Zevrant Forge Client Agreement

Last updated: November 1, 2026.

Parties

This Client Agreement (the "Agreement") is between Grit Docket LLC, a Colorado limited liability company doing business as Zevrant ("Zevrant," "we," "us"), and you, the person who accepts it when signing up ("Client," "you"). It takes effect on the date you accept it by ticking the box at checkout (the "Effective Date").

1. The services

1.1 Setup. Zevrant provides software (the "Agent," also called Zevrant Forge or "Forge") that carries out trading rules you write and confirm (your "Rules") in your own brokerage account at Alpaca (your "Account"), together with written setup materials, a setup message your own Claude follows, and written help by email (together, the "Setup Services"). You set up the Agent yourself, in your own accounts. Zevrant does not offer calls or screen sharing and never signs in to your accounts. Setup ends with a setup test on your practice account (Section 5.1). After the setup test, you choose whether the Agent trades in your practice (paper) account or your real-money account (Section 5.5).

1.2 Support (optional). If you choose a Support plan, Zevrant will provide the support described in Section 6 (the "Support Services"). The Setup Services and Support Services together are the "Services."

1.3 What the Services are. The Services are software, software updates, written setup materials, and written technical support. The Agent follows your Rules and your risk limits. It does not make independent investment decisions.

1.4 What the Services are not. Zevrant does not manage your Account, hold your money or securities, place trades on its own judgment, or act as your broker, investment adviser, or fiduciary.

2. No investment advice

2.1 Zevrant does not provide investment, financial, tax, or legal advice. Zevrant does not recommend any security, strategy, rule, building block, risk limit, or launch mode, and does not tell you whether any of them is suitable for you.

2.2 Zevrant may describe how a building block or software feature works. That description is technical information only, not a recommendation to use it.

2.3 Zevrant does not review your trading results to advise you on what to change. You make any change to your Rules or risk limits yourself, on your My rules page; Zevrant does not change them.

2.4 Zevrant is not registered as an investment adviser or broker-dealer with the SEC, FINRA, or any state. You should consult a licensed professional if you want investment advice.

3. Your responsibilities and your Rules

3.1 You write your Rules. You choose which securities the Agent may trade and write your Rules, either from scratch or by choosing and combining Zevrant's general building blocks. Your Rules must be expressed using the building blocks available in the Agent at the time. Zevrant does not enter, set up, or suggest Rules for you. Zevrant does not write custom code for an individual client's Rules. Zevrant may add new building blocks to the Agent over time, at its discretion. You confirm each version of your Rules on your My rules page, after reading its plain-English summary and ticking the written confirmations, by typing your name (Exhibit B). A confirmed version takes effect at your next morning run if confirmed at least 15 minutes before it, otherwise on the next trading day. Until your first version is in effect, the kill switch stays on and the Agent places nothing.

3.2 You set your risk limits. You choose your position-size limits, daily loss limit, maximum open positions, and any other limits. The Agent is built to stop at those limits, but limits do not prevent losses (see Section 9).

3.3 You watch your Account. You agree to review your Account and the Agent's activity regularly (at least weekly), to check your Forge Today page and answer proposals before their deadline, and to use the kill switch or turn off the Agent if anything looks wrong.

3.4 Accurate information. You confirm that you are at least 18, that the Account is yours, that you meet your broker's requirements, and that you are not relying on Zevrant to judge whether trading is right for you.

3.5 Your own accounts and costs. You maintain, at your own cost, your Alpaca account, a paid Claude plan (Pro or higher) from Anthropic, a GitHub account, and a computer for setup. You pay those providers directly.

4. Account, keys, and access

4.1 You control your keys. You create and hold your own Alpaca API keys and logins, and you type your keys into your own Claude account's settings yourself. Zevrant will never ask for, see, store, or use your broker, GitHub, or Claude passwords or API keys, and will never log into those accounts. The setup materials tell your own Claude not to look at, read, or display your keys.

4.2 Your repository. The Agent's code, your settings, and your records are stored in one private GitHub repository that you own, made from Zevrant's private template (the "Repository"). Zevrant is never added to the Repository and cannot see or change anything in it. As part of setup you install the Zevrant Forge Checks app on the Repository; it lets Zevrant start your Forge checks job and read that job's log only. The log shows your alert name, run times, alert wording, a receipt for each Rules version you confirm (version number, typed name, and time), software update notices, and the software version. It never shows your Rules, amounts, positions, trades, or keys.

4.3 Software updates. While this Agreement is in effect, with or without a Support plan, you keep access to Zevrant's template, and your Agent checks for new software releases and installs them itself, after running its own tests. Updates include bug fixes and safety fixes. If a test fails, it keeps the version it has and tells you. Updates never change your Rules, limits, controls, or records. Zevrant will not change your Rules or limits.

4.4 Removing access. You may uninstall the Zevrant Forge Checks app at any time. Zevrant's timer then can no longer check your runs, and Zevrant receives no alerts or receipts from you. The Agent keeps running as set up until you turn it off.

4.5 Personal trading. Zevrant and its owner will not use any information about your Rules, positions, or trades for their own trading.

5. Launch modes

5.1 Setup test first. Before you turn the kill switch off, your own Claude runs a setup test on your practice account to confirm the Agent connects to your Account, follows your limits, and stops when the kill switch is used. The setup guarantee in Section 7.3 is based on this test.

5.2 You choose the mode. You choose one of two modes on your My rules page. Every client starts in Proposal mode.

• Proposal mode: the Agent proposes each trade and places it only if you approve it before the deadline shown. No answer, or an answer after the deadline, places nothing.
• Auto mode: the Agent places trades on its own, following your Rules and limits, without asking first, and reports to you afterward.

5.3 Only you change modes. You may switch modes at any time on your My rules page. Zevrant will never switch your mode.

5.4 Auto mode. If you choose Auto mode, you understand that trades will be placed without your approval of each one, and you accept the added risk, which you confirm in writing on your My rules page (Exhibit A).

5.5 Practice or real money. Which account the Agent trades in is a separate choice from the mode, and it is yours. The Agent starts on your practice account. You may switch it to your real-money account only by a deliberate written confirmation on your own pages, and you can switch back at any time. Zevrant does not recommend either choice. Practice trades are simulated, and their fills and prices can differ from real orders; practice results do not predict real results.

6. Support plans (optional)

6.1 Support includes: written help by email at any time, and missed-run monitoring: Zevrant is alerted if a scheduled run does not happen and lets you know by email. You change your own Rules and limits yourself, on your My rules page.

6.2 What support does not include: reviewing your trading results, advising on what to trade or which Rules to use, or monitoring your Account balance or positions. Reply times are not guaranteed, and support cannot fix outages at Alpaca, Anthropic, GitHub, or other third parties.

6.3 Without a Support plan, the Agent keeps running as set up and keeps receiving software updates, including safety fixes (Section 4.3). You get written help by email until the setup guarantee period ends (Section 7.3). After that, written help and missed-run monitoring require a Support plan, which you can add at any time.

7. Fees, payment, and refunds

7.1 Setup fee. The setup fee is the price shown at checkout when you sign up. The full setup fee is due when you sign up.

7.2 Support fees. If you choose a Support plan, it is billed monthly or yearly in advance, as you choose, at the price shown at checkout, starting on the day you sign up for it. You can cancel Support anytime by emailing hello@zevrant.com; it stays active until the end of the month or year already paid for, and part of a month or year is not refunded. Fees are flat and never based on your Account size, balance, or trading results.

7.3 Refunds. Setup guarantee: if your setup does not pass the setup test on your practice account (Forge connects to your practice account, follows the limits you set, and stops when you use the kill switch), and Zevrant cannot get it to pass through written help by email, Zevrant refunds the setup fee in full. You must ask within 30 days of paying for setup. Refunds go to the original payment method, usually within 10 business days. A setup refund also cancels any Support plan and refunds any Support payments made. The guarantee does not cover trading results (gains or losses are never refunded), costs charged by other companies (such as your Claude plan or broker), or a change of mind after the setup test has passed. Support fees are not refunded for part of a month or year.

7.4 Cancelling support. You may cancel a support plan at any time by email. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period (month or year).

7.5 Payment. Payments are made through Stripe. Late support payments may pause Support Services until paid. Prices may change with 30 days' written notice; changes do not affect fees already paid.

7.6 Taxes. Fees do not include any sales or use taxes that may apply, which you will pay if charged.

8. Third-party services

8.1 The Agent depends on services Zevrant does not control, including Alpaca (your brokerage), Anthropic (Claude), GitHub, and market data providers. Your use of those services is governed by your own agreements with them.

8.2 Zevrant is not responsible for outages, errors, delays, rule changes, pricing changes, or discontinued features at any third party, or for any losses they cause. If a third party changes its service in a way that stops the Agent from working, Zevrant will make reasonable efforts to restore it, but cannot guarantee it.

8.3 Market data used by the Agent comes from third parties and may be delayed or inaccurate.

9. Risk disclosure

You understand and accept that:

• Trading securities involves substantial risk, including the loss of some or all of the money in your Account.
• Your Rules may lose money. Past results, backtests, and simulations do not predict future results.
• Software can fail. The Agent may place, miss, duplicate, or mis-size trades because of bugs, data errors, connection problems, or third-party outages.
• Some days the Agent will place no trades at all, either by design (Section 10) or because a service it depends on is unavailable.
• Risk limits and the kill switch reduce risk but do not prevent losses. Fast markets, gaps, and halts can cause losses beyond your limits.
• AI systems can behave unexpectedly, and Auto mode places trades without your approval of each one.
• Practice (paper) trades are simulated; their fills and prices can differ from what real orders would get.
• If you choose leveraged or inverse ETFs, they can move two to three times as much as the market in a single day and can lose value over time even when the market is flat. Losses can exceed your stop levels.
• You are solely responsible for your trading decisions, your Rules, and the results in your Account.

10. No guarantee

10.1 Zevrant does not guarantee any trading result, profit, or protection from loss.

10.2 The Services and the Agent are provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent the law allows, Zevrant disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. Zevrant will perform the Services with reasonable care and skill.

10.3 Runs and trades are not guaranteed. The Agent is scheduled to run once each trading day, with check-ins during the day, but a run can start late, be skipped, or not happen at all. An approved or rule-triggered trade may not be placed, may be placed late, or may fill at a different price than shown.

10.4 Doing nothing is the safe default. When data is missing, a setting is unclear, a check fails, a service is unavailable, or the kill switch, Pause, or Zevrant's safety brake is on, the Agent is designed to place no new orders. This is intended behavior, not a failure of the Services.

10.5 Safety checks can skip trades. Before placing an approved trade, the Agent checks your limits and the price again. It skips the trade, for example, if the price has moved more than 2% since the proposal or the trade no longer fits your limits.

10.6 Zevrant's safety brake. Zevrant may turn on a hold that stops new buys for all clients at once, only when a software defect could place wrong orders for any client. While it is on, sells, broker-held stops, and your controls keep working. Zevrant never uses it for market conditions or as a trading decision.

10.7 When something must happen now. If you need an order cancelled or placed immediately, use your broker's own app or website. The Agent records what you did at its next run.

11. Limitation of liability

11.1 No liability for trading losses. Zevrant is not liable for any trading losses, lost profits, or missed opportunities in your Account, whatever the cause, including errors in the Agent, and runs or trades that did not happen, happened late, or were skipped by the Agent's safety checks or Zevrant's safety brake, unless caused by Zevrant's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

11.2 No indirect damages. Zevrant is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.

11.3 Cap. Zevrant's total liability for any claim relating to this Agreement is limited to the fees you paid Zevrant in the 12 months before the claim arose.

11.4 Some of these limits may not apply where the law does not allow them.

12. Indemnification

You agree to hold Zevrant harmless from claims, losses, and costs (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from your Rules, your trading, your breach of this Agreement, or your breach of your agreements with your broker, Anthropic, or GitHub.

13. Confidentiality and data

13.1 Zevrant has no access to your Rules, settings, or records. Anything you choose to share with Zevrant (for example a support report) is kept confidential and used only to answer you, unless the law requires disclosure.

13.2 Zevrant does not receive, collect, or store your balances, positions, trades, or Rules. They are kept in your Repository, which Zevrant cannot access. When you ask for help, your Claude can make a support report that leaves out your Rules, amounts, and keys; you choose whether to send it. Zevrant keeps the receipts described in Section 4.2 as its record of each Rules version you confirmed. Zevrant's handling of personal information is described in its Privacy Policy at zevrant.com.

13.3 Zevrant will not use your name or describe your setup publicly (for example, in a testimonial) without your written permission. Any testimonial will cover the Services only, never trading results.

14. Ownership

14.1 Zevrant owns the Agent software, building blocks, documentation, and all improvements to them. You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Agent in your own Account for your own trading while this Agreement is in effect, and afterward as provided in Section 15.4.

14.2 You own your Rules and your Account data.

14.3 You may not resell, share, or copy the Agent for use by anyone else.

15. Term and termination

15.1 This Agreement starts on the Effective Date and continues until ended by either party.

15.2 You may end this Agreement at any time by email. Zevrant may end it with 14 days' written notice, or immediately if you breach it or if continuing would violate law or a third party's terms.

15.3 On termination, Zevrant removes your access to its template, so your Agent stops receiving software updates, and Support Services stop. Zevrant has no access to your Repository to remove. Fees already paid are handled under Section 7.

15.4 After termination you may keep using the Agent as installed in your own Account, without support or updates, at your own risk.

15.5 Sections 2, 9 through 14, and 16 through 17 survive termination.

16. Governing law and disputes

16.1 This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Colorado.

16.2 The parties will first try to resolve any dispute by good-faith discussion for 30 days. After that, any dispute will be decided in the state courts located in Jefferson County, Colorado, or in small claims court where eligible.

17. General

17.1 Entire agreement. This Agreement, its exhibits, and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between the parties about the Services.

17.2 Changes. Changes to this Agreement must be in writing and accepted by both parties. Email is enough.

17.3 Notices. Notices go to Zevrant at hello@zevrant.com and to you at the email address you gave when you signed up.

17.4 Independent parties. The parties are independent contractors. Nothing here creates a partnership, agency, employment, or fiduciary relationship.

17.5 Severability. If any part of this Agreement is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.

17.6 Assignment. You may not transfer this Agreement without Zevrant's consent. Zevrant may transfer it to a successor business with notice to you.

17.7 Electronic signatures are valid and binding.

Acceptance

By ticking the box at checkout to accept this Agreement, you confirm you have read it, including the Risk Disclosure (Section 9), the Limitation of Liability (Section 11), and the statement that Zevrant provides no investment advice (Section 2).

Exhibit A: Written confirmations on your My rules page

You give these confirmations electronically, by ticking them on your My rules page and typing your name, each time you confirm a Rules version. Forge does not accept a version with a required confirmation missing. Each one is saved with that version (Exhibit B).

• My choices. I chose every building block and number in these Rules. Zevrant did not recommend them.
• Risk. Trading involves risk, including loss of principal. Limits and stops don't prevent losses.
• Taxes. Tax questions, including holding periods and wash sales, are for my CPA or tax professional.
• Auto mode (only if chosen). I chose Auto mode and understand Forge will place orders without asking me first.
• Fractional shares (only if chosen). I've read the notes on day-only stops and no broker-held trailing stops with fractional shares.
• Leveraged or inverse funds (only if on my list). These can move two to three times the market in a day and lose value over time; Zevrant did not suggest them.
• Current holdings (only when a change affects positions Forge holds). I understand this version changes how my current holdings may be sold.
• Real money (only if chosen). I chose to trade my funded account and accept that real losses are mine. Results on the practice account don't predict real results.

At setup you also confirm that your Forge Today and My rules pages are private to your own Claude account and not shared.

Exhibit B: Your confirmed Rules

Each Rules version you confirm on your My rules page is saved in your Repository with its plain-English summary, the confirmations you ticked, your typed name, and the date and time in New York time and your own time zone. That saved record is Exhibit B for that version. The most recent version in effect is the one the Agent follows. Zevrant receives only a receipt of it (version number, typed name, and time), never the Rules.
