Collective2 Terms of Use

1. What Collective2 provides

Collective2 provides software and marketplace tools that allow users to discover, evaluate, subscribe to, publish, and automate trading strategies. Collective2 may also provide analytics, rankings, alerts, commentary, educational content, and administrative communications related to the Service.

Collective2 does not guarantee the performance of any strategy, signal, model, manager, or automated process. Trading is risky. You can lose money, including all of the capital in your account.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must provide accurate, current, and complete information when you create an account, and you must keep that information updated.

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials, and for notifying Collective2 promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.

We may refuse registration, require additional verification, or suspend or terminate accounts that are incomplete, inaccurate, misleading, fraudulent, or otherwise create legal, compliance, operational, or security risk.

3. Payments, subscriptions, and fees

Some parts of the Service are free, and some require payment.

If you purchase a subscription, plan, or paid feature, you authorize Collective2 (or its payment processor) to charge the payment method you provide for the amounts shown at checkout, including recurring charges if the product renews automatically unless and until you cancel.

Prices, billing cycles, included features, and refund eligibility are shown at checkout or in the applicable product page, fee schedule, or feature-specific agreement. Taxes may be added where required.

You are responsible for keeping a valid payment method on file for any paid Service you use.

4. Trading risk; no guarantee; your decisions

Strategy performance data, model outputs, rankings, commentary, reviews, analytics, and other content made available through the Service are provided for informational purposes only.

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical or simulated results have material limitations and do not represent actual trading. Delays, outages, synchronization errors, software defects, broker limitations, market conditions, and user configuration choices can materially affect outcomes.

You are solely responsible for evaluating any strategy, signal, or manager and for all trading, investment, and risk-management decisions you make.

5. User content and platform content

You retain ownership of content that you submit to the Service. However, you grant Collective2 a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, distribute, modify for formatting purposes, and use that content as reasonably necessary to operate, improve, secure, and promote the Service.

If you submit strategy information, trading signals, commentary, profile information, or related materials, you also grant Collective2 the right to display performance records, maintain historical records, create rankings and analytics, include the information in aggregated or derived data products, and use excerpts for marketing, educational, or promotional purposes.

You represent that you have all rights needed to submit your content and that your content does not violate any law or any third party’s rights.

6. Reviews, rankings, and public evaluation

Collective2 may publish strategy statistics, rankings, scores, badges, commentary, reviews, and other evaluations of strategies, managers, and platform activity. These may be generated by software, by users, or by Collective2 personnel or contractors.

Collective2 may moderate, remove, or decline to remove reviews or other content in its discretion. Collective2 is not required to publish any particular review, rating, or response.

If you believe a factual statement about you or your strategy is materially inaccurate, you may request review by contacting Collective2. Collective2 may, but is not required to, revise or remove the content.

7. Acceptable use

You may not:

• violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right;
• use the Service to commit fraud or misrepresentation;
• interfere with the security or operation of the Service;
• scrape, copy, resell, or redistribute paid strategy content or other protected material except as expressly allowed;
• use bots, scripts, or other automated means to access the Service in a manner that burdens or disrupts it;
• impersonate another person or misstate your identity, affiliations, performance, or results; or
• upload or distribute content that is unlawful, defamatory, infringing, abusive, or misleading.

8. Third-party services and links

The Service may integrate with or link to third-party brokers, exchanges, payment processors, data providers, communication services, or external websites. Collective2 does not control those third parties and is not responsible for their acts, omissions, availability, content, pricing, security, or performance.

Your use of third-party services is governed by the terms and policies of those third parties.

9. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, trademarks, databases, site layout, and other platform content, is owned by Collective2 or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Except as expressly permitted in writing, you may not copy, modify, distribute, license, sell, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from the Service or platform content.

10. Suspension and termination

Collective2 may suspend, restrict, delist, or terminate access to the Service at any time if we reasonably believe that you have violated these Terms, created legal or operational risk, engaged in abusive conduct, failed to pay amounts due, or used the Service in a way that harms Collective2, its users, or third parties.

You may stop using the Service at any time. Any provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including provisions relating to fees owed, payment obligations, content licenses, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnity, and dispute resolution.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

12. Limitation of liability

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty disclaimers or liability limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

13. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Collective2 and its affiliates, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any third-party claim, demand, action, proceeding, liability, loss, damage, judgment, settlement, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to:

• your use of the Service;
• your content;
• your violation of these Terms;
• your violation of law; or
• your violation of any third party’s rights.

14. Changes to the Service or these Terms

Collective2 may modify the Service or these Terms from time to time. If we make a material change to these Terms, we will post the updated Terms with a new effective date and may also provide notice by email, in-product message, or other reasonable means.

Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the updated Terms means you accept the revised Terms.

15. Dispute resolution; arbitration; governing law

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its commercial arbitration rules.

Arbitration will take place in Westchester County, New York, unless the parties agree otherwise. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The prevailing party in any arbitration or court proceeding relating to enforcement of an arbitration award will be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

16. General terms

These Terms, together with any feature-specific agreements that apply to you, are the entire agreement between you and Collective2 regarding the Service.

If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

Collective2’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.

You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without Collective2’s prior written consent. Collective2 may assign these Terms in connection with a corporate reorganization, merger, sale, or transfer of assets.

Notices may be provided electronically, including by email or by posting within the Service.
