Security of personal data
We use technical and organizational safeguards to protect your personal data and require third parties with whom we work to do the same.
We use Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption technology in order to protect certain information that you submit to us. This technology protects you from having your information intercepted by anyone while it is being transmitted to SpreadFighter or payment processor. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the "lock" icon in the browser window is displayed, confirming that a secure and encrypted connection has been established with the Website. We work hard to ensure that our Service is secure and that we meet industry standards. We also use other safeguards, such as firewalls, authentication systems (i.e. passwords, and personal identification numbers), and access control mechanisms to control unauthorized access to systems and data. If you have chosen to create an account, you are responsible for doing everything you reasonably can to keep your access details secret. You must not share these details with anyone else.
We also do our best to protect user information offline. All of our users' personal information is restricted to our offices. Only employees who need to see the information to perform their jobs are allowed to access it.
The servers that store personal data are located in a secure environment in a locked facility.
We are constantly improving the ways we secure, store, and process the data we collect, including the addition of physical security measures that help us counter unauthorized access to our systems. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We do not knowingly contact or collect personal information from children below the age of 18 years, or sensitive personal data ("racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, the processing of genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation," etc.).

Upon expiration of the applicable retention period, we will securely destroy your personal data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Your email address, however, will not be visible (unless you choose to make it visible).
Public content

By using a publish features, you grant us an irrevocable, perpetual, and royalty-free license to publish and disclose the content, as well as the username of the author, which makes you identifiable.
You can also publish your content as "private". This means that the content will not be displayed in your profile or your lists of ideas, scripts, streams, etc., nor will it be indexed by search engines. However, users who have a direct link to your content will be able to view it. Note that you will control over who/which users have access to a link.
When you comment on any content, we also publish certain information about your comment: including date, time and application (such as "SpreadFighter for iOS" if you commented on it from one of our applications).

Security of personal data
We use technical and organizational safeguards to protect your personal data and require third parties with whom we work to do the same.
We use Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption technology in order to protect certain information that you submit to us. This technology protects you from having your information intercepted by anyone while it is being transmitted to SpreadFighter or payment processor. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the "lock" icon in the browser window is displayed, confirming that a secure and encrypted connection has been established with the Website. We work hard to ensure that our Service is secure and that we meet industry standards. We also use other safeguards, such as firewalls, authentication systems (i.e. passwords, and personal identification numbers), and access control mechanisms to control unauthorized access to systems and data. If you have chosen to create an account, you are responsible for doing everything you reasonably can to keep your access details secret. You must not share these details with anyone else.
We also do our best to protect user information offline. All of our users' personal information is restricted to our offices. Only employees who need to see the information to perform their jobs are allowed to access it.
The servers that store personal data are located in a secure environment in a locked facility.
We are constantly improving the ways we secure, store, and process the data we collect, including the addition of physical security measures that help us counter unauthorized access to our systems. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We do not knowingly contact or collect personal information from children below the age of 18 years, or sensitive personal data ("racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, the processing of genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation," etc.).

This data can be stored even after an account is deleted.
Upon expiration of the applicable retention period, we will securely destroy your personal data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. In some circumstances we may anonymize your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you. In this case, such data is no longer considered personal.
If you consent to receive marketing communications, we will keep your data until you unsubscribe, which is possible via the ‘unsubscribe’ button at the end of our marketing emails. Additional methods to unsubscribe may be added in the future.

Lodge a complaint with the data protection authority
If you have concerns about our privacy practices, including the way we handle or have your personal data, you can report it to any competent data protection authority of an European Union member state that is authorised to hear such concerns (you may find European Union Data Protection Authorities’ contact information here) or to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues.

4. Attribution
SpreadFighter grants all users of spreadfighter.com, and all other available versions of the site, to use snapshots of SpreadFighter charts in analysis, press releases, books, articles, blog posts and other publications. In addition, SpreadFighter grants the use of all previously mentioned materials in education sessions, the display of SpreadFighter charts during video broadcasts, which includes overviews, news, analytics and otherwise use or promote SpreadFighter charts or any products from the SpreadFighter website on the condition that SpreadFighter attribution is clearly visible at all times when such charts and products are used.
Attribution must include a reference to SpreadFighter, including, but not limited to, those described herein.
Use of SpreadFighter charts during video or other promotions where SpreadFighter attribution is not visible, must include a description of the product used therein. For instance: "Charting platform used for this analysis is provided by SpreadFighter," or simply "Charts by SpreadFighter." Font size should not be less than 10 PT = 13PX = 3.4MM.
You can use the "Snapshot" button in the top toolbar of the chart to instantly create a picture file of your current chart. SpreadFighter will automatically take a snapshot with all required attributions and provide a link where you can view your chart, download it or share it. The use of any SpreadFighter products outside the SpreadFighter website, without a proper attribution of SpreadFighter, is not allowed. This extends to any tools (such as widgets) obtained on the SpreadFighter website and utilized on the outside resources, where attribution should remain as was originally designed and intended. Users who disobey this attribution rule herein may be banned permanently, and other legal actions may be taken to ensure compliance. This includes, but is not limited to, cease-and-desist warnings, court orders, injunctions, fines, damages relief, and so on.
5. Third party sites and advertisers
SpreadFighter may include links to third party websites. Some of these sites may contain materials that are objectionable, unlawful, or inaccurate. You agree that SpreadFighter shall not be held liable for any trading activities or other activities that occur on any website you access through links on SpreadFighter. We provide these links as a convenience, and do not endorse the content or services offered by these other sites. Any dealings that you have with advertisers found on SpreadFighter are between you and the advertiser and you acknowledge and agree that we are not liable for any loss or claim you may have against an advertiser.
Unauthorized soliciting on SpreadFighter is strictly prohibited and may result in penalties, including, but not limited to, temporary or permanent bans of the account found in violation, and any appropriate and available legal action for monetary and other damages.
6. Disclaimer regarding content
SpreadFighter cannot and does not represent or guarantee that any of the information available through our services or on SpreadFighter is accurate, reliable, current, complete or appropriate for your needs. Various information available through our services or on SpreadFighter may be specially obtained by SpreadFighter from professional businesses or organizations, such as exchanges, news providers, market data providers and other content providers (e.g. Cboe One and possibly other established financial exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, New York Mercantile Exchange and Dow Jones), who are believed to be sources of reliable information (collectively, the "Data Providers"). Nevertheless, due to various factors — including the inherent possibility of human and mechanical error — the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, results obtained from use, and correct sequencing of information available through our services and website are not and cannot be guaranteed by SpreadFighter. We make no warranty and assume no obligation or liability for scripts, indicators, ideas and other content of third parties. Your use of any third-party scripts, indicators, ideas and other content is at your sole risk.
7. Disclaimer regarding investment decisions and trading
Decisions to buy, sell, hold or trade in securities, commodities and other investments involve risk and are best made based on the advice of qualified financial professionals. Any trading in securities or other investments involves a risk of substantial losses. The practice of "Day Trading" involves particularly high risks and can cause you to lose substantial sums of money. Before undertaking any trading program, you should consult a qualified financial professional. Please consider carefully whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition and ability to bear financial risks. Under no circumstances shall we be liable for any loss or damage you or anyone else incurs as a result of any trading or investment activity that you or anyone else engages in based on any information or material you receive through SpreadFighter or our services.
8. Disclaimer regarding hypothetical performance results
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are mentioned below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.
One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of the trading losses are material points, which can also adversely affect trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the market in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
9. Registered users
Certain services, such as saving charts, publishing them or the ability to comment on published charts, are available only to registered users of the SpreadFighter website and require you to sign in with a username and password to use them. If you register as a user (a "Subscriber") of any of the features of SpreadFighter, during the registration process you may be prompted to click "Register Now", "Submit" or a similar button; your clicking on such button will further confirm your agreement to be legally bound by these Terms of Use.
In consideration of your use of the SpreadFighter website, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving SpreadFighter services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. You also agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the SpreadFighter's registration form (the "Registration Data") and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or SpreadFighter has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, SpreadFighter has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the SpreadFighter services (or any portion thereof).
You represent and warrant that you have all intellectual property rights, including all necessary patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights, in and to your content. If you use third-party materials, you represent and warrant that you have the right to distribute third-party material in the content. You agree that you will not submit material that is copyrighted, protected by trade secret or otherwise subject to third party proprietary rights, including patent, privacy and publicity rights, unless you are the owner of such rights or have permission from their rightful owner to submit the material.
We may remove your content without notice if we reasonably believe that you're in violation of our Terms of Use.
10. Non-Professional subscriber status
As a vendor of official real-time market data from exchanges (e.g. Nasdaq) for end users, we are required to identify the status of any Subscriber. If you are ordering a subscription for market data on SpreadFighter as the 'Non-Professional', you confirm the following:
You use market data solely for personal use, not for your business or any other entity.
You are not registered or qualified with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
You are not registered or qualified with any securities agency, any securities exchange, association or regulatory body in any country.
You do not perform any functions that are similar to those that require an individual to register or qualify with the SEC, the CFTC, any other securities agency, any securities exchange, or association or regulatory body, or any commodities or futures contract market, or association or regulatory body.
You are not engaged as an investment advisor (as that term is defined in Section 202 (a) (11) of the Investment Advisor's Act of 1940) or asset manager and you are not engaged to provide investment advice to any individual or entity.
You are not subscribing to the service in your capacity as a principal, officer, partner, employee, or agent of any business or on behalf of any other individual.
You use your own capital, not provided by any other individual or entity in the conduct of your trading.
You do not conduct trading for the benefit of a corporation, partnership, or other entity.
You have not entered into any agreement to share the profit of your trading activities or receive compensation for your trading activities.
You are not receiving office space, and equipment or other benefits in exchange for your trading or work as a financial consultant to any person, firm or business entity.
Should we, or our exchange partners, determine — based on the information provided and / or companies websites, email address and domain, LinkedIn, regulatory or company registries, payment method — that you actually meet the criteria for a 'Professional' status at any point during or after subscribing to SpreadFighter or to market data from exchanges, you will be liable for the difference between the 'Non-Professional' and 'Professional' subscription rates for both SpreadFighter subscription and relevant market data. This applies retroactively from the date you initiated your subscription. Furthermore, we reserve the right to automatically invoice you for this difference and charge the associated amount to your on-file payment method.
11. Derived Data
Our proprietary derivation consumes raw market data and executes a 2-factor derivation process to produce the displayed price, later consumed by the price engine. Derived market data is sourced and supplied from various sources and can therefore be blended.
The derivation process involves changing the raw price by a factor determined by the volume of trading on the underlying market, a randomized variable and a maximum offset amount. The derived data price is only ever displayed to our non-professional clients, the derived data price then being the proprietary value of an organization.
At no point is raw data accessible by any client, nor can said data be reverse-engineered in any manner. All markets are passed through the same derivation engine.
12. Access and security
You accept responsibility for the confidentiality and use of any username and email address that use to register for your access to and use of our services. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify SpreadFighter of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. SpreadFighter cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply.
SpreadFighter considers private information on the site (source code of protected or invite-only scripts, etc.) to be confidential to you. SpreadFighter protects such private information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner that it protects personal data (please refer to our Privacy Policy for more information).
13. Payment and cancellation of service
By ordering any subscription on www.spreadfighter.com (including a free trial period) you confirm that you have read and accepted our Terms of Use and you authorize SpreadFighter to automatically charge your bank card or PayPal account according to the billing period manually selected by you.
Each user can try selected paid plans for 30 days free of charge. If the trial is not cancelled before its expiration date, it automatically converts to a monthly or annual paid plan depending on user’s choice. There are no refunds for monthly plans, even if the subscription is canceled on the same day as the autoconversion payment has gone through. Refunds are available only after an automatic deduction for annual payments (i.e. after trial and after renewal) within 14 calendar days after the payment was made. Please note that users who filed a chargeback/dispute request or a claim are not eligible for a refund. Essential, Plus and Premium subscriptions automatically include market data that is available without additional per-user fees only. You can see which markets are available for free and which need to be purchased separately on the SpreadFighter GoPro page. A cancelled trial and associated services will stop immediately after cancellation, except for any data packages that were purchased.
The service is billed in advance on a monthly, annual, or 2-year basis. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of service, or refunds for months unused with an open user account. If auto renewal fails for an annual plan you will automatically be switched to a monthly plan.
All billing is recurring, which means you will continue to get billed until you cancel your subscription. You are solely responsible for properly canceling your SpreadFighter subscription. An email request or support ticket asking for your subscription to be cancelled is not considered cancellation. You may cancel your subscription at any time by visiting the billing section of your Profile Settings page.
If you cancel the service before the end of your current paid up period, your subscription will remain active until the next due date. After the due date, if no payment received, your subscription will be stopped.
We do not offer refunds for initial payments. If you order the service for the first time, please make sure that the order is correct before the payment is made.
We do not offer refunds for recurring monthly payments. If you have been billed for automatic monthly renewal of the Service, you can cancel the subscription to avoid billing for next months.
We do not offer refunds for upgrades to a more expensive plan or a longer billing cycle. Remaining days are converted into an equivalent value of days on the new subscription.
We offer refunds for recurring annual and 2-year payments on demand. If you have been billed for automatic annual and 2-year renewal of the service, you have 14 calendar days (after the payment was made) to contact our support team. If you don't do this, SpreadFighter assumes that renewal of the service is expected and the payment will not be refunded.
Refunds are available only after an automatic deduction for annual payments (i.e. after trial and after renewal) within 14 calendar days after the payment was made.
Our moderators are official SpreadFighter representatives, with the authority to warn or ban users (including those with a paid subscription) when they do not abide by the House Rules. We do not offer refunds in case you are banned from publishing content and interacting with others because your paid subscription and all of its data and/or features are still available during any such ban.
SpreadFighter, LLC may use local subsidiaries or other entities to collect payments in certain geographies. However, all payments will be processed and managed by SpreadFighter, LLC, and the service will be provided by SpreadFighter, LLC, regardless of which entity collects the payment.
14. Apple App Store subscriptions
Payments will be charged to the user's Apple ID Account at confirmation of purchase in compliance with Apple's privacy policy.

SpreadFighter offers a trial period. It is only possible to use the trial period once. Subscription payment begins after the end of your free trial period.
All subscription types are renewed automatically. You can cancel the renewal option in the App Store within at least 24 hours before the end of your free trial period or the current payment date.

If a purchase is made from our Android app, the refund is only possible in compliance with Google Play policy.

Try to get referees by spamming, bulk emailing, or sending large numbers of unsolicited emails. The only people you should be emailing are people you know personally;
Use, display, or manipulate SpreadFighter intellectual property (such as SpreadFighter logos, trademarks, and copyright-protected works) in any way, except as to identify yourself as a SpreadFighter user or a SpreadFighter referrer;
Create or register any (i) businesses, (ii) URLs, (iii) domain names, (iv) software application names or titles, or (v) social media handles or profiles that include the word "SpreadFighter" or any of SpreadFighter's other trademarks or any words that are confusingly similar to SpreadFighter trademarks.
Purchase keywords (including, but not limited to Google AdWords) that contain any of SpreadFighter trademarks;
Use automated systems or bots through any channel to distribute, post, or otherwise share your referral link;
Use scripts or programmed or automatic dialers to send invites or otherwise share your referral link;
Make misleading claims about SpreadFighter, use offensive/abusive content, create fake websites/webpages/social media profiles/apps, misrepresent your connection to SpreadFighter, or otherwise make any false or misleading statements to get a referee to use your link; or
Use your referral link in any manner that violates the law or SpreadFighter House Rules.
How do I earn SpreadFighter Coins?
Referrers get rewarded with SpreadFighter coins for inviting new users that purchase subscriptions. As long as you and your referee follow these Rules, as well as SpreadFighter's posted policies, you should receive your SpreadFighter coins after your referee uses your link to sign up with SpreadFighter and makes their first payment within three months of creating their account. As a result, referrers receive SpreadFighter coins in the amount of $15 for their purchase of any subscription. To receive SpreadFighter coins for referring someone who orders a paid plan on SpreadFighter, your referee must be a new SpreadFighter user. Note that the bonus can be given only for purchases made on the website, not in the apps.
The requirements for receiving, and the amounts of SpreadFighter Coins are subject to change at SpreadFighter’s sole discretion. Referral rewards in the form of SpreadFighter coins are not transferable, have no cash value, and may expire. SpreadFighter may cancel a reward at any time at its sole discretion.
In case your referee files a chargeback or claims a refund for their paid subscription, the reward that you and your referee both received from SpreadFighter will be canceled.
How do I spend SpreadFighter Coins?
You are able to spend SpreadFighter Coins by purchasing a new subscription or extending an existing one. Please note that SpreadFighter coins can’t be used to pay for exchange market data.
Termination and changes
SpreadFighter reserves the right to change, end, or pause, in whole or in part, any referral program, as well as any referrer’s or referee's ability to participate in any referral program or receive SpreadFighter Coins at any time for any reason, including suspected fraud (including by either the referrer and/or referee), abuse, or any violation of these Rules.
SpreadFighter may update these Rules at any time.

4. Attribution
SpreadFighter grants all users of spreadfighter.com, and all other available versions of the site, to use snapshots of SpreadFighter charts in analysis, press releases, books, articles, blog posts and other publications. In addition, SpreadFighter grants the use of all previously mentioned materials in education sessions, the display of SpreadFighter charts during video broadcasts, which includes overviews, news, analytics and otherwise use or promote SpreadFighter charts or any products from the SpreadFighter website on the condition that SpreadFighter attribution is clearly visible at all times when such charts and products are used.
Attribution must include a reference to SpreadFighter, including, but not limited to, those described herein.
Use of SpreadFighter charts during video or other promotions where SpreadFighter attribution is not visible, must include a description of the product used therein. For instance: "Charting platform used for this analysis is provided by SpreadFighter," or simply "Charts by SpreadFighter." Font size should not be less than 10 PT = 13PX = 3.4MM.
You can use the "Snapshot" button in the top toolbar of the chart to instantly create a picture file of your current chart. SpreadFighter will automatically take a snapshot with all required attributions and provide a link where you can view your chart, download it or share it. The use of any SpreadFighter products outside the SpreadFighter website, without a proper attribution of SpreadFighter, is not allowed. This extends to any tools (such as widgets) obtained on the SpreadFighter website and utilized on the outside resources, where attribution should remain as was originally designed and intended. Users who disobey this attribution rule herein may be banned permanently, and other legal actions may be taken to ensure compliance. This includes, but is not limited to, cease-and-desist warnings, court orders, injunctions, fines, damages relief, and so on.
5. Third party sites and advertisers
SpreadFighter may include links to third party websites. Some of these sites may contain materials that are objectionable, unlawful, or inaccurate. You agree that SpreadFighter shall not be held liable for any trading activities or other activities that occur on any website you access through links on SpreadFighter. We provide these links as a convenience, and do not endorse the content or services offered by these other sites. Any dealings that you have with advertisers found on SpreadFighter are between you and the advertiser and you acknowledge and agree that we are not liable for any loss or claim you may have against an advertiser.
Unauthorized soliciting on SpreadFighter is strictly prohibited and may result in penalties, including, but not limited to, temporary or permanent bans of the account found in violation, and any appropriate and available legal action for monetary and other damages.
6. Disclaimer regarding content
SpreadFighter cannot and does not represent or guarantee that any of the information available through our services or on SpreadFighter is accurate, reliable, current, complete or appropriate for your needs. Various information available through our services or on SpreadFighter may be specially obtained by SpreadFighter from professional businesses or organizations, such as exchanges, news providers, market data providers and other content providers (e.g. Cboe One and possibly other established financial exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, New York Mercantile Exchange and Dow Jones), who are believed to be sources of reliable information (collectively, the "Data Providers"). Nevertheless, due to various factors — including the inherent possibility of human and mechanical error — the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, results obtained from use, and correct sequencing of information available through our services and website are not and cannot be guaranteed by SpreadFighter. We make no warranty and assume no obligation or liability for scripts, indicators, ideas and other content of third parties. Your use of any third-party scripts, indicators, ideas and other content is at your sole risk.
7. Disclaimer regarding investment decisions and trading
Decisions to buy, sell, hold or trade in securities, commodities and other investments involve risk and are best made based on the advice of qualified financial professionals. Any trading in securities or other investments involves a risk of substantial losses. The practice of "Day Trading" involves particularly high risks and can cause you to lose substantial sums of money. Before undertaking any trading program, you should consult a qualified financial professional. Please consider carefully whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition and ability to bear financial risks. Under no circumstances shall we be liable for any loss or damage you or anyone else incurs as a result of any trading or investment activity that you or anyone else engages in based on any information or material you receive through SpreadFighter or our services.
8. Disclaimer regarding hypothetical performance results
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are mentioned below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.
One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of the trading losses are material points, which can also adversely affect trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the market in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
9. Registered users
Certain services, such as saving charts, publishing them or the ability to comment on published charts, are available only to registered users of the SpreadFighter website and require you to sign in with a username and password to use them. If you register as a user (a "Subscriber") of any of the features of SpreadFighter, during the registration process you may be prompted to click "Register Now", "Submit" or a similar button; your clicking on such button will further confirm your agreement to be legally bound by these Terms of Use.
In consideration of your use of the SpreadFighter website, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving SpreadFighter services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. You also agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the SpreadFighter's registration form (the "Registration Data") and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or SpreadFighter has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, SpreadFighter has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the SpreadFighter services (or any portion thereof).
You represent and warrant that you have all intellectual property rights, including all necessary patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights, in and to your content. If you use third-party materials, you represent and warrant that you have the right to distribute third-party material in the content. You agree that you will not submit material that is copyrighted, protected by trade secret or otherwise subject to third party proprietary rights, including patent, privacy and publicity rights, unless you are the owner of such rights or have permission from their rightful owner to submit the material.
We may remove your content without notice if we reasonably believe that you're in violation of our Terms of Use.
10. Non-Professional subscriber status
As a vendor of official real-time market data from exchanges (e.g. Nasdaq) for end users, we are required to identify the status of any Subscriber. If you are ordering a subscription for market data on SpreadFighter as the 'Non-Professional', you confirm the following:
You use market data solely for personal use, not for your business or any other entity.
You are not registered or qualified with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
You are not registered or qualified with any securities agency, any securities exchange, association or regulatory body in any country.
You do not perform any functions that are similar to those that require an individual to register or qualify with the SEC, the CFTC, any other securities agency, any securities exchange, or association or regulatory body, or any commodities or futures contract market, or association or regulatory body.
You are not engaged as an investment advisor (as that term is defined in Section 202 (a) (11) of the Investment Advisor's Act of 1940) or asset manager and you are not engaged to provide investment advice to any individual or entity.
You are not subscribing to the service in your capacity as a principal, officer, partner, employee, or agent of any business or on behalf of any other individual.
You use your own capital, not provided by any other individual or entity in the conduct of your trading.
You do not conduct trading for the benefit of a corporation, partnership, or other entity.
You have not entered into any agreement to share the profit of your trading activities or receive compensation for your trading activities.
You are not receiving office space, and equipment or other benefits in exchange for your trading or work as a financial consultant to any person, firm or business entity.
Should we, or our exchange partners, determine — based on the information provided and / or companies websites, email address and domain, LinkedIn, regulatory or company registries, payment method — that you actually meet the criteria for a 'Professional' status at any point during or after subscribing to SpreadFighter or to market data from exchanges, you will be liable for the difference between the 'Non-Professional' and 'Professional' subscription rates for both SpreadFighter subscription and relevant market data. This applies retroactively from the date you initiated your subscription. Furthermore, we reserve the right to automatically invoice you for this difference and charge the associated amount to your on-file payment method.
11. Derived Data
Our proprietary derivation consumes raw market data and executes a 2-factor derivation process to produce the displayed price, later consumed by the price engine. Derived market data is sourced and supplied from various sources and can therefore be blended.
The derivation process involves changing the raw price by a factor determined by the volume of trading on the underlying market, a randomized variable and a maximum offset amount. The derived data price is only ever displayed to our non-professional clients, the derived data price then being the proprietary value of an organization.
At no point is raw data accessible by any client, nor can said data be reverse-engineered in any manner. All markets are passed through the same derivation engine.
12. Access and security
You accept responsibility for the confidentiality and use of any username and email address that use to register for your access to and use of our services. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify SpreadFighter of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. SpreadFighter cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply.
SpreadFighter considers private information on the site (source code of protected or invite-only scripts, etc.) to be confidential to you. SpreadFighter protects such private information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner that it protects personal data (please refer to our Privacy Policy for more information).
13. Payment and cancellation of service
By ordering any subscription on www.spreadfighter.com (including a free trial period) you confirm that you have read and accepted our Terms of Use and you authorize SpreadFighter to automatically charge your bank card or PayPal account according to the billing period manually selected by you.
Each user can try selected paid plans for 30 days free of charge. If the trial is not cancelled before its expiration date, it automatically converts to a monthly or annual paid plan depending on user’s choice. There are no refunds for monthly plans, even if the subscription is canceled on the same day as the autoconversion payment has gone through. Refunds are available only after an automatic deduction for annual payments (i.e. after trial and after renewal) within 14 calendar days after the payment was made. Please note that users who filed a chargeback/dispute request or a claim are not eligible for a refund. Essential, Plus and Premium subscriptions automatically include market data that is available without additional per-user fees only. You can see which markets are available for free and which need to be purchased separately on the SpreadFighter GoPro page. A cancelled trial and associated services will stop immediately after cancellation, except for any data packages that were purchased.
The service is billed in advance on a monthly, annual, or 2-year basis. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of service, or refunds for months unused with an open user account. If auto renewal fails for an annual plan you will automatically be switched to a monthly plan.
All billing is recurring, which means you will continue to get billed until you cancel your subscription. You are solely responsible for properly canceling your SpreadFighter subscription. An email request or support ticket asking for your subscription to be cancelled is not considered cancellation. You may cancel your subscription at any time by visiting the billing section of your Profile Settings page.
If you cancel the service before the end of your current paid up period, your subscription will remain active until the next due date. After the due date, if no payment received, your subscription will be stopped.
We do not offer refunds for initial payments. If you order the service for the first time, please make sure that the order is correct before the payment is made.
We do not offer refunds for recurring monthly payments. If you have been billed for automatic monthly renewal of the Service, you can cancel the subscription to avoid billing for next months.
We do not offer refunds for upgrades to a more expensive plan or a longer billing cycle. Remaining days are converted into an equivalent value of days on the new subscription.
We offer refunds for recurring annual and 2-year payments on demand. If you have been billed for automatic annual and 2-year renewal of the service, you have 14 calendar days (after the payment was made) to contact our support team. If you don't do this, SpreadFighter assumes that renewal of the service is expected and the payment will not be refunded.
Refunds are available only after an automatic deduction for annual payments (i.e. after trial and after renewal) within 14 calendar days after the payment was made.
Our moderators are official SpreadFighter representatives, with the authority to warn or ban users (including those with a paid subscription) when they do not abide by the House Rules. We do not offer refunds in case you are banned from publishing content and interacting with others because your paid subscription and all of its data and/or features are still available during any such ban.
SpreadFighter, LLC may use local subsidiaries or other entities to collect payments in certain geographies. However, all payments will be processed and managed by SpreadFighter, LLC, and the service will be provided by SpreadFighter, LLC, regardless of which entity collects the payment.
