QuantStrategy.io Terms of Service

Effective as of August 1, 2022

Welcome to QuantStrategy.io!

QuantStrategy.io is a cloud-based research and analytics platform. Our product makes it easier for people to research financial markets and make better investment decisions. Since our product is cloud based, you can access it through the web and through any number of device types (e.g., desktop, laptop, tablet, and smartphone devices) that you choose.

This document, the QuantStrategy.io Terms of Service (“Terms”), outlines the terms regarding your use of our products. These Terms are a legally binding contract between you and QuantStrategy.io so please read carefully. If you do not agree with these Terms, do not register or use any of the Services. By using, accessing or browsing the QuantStrategy.io Service, platform and products including applications, mobile, software, websites or other properties owned or operated by QuantStrategy.io or by registering for an QuantStrategy.io account ( “Services”) you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms for the Services provided by QuantStrategy.io (“QuantStrategy.io” or “we”).

PRIVACY

In order to operate and provide the Services, we collect certain information about you. We use and protect that information as described in our Privacy Policy. You acknowledge your use of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy and understand that it identifies how QuantStrategy.io collects, stores, and uses certain information.

CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We reserve the right to modify these Terms. We will post the most current version of these Terms at quantstrategy.io (the “Site”). If we make material changes to these Terms, we will notify you via the Services and/or by email to the address associated with your account. If you do not accept the changes, you must stop using and cancel your account by emailing connect@quantstrategy.io. Your continued use of our Services after we publish or send a notice about our changes to these Terms means that you are consenting to the updated terms.

YOUR ACCOUNT

Certain aspects of the Services may require you to obtain an account by completing a registration form and designating a user ID and password. When registering with QuantStrategy.io you must: (a) provide true, current and complete information about yourself on the registration form and (b) maintain such information so it continues to be true, current and complete. You are entirely responsible for all materials and information that you read, download, post or otherwise use via the Services (please also see our Acceptable Use Policy). Only you may use your QuantStrategy.io account and you are responsible for your account. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of the Services or your account, or have any questions about your account please contact QuantStrategy.io Support.

EMAIL SELECTED FOR YOUR ACCOUNT

You get to choose what email address(es) you register for an account. Please be aware, however, that if the domain of the email address associated with your account is owned or controlled by an organization (such as your work or school) and that organization establishes a direct relationship with us and wishes to add your account to such relationship, then you may be rolled into that organization’s account. Following that notice, if you choose not to change the email address associated with your account, your account will be controlled by the organization. If an organization provided you with your account (e.g., an employer or school), you understand that this organization has rights to your account and may: (a) manage your account (including suspending or canceling); (b) reset your password; (c) view your usage and profile data, including how and when your account is used.

By registering with QuantStrategy.io or signing up for Services, you understand that we may send you (including via email) information regarding the Services, such as: (a) notices about your use of the Services, including notices of violations of use; (b) updates to the Services and new features or products; and (c) promotional information and materials regarding QuantStrategy.io’s products and services. Please review your settings in your account to control the messages you receive from us or unsubscribe by following the instructions in the message. Notices emailed to you will be considered given and received when the email is sent. If you don’t consent to receive notices (other than promotional materials) electronically, you must stop using the Services.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

During your use of the Services, QuantStrategy.io may share with you information that is confidential, sensitive or should be kept secret. For example, if we tell you about our product roadmaps, product designs and architecture, technology and technical information, provide you with security audit reviews, business and marketing plans, or share with you our business processes, these should always be considered confidential to QuantStrategy.io. Similarly, we agree that your data usage, credit card/banking information and information contained in your account is confidential to you. Also, if either of us provide any documents to the other that are labeled “confidential” (or something similar), or provide information (either in writing or verbal) that is of a type that a reasonable person should understand to be confidential such information is to be treated as confidential information. However, if you tell us information that: (a) we already know at the time you tell us; (b) was told to us by a third party who had the right to tell us; (c) is generally available to the public; or (d) was independently developed by us without using any of your confidential information, then that information will not be considered confidential. The same goes for information that we tell you that falls into any of these categories. Lastly, we both agree that: (i) we will treat each other’s information with the same degree of care that we treat our own confidential information; (ii) will use each other’s confidential information only in connection with these Terms and the Services; (iii) only share the information with others who have a need to know and who have agreed in writing to treat it as confidential (as we’ve outlined in this section); and (iv) not share the information with any third party except as allowed in these Terms or through the Services. Of course, confidential information will always remain the property of its owner.

SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION OF THE SERVICE

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time in our sole discretion. You understand that if your account is suspended or terminated, you may no longer have access to the Content that is associated with the Services. Upon termination you may request access to your Content, which we will make available, except in cases where we have terminated your account due to your violation of these Terms. You must make such request within 14 days following termination otherwise, any Content you have stored with the Services may not be retrievable and we will have no obligation to maintain Content stored in your account after this 14-day period.

TRIALS

You can sign-up for a trial for some of the Services and your trial period starts on the day you create the trial account and lasts for 14 days. If you are on a trial, you may cancel at any time until the last day of your trial. If you do not wish to incur charges, you must cancel the account by the end of the 14th day. If you do not cancel your account and we have told you the account will converted to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period, then you authorize us to charge your credit card for that specific Service. You may, however, cancel your subscription before the next billing cycle in accordance with these Terms, but no credits or refunds will be available.

FEES

QuantStrategy.io offers both free and paid Services. If you choose to subscribe to a paid Service, you agree to pay the fees (“Fees”) as quoted to you when you purchase that Service. We may calculate taxes payable by you based on the billing information that you provide us at the time of purchase. You are responsible for all charges related to using the purchased Service (for example, data charges and currency exchange settlements). You will pay the Fees in the currency QuantStrategy.io quoted at the time of purchase. QuantStrategy.io reserves the right to change the eligible currencies at any time. QuantStrategy.io reserves the right to change its prices at any time, however, if we have offered a specific duration and Fee for your use of the Service, we agree that the Fee will remain in force for that duration. After the offer period ends, your use of the Service will be charged at the then-current Fee(s). If you don’t agree to these changes, you must stop using the Service and cancel via email to contact@quantstrategy.io (with cancellation confirmation from a QuantStrategy.io representative). If you cancel, your Service ends at the end of your current Service period or payment period, and no refunds for previously paid services will be issued. If you do not cancel in accordance with these Terms, the subscription for the Service will automatically renew at the then-current price and for the same subscription period. We will charge your credit card on file with us on the first day of the renewal of the subscription period.

BILLING/PAYMENT

If you select a paid Service, you must provide us with current, complete, accurate and authorized payment method information (e.g. credit card information). You authorize us to charge your provided payment method for the Services you have selected and for any paid feature(s) that you choose. We may bill: (a) in advance; (b) at the time of purchase; (c) shortly after purchase; or (d) if you have elected a subscription service, on a recurring basis. To the extent QuantStrategy.io has not received your payment, in order to bring your account up to date, we may bill you simultaneously for both past due and current amounts. If you do not cancel your account, we may automatically renew your Service(s) and charge you for any renewal term. You understand that failure to pay any charges or fees may result in the suspension or cancellation of your Services.

You may elect one of the following subscription plans and billing options (please note that there might be only one of these options available depending on the Service purchased): A monthly subscription plan (“Monthly Subscription Plan”). The subscription period for the Monthly Subscription Plan will be for one month and will automatically renew unless you cancel your Monthly Subscription Plan at least three business days prior to the renewal date. You will be billed on or about the same day each month until such time that you cancel. An annual subscription plan (“Annual Subscription Plan”). The subscription period for the Annual Subscription Plan will be for one year and will automatically renew each year on the anniversary unless you cancel at least three business days prior to your renewal date. You will be billed annually on or about the same day each year until such time that you cancel. Note that under the Annual Subscription Plan you will not be permitted to cancel or downgrade the QuantStrategy.io Service you have selected until the anniversary date. Be aware that you are committing to a one-year plan; if you are not certain, we recommend choosing the Monthly Subscription Plan. If you select the Monthly Subscription Plan, you can switch to the Annual Subscription Plan at any time. If you select the Annual Subscription Plan, you may not change to the Monthly Subscription Plan until the end of the one-year term of your Annual Subscription Plan.
