Last Updated: 1 February 2024
This Market Data API Agreement (“Agreement”, “Terms of Use”, Terms of Service”, “Contract”) is a legally binding contract between you (“you”, “your”, “client”, “customer”), and Market Data (“Market Data”, “we”, “us”, “our”, “company”, “our company”). You understand, acknowledge, and agree, that this Agreement does not create an investment advisory relationship, a joint-venture, partnership, an employer-employee relationship, or any other relationship between you and Market Data. Neither party is an agent of the other and neither party is authorized to make any representation, contract, or commitment on behalf of the other party. The scope of this agreement is limited to the use of our software service by you. Market Data is your software service provider and you are our customer.

If you do not agree to the new Terms of Service, you must notify us in writing within 30 days and the company will at its sole discretion: (a) provide a refund of the unused time on your subscription or (b) continue to provide you service until the end of your current subscription under the previous agreement.
No Investment Advice
We are not a registered investment adviser nor a broker-dealer. We will NOT render investment advice to any individual or company.
This website is limited to the dissemination of general financial information. It is for informational purposes only and so should not be construed by a consumer and/or prospective client or investor as a solicitation to effect, or attempt to effect transactions in securities, or the rendering of personalized investment advice for compensation, over the Internet.
Trading securities and other financial instruments can involve high risk and the loss of all amounts invested. Trading securities and other financial instruments on margin or with other forms of leverage or borrowings can result in losses in excess of the amount invested. Investment-related information provided by us may not be appropriate for many clients or investors, and is provided without respect to individual investor financial sophistication, financial situation, investing time horizon, or risk tolerance. Such information is for general information purposes only. None of such information is meant to constitute financial or investment advice.
You should not treat any opinion expressed by us as a specific inducement to make a particular investment or follow a particular strategy, but only as an expression of opinion. Our opinions are based upon information we consider reliable but we do not warrant its completeness or accuracy, and it should not be relied upon as such. We and our affiliates and/or licensors are not under any obligation to update or correct any information provided on this website. Our statements and opinions are subject to change without notice. No part of our compensation is related to the specific opinions we express.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. We do not guarantee any specific outcome or profit. You should be aware of the real risk of loss in following any strategy or investment discussed on this website or on our materials. Strategies or investments discussed may fluctuate in price or value. You may get back less than invested. Investments or strategies mentioned on this website or on our materials may not be suitable for you. This material does not take into account your particular investment objectives, financial situation or needs and is not intended as recommendations appropriate for you. You must make an independent decision regarding investments or strategies mentioned on this website or in our materials. Before acting on information on this website or in our materials, you should consider whether it is suitable for your particular circumstances and strongly consider seeking advice from your own financial or investment adviser.
Please note: Hypothetical computer simulated performance results (“Backtesting”) are believed to be accurately presented. However, they are not guaranteed as to accuracy or completeness and are subject to change without any notice. Backtesting has certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, backtesting does not represent actual trading. Since, also, the trades have not actually been executed; the results may have been under or over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors such as liquidity, slippage and commissions. Backtesting in general is also subject to the fact that it is designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any portfolio will, or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown in our backtests. All investments and trades carry risks.
