You acknowledge that you utilize the Service at your own risk, including the investment and analytical tools we make available to you. You recognize that numerous independent resources are available from which you can obtain information about issuers, securities, exchanges, industries, and any other factor that might influence a reasonable investment decision. You understand that all trade orders placed through the Service are at your sole risk and responsibility. We do not make recommendations or offer investment, financial, legal or tax advice. You alone are responsible for evaluating the merits and risks associated with the use of the Service. We are not responsible for the strategies, actions or inactions taken with respect to your Brokerage Account. We are not responsible for the gains or losses you incur. The orders you place and instructions you give to us will be unsolicited. Our employees, agents and representatives are not authorized to give you investment advice, and any instructions you receive from us with respect to your Brokerage Accounts will be limited to technical or administrative guidance. All investments involve risk, losses may exceed the principal invested, and the past performance of a security, industry, sector, market, or financial product does not guarantee future results or returns. You understand that the market values of securities fluctuate. Online trading has inherent risk due to system response, execution price, speed, liquidity, market data and access times that may vary due to market conditions, system performance, market volatility, size and type of order and other factors. An investor should understand these and additional risks before trading.

42. Investments Knowledge and Instructions

You assume individual responsibility for determining the suitability of all investment decisions and strategies you make or implement. You must base your investment decisions upon all information reasonably available to you and your own assessment of risks and rewards. You are solely responsible for knowing the rights and terms for all securities purchased, sold and/or maintained in your Brokerage Account.

You must know the expiration dates and redemption dates relevant to your investments. You must know the circumstances under which rights associated with your investments may be called, cancelled, or modified.

48. Mutual Funds and ETFs

Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses of a mutual fund or Exchange Traded Fund (“ETF”) carefully before investing. Contact us at the email address indicated under the “Contact Us” section for a prospectus, offering circular or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information and read it carefully. ETFs are subject to market fluctuation and the risks of their underlying investments. ETFs are subject to management fees and other expenses. Unlike mutual funds, ETF shares are bought and sold at market price, which may be higher or lower than their NAV, and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Investment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. ETFs are subject to risks similar to those of stocks. Some specialized exchange-traded funds can be subject to additional market risks. Leveraged and inverse exchange traded products are not designed for buy and hold investors or investors who do not intend to manage their investment on a daily basis. These products are for sophisticated investors who understand their risks (including the effect of daily compounding of leveraged investment results), and who intend to actively monitor and manage their investments on a daily basis. Certain mutual funds reserve the right to change their purchase, exchange, or redemption procedures, or to suspend or postpone redemptions under certain market conditions.

49. Requirements for Large Traders

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has adopted Rule 13h-1 requiring individuals and entities whose aggregate transactions in listed securities (exchange-listed equity securities, ETFs, and standardized options) equal or exceed 2 million shares or $20 million in fair market value during any calendar day, or 20 million shares or $200 million in fair market value during any calendar month, known as the "identifying activity level", to file Form 13H registering them as Large Traders. They will then be assigned a Large Trader Identification Number (LTID) by the SEC that they must disclose to their broker- dealers and identify the accounts to which it should apply.
For additional information on the Large Trader Reporting requirement, please visit the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/large-trader-faqs.html, or FINRA's at http://www.finra.org/Industry/Compliance/RegulatoryFilings/BlueSheets/P125234
Filing Form 13H: please note that all information provided through Form 13H is confidential and not accessible to the public.
Important: Individuals or entities must monitor their own trading activity to determine whether it equals or exceeds the identifying activity level in aggregate, and then disclose their Large Trader status to both the SEC (by filing Form 13H) and their broker-dealers (by providing them their LTID).
Please note that filing Form 13H voluntarily is an option to avoid constantly monitoring trading activity. However, if we realize your trading activity in your Brokerage Account(s) has reached the Large Trader threshold without possessing an LTID, you will be notified and must proceed to file Form 13H to register as a Large Trader with the SEC. You are then required to inform us of your assigned LTID and the Brokerage Accounts to which it should apply by contacting us by email at the address indicated under the “Contact Us” section.
Details on how to file Form 13H electronically can be found at http://www.sec.gov/info/edgar.shtml and https://www.edgarfiling.sec.gov/

Your estate must immediately notify us of your death in writing. Upon receipt of such notification, open orders in your Brokerage Account will be cancelled, and we will take whatever actions it deems advisable to protect ourselves against liabilities, claims, expenses, or losses arising from your death. If a joint Brokerage Account holder dies, the surviving Brokerage Account holder(s) must immediately provide us with written notice. The surviving account holder(s) will become the owner(s) of the Brokerage Account and will continue to be subject to these Terms.

If you fail to make a payment on time, you must pay a reasonable late fee determined by us. There will be NO Refunds of any fees paid for the Service (monthly recurring Service subscription), charged at the beginning of the recurring period. Once your brokerage account is closed (subscription canceled), you will not be charged the recurring fee for the Service again and access to the app may be terminated.

You grant us your express legal authority to use, liquidate and/or transfer any and all securities, assets, or other property in your Brokerage Account as needed to satisfy any indebtedness arising in connection with your Brokerage Account, to the extent permitted by law.

56. Breach

If you breach these Terms, we may take any action we deem advisable with respect to your Brokerage Account and Services, and in the event of a breach or default by you, we will have all the rights and remedies available to a secured creditor under all applicable laws. Among other remedies if you breach these Terms, we may restrict any Service, cancel, or liquidate your Brokerage Account, and sell any security, asset, or other property in your Brokerage Account.

57. Prohibited Activities

You agree to not make any misrepresentations with respect to your Brokerage Account or Services provided by us.. You agree to not engage in freeriding, which includes purchasing securities using the proceeds of invalid deposits or selling positions that were purchased with unsettled funds.

58. Good Faith Violation Disclosure

The prohibited practice of “freeriding” involves making securities purchases using the proceeds of sales of securities that were purchased with unsettled funds. Your account will be charged with a Good Faith Violation if you purchase a security in a cash Brokerage Account and sell that security to purchase another security using unsettled funds. Three (3) Good Faith Violations in any twelve (12) month rolling period will result in your account being restricted to “Funds in Advance” of trading for a period of 90 days. If your account trades through a 90-day restriction, any resulting loss in the account will be your responsibility and your account may be coded for “no more business”.
