whose current features and prices are shown at checkout:
We may change, add, or discontinue features. If a change materially reduces what you paid for, we will act in good faith to address it, consistent with your consumer rights.
Payments are processed by Stripe; we do not receive or store your card details. Plans are billed monthly, yearly, or as a one-time lifetime purchase, as selected at checkout.
Monthly and yearly plans renew automatically at the end of each period at the then-current price, until you cancel. A “lifetime” plan is a one-time payment granting access for the operational lifetime of the SmartLog service; it does not create a perpetual obligation to operate the service indefinitely, and does not renew. Prices are in the currency shown at checkout and may change for future periods, with notice.
You may cancel a recurring plan at any time; cancellation stops future renewals and takes effect at the end of the current paid period. You keep access until then.
EU right of withdrawal. As a consumer in the EU, you normally have 14 days to withdraw from a purchase of digital content and services. Because SmartLog gives you immediate access to digital content on purchase, by completing your purchase and starting to use the paid features you expressly request that we begin providing the service immediately and acknowledge that you lose the 14-day right of withdrawal once access has begun. Where this waiver does not apply, or where local law grants you a stronger right, that right prevails.
Outside of mandatory consumer rights, payments are non-refundable except at our discretion or where required by law.
If a paid plan lapses or you downgrade, your access to paid features is revoked at the end of the current period, but your data is preserved, not deleted — your logged trades and setups remain in our systems. On the Free plan, content beyond Free limits becomes read-only rather than being erased. If you upgrade again, your access and data are restored.
You may request deletion of your account and personal data at any time by contacting us; we erase it within 30 days, except records we must keep for legal or accounting reasons (e.g. payment records). See the Privacy Policy.
You retain ownership of the content you create in SmartLog — your trades, setups, notes, and experiment inputs (“Your Content”). Your Content is private to your account.
You grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to host, store, back up, process, and display Your Content back to you, and to transmit it to the processors needed to run the service (including our AI provider, to generate the responses you request), solely for the purpose of providing SmartLog to you. We do not sell Your Content and do not use the content of your individual trades or setups for any purpose other than providing the service.
We may use irreversibly anonymised, aggregated data — patterns across many users that can no longer identify you or your account — to operate and improve the service and to teach the method. This never covers the trades or setups of a specific, identifiable person; using anyone’s individual content to teach requires their explicit consent.
You are responsible for Your Content and confirm you have the right to submit it.
The SmartLog software, the “SmartLog” brand, the book Trading Without Ego, and the underlying method, scripts, text, and design are owned by us or licensed to us, and are protected by intellectual-property law. Your plan grants you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive licence to access this material for your own use, according to your plan.
You may not copy, redistribute, publish, resell, or make available the book text or other SmartLog content beyond your personal use; scrape or bulk-extract the platform; reverse-engineer the software; or use SmartLog or its content to build or train a competing product or service.
Parts of SmartLog use artificial intelligence (currently Anthropic’s Claude), including Diagnose. AI output can be inaccurate or wrong and must not be relied on as fact or as financial advice. See the About AI notice. Your Diagnose inputs are sent to the AI provider only to generate your response and are not used to train AI models.
SmartLog is an educational and journaling tool. It is not a financial adviser, broker, or signal service, and nothing in it is financial, investment, tax, or legal advice or a recommendation to trade. Trading carries a substantial risk of loss. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions. See the Risk Disclaimer.
You agree not to use SmartLog unlawfully, to disrupt or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the service, to upload malicious code, or to infringe the rights of others. We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these Terms.
We work to keep SmartLog available and accurate but provide it “as is” and “as available.” We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that reports and metrics are free of inaccuracies. Reports analyse your own past logged behaviour and do not predict future results.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any trading, investment, or financial losses arising from your use of SmartLog or reliance on its content, nor for indirect or consequential losses. Our total liability to you for any claim relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us for it in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including your mandatory rights as a consumer.
We may update these Terms. We will post the updated version with a new date and, for material changes, notify you in-app or by email. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept them.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Portugal, and the courts of Portugal have jurisdiction, without affecting any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have in your country of residence. As an EU consumer you may also use the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
SmartLog is operated by Marcos Bulcao Nascimento, based in Portugal (NIF 330680935). For any question about these Terms or the service, contact us at marcos@smartlogtrading.com.
