Legal
Last updated: April 2026
In these Terms, "QuantTau Research", "we", "us", or "our" refers to the operating entity providing systematic momentum signals through this website. QuantTau Research currently operates as an unregistered business and may, at any time and without prior notice, be formally registered as a sole proprietorship, One Person Company (OPC), Private Limited Company, or any other legal structure under Indian law. The legal name may accordingly change to reflect this registration (for example, "QuantTau Research OPC Pvt. Ltd." or similar). Such future registration shall not invalidate or alter these Terms. The entity operating under any such registered name shall continue to be bound by, and shall continue to enforce, these Terms unless they are explicitly updated and republished on this page.
QuantTau Research provides systematic, algorithmic momentum signals derived from its proprietary quantitative model, currently named Guha™. Signal output consists of stock names listed on Indian equity markets, generated post market close on each trading day and made available through the client portal at quanttau.com. The service is a research and analytics data feed only. It is not investment advice, a recommendation, or a buy/sell signal of any kind.
Access to QuantTau Research is restricted exclusively to:
SEBI-registered Asset Management Companies (AMCs), and SEBI-registered Investment Advisors (IA), Research Analysts (RA), or other registered intermediaries operating as individuals.
Retail investors, unregistered individuals, employees of subscribing AMCs seeking separate individual access, and any entity not holding a valid SEBI registration where required are not eligible. By subscribing, the client warrants that they hold valid SEBI registration as applicable.
Each client receives one set of login credentials.
For SEBI-registered individuals (IA / RA), the credentials may be used on a maximum of three devices. The credentials must not be shared with any other person under any circumstance. The login is strictly personal to the registered individual.
For organisations (AMCs and similar), the credentials may be used on a maximum of ten devices within the organisation. Credentials must not be shared, distributed, or used outside the subscribing organisation.
QuantTau Research uses IP-based and other technical measures to detect credential sharing. Any breach of these limits is grounds for immediate termination of access without refund and without prior warning.
Subscription pricing is determined on a per-client basis and is communicated transparently to the client before contract signing. Pricing and contract terms are at the sole discretion of QuantTau Research and are not publicly published. All pricing details are provided in the client's signed invoice.
Subscriptions are valid for a fixed contract length of one (1) year. A few weeks before the contract ends, QuantTau Research may contact the client to confirm renewal. If the client opts not to renew, login access is disabled at the end of the contract period. If the client opts to renew, a new invoice is generated for the next contract year. Renewal pricing may be the same as, or higher than, the previous year's pricing.
All payments are strictly prepaid. QuantTau Research does not accept credit card payments or any form of credit-based or post-paid arrangement. Payment is made either as a single yearly amount or in pre-agreed monthly instalments, all paid in advance.
Until QuantTau Research is registered as a formal legal entity with a current account, all payments shall be received into the personal savings account of the owner, Prathik Mohan. Client invoices will reflect this clearly. Once QuantTau Research is registered as a formal entity, payments will be received into the corresponding current account, and invoices will be updated accordingly.
All new clients receive a six (6) month free trial with full access to the client portal. No payment is required during this period. An invoice is generated for transparency purposes, reflecting fifty percent of the equivalent annual subscription amount, with an immediate discount coupon of the same value applied. The net payable for the trial period is zero. Toward the end of the trial period, QuantTau Research may contact the client to discuss subscription. If the client opts not to subscribe, login access is disabled at the end of the trial. If the client opts to subscribe, a new one-year subscription contract is created.
All payments to QuantTau Research are final and non-refundable under any circumstance once received, including in the event of early termination by the client, dissatisfaction with the service, market losses, or any other reason. The six-month free trial exists precisely so that prospective clients may evaluate the service and signal quality at no cost before committing to a paid subscription. The "No refunds" policy is fixed and final.
QuantTau Research reserves the right to terminate a client's access immediately, without prior warning and without any refund, in any of the following situations:
Non-payment of any due invoice; breach of these Terms; sharing of login credentials with any unauthorised individual or entity; attempting to redistribute the model output in a manner that exposes credentials or directly republishes the signal feed; exceeding the device limit specified in Section 4; any attempt to reverse-engineer, copy, or replicate the underlying model.
Where access is terminated for breach, no refund of paid fees is owed.
A client may at any time request immediate deletion of their login credentials. Upon receiving such written request, QuantTau Research will disable the credentials immediately. In the absence of such an explicit request, login access remains active until the end of the current contract period, after which it is disabled automatically.
SEBI-registered clients may incorporate QuantTau Research signal output into their own research process and may share the resulting analysis with their own clients as part of their own SEBI-registered service, attributed to themselves. This is permitted because the recipient ultimately receives the analysis as the client's own SEBI-compliant research, not as a QuantTau Research signal feed.
However, sharing of QuantTau Research login credentials, direct republishing of the raw signal feed under the QuantTau Research name without contractual permission, or any redistribution that bypasses the subscription model is strictly prohibited and constitutes grounds for immediate termination per Section 8.
QuantTau Research is not registered with SEBI, and is not required to be, for the following reasons:
First, all client engagements are private and contractual. QuantTau Research does not market or broadcast its services or signals to the general public. Each engagement is a private business-to-business arrangement between QuantTau Research and a SEBI-registered entity, conducted through direct discussion and a signed contract. This is structurally similar to a private discussion between two parties and does not constitute public investment advice under SEBI's framework.
Second, the client portal contains no buy, sell, or hold recommendations. It contains only stock names output by an algorithmic screen. There are no price targets, no narrative recommendations, no portfolio construction, and no personalised advice.
Third, QuantTau Research does not broadcast signals or recommendations to the general public on any channel. YouTube videos that demonstrate the model's output use a uniform thirty (30) day delay on all stock names and price information, ensuring the content is illustrative and historical rather than live actionable advice.
Fourth, QuantTau Research is fully transparent about its operation. Owner identity, contact details, and full subscription terms are disclosed in writing to every client before sign-up. Public proof of model performance is published via the QuantTau Research YouTube channel.
Subscribing clients accept full responsibility for ensuring that their own use of QuantTau Research signals complies with all applicable SEBI regulations and their internal compliance frameworks.
QuantTau Research targets daily signal availability through the client portal by 10:00 PM IST on every Indian equity trading day. This is a target, not a guarantee. If signals are not visible in the portal by 10:30 PM IST, the client may contact support. In the event of a server issue or other technical failure that prevents portal-based delivery, QuantTau Research will deliver the signal output by email to the registered client email address.
QuantTau Research provides systematic algorithmic output only. Signals are not investment advice, not buy/sell recommendations, and not personalised guidance. All trading and investment decisions are made by the client at their own discretion and risk, applying their own judgement, risk frameworks, and execution.
QuantTau Research bears no liability whatsoever for any financial loss, opportunity cost, market loss, or any other damage arising from any use, misuse, or interpretation of the signal output. Positional trading and equity investment require skill, judgement, and full personal responsibility. By subscribing, the client expressly accepts that QuantTau Research has no duty of care, no fiduciary duty, and no financial liability of any kind toward the client. As QuantTau Research is not SEBI-registered, no implied SEBI-equivalent liability or duty applies.
All official communication between QuantTau Research and its clients shall be conducted exclusively through the email address(es) and telephone number(s) provided in the client invoice and in the post-subscription support documentation. Communication received via any other channel will not be treated as official, and QuantTau Research bears no responsibility for any miscommunication arising from use of unofficial channels.
QuantTau Research reserves the right to modify these Terms from time to time, at its sole discretion and without prior notice. Changes take effect immediately on publication of an updated version on this page. Continued use of the service following any modification constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. Clients are encouraged to review this page periodically.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the use of QuantTau Research services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Mumbai, Maharashtra.
