Version 2.0Last Updated: March 2026

Important Notice — Please Read Carefully

By accessing and using Zignol AI (the “Platform”), you acknowledge and agree to the following terms and conditions. If you do not agree with these terms, you must not access or use the Platform. This disclaimer is provided to ensure compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka (SEC) regulations, particularly Part V concerning Market Misconduct.

1. Platform Purpose and Nature

Zignol AI is an informational platform designed to democratise knowledge and provide equitable access to publicly available financial information about companies listed on the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE). We aggregate publicly available data, analyse it using artificial intelligence, and present the results in an accessible, easy-to-understand summary format.

Zignol AI is NOT:

A licensed securities dealer, broker, investment adviser, investment bank, or financial services provider. We do not provide any financial services, investment advice, recommendations, or suggestions to buy, sell, or hold any securities.

All information presented on this Platform is provided solely for general informational and educational purposes. The Platform and its content should not be considered as legal, tax, accounting, financial, or investment advice of any kind.

The Platform's objective is to assist users in conducting research and analysis by aggregating and presenting publicly available data using AI in an accessible format, thereby helping to prevent users from falling victim to market manipulation, fraudulent schemes, or misleading recommendations from unverified sources. The Platform is designed to help users who may be unable to review and analyse all available reports and charts within a limited time frame to obtain an overall summary of a company's financial standing and market position.

2. Data Sources and Information

All financial data, company information, financial statements, announcements, ratios, and other metrics displayed on Zignol AI are sourced exclusively from publicly available information, including but not limited to:

  • Official filings with the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE)
  • Company annual reports and quarterly financial statements
  • Public announcements and corporate disclosures
  • Published financial documents available to all investors
  • Market data available through legitimate public channels, including price charts and trend patterns

Zignol AI does not possess, utilise, or provide any non-public, insider, or privileged information. We strictly comply with SEC Sri Lanka regulations prohibiting the use of information that is not generally available.

Zignol AI does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of data obtained from third-party sources. While we take reasonable steps to verify the data we present, upstream data sources (including the CSE, public filings, and corporate disclosures) may contain errors, omissions, or delays for which Zignol AI bears no responsibility.

3. AI-Generated Content

3.1 Financial Summaries

Financial summaries and analyses presented on Zignol AI are 100% generated by artificial intelligence (AI) models based exclusively on publicly available company data and financial statements.

3.2 Technical Analysis

Technical analysis presented on Zignol AI is 100% generated by artificial intelligence (AI) models using publicly available stock price data and chart patterns.

3.3 Scenario Analysis and Time Frames

Investment scenario analyses and time frames presented on the Platform are 100% AI-generated using all available historical data. These represent hypothetical scenario analyses based on historical data and statistical patterns. They do not constitute predictions, forecasts, or guarantees of future price movements or market outcomes.

3.4 Market Signals

Market Signals represent aggregated, publicly available trading activity data indicating companies with notable bullish, bearish, or neutral trading patterns recorded on a given day. This information is provided solely to enable users to identify such companies quickly and does not constitute any stock buying, selling, or holding suggestion.

Important:

All AI-generated content described above is NOT an investment recommendation. It does not constitute advice to buy, sell, or hold any security. All AI outputs are analytical summaries and hypothetical scenario analyses intended to assist in your independent research only.

While we strive for accuracy, AI-generated content may contain errors, omissions, or interpretations that differ from human analysis. Users must verify all information independently before making any investment decisions.

4. User Responsibility and Independent Decision-Making

You are solely responsible for your investment decisions. Zignol AI provides tools and information to support your research, but the ultimate decision to invest, divest, or hold any security rests entirely with you.

It is your sole responsibility to determine whether any investment, security, or strategy is suitable for you based on your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and personal financial situation. You must independently evaluate the merits and risks of using the information provided on this Platform.

Users are expected to:

  • Conduct their own due diligence and independent research
  • Verify all information from original, authoritative sources
  • Consult with licensed financial advisors before making investment decisions
  • Evaluate investment suitability based on personal objectives and risk tolerance
  • Understand the risks associated with securities trading and investments
  • Make informed decisions based on comprehensive analysis
  • Monitor their portfolio and market trends to make their own buy, hold, or sell decisions

5. Portfolio Features

The Platform allows users to import portfolio data from third-party platforms (including ATrad) and view analytical summaries of their holdings. Zignol AI:

  • Does not execute, facilitate, or intermediate any securities trades
  • Does not guarantee the accuracy of imported portfolio data from third-party platforms
  • Is not responsible for discrepancies between data displayed on the Platform and actual portfolio holdings or values
  • Provides portfolio analytics (including AI health checks, status indicators, and sector exposure analysis) solely for informational purposes

6. Compliance with SEC Sri Lanka Regulations

Zignol AI is committed to full compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka, particularly Part V: Market Misconduct provisions, including but not limited to:

12. Subscription, Cancellation, and Refund Policy

12.1 Subscription Plans

Zignol AI offers subscription-based access to its premium features. Details of available plans, pricing, and included features are displayed on the Platform at the time of purchase. All prices are quoted in Sri Lankan Rupees (LKR) unless otherwise stated.

12.2 Cooling-Off Period for New Subscribers

New subscribers may request a full refund within seven (7) calendar days of their initial subscription purchase, provided that the user has not substantially used the Platform's premium features during that period.

This cooling-off period applies only to a user's first subscription purchase. It does not apply to subscription renewals, plan upgrades or downgrades, or any subsequent subscription after a prior cancellation.

12.3 No Refunds After Cooling-Off Period

After the seven (7) day cooling-off period, or upon substantial use of premium features (whichever occurs first), all subscription payments are non-refundable. As Zignol AI provides access to a digital service with AI-generated analysis that is consumed upon access, refunds cannot be issued for partially used subscription periods.

12.4 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Upon cancellation:

  • Your subscription will remain active until the end of the current billing period
  • You will not be charged for any subsequent billing periods
  • No partial or pro-rated refunds will be issued for the remaining days in the current billing period
  • Your account will revert to free-tier access (if available) at the end of the billing period

12.5 How to Request a Refund

Eligible refund requests during the cooling-off period must be submitted via email to zignol@3iteam.com with your registered email address and reason for the request. Refund requests will be processed within fourteen (14) business days. Approved refunds will be credited to the original payment method.

12.6 Exceptions

Zignol AI may, at its sole discretion, issue refunds or credits outside of the above policy in cases of:

  • Documented technical failures on the Platform that prevented access to paid features for an extended period
  • Duplicate or erroneous charges resulting from payment processing errors

Such exceptions are handled on a case-by-case basis and do not create any obligation to extend similar treatment in future cases.

13. Modifications to Terms

Zignol AI reserves the right to modify, update, or replace these Terms of Use and Legal Disclaimer at any time. Material changes will be communicated through the Platform (e.g., via a banner notification or email to registered users). Your continued use of the Platform after such modifications constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. It is your responsibility to review these terms periodically.

14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka. Any disputes arising from or in connection with these terms or your use of the Platform shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Sri Lanka.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its original intent.

16. Investment Risk Warning

Investment in securities carries inherent risks. Past performance is not indicative of future results. You may lose some or all of your invested capital. Always conduct thorough research, understand the risks, and invest only what you can afford to lose. Zignol AI is a tool to assist your research — it is not a substitute for professional advice or your own independent judgment.
