9. Privacy
- This website uses cookies to monitor browsing preferences. If You allow cookies to be used we may store general information about You. For more information about how we protect Your privacy and personal information, please see our privacy policy.
- During the term of the Agreement, You agree to be bound by the Privacy Policy.
- This website may include links to other websites, which are not directly controlled by us. These third-party links are provided for Your convenience to provide You with further information. You acknowledge that they are used at Your own risk. We have no control over the nature, content and availability of these other websites and take no responsibility for the content, accuracy, or function of these other websites.
- If this website contains third party advertisements (such as banner ads or referral buttons), which contain embedded links to other sites where goods or services are advertised, the placement of such advertisements on this website does not constitute the recommendation or endorsement by us or any goods or services advertised by the third party. The third-party advertiser is solely responsible to You for any representations or offers made by it, and for any goods or services which You agree to purchase or acquire from those third parties.
10. Representation as non-professional investor
- By establishing an account and selecting a Subscription Plan without liaising directly with TradeFloor, you will be considered a non-professional investor (NPI), and you having declared that your use of the TradeFloor Software is for personal use only.
- For the purposes of this Section, an “NPI” or “Non-Professional Investor” means any person who accesses the TradeFloor Software for their personal and private use. This expressly excludes, without limitation, the following persons:
- any person registered with any securities agency, regulatory or self-regulatory body;
- any person engaged in a financial services business or employed as a financial adviser;
- any person accessing or using the TradeFloor Software other than for personal use;
- any person accessing the TradeFloor Software in the course of their employment or in connection with any form of trade or business;
- any person engaging in the business of accessing or aggregating information and redistributing or otherwise furnishing that information to third parties; and
- if this Agreement is as-between a separate user that is other than the NPI and is not accessing the TradeFloor Software in their personal capacity.
The definition of NPI should be construed as allowing natural persons associated with non-commercial organisations (such as family investment trusts, self-managed super funds, and investment clubs), to access the Information at the Non-professional Continuous Enquiry Fee. Please note that the non-commercial organisation itself cannot be construed as a NPI, nor can any professional staff paid to support its activities – e.g. lawyers, accountants, administrative staff etc.
iii. If you intend on using the TradeFloor Software not for personal use (e.g. you are a professional investor or you are a financial adviser that is trading on behalf of retail clients), please contact us under Section 14.
11. General advice only- THE TRADEFLOOR SOFTWARE IS DESIGNED TO EMPOWER PERSONS WITH INFORMATION TO DEAL IN FINANCIAL PRODUCTS. HOWEVER, IT IS CRUCIAL THAT THE TRADEFLOOR SOFTWARE AND THE INFORMATION CONTAINED THEREIN IS OF A GENERAL NATURE ONLY AND DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT YOUR UNIQUE FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES, NEEDS, OR OBJECTIVES. OUR TECHNOLOGY IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PERSONALISED, PROFESSIONAL FINANCIAL ADVICE TAILORED TO YOUR SPECIFIC SITUATION.
- BEFORE MAKING ANY FINANCIAL DECISIONS, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONSIDER SEEKING FINANCIAL ADVICE FROM A PROFESSIONAL ADVISER. THIS WILL ENSURE THAT THE GENERAL ADVICE YOU RECEIVE, WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF OUR TRADEFLOOR SOFTWARE, IS ALIGNED WITH YOUR INDIVIDUAL GOALS AND CIRCUMSTANCES. WHILE WE AIM TO MAKE THE FINANCIAL DECISION-MAKING PROCESS MORE ACCESSIBLE AND EFFICIENT, THE IMPORTANCE OF PERSONALISED GUIDANCE CANNOT BE OVERSTATED.
12. Severability
- If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
- TradeFloor reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify or replace this Agreement at any time. If a revision to the Agreement is material we will provide at least 30 days' notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change to the Agreement will be determined at our sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, a revision to the features within the TradeFloor Software will likely not be considered a material change to the Agreement.
