1. Agreement
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website located at vixchart.com and any subpages (collectively, the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
2. What the Site is
VIXChart.com is a free, ad-supported educational site about the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) and related volatility products. The Site displays live market charts via embedded third-party widgets and publishes written guides, reference material, and blog posts. The Site is not a broker-dealer, exchange, investment adviser, or financial-services firm.
3. No investment, financial, or trading advice
Nothing on the Site is investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, tax advice, legal advice, or an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security or other financial instrument.
- Content is provided for general information and educational purposes only.
- We do not know your personal financial situation, objectives, risk tolerance, or tax position.
- You should conduct your own research and consult qualified, licensed advisers in your jurisdiction before making any investment or trading decision.
- Trading volatility products, including VIX futures, options, and VIX-linked ETFs/ETNs, involves substantial risk, including the risk of losing more than your initial investment. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
For additional detail, see our Disclaimer.
4. Data accuracy
Market data on the Site is provided by third parties, principally TradingView, through embedded widgets. We make no warranty that any data is accurate, complete, current, or uninterrupted. Quotes may be delayed, incorrect, or missing. You should verify any data with an official exchange source before relying on it to make a decision.

- Use the Site in any way that violates applicable law or regulation.
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Site, to related systems, or to accounts of other users.
- Interfere with or disrupt the Site, its servers, or the networks connected to it.
- Scrape, spider, or otherwise extract content at a scale that degrades service for others, or use automated tools to re-publish the Site's content without our written permission.

6. Intellectual property
All original content on the Site — including text, layout, graphic assets, logos, and compilations — is the property of VIXChart.com or its licensors and is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. You may view and share links to the Site for personal, non-commercial use. You may not reproduce, modify, re-distribute, or create derivative works from our content without prior written permission, except as permitted by applicable law (for example, limited fair-use or fair-dealing quotations with attribution and a link).
Third-party trademarks (including CBOE, VIX, VXX, UVXY, SVXY, VIXY, TradingView, and Google AdSense) are the property of their respective owners and are used only for identification and descriptive purposes.
7. Third-party content and links
The Site includes embedded widgets from TradingView, advertising served by Google AdSense, fonts served by Google Fonts, and analytics from Google Analytics. Your use of these third-party services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party content, products, or services, or for any loss or damage arising from them.
8. Advertising
The Site displays advertising through Google AdSense. Advertisements shown to you may be personalised based on your browsing activity, subject to your consent where required by law. See our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy for details and opt-out controls.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
The Site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty that the Site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, VIXChart.com, its affiliates, and its service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the Site. Our aggregate liability for any direct damages is limited to the amount, if any, you paid us in the previous 12 months to access the Site (which, because the Site is free, will typically be zero).
Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
11. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless VIXChart.com, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers from any claim, liability, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Site.
12. Changes to the Site or to these Terms
We may update, modify, or discontinue the Site or any part of it at any time. We may also change these Terms; updates will be posted on this page with a new "Last reviewed" date. Material changes will be flagged. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
13. Termination
We may restrict or terminate your access to the Site at any time, without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or harms other users or the Site.
14. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of [Jurisdiction], without regard to conflict-of-law rules. You and VIXChart.com agree that the courts of [Jurisdiction] have exclusive jurisdiction over such disputes, except where mandatory consumer-protection rules in your country of residence apply.
15. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
16. Contact
