XII. Simulated Performance Disclaimer for OddsMaker & A.I. System, {“HOLLY”)
  1. In addition to the Limitations of Liabilities described in Section 4, User understands that the OddsMaker & A.I. System, (referred to as “HOLLY”) and results shown herein are for informational purposes only. All the information included herein should not be considered as a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security or use any trading system.
  2. User understands that TI is not responsible for any losses that may result from whatever action you elect to take based on your use of TI Services including the OddsMaker & HOLLY software. The OddsMaker & HOLLY software may highlight different types of systems or algorithms from which User may choose to execute trades. Any type of system or algorithm User elects bears certain risks, along with the inherent financial risks related to investing in the stock market.
  3. When trades are executed in real market conditions using market orders, User may suffer financial losses due to market instability and/or volatility which may cause the market to move against User’s position. Therefore, a decision to trade in the stock market is made at User’s own risk and responsibility. It is strongly recommended that User does their own research prior to commencing trading.
  4. OddsMaker & HOLLY systems assume trades occur with at least one share with no consideration for partial fills, nor increased market order slippage. Therefore, User’s actual trading results may not match the results displayed in the OddsMaker or HOLLY panel.
  5. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the law of the State of California and the United States User agrees to submit itself to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Diego County, California, United States with respect to any legal proceedings that may arise in connection with TI, the Information and/or TI Services, and/or any dispute regarding this Agreement.

XIV. Arbitration

Such decisions and awards rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and conclusive.

The arbitrator shall not have the right to award punitive damages or speculative damages to either party and shall not have the power to amend this Agreement. The arbitrator shall be required to follow applicable law. IF FOR ANY REASON THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE BECOMES NOT APPLICABLE, THEN EACH PARTY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUE RELATING HERETO IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER MATTER INVOLVING THE PARTIES HERETO.
