Terms of Use

DogBone Capital is a university investment club. All portfolios, orders, fills, and performance on the platform are simulated. Nothing here is investment, financial, legal, or tax advice, and nothing executes real-money trades or creates a brokerage account.

The platform is for enrolled students, alumni, and faculty of member organizations. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction if that is older, to create an account.

Member access is granted by club administrators. You are responsible for activity under your account, for keeping your sign-in secure, and for the accuracy of the profile information you provide.

One person, one account. Every member holds a single account for the club. If you have signed up more than once, link every email you use to sign in to that one account under Settings, or contact a club administrator. Duplicate accounts found on the platform may be merged into one record; a merge preserves the member’s trading and journal history rather than discarding it. Members who link a duplicate on their own before December 31, 2026 will not be suspended for having created it. After that date, deliberate evasion of the one-account rule, such as maintaining separate accounts to avoid a restriction, may result in suspension. Where a leadership-approved reset of a member’s book is warranted, that reset is logged and the prior record is presented on the platform as an archived season, not erased.

You agree not to:

• access accounts, data, or admin functions that are not yours;
• upload unlawful, infringing, or malicious content, or content you lack rights to;
• probe, scrape, overload, or disrupt the platform or its providers;
• misuse market data or research beyond the club’s educational purpose; or
• create or use more than one account for yourself, except as linked emails on a single account.

The platform includes, or will include, a skill-based forecasting league: members submit probability estimates on questions resolved from the club’s own trading and performance records, and are scored on the accuracy of those estimates over time. Participation is scored in points only. No real money is ever staked, wagered, or paid out on this feature, and no balance in it converts to real-money value. This is a forecasting and calibration exercise, not a market for speculation on outcomes, and it is not offered or described to you as such.

You retain ownership of research and materials you upload and grant the club permission to display and distribute them for its educational and publication purposes. Market data is provided by third parties and subject to their terms.

Upload only material you own or have the right to share. If you own a copyright and believe something on the platform uses it without permission, the notice and counter-notice steps, and the address they go to, are on the copyright page. An upheld notice takes the material down and is recorded against the member who uploaded it; two upheld notices against the same member inside twelve months pause uploading on that account until the older one leaves the window.

YupTrack owns and operates the underlying platform software and the YupTrack name and marks.

DogBone Capital operates this front door under a license from YupTrack. This section states that fact only; it does not itself set out the license’s terms, and it does not transfer any ownership of the platform or its marks to DogBone Capital.

This does not change who owns what you upload to the platform; see “Content and research” above for that.

Market data, news, and alternative datasets on the platform (including quotes, bars, congressional and insider disclosure records, analyst ratings, and macroeconomic series) are supplied by third-party vendors and public sources under license to the club. This data is provided to you solely for your personal, educational use within the club, whether you view it in the app or read it through your own connected AI agents and API tokens.

You may not redistribute, republish, resell, or bulk-export vendor-sourced data, or feed it into any external product, dataset, or service outside the club. Programmatic access is scoped, and every tool invocation is logged. The club may suspend or revoke data access to protect its vendor licenses. Vendor attributions shown with the data must be preserved when you cite it in club research.

Several features send text to a language-model vendor: the tutor, the research assistant and workflows, news screening, the thesis judge and its compliance sidecar, the order copilot, guide answers, and the resident agent fleet where an organization enables it. Which vendors, what each feature is shown, what it is never shown, what you consent to and can take back, and where a person rather than a model decides are all set out at How we use AI, which is generated from the platform’s own configuration.

We run open-weight models through one router, so a prompt may be processed on servers in the United States or elsewhere outside the EEA by whichever provider serves it; which one served a given call is recorded. Model output is a draft, not advice and not a decision. No model places, cancels or sizes an order on this platform. You are responsible for what you submit, publish or trade, whether or not a model helped you write it, and the acceptable-use rules above apply to model-assisted work exactly as they apply to your own.

The platform is provided “as is” without warranties. To the extent permitted by law, the club and its operators are not liable for losses arising from use of this educational tool.

We may update these terms; material changes will be reflected by the date above. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle data, or contact a club administrator with questions.
