THERE ARE MAJOR RISKS IN TRADING, INVESTING, AND DAY TRADING ONLINE, WHICH MAKES IT UNSUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.
I. Logging onto and using the information provided on Our Company or submitting an application for any of our services including but not limited, Subscription-Based Services, etc. (hereafter referred to as "MEMBER", "SUBSCRIBER", OR "SUBSCRIPTION"), you hereby agree unconditionally to the legal terms and condition stated here.
II.

III. Information provided in any of the services provided by Our Company is solely for educational purposes only. As such, no legal responsibility is assumed by us, and the accuracy or reliability of information, quotes, opinions, or advice that results from any of our services is absolutely not guaranteed. Every "SUBSCRIBER" assumes sole legal responsibility for his or her decisions to follow suggestions made in any of our services to BUY or SELL Stocks, FOREX Lots, Futures, or Equities.
IV. Our Company and any of our subsidiaries, do not guarantee or represent that any "SUBSCRIBER" who follows any suggestions or advice given in any of our services, will be making profits.
V. International Our Company, its staff, consultants, and/or outsourcers, may hold positions in multiple Stocks, FOREX Lots, Futures, or Equities, mentioned in any of the services we provide. We are not obliged in any way to reveal information about this including but not limited to the time of acquisition of Stocks, FOREX, Futures, or Equities, as well as the amount of the position held or the closing time of a position.
VI. We recommend that every "SUBSCRIBER" seeks information from his or her preferred financial or investment advisor before getting into trading Stocks, FOREX, Futures, or Equities. Therefore, Our Company is not providing, whatsoever, any professional services, whether financial or investment and every potential "SUBSCRIBER" is recommended to seek fundamental trading education.
VII. I ("SUBSCRIBER") understand and agree that Our Company reserves the right to cancel my subscription at its absolute discretion, and no form of refund will be due to me for whatever reason. I also agree and understand that I reserve the right to cancel my subscription by the terms stipulated in the TERMS & CONDITIONS page. I agree that deciding to terminate my 'SUBSCRIPTION' before the expiration date of my current subscription entitles me to no form of credits or refunds for my unused 'SUBSCRIPTION' or 'SUBSCRIPTION'. I understand that in the event that I cancel my 'SUBSCRIPTION' prior to my current subscription period being completed, I am not entitled to any credits or refunds for my unused 'SUBSCRIPTION' or 'SUBSCRIPTION' term.
VIII. In addition, Our Company reserves the right to approve or deny the reactivation of a canceled subscription. Moreover, Our Company is under no legal obligation to disclose the reasoning for such denials.
IX. ('SUBSCRIBER' may hereinafter be referred to as 'I', 'MY', 'ME', 'YOU') I accept sole responsibility for any and all day trading, online trading, or online trading decisions, and accept that such decisions are made by ME alone. All transactions that occur in MY trading account with MY preferred broker are MY responsibility and I accept all legal responsibility for them. Heavy losses can be incurred when buying or selling FOREX, Stocks, Futures, or Equities, and YOU should carefully analyze YOUR financial condition to determine if trading FOREX, Stocks, Futures, or Equities Contracts, is financially prudent for you. I understand that buying or selling Stocks, FOREX, Futures, or Equities, can expose me to severe risks including the fact that I can suffer a loss of a percentage (if not 100%) of MY capital, cash, and/or assets pledged to trade Stocks, FOREX Lots, Futures Contracts, or Equities, through MY legal preferred broker.
X. I understand that Our Company is not responsible in any way, whatsoever, for any trading transactions that occur in MY trading account between ME and MY preferred broker. I agree that there may be periods when the Market turns against ME, or unfavorable Market conditions arise which make it hard, if not impossible, for Me to liquidate a position, and I assume full legal responsibility should this occur. I agree that purchasing or selling Stocks, FOREX Lots, Futures, and Equities, stated in any of the services provided by Our Company may result in a profit or loss.
XI. I understand as a trader that I am fully responsible for MY orders placed; MY orders filled; MY Stocks, FOREX Lots, Futures Contracts, or Equities, sold; MY Stocks, FOREX Lots, Futures Contracts, or Equities, bought; MY earned profits or MY incurred losses.
XII. I agree and understand that while the profits of day trading Stocks, Futures, FOREX, or Equities, can be substantial, I am also exposed to the risk of heavy losses of MY cash, capital, or assets, and therefore agree not to hold International Our Company, and any of its subsidiaries, responsible for any losses, no matter how large they may be. I understand that there may be other risks involved in the Buying/Selling of Stocks, FOREX, Futures, and Equities, online, not stated in this DISCLAIMER and it is my absolute legal responsibility to know, investigate, research, and assume, all additional risks inherent in trading. I also agree that the past performance of any of the services offered by Our Company should NOT be the basis for the expected results of MY trading.
XIII. Our Company or any of its subsidiaries, will not be held responsible to 'SUBSCRIBERS', or any other parties, for incurred losses, costs or expenses, loss of use, and damages (consequential/incidental or both) resulting from mistakes in, omissions from, or changes to, information, links, downloaded material or other materials, a 'SUBSCRIBER' may receive or come into contact with, while accessing the website. We do not provide any guarantees for the accuracy or validity of the information provided in any of our services generated from generally reliable sources due to the refusal of such companies to provide legal guarantees for their information.
XIV. The website, Our Company, does not accept any liability or legal responsibility for, arising out of use, any investment, online trades, interpretation, or acceptance, of any information available on this website. YOU agree to access this website at your own risk and we do not provide any legal warranty that information available or obtained on this website is absolutely accurate and reliable, or that accessing our servers cannot expose YOU to viruses or other forms of harm. YOU understand that you are solely responsible for damage or costs arising from damage to YOUR computer and any of its components.
XV. YOU agree to refrain from copying, duplicating, and/or soliciting information, material, and other properties owned by Our Company, or any of the services we provide unless we grant YOU prior written approval and consent.
XVI. YOU agree that the absolute risk of YOUR trading technique in the trading of Stocks, FOREX, Futures, or Equities, lies solely with you and you accept full legal responsibility for it. You reserve the right to act upon or discard recommendations made in the services we offer and should YOU decide to act upon any of them then YOUR actions are solely YOUR legal decision and International Our Company, or any of its subsidiaries, will NOT be held responsible.
XVII. The website, Our Company, advises all 'SUBSCRIBERS' to practice Demo Trading (trading accounts that do not use real cash) UNTIL you come about with a strategy that ensures consistent profit. Don't forget that real trading is substantially different from Demo trading. Demo Trading mitigates actual market conditions including, but not limited to, quick-moving markets, failure to have an order filled, bad market conditions, and so forth. An estimated 30% of your profits during demo trading should be deducted from your profits as this gives YOU a realistic view of possible earnings in actual trading. Keep in mind that there are no guarantees as to how much profit YOU will earn when trading with YOUR own money, even with the deduction of this figure. YOU are fully responsible for any risks inherent in your trades, and any online trading techniques YOU develop by using any of our services can expose you to risks.
XVIII. International Our Company reserves the legal right to review and make changes to its 'SUBSCRIPTION' fees at any time it deems necessary without prior notification to subscribers of such adjustments.
XIV. We have a Zero Tolerance Policy for the promotion of stocks, abusive language, or acts that we deem disruptive in our Live Trading Rooms or other areas of our website. And, Our Company reserves the right to terminate 'SUBSCRIBERS' found guilty of this policy.
V. International Our Company does not represent itself as an Investment Advisor or investing in Stocks, Futures, or Equities. We, therefore, do not provide any kind, whatsoever, of investing advice.
