RegimeLens is operated by Mast. Company details will be published here. Plain-language versions first; RegimeLens is not on sale yet, so the licence, refund and billing terms below describe the planned terms.
Refund Policy
In short (planned): 14 days, no questions asked, if you have activated on fewer than three devices. Nothing is sold yet, so nothing can be charged or refunded today.
- Software licences: full refund within 14 days of purchase provided the licence has fewer than three (3) device activations. Request by e-mail; processed within 5 business days to the original payment method.
- Update contracts: refundable within 14 days of the charge if no release has been installed under the renewed period; otherwise prorated credit towards your next renewal.
- Macro & Sentiment Feed: cancel any time; access continues to the end of the paid period. No prorated refunds for partial months, except in the 14-day window after first subscribing.
- After a refund the licence key is revoked and the software returns to guest mode.
Disclaimer
In short: RegimeLens shows you data. It does not tell you what to buy, how much, or with what leverage — and neither does anything on this site, in the Weekly Brief or in the model portfolios.
- Trading and investing in financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. You can lose more than your initial investment when using leverage; we recommend against leverage you do not fully understand.
- Nothing on this site, in the software, in the Weekly Brief, in the event-study tables or in the model portfolios constitutes investment advice, a recommendation, or an offer to buy or sell any instrument. We are not a licensed investment adviser in any jurisdiction.
- Model portfolios are illustrative, rules-based allocations published for educational purposes. They are not tailored to any person's circumstances. Diversification does not guarantee against loss.
- Historical base rates, correlations and event studies describe the past. They do not predict the future. Relationships between macro data and prices change without notice.
- Data may be delayed, revised, incomplete or wrong. FRED series are revised; GDELT and ACLED coverage varies by region and language; exchange data depends on your connector.
- You are solely responsible for your trading decisions, position sizing and risk management. We encourage conservative sizing, hard drawdown limits and a long-term horizon.
Terms & Conditions
Operator: Mast. Company details will be published here.
In short (planned): you buy a perpetual, personal licence to run RegimeLens on up to three devices. Updates are included for twelve months and optional afterwards. We don't rent you the software and we can't switch it off.
Licence
- Grant. On payment you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual licence to install and use RegimeLens and the RegimeLens core engine on up to three (3) devices you control, for your own trading, research or business analysis.
- Updates. The licence includes all releases published in the twelve months after purchase. The optional update contract (or an active feed subscription) extends this. On lapse, your licence continues for the latest release published during the active period (the "fallback version").
- Restrictions. No redistribution of the software, no circumventing licence checks, no reselling feed data (see Data licensing below), no use to provide a competing hosted service.
- Support. E-mail support for licence holders with an active update contract or feed subscription; community forum for everyone.
- Warranty. Provided "as is". We warrant that the software substantially performs as documented for 14 days from purchase; your remedy is a refund under the refund policy.
- Liability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for trading losses, data-source outages, or indirect damages; our total liability is limited to the amount you paid in the preceding 12 months.
- Termination. We may terminate only for material breach (e.g. licence-key sharing at scale); you keep your fallback version in all other circumstances.
Data licensing & BYOK
Bring your own keys. The software connects to FRED, GDELT, ACLED, the CFTC and your exchange or broker directly from your device using credentials you obtain from those providers. You are bound by their terms (FRED: public domain with attribution; GDELT: open; ACLED: free non-commercial or paid commercial licence; exchange data: your account agreement). Your keys are stored encrypted on your device and are never transmitted to us.
Feed indices. The Macro & Sentiment Feed serves transformed, derived products — tone indices, escalation indices, positioning z-scores, regime reads — computed by us from the sources above. These are our works. Your subscription licenses you to use them within RegimeLens software for your own analysis and trading. You may not redistribute, resell, publish or provide them to third parties, including in aggregated form, without written permission. We do not redistribute raw source records in the feed.
Attribution. Charts exported from RegimeLens carry a source line (e.g. "FRED / St. Louis Fed · ACLED · GDELT · RegimeLens indices") which you should keep when publishing.
Privacy Policy
Controller: Mast. Company details will be published here.
In short: the software runs on your machine. We see your e-mail, your licence and, if you subscribe, how often the feed is pulled. We never see your keys, symbols, recipes or market data.
