Terms of Service
By creating a Merc account and connecting an exchange key, you accept the terms below. What Merc agrees to do — and what it will not.
Last updated 30 July 2026
Execution only
Merc is an execution tool. It reads the signal sources you Activate — Discord communities, Copy traders who publish their own MEXC activity, and Apollo, a Merc-owned source — turns each idea into a concrete order, checks it against your rules, and places it on your own MEXC Futures account. Merc does not advise, recommend, or choose trades for you. Templates and rules parse and validate every ticket; Apollo's model only ranks candidate tickets and never sizes or places an order.
Your account, your custody
Funds stay in your MEXC account at all times. Merc never holds, pools, transfers, or withdraws assets. There is no custody of user balances. Merc requires a Futures trade-only API key, whether you create one by hand or mint one through Connect my MEXC, and refuses a key where it can detect withdrawal access; that check depends on what MEXC reports, so creating the key correctly is still on you. MEXC is the only exchange Merc supports.
Your configuration governs
Risk rules are account-wide and yours to set: how much each trade may risk, stop and take-profit behaviour, leverage caps, max open trades, daily win and loss stops, and blocked pairs. Templates only fill the form; Save makes them live. Smart Activation, auto-chase on limit entries, and Smart source replacement are on by default on Pro and Elite (Trial and Starter do not run them); Smart Activation switches off per source, the other two in Risk Rules. Orders that result from your settings and the sources you Activate are your orders.
Sources and Activation
The source catalog is curated by Merc, not an open marketplace. You Activate a channel to let it trade; everything else is read and logged, never executed. Joining a partner's Discord is optional. Your first account-level Activate requires at least 100 USDT of Futures equity, and your plan sets how many sources may be Active at once. Merc may pause or remove a source from the catalog, and Smart Activation may Deactivate one for you after a losing day. Open positions remain yours in every case.
Accounts and sign-in
You can sign in with Google, Discord, or an email and password with an authenticator code. One Merc login connects to one MEXC Futures account; Merc refuses a second login on an already-linked exchange account. Keep your credentials and authenticator private. Requests to move an exchange account between logins are reviewed by operators by hand and are never merged automatically.
Availability and kill switch
Execution depends on Discord, MEXC APIs, payment gateways, and network conditions outside our control. Signals can be skipped, delayed, or refused. Merc may pause execution globally or per source during incidents, including via an operator kill switch. Merc places orders from a published set of server IP addresses that can grow over time; calls from any address you leave off the MEXC allow-list fail, and Merc shows the missing addresses in Settings so you can add them on MEXC and confirm.
Subscription and fees
Eligible accounts get a 5-day live Trial when they first Activate a signal source. Trial requires a linked Discord account at least 30 days old, a valid MEXC key, and no earlier trial on that Discord account or that MEXC account. When the Trial ends, a monthly subscription tier starting at 19 USDT is required to keep trading. Starter, Pro, and Elite set how many sources may be Active and how many new trades may open per day; the current price and limits are shown before checkout. Renewals extend your entitlement from the current end date. Pay in USDT-TRC20 or by QRPH (GCash, Maya, or a Philippine bank app) through KwikPay; checkout converts USDT to PHP at KwikPay's live rate for the USDT-TRC20 deposit and shows the peso amount before you pay. Traders pay the monthly seat only. Merc takes no share of your trading profit. Invite earners share up to 30% of subscription collections and 30% of API broker commission Merc receives from MEXC. Partners and Copy traders share 20% of that API broker commission on attributed futures volume. Your first paid month opens Invite & earn, and that seat stays on even if your trading subscription later lapses; a seat opened by a Trial closes if the Trial ends unpaid. Seats granted by Merc operators can be revoked. No refunds.
Invite & earn, Ascension, and Partners
Invite links attribute the first inviter for about 30 days; once a person locks under you that link is permanent. You never earn on your own seat. Ascension titles are lifetime recognition from confirmed invite volume, not a balance you can withdraw, and race prizes exist only when a campaign funds them. Signal providers and Copy traders see aggregate, source-level numbers only — never member-level identities or results — and Merc pays their share directly. Invite earnings are credited when the payment behind them is collected; Ascension rank volume stays pending until settlement checks confirm it.
Acceptable use
Use Merc only with a MEXC account you own. One person, one login, one exchange account: Merc refuses a second login on a linked MEXC account and does not grant a second trial to the same Discord account or MEXC account. Merc may suspend logins, sources, or payouts that work around these limits.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, Merc is not liable for trading losses, missed or delayed executions, exchange downtime, payment gateway failures, or signal quality from third-party providers or Apollo. Nothing in these terms limits rights that cannot be waived under applicable consumer protection law. Merc may update these terms; the current version is always at merc.bot/terms and continued use means you accept it.
API key safety
Create the key correctly, once.
Five rules that keep an execution key from becoming a liability. Use a trade-only Futures key — never enable withdrawals — and bind it to Merc's IPs during setup.
Never enable withdrawals
Create a Futures trade-only key without withdrawal access, or let Connect my MEXC mint one for you. Merc checks the key against MEXC's API and refuses it when it can detect withdrawal-related access. That check depends on MEXC's responses and is not a substitute for creating a trade-only key yourself.
Bind the key to our IPs
Paste the full IP list shown during setup into MEXC's Link IP Address field. An IP-bound key only works from the allow-listed addresses, and unbound keys expire on MEXC after 90 days. Merc cannot verify the bind from the exchange API. Use Reconnect when Merc needs a new IP pack.
Grant futures trading only
Under Futures, allow viewing account details, viewing orders, and placing orders. No spot, no P2P, no transfers, and no sub-account permissions beyond what execution requires.
One key per tool
Do not reuse an execution key across bots or scripts. Rotate it if you ever paste it somewhere else. Merc never shows the secret again after you save it.
Revoke without hesitation
If anything looks wrong, delete the key on MEXC first. Merc can place nothing new from that moment; resting orders and open positions stay on MEXC under your control.
