Contact: info@bananafarmer.app
Covers: bananafarmer.app (landing/waitlist) and app.bananafarmer.app (web app) (collectively, the “Service”).
Plain-English Snapshot (quick read)
Educational analytics only. We show impersonal market analytics (scores, badges, reasons). It’s not investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice and not a trading platform.
US-only access. Do not use the Service outside the United States.
Data is delayed/limited. Equities may be delayed ~15 minutes or fall back to end-of-day. Crypto refreshes periodically. Accuracy not guaranteed.
Scoring ≠ prediction. “Ripening / Ripe / Overripe” and 0–100 scores are heuristics that can be wrong, late, or incomplete.
Past performance ≠ future results. Markets (especially crypto) are volatile and risky; you can lose money.
Third-party vendors. We rely on external data/providers; inclusion ≠ endorsement; we don’t control their accuracy or uptime.
See our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for the binding details; this page summarizes key disclaimers.
1) Educational-Only; No Advice
The Service provides impersonal, algorithmic analytics regarding US-listed equities and top-100 market-cap crypto assets (e.g., composite scores, “Ripening / Ripe / Overripe” badges, brief reasons).
It does not:
- Provide investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice.
- Recommend any specific security, crypto asset, trade, strategy, or timing for any individual.
- Perform brokerage, order routing, or trade execution.
- Create any fiduciary relationship.
You must do your own research and consult a qualified professional before making financial decisions.
2) Registration & Regulatory Status
Banana Farmer is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, commodity trading advisor (CTA), or money services business. We do not provide investment management or discretionary services.
Nothing in the Service should be construed as a solicitation or offer to buy or sell any security or crypto asset.
3) US-Only Availability
The Service is intended solely for persons located in the United States. We use controls (e.g., IP geofencing, payment checks, terms representations) to enforce this.
You must not access or export the Service from outside the US or from embargoed/sanctioned jurisdictions. Attempting to bypass controls (e.g., VPN/proxy) is a material breach of our Terms.
4) Market & Crypto Risks
Trading equities and crypto assets involves substantial risk, including the risk of loss of principal. Risks include, without limitation:
- Volatility & gap risk (prices can move rapidly or open at large gaps).
- Liquidity risk (wider spreads, slippage, inability to exit).
- Market halts/outages and exchange/API downtime.
- Manipulation/pump-and-dump and social-signal distortion.
- Corporate actions (splits, mergers) or protocol events (forks, upgrades).
- Stablecoin de-pegs, custody/counterparty risk, smart contract failures.
- Regulatory changes affecting availability, taxation, or legality.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. You alone are responsible for your decisions and outcomes.
5) Data Sources, Delays, and Accuracy
Equities: quotes/metrics may be delayed ~15 minutes and can fall back to end-of-day snapshots for parts of the universe.
Crypto: data updates periodically (e.g., hourly) with more frequent refresh on subsets (e.g., 15-minute for top-trending).
Social/public signals: we may ingest public velocity/trend proxies (e.g., Reddit/WSB, X aggregates). Such signals can be manipulated, incomplete, or misleading.
Vendors: Market/crypto data and certain metrics are provided by third-party vendors (e.g., Polygon, CoinGecko) and infrastructure partners (e.g., Cloudflare). Vendor attribution may be displayed in-product.
We and our vendors may experience delays, interruptions, inaccuracies, or format changes. The Service may use caching or sampling, causing displays to differ from broker/exchange feeds. We do not warrant timeliness, sequence, completeness, or correctness of any data or output.
6) Scoring & “Ripeness” Heuristics — Limitations
Our composite scores and badges are heuristics derived from inputs such as price/volume momentum, technical trends (e.g., RSI/EMA/ATR), social-velocity, and for crypto, crowding metrics.
Limitations include:
- Inputs may be noisy, lagging, or contradictory.
- Thresholds/weights (including “Too-Late” penalties) may change without notice.
- We may run A/B tests or variants that alter results per user/session.
- Backtests/hypotheticals (if shown) are subject to survivorship bias, look-ahead bias, and other distortions.
Interpretation is your responsibility. A “Ripe” badge is not a buy signal; “Overripe/Too-Late” is not a sell or short signal.
7) Examples, Hypotheticals & Testimonials
Any examples, case studies, backtests, charts, screenshots, or user quotes are illustrative and not representative of typical results.
No guarantee is made of profitability, accuracy, or error-free operation.
8) No Personalized Suitability or Monitoring
We do not know your personal financial situation, risk tolerance, investment objectives, or constraints.
The Service does not perform suitability analysis or ongoing monitoring for you. You must independently verify whether any asset or strategy is appropriate for your circumstances.
9) Third-Party Services & Links
The Service may reference or integrate third-party tools (e.g., Stripe for payments, Prefinery for waitlist/referrals, Framer for site build, market-data vendors, email providers).
We do not control or guarantee third-party content, uptime, pricing, policies, or security. Inclusion of a third party is not an endorsement. Your use of third-party services is governed by their terms and privacy policies.
10) Intellectual Property & Redistribution
The Service and its content—including scores, badges, datasets, and UI elements—are protected by intellectual property laws.
You are not permitted to scrape, bulk download, cache, reproduce, redistribute, re-license, or resell Service content or vendor data without our written permission (and, where applicable, the vendor’s).
11) Tax, Legal, and Accounting
Nothing in the Service constitutes tax, legal, or accounting advice. Tax consequences and reporting obligations for securities and crypto vary by person and jurisdiction. Consult qualified professionals.
12) Children
The Service is intended for adults (18+). We do not knowingly provide the Service to, or collect information from, persons under 13.
13) Forward-Looking Statements
From time to time we may reference future plans (e.g., roadmap items, features, data coverage). Such statements are aspirational and subject to change; they are not guarantees of future availability or performance.
14) Security & Availability
We implement reasonable safeguards (e.g., HTTPS, WAF, rate-limits), but no system is 100% secure or available.
Outages, throttling, maintenance windows, vendor incidents, and API changes can occur. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time.
15) Conflicts, Affiliates, and Compensation
We may maintain referral or affiliate programs and may receive compensation or discounts from certain partners/vendors. Any such relationships do not influence scoring outputs. We disclose material relationships where required.
16) How to Use This Information
Treat all outputs as one input among many in your research.
Cross-check with primary sources (e.g., your broker’s market data, issuer filings).
Consider fees, taxes, risk tolerance, time horizon, and diversification.
Never trade solely based on a badge/score or social-signal velocity.
17) How to Report Errors or Concerns
If you believe content or data is inaccurate, delayed, or mislabeled, email hello@bananafarmer.app with details (asset, timestamp, screenshot). We may investigate and, at our discretion, correct or annotate the issue.
18) Changes to This Disclaimer
We may update this Disclaimer from time to time. We will post revisions with an updated Effective Date and may provide in-app or email notice for material updates. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance.
19) Relationship to Our Terms & Privacy Policy
This Disclaimer is intended to summarize and highlight risk and usage constraints. It does not replace the Terms of Service or Privacy Policy. In the event of any conflict, the Terms of Service control; privacy matters are governed by the Privacy Policy.
