Wikilix Terms of Use

Wikilix (“Wikilix”, “we”, “us”) runs wikilix.com: a public record of forex and CFD brokers, proprietary trading (“prop”) firms, financial regulators and the licences they issue, with the news, education and tools built on that record (together, the “Service”).

These Terms of Use (the “terms”) apply to everyone who uses the Service: people who read it, people who create an account and people who post comments or other content. By using the Service you agree to them, and if you create an account, you accept them when you do. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

Two other documents sit alongside these terms:

• our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data; and
• our Editorial Policy, which explains how we research, rate, correct and publish. It describes how we work; it does not add obligations for you.

Brokers and other businesses that use our partner panel or other business services may be asked to accept additional terms for those services. Where they do, those terms apply to that service alongside these.

The Service is written for adults. You must be at least 18 years old, and able to enter into a binding agreement where you live, to create an account or to post content.

If you use the Service for a company or other organization — for example as an employee of a broker — you confirm that you are authorized to accept these terms on its behalf, and “you” includes that organization.

You must not use the Service where doing so is against the law that applies to you.

Wikilix builds its records of brokers, prop firms, regulators, and licences using official regulatory registers, company websites and documents, archived records, our own research and measurements, and data from third-party providers. Ratings and risk assessments are based on these findings and the methods explained on the relevant pages and in our Editorial Policy.

We use automated tools, including AI, in parts of our research and publishing process. The level of human review varies depending on the content and the work involved. These tools do not replace our responsibility for what we publish.

Our research continues after publication. We revisit records through regular checks and as new information becomes available, including regulatory developments, changes in company details, and findings that may affect an assessment.

Even so, information can become outdated between reviews. Regulatory records change, companies update their services, and sources can contain errors. Readers should always confirm a broker’s regulatory status directly with the relevant authority. A verified licence or a favorable rating does not guarantee that a company is safe or suitable for every trader.

Readers, brokers, and other interested parties can share relevant information or supporting documents with Wikilix. Our editorial team uses reliable information alongside its own research to identify matters that need further attention. Significant factual errors may also be addressed outside the normal review cycle.

Outside designated sponsored areas (see § 05), company rankings and scores are not determined by commercial relationships.

You can read more about our research methods and editorial standards in our Editorial Policy.

Wikilix is free for readers to use. Our work is supported in part by commercial relationships with companies, including brokers and prop firms covered on the site:

• Sponsored placements. Companies can pay to appear in designated advertising areas. These placements are clearly labelled as advertising, such as “Ads” or “Paid placement”, and may be given priority within those areas.
• Links to other websites. We link to brokers and other companies so readers can check information or visit their websites directly. Some links include tracking parameters that show where a visit came from. These parameters do not necessarily mean Wikilix receives payment. We may also use affiliate or referral links and receive a commission or fee if someone opens an account or makes a purchase through an eligible link.
• Business services. We offer business services, including a partner panel where company representatives can submit official responses to user reviews. These responses are clearly identified as coming from the company and are reviewed before publication.

Editorial independence and updates

Commercial partnerships do not influence our ratings, risk labels, rankings, or editorial conclusions. Advertising and business agreements do not give companies control over our research or guarantee changes to published reviews or reports.

We revisit broker profiles and published content as part of our research. Brokers and readers can share updated information, raise factual concerns, or provide supporting documents for our team to consider.

New information is assessed alongside available evidence and independent sources. The relevance, reliability, and significance of that information help determine our editorial priorities. Not every submission results in a change, and review timelines may vary.

When reliable evidence confirms a material factual error, we take appropriate steps to correct the record, including outside our regular review schedule when necessary.

Our Editorial Policy explains our research standards and how we keep editorial decisions separate from commercial relationships.

You can create an account with an email address and password, or with Google sign-in. An account lets you post comments and replies. Please:

• give accurate details, and a name that does not impersonate anyone or mislead;
• keep your password secure and do not share your account;
• hold only one account, unless we agree otherwise; and
• tell us straight away at support@wikilix.com if you think someone else has used it.

You are responsible for what happens under your account, except where it results from our failure to keep the Service secure.

The name on your account is shown publicly with anything you post. You can ask us to close your account at any time by writing to support@wikilix.com. Closing it does not automatically remove what you have posted; if you want that removed too, say so. Our Privacy Policy explains your rights over your personal data.

With an account you can post comments, reviews, replies and images on pages about brokers, prop firms, news, articles and lessons (“your content”). On prop-firm pages, the star rating and recommendation you give count towards that firm’s Wikilix rating. Comments on broker pages do not change a broker’s Wikilix score.

What you must not post

Your content must be honest and your own. Do not post anything that:

• is not based on your own genuine experience, or pretends to be someone else’s — including a review written, paid for or requested by a company or by its competitor;
• hides a connection to the company you are writing about: if you work for it or a competitor, are paid by it, or have any other business tie to it, say so in the post;
• was paid for or rewarded: do not offer, ask for or accept money, a discount or anything else in return for posting, changing or removing a comment, or for making it positive or negative;
• states as fact something you know or suspect to be untrue, or is defamatory, harassing, hateful, threatening or abusive;
• contains personal data — anyone’s contact details, account numbers or identity documents, including your own;
• infringes someone else’s copyright, trademark or other rights, including images you did not create or have no right to share;
• promotes a product or service, solicits investment, offers trading signals or account management, or includes referral or affiliate links;
• is spam, is posted by automated means, or tries to manipulate a rating — for example several posts about one company from connected accounts; or
• is otherwise unlawful, or encourages anyone to break the law.

If you work for, or act for, a company we list, do not post about it or its competitors as an ordinary user. The company can respond as described below.

How your content is published

We review every comment and reply before publication and apply the same rules to positive and negative feedback. When a user submits a complaint, we ask for supporting information or documents and give them time to respond. If evidence is provided, we make the relevant material available alongside the comment, while protecting personal and confidential information. If no evidence is received, the comment stays published with a clear note explaining that supporting documents were requested but not provided. A lack of evidence alone is not a reason to remove a complaint. However, we may restrict or remove content that breaks our rules or applicable law. Published comments show the user’s account name and posting date.

Only published reviews count towards a prop firm’s rating. We never write comments or reviews ourselves and present them as a user’s.

We may later hide or remove content that breaks these terms or the law. We may make limited edits — to remove personal data, links or abusive language, or to correct its category or language — but we never edit your content to change what it says about a company.

A company you write about can reply to your comment through our partner panel. Its reply is labelled as the company’s official response and is reviewed by us before it appears. Companies cannot edit or remove your content, and must not threaten, pressure or pay anyone to post, change or remove a comment; if one does, tell us. Our team may also reply, as “Wikilix Team”.

You cannot edit or delete a comment yourself once it is posted. To have one changed or removed, write to support@wikilix.com.

The permission you give us

You keep ownership of your content. By posting it, you give Wikilix a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, publish, display, moderate, translate and adapt it for format (for example to fit a phone screen), and to distribute it as part of the Service — including when a page of the Service is shared or quoted — for as long as it is published, and for a reasonable period afterwards in backups and archives. Our service providers may use this licence on our behalf. You confirm that you have the right to give this permission and that your content complies with these terms.

Your content is your responsibility. It is your view, not ours, and publishing it is not an endorsement.

How we moderate

Wikilix moderates user-generated content in accordance with these terms and applicable law.

Our team reviews comments and replies before publication. We also use automated tools to help prevent spam, fraudulent activity, and automated registrations. Decisions about publishing, restricting, editing, or removing content are made by our team.

Depending on the circumstances, we may decline to publish content, hide or remove material, make limited edits as described in § 07, restrict an account, or take other appropriate action. Where required by law, matters may be referred to the relevant authorities.

Reports about potentially unlawful content or violations of our terms are handled through our moderation process. Questions about the accuracy of Wikilix research, ratings, or broker records are handled through our editorial review process.

Reporting content

Anyone who believes content on Wikilix is unlawful or violates these terms can report it through our contact form or by emailing info@wikilix.com.

Please include:

• The URL of the page and the content being reported.
• A clear explanation of the concern.
• Any relevant evidence or supporting sources.
• Your name and contact email, except where anonymous reporting is permitted by law.
• A statement confirming that you believe the report is accurate and complete.

We assess reports based on their nature, seriousness, and any applicable legal requirements. Reports involving unlawful content, personal safety, or other urgent concerns may be given priority.

Where the law requires acknowledgement, notification, specific procedures, or response deadlines, we follow those requirements.

Reports involving intimate images shared without consent or credible threats to someone’s safety are treated as urgent. We review these reports as quickly as reasonably possible and take appropriate action, including removing unlawful content where required. We follow any deadlines and procedures set by applicable law.

Corrections and broker responses

Wikilix continues to research its published broker records, ratings, and reports, revisiting them through periodic reviews and as significant new information becomes available.

Companies, their authorized representatives, readers, and other relevant parties can share updated information, flag potential inaccuracies, or provide supporting documents.

Information received can contribute to our research alongside regulatory records, official documents, and other independent sources.

Our editorial team weighs the available information and determines which matters need further review. Changes to published content are guided by reliable evidence, our research findings, and editorial standards.

Depending on the findings, we may correct factual details, update regulatory information, add context, or reassess a published conclusion.

Material factual errors may also be addressed outside our regular review schedule when necessary.

Disagreeing with a rating, risk assessment, or editorial conclusion does not, by itself, establish an error. We do not remove accurate information simply because a company considers it unfavorable.

Authorized company representatives may submit official responses to user comments through the relevant Wikilix business channels. These responses are identified as company statements and reviewed before publication, as described in § 07.

When we act on your content and how to contest it

If we decline to publish your content, remove or restrict it, or suspend your account, we will explain the decision and the reasons behind it, unless applicable law permits or requires us to withhold that information.

You may ask us to reconsider a moderation decision within six months by replying to our notification or contacting info@wikilix.com.

A member of our team will review the challenged decision and communicate the outcome.

Where applicable, users in the European Union may also have access to certified out-of-court dispute settlement procedures or other legal remedies.

These procedures concern content moderation decisions. They do not guarantee changes to Wikilix’s independent research or editorial assessments.

Repeated misuse

Accounts that repeatedly publish clearly unlawful content or seriously violate these terms may be suspended for a reasonable period, following a warning where appropriate.

We may also limit the handling of repeated reports that are clearly unfounded or submitted in bad faith, subject to applicable law and appropriate safeguards.

Nothing in this section limits any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.

The Service — its text, scores, records, reports, data, design and software, and the Wikilix name and logo — belongs to Wikilix or to those who license it to us, and is protected by copyright, database and trademark law. Other companies’ names and logos belong to them; we use them only to identify the companies we write about.

What you may do

• read, save and print pages for your own, non-commercial use;
• share links to any page; and
• quote reasonable extracts — a score, a verdict, a paragraph — if you name Wikilix as the source, link to the page and do not change the meaning. If you quote a score or verdict about a company, give the date it was shown on Wikilix.

Search engines and AI answer engines are welcome: crawlers that identify themselves and follow our robots.txt may crawl, index and quote the Service.

What needs our written permission

• copying, extracting or re-using a substantial part of our records or data — for example broker scores, licence records or spread data — whether all at once or bit by bit, to publish or sell it, or to build a product or dataset that competes with Wikilix;
• framing the Service, or presenting our content as yours or as if we endorse you;
• using the Wikilix name or logo, other than to refer to us accurately; and
• any other commercial use of our content beyond quoting it as described above.

What you must not do

• get around our technical limits or security, including robots.txt rules, rate limits and reCAPTCHA;
• overload, disrupt, probe or attack the Service, or introduce malicious code;
• create accounts or post content by automated means; or
• use the Service to commit fraud or to misrepresent a company’s record — for example by altering a screenshot of a Wikilix page.

Copyright complaints

If you believe something on Wikilix infringes your copyright, write to info@wikilix.com with: the work concerned; where it appears on Wikilix; your contact details; and a statement that you own the rights or are authorized to act for the owner, and believe in good faith that the use is not authorized. We handle it as a report under § 08.

The Service links to websites we do not control, including those of brokers, prop firms and regulators. A link is not an endorsement, and we are not responsible for another website’s content, availability, security or handling of your data.

If you open an account with, buy from or deposit money with a company you found on Wikilix, your agreement is with that company. We are not a party to it, we never handle your money, and we cannot settle disputes between you and the company or recover funds for you. If you have a complaint about a regulated company, its regulator or financial ombudsman may be able to help.

Screenshots and captures of other websites that we publish show what a page said when we captured it, as a record. The pages themselves belong to their owners.

Wikilix’s public pages are free to read. We may also offer separate business services under their own terms.

Our research draws on regulatory records, company information, market data, and other relevant sources. We take care in reviewing and presenting this information, but broker details, regulations, and market conditions can change over time.

Our ratings, reviews, and risk assessments reflect our findings at the time of review. They are intended to help readers make informed decisions, not to provide personal financial or investment advice. Each reader remains responsible for their own financial decisions.

To the extent permitted by law, Wikilix does not guarantee that every published detail will remain complete or current between reviews, or that our research will meet every user’s individual needs.

We continue to improve our services and may introduce, update, or retire features as the platform develops. Where changes significantly affect account holders, we will provide notice when appropriate or required by law.

Nothing in this section limits any rights or protections that cannot legally be excluded.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that the law does not allow us to exclude or limit.

Subject to that:

• we are not responsible for losses arising from trading or investment decisions you make — including losses on a trading account, or money you cannot withdraw from a broker, prop firm or other company — even where you made the decision using information on Wikilix;
• we are not responsible for the acts, omissions, products or websites of brokers, prop firms, regulators or other third parties, or for content posted by other users;
• if you use Wikilix as a consumer, we are responsible for foreseeable loss caused by our breach of these terms or failure to use reasonable care and skill, as required by applicable law. Our public information service is intended primarily for personal use, while business services may be subject to separate terms. We are not responsible for business-related losses arising from personal use of the Service, except where the law requires otherwise; and
• if you use the Service for business purposes, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill or data, and our total liability to you for all claims is limited to one hundred euros (€100).

If you use the Service in the course of a business — for example for a broker — you will compensate us for any claim a third party brings against us that arises from your content or your breach of these terms.

You can stop using the Service at any time, and ask us to close your account as described in § 06.

We may suspend or close your account, or restrict what you can do (for example, stop publishing your content), if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, if the law or an authority requires it, or if your account has been used for fraud or to harm others. Where we can, we will warn you first. Our response will be proportionate to the problem.

We will tell you the reasons for our decision and how to contest it, as described in § 08, unless the law prevents us. If your account is closed, these terms continue to apply to anything that happened before, and the clauses that by their nature should survive — including the licence you gave us in § 07 and § 09, § 11, § 12 and § 15 — continue to apply.

We may revise these terms when our services, policies, business practices, or legal requirements change.

The latest version will be available on this page, along with its effective date and a record of previous updates.

If a change significantly affects users’ rights or obligations, we will provide notice through appropriate channels, following any requirements set by applicable law.

Some changes may need to take effect sooner, particularly those related to legal requirements, security, or urgent issues. Where permitted, we may introduce these changes without advance notice and inform users as soon as reasonably possible.

Updated terms apply from their stated effective date. They do not change the terms that applied to disputes arising before that date.

If you do not agree with the updated terms, you can stop using Wikilix and request the closure of your account.

Nothing in this section removes rights that users have under applicable law.

If you have a concern about the Service, you can contact us at info@wikilix.com. We will try to resolve the matter directly and fairly.

If a dispute cannot be resolved, it may be brought before a court that has jurisdiction under applicable law. The laws governing the dispute will be determined by the relevant legal rules.

Nothing in these terms takes away any mandatory consumer rights or legal protections that apply to you.

Users in the European Union may also have access to certified out-of-court dispute settlement procedures for certain content moderation decisions, as explained in § 08.

• Whole agreement. These terms, with the Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service, and replace any earlier terms about it.
• Summaries. The “In short” lines, the short version and the headings are there to help you read these terms. They do not change what the clauses say.
• If part of these terms is invalid. If a court or authority decides that any part of these terms is unlawful or unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
• No waiver. If we do not insist straight away that you do something, or delay taking action, we can still do so later.
• Transfer. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to an organization that takes over the Service; this will not reduce your rights. You may not transfer yours without our written consent.
• Nobody else can enforce these terms. These terms are between you and us, and no other person has any right to enforce them.
• Events outside our control. We are not responsible for delay or failure caused by events outside our reasonable control.
• Language. These terms are written in English. Translations may be provided to make them easier to understand. If a translation differs from the English version, the English text will be used to interpret these terms, except where applicable law gives users the right to rely on another language version.

• These terms, reports about content, correction requests and complaints about our decisions: info@wikilix.com, or our contact form.
• Help with your account: support@wikilix.com.
• Personal data: see our Privacy Policy for how to reach us about your data.

Authorities — including those of EU Member States, the European Commission and the European Board for Digital Services — and users of the Service can contact us at info@wikilix.com, our single point of contact under the EU Digital Services Act. You can write to us in English.
