SUBSCRIBER AGREEMENT
This Subscriber Agreement ("Agreement"), dated 2019-11-22 ("Effective Date"), between Global Financial Information Services GmbH ("GFIS") and the undersigned subscriber ("Subscriber"), governs the Subscriber's subscription ("Subscription") to any market data or other information accessible through GFIS, including bids, offers, prices, rates, other trading and informative data including information derived therefrom, distributed or made available through GFIS (collectively, "Data").
Limited Duration, Non-Exclusive, Non-Transferable License: Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, GFIS grants to the Subscriber, for the term set forth below, a non-exclusive, non-transferable license during the term of the Agreement to receive and use the Data as provided herein.
Professional/Non-Professional Market Data User: Subscriber will be required to provide certain information to determine whether Subscriber meets the definition of a Non-Professional Subscriber or a Professional Subscriber. Subscriber agrees to provide accurate information and immediately notify GFIS in the event of any change in Subscriber's information or in Subscriber's status as Professional or Non-Professional Market Data User.
For Non-Professional Subscribers, the Data is licensed only for personal use. By representing to GFIS that Subscriber is a Non-Professional Subscriber, or by continuing to receive Data at a Non-Professional Subscriber rate, Subscriber is affirming to GFIS that Subscriber meets the definition of a Non-Professional Subscriber. Subscriber shall comply promptly with any reasonable request from GFIS for information regarding the Non-Professional Subscriber's receipt, processing, display and redistribution of Data.
For Professional Subscribers, the Data is licensed for the internal business use and/or personal use of the Subscriber. Upon request, Professional Subscriber shall make its premises available to GFIS or its agent for physical inspection of Professional Subscriber's records regarding use of or access to the Data, all at reasonable times, upon reasonable notice, to ensure compliance with this Agreement.
Proprietary Data: Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that GFIS and/or third-party data suppliers (each, a "Data Supplier") have proprietary rights to the Data. The Data shall remain the property of GFIS and/or the Data Suppliers. Neither GFIS nor any Data Supplier shall be deemed to have waived any of its proprietary interests in the Data as a result of providing the Data to Subscriber.
Use of Data: Subscriber agrees not to sell, lease, reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit the Data in any manner without written consent of GFIS and any applicable Data Supplier. Subscriber specifically agrees, that Subscriber shall not use or permit another person to use any Data for the purposes of (i) creating derived data products based upon or derived from the Data, (ii) determining or arriving at any price, including any settlement prices, for derivatives contracts, options on derivatives contracts, or like derivatives instruments traded on any exchange and (iii) creating any index or indices (iv) for any other derived works that will be disseminated, published or otherwise used externally. Subscriber will use Data solely in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations ("Applicable Laws").
GFIS reserves the right to terminate access to all or any portion of the Data, at any time at its discretion, to modify the transmission and delivery times, as well as the transmission speeds, the protocols of the Data rendered, the format and the contents, of the Data provided.
GFIS shall further be entitled to suspend or discontinue the access to the Data with immediate effect if the Subscriber infringes any terms of this Agreement; this may include cases where the Subscriber makes use of the Data contrary to this Agreement.
Subscriber will not transfer or disclose such Data to third parties except as permitted herein or as required to comply with Applicable Laws.
Term and Termination: This Agreement shall start on the Effective Date and shall continue on a month-to-month basis at the then-current rates until terminated by Subscriber or GFIS.
Subscriber must provide 30 days notice to GFIS of termination with the termination being effective at the end of a calendar month.
GFIS may terminate this Agreement at any time upon notice to Subscriber. GFIS may terminate this Agreement immediately with or without notice to Subscriber in the event that Subscriber breaches any term of this Agreement (in which case, Subscriber shall immediately forfeit the right to receive Data for the current and all future subscription months).
Fees and Automatic Billing: Subscriber shall pay fees to GFIS in accordance with the then-current Fee Schedule on the GFIS website (www.gfis.info) ("Fees"). Subscriber agrees that GFIS may change the Fees at any time without prior notice to Subscriber.
Fees will be charged to Subscriber automatically every month on the first day of the month ("Payment Date"). Subscriber authorizes [name of GFIS affiliate] to deduct the Fees from Subscriber's brokerage account at [name of the affiliate]. If [name of the affiliate] is unable to deduct the Fees, then Subscriber shall pay the Fees to GFIS within 30 days of receipt of the invoice. GFIS may assess a late charge at a rate of three percent (3%) per month on all amounts due and not paid within thirty (30) days of the date of GFIS's invoice until the time of payment. Subscriber's failure to pay amounts when due, constitutes a material breach. In addition to all other rights and remedies available to GFIS at law or in equity, GFIS may also suspend delivery of the Data or any component thereof for as long as any amount remains unpaid after such thirty (30) day period. Subscriber shall pay any applicable taxes, including, but not limited to, any VAT, charges or assessments by any foreign or domestic national, state, provincial or local government bodies, or subdivisions thereof relating to the provision of the Data.
Subscriber acknowledges that all Fees are non-refundable when paid (exclusive of double payments and other manifest errors).
Security Information and Access: Subscriber will obtain a username and/or password or other security code or device (collectively "Security Information") to access Data. Subscriber agrees to keep the Security Information confidential and not to disclose Subscriber's Security Information to third parties. Subscriber may access a Subscription through only one internet-connected computer or mobile device at a time. If the Security Information is lost or stolen, or there is a possibility of it being misused in any way, the Subscriber undertakes to promptly notify GFIS.
No Recommendation to Buy or Sell Securities: None of the Data constitutes a recommendation by GFIS or a solicitation to buy or sell any security or other investment product.
