COMPANY SHALL PROVIDE NOTICE TO USER OF AMENDMENTS BY POSTING THE UPDATED TERMS OF SERVICE ON COMPANY'S WEBSITE. USER’S ACCESS TO AND CONTINUED USE OF THE WEBSITE OR SOFTWARE FOLLOWING THE POSTING OF A REVISED AGREEMENT MEANS THAT USER ACCEPTS AND AGREES TO THE CHANGES. USER SHALL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REFUSE SAID AMENDMENTS SOLELY BY REQUESTING TERMINATION OF ACCESS TO THE SOFTWARE.

1. Software Terms

a. Description

The Software is proprietary to Company and is protected by intellectual property laws and international intellectual property treaties. User's access to the Software is licensed and not sold. Software is a backtesting, order entry and trading application for transactions involving, but not limited to, stocks, futures, exchange traded funds, options, and currency orders (collectively "Orders") that interfaces through an Application Programming Interface ("API"). Orders are executed by third party brokers.

b. Grant of License

Company grants User, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, a nonexclusive and nontransferable license to use the Software for personal, non-professional use (Non-Professional License) or for internal business purposes (Professional License).

User may not redistribute or sublicense the Software or use the Software on behalf of any third party.

c. Professional vs Non-Professional

User must complete a questionnaire ("License Questionnaire") to determine the applicable license (Professional or Non-Professional License) before obtaining access to Software (other than free evaluation access which does not require completing questionnaire). License Questionnaire is a binding legal agreement between User and Company. The default classification is Professional; any User uncertain of their classification should indicate Professional. Any Professional User who obtains a Non-Professional License through false representation will be subject to account termination without refund.

d. Number of Users

Non-Professional License: The Software may be used only by the User to whom it is licensed and may not be shared with or transferred to anyone else.

Professional License: User may license Software for User's own use and optionally for use by additional users within the same organization ("Additional Users"). The total number of licensed users ("Total Users") is equal to the number of Additional Users plus User. User must indicate the number of Total Users at the time of purchasing a Professional License. The number of users who access the Software in any given calendar month may not exceed the number of licensed Total Users. For the purpose of determining Additional Users, anyone other than User who directly accesses the Software or who accesses any outputs of the Software, including data provided by the Software or calculations made by or within the Sofware, is considered an Additional User of the Software for that calendar month. If User wishes to increase the number of Total Users, User must upgrade the Professional License accordingly.

e. Number of installations

Non-Professional License: User may install the Software on up to 2 computers at one time for User's own individual, non-professional use.

Professional License: User or licensed Additional Users may install the Software on any computer, provided that the total number of installations at any one time may not exceed the number of licensed Total Users + 1.

f. Use of Third Party Vendors/Brokers

User is aware that the Software interacts with various third party software, platforms, APIs, equipment and Broker Platforms (collectively "Vendors"). User shall abide by all Vendors' individual terms of service agreements, if applicable. Any use of third party software provided in connection with the Software will be governed by such third parties' licenses and not by this Agreement. COMPANY MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH REFERENCE TO THIRD PARTY VENDORS’ SOFTWARE, DATA, AND/OR SERVICES AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

g. Open Source Software

The Software contains, or relies upon, various open source software components originating from the open source software communities. By installing or using any of the Software provided by Company, User also agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of all applicable open source software licenses. If User does not agree to be bound to such terms and conditions, User must immediately discontinue use of Software and remove all copies from User’s system. Please see the texts of these licenses at https://www.quantrocket.com/opensource/, which is expressly incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

Open source software licenses for components of the Software released under an open source license constitute separate written agreements. To the limited extent that the open source software licenses expressly supersede this Agreement, the open source licenses govern your agreement with the Company for the use of the components of the Software released under an open source license.

h. Timescale License Agreement

The Software contains, and relies upon, TimescaleDB for certain aspects of data storage and querying. TimescaleDB is a time-series database owned by Timescale, Inc. and packaged as a PostgreSQL server extension. By installing or using any of the Software provided by Company, User agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Timescale License Agreement, the text of which is located at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/timescale/timescaledb/master/tsl/LICENSE-TIMESCALE, and which is expressly incorporated into this Agreement by reference. If User does not agree to be bound to these terms and conditions, User must immediately discontinue use of Software and remove all copies from User’s system. Among other provisions, the Timescale License Agreement prohibits User from defining, redefining, or modifying the database schema in any TimescaleDB database utilized by the Software.

i. Accessibility and Function

User agrees that from time to time, the Software may be inaccessible or inoperable for any reason, including, without limitation: (i) equipment (hardware) malfunctions, (ii) software malfunctions, (iii) periodic maintenance procedures or repairs which Company may undertake from time to time, or (iv) causes beyond the reasonable control of Company or which causes are not reasonably foreseeable by Company. Company is not responsible, directly or indirectly, for the performance and/or reliability of Vendors, Broker Platforms, system, equipment or otherwise, or User's Internet Service Provider ("ISP").

j. Equipment

User shall be solely responsible for providing, maintaining and ensuring compatibility with the Software, all hardware, software, electrical and other physical requirements for User's use of the Software including, without limitation, telecommunications and Internet connection(s), ISP, web browsers and/or other equipment, programs and services required to access and use the Software.

k. Technical Support Services

Company may, at its sole option, provide technical support services, which are subject to this Agreement. User accepts all risks associated with any request or authorization by User for technical support. User's name and contact information provided to facilitate technical support may be logged to process support requests and will be processed in accordance with Company's then-existing Privacy Policy. To facilitate technical support, Company may request detailed log files produced by the Software. Log files may contain information such as brokerage account number or stock orders. User is responsible for removing any information they do not wish to share with Company.

THE COMPANY MAKES NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WITH REGARD TO TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND RELATED TO TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING SPECIAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOSS OF USE, DATA OR PROFITS REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY UNDER WHICH SUCH CLAIMS ARE ASSERTED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ACTIONS BASED ON CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORTIOUS CONDUCT, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROVISION OF TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES.

COMPANY MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH REFERENCE TO THIRD PARTY VENDOR/BROKER SOFTWARE, DATA AND/OR SERVICES.

9. Investment Disclaimer

Users acknowledge and understand that the Software is not intended to supply investment, financial, tax or legal advice. Company does not provide investment advice and any observations concerning any security, trading algorithm or investment strategy provided by Company is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold such investment or security or to make any other investment decisions. Company offers no advice regarding the nature, potential value, risk or suitability of any particular investment strategy, trading algorithm, transaction, security or investment. User acknowledges and agrees that any use of the Software, any decisions made in reliance on the Software, including any trading or investment decisions or strategies, are made at User's own risk.

To the extent any of the information provided by the Software or found in the Website may be deemed to be investment, financial, tax, or legal advice, such information is impersonal and not tailored to the investment needs of any specific person but is for general, educational purposes.

If investment, trading or other professional advice is required, the services of a competent, licensed professional should be sought. No employee, agent or representative of QuantRocket LLC is authorized to provide any such advice pursuant to this Agreement, and any such advice, if given, is in violation of Company's policies, is unauthorized and may not be relied upon.

Any order and/or execution trading services User may use in connection with the Software are provided by independent broker-dealers and not by Company. In order to use the Software to enter orders for the purchase and sale of securities and/or to implement any investment strategy or trading algorithm, User must have an existing brokerage account with such a broker-dealer or establish one. Company is not a broker-dealer and is not affiliated with any broker-dealer; further, Company does not endorse or recommend the services of any broker-dealer. The broker-dealer where User maintains an account is solely responsible for its services to User and User agrees that Company is not liable for any damages or costs of any type whatsoever connected with those services including, but not limited to, trading losses.

Complex Trade Risk: The Software is capable of generating custom solutions of arbitrary complexity. The trades generated by the Software may increase beyond what is practical to execute, due to broker execution limits and the difficulties in executing a complex trade in an all-or-none fashion. Moreover, once the trade is executed, the management of a complex trade becomes more difficult than is normally the case. Moreover, User may not be authorized to execute all contract types found in the solutions generated. Company makes no representation that a solution generated by the Software can be executed and effectively monitored and managed in practice. It is User's responsibility to ensure the trade is executable and manageable, and appropriate for User's needs.

User should not rely solely upon the information provided by the Software or found in the Website for purposes of transacting securities or other investments. Users are encouraged to conduct their own research and due diligence, and to seek the advice of a qualified securities professional before they make any investment. None of the information contained in the Software or the Website constitutes, or is intended to constitute a recommendation by Company of any particular security or trading strategy or a determination by Company that any security or trading strategy is suitable for any specific person. Trading in any security can result in immediate and substantial losses of the money invested. It is suggested that User only invests funds that are not allocated for other purposes, including retirement savings, student loans, or debt service.

10. Professional Advice Disclaimer

NEITHER COMPANY NOR THE SOFTWARE OR THE INFORMATION FOUND ON THE WEBSITE IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE LEGAL, TAX OR FINANCIAL ADVICE. COMPANY IS NOT A FINANCIAL PLANNER, BROKER, OR TAX ADVISOR.

User's financial situation is unique, and any information obtained through the Software or the Website may not be appropriate for User's situation. The use and interpretation of the Software requires skill and judgment, and User shall at all times exercise User's own judgment in the use of the Software or any information derived from User’s use of the Software or the Website.
