Terms of Service

Last updated: August 19, 2026 · Applies to 1:1 mentoring sessions booked through this site

In short: this is educational mentoring, not financial advice or a guarantee of any outcome. You keep full ownership and confidentiality over anything you share. Sessions are booked and paid individually — no subscriptions, no lock-in.

1. Who this agreement is between

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the mentoring services offered on this website (the "Service"), provided by Robin Doyle, based in Helsinki, Finland ("I", "me", "the mentor"). By booking a session, you ("you", "the client") agree to these Terms.

2. Nature of the service

The Service consists of live, one-on-one video mentoring sessions focused on algorithmic trading fundamentals for beginners — including defining a trading system, structuring it for automation, and testing/validating it.

I do not provide, sell, or recommend any specific trading strategy, signal, or system for you to trade. I help you develop, structure, and validate your own ideas.
I do not manage your capital, place trades on your behalf, or have any access to your brokerage, exchange, or prop firm accounts.
Sessions are educational and process-focused. Nothing said in a session is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any financial instrument.

3. No financial advice, no guaranteed outcomes

I am not a licensed financial advisor, broker, or investment manager, and nothing provided through the Service constitutes financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Trading and algorithmic trading involve substantial risk of loss, including the potential loss of your entire capital.

I make no representation or guarantee, express or implied, regarding the profitability, performance, or suitability of any system, strategy, or idea discussed. Past performance of any strategy, backtest, or example discussed in a session is not indicative of future results. Any decision to develop, test, deploy, or trade a system is made solely at your own discretion and risk.

4. Booking, pricing, and payment

Sessions are 60 minutes, live, one-on-one, delivered by video call.
The current price per session is displayed on the booking page at the time of booking.
Booking and payment are handled through Calendly and Stripe. By booking, you also agree to Calendly's and Stripe's own terms of service for the scheduling and payment functionality they provide.
Payment is due at the time of booking to confirm your session. Sessions are not held or reserved without payment.
There are no subscriptions or session bundles — each session is booked and paid for individually.

5. Rescheduling, cancellations, and refunds

Rescheduling: you may reschedule a session free of charge if you give at least 24 hours' notice before the scheduled start time, using the link in your confirmation email.
Cancellations: cancellations made at least 24 hours before the session are eligible for a full refund. Cancellations made after that point, or no-shows, are non-refundable.
My cancellations: if I need to cancel or am unable to attend a scheduled session, you will be offered a full refund or a free rescheduled session, at your choice.

6. Confidentiality

Any strategy, code, data, backtest results, or other material you share with me in connection with a session ("Client Materials") is treated as confidential. I will not:

Share your Client Materials with any other client or third party;
Use your Client Materials to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI model;
Use your Client Materials for my own trading or commercial purposes without your explicit, separate written permission.

I may use general-purpose AI tools as part of how I prepare for and work through sessions. Where this happens, it is subject to the same confidentiality commitments above — see the Privacy & Confidentiality Policy for details on how this is handled operationally.

You retain full ownership of any strategy, code, or idea you bring to a session or develop during one.

7. Your responsibilities

You confirm that you are at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into this agreement.
You are solely responsible for evaluating and implementing anything discussed in a session, including any trading, coding, or infrastructure decisions.
You will not share session recordings (if any), materials, or the content of sessions publicly without prior agreement.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, I am not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including but not limited to trading losses, lost profits, or data loss, arising out of or in connection with the Service. My total liability for any claim arising from the Service is limited to the amount you paid for the session(s) giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law.

9. Intellectual property

Any general teaching frameworks, explanations, or materials I created before or independently of a session remain my property. You are free to use what you learn in a session for your own purposes, but general session materials are not to be resold or redistributed as a course or product without my written permission.

10. Changes to these Terms

I may update these Terms from time to time. The current version will always be available on this page, with the "last updated" date shown above. Continued use of the Service after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Finland, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Finland, unless mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence provides otherwise.
