YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE COMPANY SITES AND MATERIALS ARE CONDITIONED ON YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF AND COMPLIANCE WITH THESE TERMS. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE COMPANY SITES AND MATERIALS YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.

Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”) carefully before accessing or using any websites or materials provided by MktBull (the “Company” or “We” or “Us”), or its owners, subsidiaries, affiliates, and joint business ventures, and all their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives (collectively, “Company Affiliates”).
The Company may revise these Terms by updating this posting or communicating with you regarding the same via the contact information the Company has on record for you. Your continued use of Company Sites and Materials after such revisions have been posted or communicated to you indicates your acceptance of all such revisions.

2. GENERAL DISCLAIMER
The Company is not an investment, financial, tax, or legal advisor or a broker-dealer and does not purport to provide personalized investment, financial, tax, or legal advice in any form. The Company does not recommend the purchase of particular securities nor does the Company promise or guarantee any particular investment results. You understand and acknowledge that there is a very high degree of risk involved in trading securities and, in particular, in trading futures and options, and in trading penny stocks. You acknowledge and agree that you, and not the Company, are solely responsible for your own investment research and decisions. Do not trade with money that you cannot afford to lose. You understand that the Company encourages you to seek the advice of a qualified securities professional and/or tax or legal advisor, as necessary, before making any investment, and to investigate and fully understand any and all risks before investing. The Company assumes no responsibility or liability for your trading and investment results and you agree to hold the Company harmless for any such results or losses.
Past results of any individual trader or trading system published by the Company are not indicative of future returns by that trader or system, and are not indicative of future returns which may be realized by you. In addition, the methods, techniques, information, content, indicators, strategies, columns, articles and all other features of the Company Sites and Materials, or any Company product or service, (collectively, the “Information”) are provided for informational and educational purposes only and should not be construed as investment advice. Accordingly, you should not rely on the Information in making any investment. Rather, you should always perform additional independent research in order to allow you to form your own opinion regarding investments. You are solely responsible for your own trading decisions, and nothing in the Information is intended to be or should be interpreted as a promise or guarantee of any particular result. You should always check with your licensed financial, investment, legal, or tax advisor to determine the suitability of any investment.
3. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, HYPERLINKS & LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES
The Company Sites and Materials and related content, including without limitation the User Submissions (as defined below), third-party applications, and any other content on the Company Sites and Materials and the copyrights, trademarks, service marks and other intellectual property rights in such content are the property of Company and/or its third-party licensors or providers unless otherwise specifically stated. You may access and use such content solely for your own personal and non-commercial use. The Company or its third-party licensors, as applicable, reserve all rights not expressly granted in and to such content. Your modification or use of such content other than modification or use expressly permitted hereunder is a violation of our intellectual property rights and can subject you to legal liability.
The Company Sites and Materials may contain links to third-party websites. The fact that we provide such links is not an endorsement of that third-party or any services or products that they may offer, or a representation of our affiliation with that third-party. We do not exercise control over third-party websites. These other websites may follow different rules regarding the use or disclosure of the personally identifiable information you submit to them and you should read the privacy policies or statements of the other websites you visit.
4. USER SUBMISSIONS AND OTHER CONTENT
The Company Sites and Materials may permit the submission of content by users, including, for example, comments, articles, links, and conversations in our chat rooms (“User Submissions”). By posting any such User Submissions, you grant the Company an irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute such User Submission in any and all media or distribution methods (now known or later developed). The Company has the right, in its sole discretion and without further notice to you, to monitor, censor, edit, move, and/or remove any and all content posted on the Company Sites and Materials, including any User Submission, at any time and for any reason.
We do not represent or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, usefulness or reliability of any content or User Submission and do not necessarily endorse any opinions expressed therein. You understand that by using the Company Site and Materials, you may be exposed to content that might be offensive, harmful, inaccurate or otherwise inappropriate. We may not monitor or control the content or User Submissions accessible on the Company Sites and Materials.
Due to regulations at their workplace or other factors, some contributors are not able to reveal their real names. We give users the option to use a pseudonym when contributing for anonymity. Our assumption, as always, is that our readers desire rigorous and insightful research and opinion on the stocks and sectors they follow – the author is ultimately less important than the ideas conveyed. There are firm limits to this anonymity, however: MktBull holds our pseudonymous contributors to the same compliance and biographical standards as contributors who write under their own name. We insist on receiving the author’s real name and contact information (which we keep confidential) and maintain a correspondence with the author, forwarding the author any questions or concerns that may emerge about their articles.
5. SECURITY
No measures designed to protect, secure, or preserve the integrity or confidentiality of information, including methods of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage, can guarantee the security of your information. The Company makes no assurances regarding the security of your information.
6. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR THE COMPANY AFFILIATES NOR ANY OF THEIR SUPPLIERS, ADVERTISERS, OR SPONSORS ARE OR WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGES WHETHER UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY OF THE COMPANY SITES AND MATERIALS, OR ANY OF THE CONTENT CONTAINED THEREIN, OR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE USED OR PURCHASED THROUGH THE COMPANY INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST REVENUE OR INCOME, LOSS OF CAPITAL, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, OR SIMILAR DAMAGES, EVEN IF THE COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE) SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID TO US BY YOU, IF ANY, FOR MATERIALS OR SERVICES (INCLUDING SUBSCRIPTIONS), DURING THE PREVIOUS SIX (6) MONTHS PRIOR TO BRINGING THE CLAIM.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
As a condition of your use of the any of the Company Sites and Materials, you agree to indemnify and hold the Company and the Company Affiliates harmless for any losses, claims, judgments, costs, damages, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) caused by or resulting from (a) your violation of these Terms; (b) your use or reliance upon any of the Company Sites and Materials; (c) your violation of the rights of any third party, (d) any claim that one of your User Submissions caused damage to a third-party, or (e) any claim or demand by a third-party arising out of your use of any third-party website.
