Terms of Use

Last updated August 14, 2026 · Beta

These terms are a contract between you and the operator of Thesis (“Thesis,” “we,” “us”). By creating an account or using the app you agree to them. They're short on purpose — read them once.

1. What Thesis is

A research, education and social-discovery app for market data. Not a brokerage, not advice.

Thesis provides market information, educational explanations, and aggregate, consent-based social features. It does not provide brokerage services, investment advice, recommendations, portfolio management, or order execution of any kind. The Disclosures are part of these terms.

2. Who can use it

18+, real humans, one account each.

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live, if higher) to create an account. You agree to provide accurate information, keep your password secure, and not impersonate anyone. Accounts are for humans — no bots, scrapers, or automated access.

3. Your responsibilities

  • Financial decisions are yours alone. Verify any data with your brokerage or a primary source before acting on it.
  • Don't misuse the service: no attempting to break, overload, reverse-engineer, or extract bulk data from it.
  • Don't use Thesis to harass anyone or to present its content as personalized financial advice to others.
  • Invite links are for people you actually know. Don't spam them.

4. Social features and your content

There's no posting on Thesis. The only "content" you generate is your activity, and you control whether it's shared.

Thesis has no posts, comments, direct messages or replies. The only thing you can publish is a pack — a named list of assets we already cover, optionally with a one-line description. You choose each pack's audience: private, your friends, or public. Packs may only contain assets from the Thesis universe, and public packs are rate-limited per account.

You are responsible for what you name and publish. Don't use a pack to promote a security, solicit anyone, imply an endorsement by Thesis, or pass off a recommendation as a reading list. We may remove any pack, or any account, for that or for anything unlawful — packs are lists, not advice, and nothing in a pack is a recommendation by us or by anyone. Your research activity may separately power aggregate insights about your friends only if you opt in, as described in the Privacy Policy. You can turn sharing off, or delete your account and all its data, at any time in settings.

5. Intellectual property

The Thesis app, brand, and original content are ours or our licensors'. Market data belongs to its providers. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the app for its intended purpose. Share cards generated by the app are yours to share.

6. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The app is provided as-is; we're not liable for investment losses. This is standard, and also simply true of a research tool.

THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THESIS AND ITS OPERATOR WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY TRADING OR INVESTMENT LOSSES, LOST PROFITS, OR LOST DATA, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE — EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, IT IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF $50 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS (CURRENTLY: $0 — THESIS IS FREE).

Some jurisdictions don't allow certain exclusions, so parts of the above may not apply to you.

7. Termination and changes

You can stop using Thesis or delete your account at any time. We may suspend accounts that violate these terms, and may modify or discontinue the service (it's a beta). We may update these terms; material changes will be posted in the app with a fresh "last updated" date, and continued use means acceptance.

8. Governing law & contact

These terms are governed by the laws of the operator's jurisdiction of residence in the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Questions, bug reports, or data requests: use the contact option on the About page.
