1. Definitions
For the purposes of these Terms of Service:
- “Service” means the Easier Prop API and any related software, infrastructure, and documentation provided by Easier Prop.
- “API” means the application programming interface, including REST endpoints and WebSocket connections, made available by Easier Prop.
- “Partner” means any legal entity or individual that accesses the Service under these Terms, including white-label integrators.
- “End User” means any third party that accesses a product or service built by the Partner on top of the Service.
- “MT5 Credentials” means the login credentials for a MetaTrader 5 brokerage account voluntarily submitted by the Partner or End User.
- “Broker” means the regulated financial intermediary with whom the Partner or End User holds a live trading account.
2. Nature of the Service
2.1 Technology Provider
Easier Prop is exclusively a technology provider. The Service is a software gateway that enables programmatic access to MetaTrader 5 broker accounts via a native TCP protocol. Easier Prop is not a broker, financial intermediary, investment advisor, custodian, or regulated financial service provider of any kind.
2.2 Positions Live on the Broker
All trading positions, Stop Loss and Take Profit orders, and account balances reside exclusively on the Broker’s servers. The Service acts as a pass-through interface. In any event of Service unavailability, Partners and End Users retain full direct access to their positions via the MetaTrader 5 client application or any other interface provided by their Broker.
2.3 No Custody of Funds
Easier Prop does not hold, manage, or have access to any funds. All funds remain within the Partner’s or End User’s brokerage account at all times.
3. API Access & Acceptable Use
3.1 API Key
Access to the Service is granted via an API key issued upon registration and acceptance of these Terms. The API key is personal and non-transferable. The Partner is solely responsible for keeping the API key confidential and for all activity occurring under it.
3.2 Acceptable Use
The Partner agrees to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including those of the jurisdiction in which the Partner and End Users operate. The Partner shall not:
- Use the Service to facilitate market manipulation, front-running, or any activity prohibited by applicable financial regulation.
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Service.
- Resell or sublicense access to the Service without prior written agreement with Easier Prop.
- Use the Service in a manner that causes disproportionate load or disrupts service for other users.
3.3 Order Execution
The Service transmits trade orders to the Broker as specified in the API request payload. The enforcement of risk parameters, including Stop Loss and Take Profit levels, is the sole responsibility of the Partner’s application layer. Easier Prop does not validate, filter, or reject orders based on the presence or absence of risk parameters unless explicitly configured otherwise in a separate written agreement.
4. MT5 Credentials & Data
4.1 Storage
MT5 Credentials submitted to the Service are stored encrypted at rest using AES-256 in a managed PostgreSQL database. Easier Prop implements reasonable security measures consistent with industry standards for a technology provider at its stage of development.
4.2 No Guarantee
Notwithstanding the security measures described above, Easier Prop does not warrant that unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of Credentials is impossible. The Partner assumes full responsibility for the decision to submit MT5 Credentials to the Service.
4.3 Data Responsibility
The Partner is the data controller for all personal data of End Users. The Partner is solely responsible for compliance with applicable data protection law, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable, in relation to End Users. Easier Prop processes data strictly as a data processor on behalf of the Partner, limited to what is technically necessary to operate the Service.
5. Service Availability
5.1 As-Is
The Service is provided “as-is” and “as available” without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted availability. Easier Prop does not guarantee any specific uptime percentage.
5.2 Planned and Unplanned Downtime
Easier Prop may perform maintenance, updates, or emergency interventions at any time. Easier Prop will make reasonable efforts to notify Partners in advance of planned maintenance where practicable, but is under no obligation to do so.
5.3 Continuity During Downtime
As described in Section 2.2, any Service downtime does not affect the Partner’s or End User’s ability to manage positions directly via the Broker’s native interfaces. Easier Prop shall not be liable for any financial consequences arising from inability to access the Service, regardless of cause.
6. Limitation of Liability
6.1 Exclusion of Financial Losses
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EASIER PROP SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY TRADING LOSSES, MISSED TRADES, MARGIN CALLS, LIQUIDATIONS, OR ANY OTHER FINANCIAL LOSSES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE USE OF THE SERVICE, ITS UNAVAILABILITY, OR ANY ERRORS IN ORDER TRANSMISSION.
6.2 Cap on Liability
In any event, Easier Prop’s total aggregate liability to the Partner for any claim arising under or in connection with these Terms shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Partner to Easier Prop in the calendar month immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
6.3 Indirect Damages
Easier Prop shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunity, even if Easier Prop has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
7. Partner Responsibilities
The Partner is solely responsible for:
- Ensuring End Users are informed of the nature of the Service, including that positions reside on the Broker and that Easier Prop is not a regulated financial intermediary.
- Implementing appropriate risk controls in its own application layer, including enforcement of Stop Loss and Take Profit requirements where mandated by applicable rules or internal policy.
- Complying with all applicable financial regulation, licensing requirements, and consumer protection obligations in the jurisdictions where the Partner operates.
- Obtaining any necessary regulatory authorizations before offering trading-related products or services to End Users.
- Maintaining its own business continuity plan that accounts for potential unavailability of the Service.
8. Termination
8.1 By Easier Prop
Easier Prop may suspend or terminate access to the Service at any time, for any reason, with or without notice, including for breach of these Terms, non-payment, or operational necessity.
8.2 By the Partner
The Partner may terminate use of the Service at any time by ceasing to use the API and deactivating its API key. No refund of prepaid fees is guaranteed unless otherwise agreed in writing.
8.3 Effect of Termination
Upon termination, access to the Service is revoked immediately. Open positions on the Broker are not affected and remain under the Partner’s or End User’s control.
9. Changes to These Terms
Easier Prop reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be communicated by posting the updated Terms and updating the version number. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
10. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of San Marino, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of San Marino.
11. Entire Agreement
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, or understandings. No waiver of any term shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
