Terms of Service

Last updated 2026

1. About Market Surgeons

Market Surgeons operates a proprietary trading evaluation programme. We are not a broker, financial advisor, or regulated investment firm.

2. Simulated Accounts

Evaluation accounts are simulated. Entry fees purchase access to the evaluation only — not a live brokerage account.

3. Payment Verification

Payments are matched automatically against bank notifications using the reference you are given at checkout. If automatic matching fails, our team reviews it manually. Account activation timing is not guaranteed.

4. Fees and Refunds

Entry fees are non-refundable once your account is activated.

5. Two-Phase Evaluation

Breaching any rule at any stage results in account closure with no refund.

6. Prohibited Conduct

Exploiting the evaluation system or misrepresenting your identity results in account closure.

7. Limitation of Liability

Our liability to you is limited to the entry fee paid for the relevant challenge.

8. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa.
