Welcome to VantageKey (the "Service"), operated by VantageKey ("VantageKey," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the VantageKey website (vantagekey.app), applications, APIs, content, features, and services (collectively, the "Service").
1. Agreement to Terms
By creating an account, subscribing to a paid plan, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you agree that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of an entity or organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and "you" and "your" will refer to that entity.
2. Description of Service
VantageKey provides a specialized web application featuring an interactive financial events calendar with multiple viewing options (weekly grid and infinite list views), timezone customization, advanced filtering, and comprehensive search capabilities. The Service aggregates information regarding economic data releases, corporate earnings, central bank activities, geopolitical events, and other potentially market-relevant occurrences from various public and proprietary sources.
The Service is offered under a freemium model with the following user roles:
-
Free Tier: Provides access to a basic set of features and event data, subject to limitations as described within the Service.
-
Pro Tier: A paid subscription service providing access to a broader range of event data, premium analysis content (such as "Market Focus" and "Weekly Rundown" reports), advanced filtering, customization options (like timezone selection), longer historical data access, and other features exclusive to subscribers ("Pro Features").
-
AI Features: Certain tiers may include access to AI-powered features utilizing VantageKey's data and analysis knowledge base to provide insights or assist with research ("AI Features"). AI Features are currently in development and may be enabled for Pro subscribers in the future. Use of AI Features is subject to the specific terms and limitations described herein and within the Service.
VantageKey strives to provide accurate and timely information but does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any data or content provided through the Service.
3. User Accounts
-
Registration: To access certain features, including the Free and Pro Tiers, you must register for an account using email/password, magic link, or social authentication (Google, X.com). You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update such information to keep it accurate, current, and complete.
-
Security: You are responsible for safeguarding your account password and any other credentials used to access the Service. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account, whether or not you know about them. You agree not to share your account credentials or allow others to access your account.

4. Subscriptions and Payment (Pro Tier)
-
Fees: Access to the Pro Tier requires payment of subscription fees. The Pro Tier is available as a monthly subscription ($15/month) or an annual subscription ($144/year, equivalent to $12/month). Current fees are listed on the VantageKey website (vantagekey.app) or within the Service. These are early access introductory prices; we reserve the right to change fees upon reasonable notice (as described in Section 13).
-
Billing: We use a third-party payment processor (Stripe) to bill you through a payment account linked to your VantageKey account. Monthly subscribers are billed each month; annual subscribers are billed once per year. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of Stripe in addition to these Terms. By subscribing, you agree to pay all applicable fees.
-
Automatic Renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew for successive periods (monthly or annually, based on the plan selected) unless you cancel your subscription before the end of the current subscription period through your account settings or the Stripe Billing Portal.
-
Cancellation: You may cancel your Pro Tier subscription at any time. Cancellation will be effective at the end of your current billing period. Access to Pro Features will continue until the end of the current billing period.
-
Refunds: Subscription fees are generally non-refundable except as described below or as required by applicable law.
-
7-Day Money-Back Guarantee (First Subscription Only): If you are a first-time Pro subscriber and are not satisfied with the Service, you may request a full refund within 7 calendar days of your initial subscription purchase date. This guarantee applies only once per user account and only to the first Pro subscription payment. To request a refund, email support@vantagekey.app within the 7-day window. Refunds will be processed to the original payment method within 5–10 business days.
-
Subsequent Billing Periods: After the 7-day money-back window has passed, or for any renewal charges, subscription fees are non-refundable. You may cancel your subscription at any time to prevent future charges, and you will retain access through the end of your current billing period.
-
Exceptions: Refunds outside of the 7-day guarantee may be issued at VantageKey's sole discretion on a case-by-case basis. Refunds will not be issued for accounts terminated due to a violation of these Terms.
