License

GFD hereby grants you and your Authorized Users (as hereinafter defined) a fully revocable, nontransferable, nonexclusive right to use the Site and the Services solely in accordance with the Agreement. The foregoing right has been granted to you subject to your agreement to abide by the Agreement as well as any other rules, procedures, policies, terms or conditions governing the Site and the Services that may be displayed from time to time on the Site, in the Services, or otherwise provided to you by GFD and to which Users will be bound. You must be authorized by GFD (whether directly or through its licensees or distributors) to access and use the Site and the Services.  The Site and the Service are licensed, not sold, and you and your Users receive no title to or ownership of the Site or the Services itself. Furthermore, you receive no rights to the Site or the Services other than those specifically granted herein, all such rights being reserved to GFD.

Authorized Users may (a) subject to limits specified by GFD from time to time, download, transport, extract, or transfer Content (as hereinafter defined) to servers, hard drives, or other storage devices located on your network or hard drives (the “Storage Location”), provided that the Storage Location only accessible to: (i) the Authorized Users; (ii) database and IT administration and network specialists who may incidentally have access to the Content as part of their position and role; and (iii) supervisory employees who must have access to the Storage Location due to the local laws and regulations to supervise compliance with the local laws and regulations; (b) incorporate Content into software or analysis tools for internal business purposes only; and (c) use the Services to create Resultant Data (hereinafter defined) for back-testing, forecasting, portfolio balancing, regression analysis, and/or data integration purposes, and to perform calculations and develop trading strategies, investment ideas, and/or trading tactics.  You may use Resultant Data for your internal business purposes, and, on a non-systemic, occasional basis, may distribute de minimus portions of Resultant Data to your customers or clients.  Except as expressly set forth herein, you may not disclose or provide Resultant Data to any Person that is not an Authorized User, whether or not for consideration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, you may not use, transfer, distribute, or dispose of Services, Content, or Resultant Data that in any manner does or could compete with the business of GFD or its affiliates.  You shall ensure that all documents, materials, reports, presentations, charts, graphs, and other materials that contain, incorporate, or are based upon Services or Content clearly cite GFD as a source, and do not include Services or Content (other than Resultant Data or other de minimus portions of Content permitted to be distributed hereby), and cannot reasonably used as a facsimile or substitute for any Service or Content. As used herein, “Resultant Data” means data created by Authorized Users in compliance with the Agreement, in whole or in part using the Services or any Content, which cannot be: (i) reverse-engineered to recreate the original Services or any Content (as hereinafter defined), and (ii) used to create other data that is a reasonable facsimile for the Services or any Content.

Payment

You will pay fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Schedule. Any amounts payable to GFD which are not paid when due shall accrue past due charges from the date due until paid at a rate of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month or the legal maximum, whichever is less.  Fees payable to GFD are exclusive of taxes.  You shall be responsible for payment of all taxes payable with respect to the Services and Content, except, to the extent applicable, for taxes levied with respect to GFD’s net income.

 

Term and Termination

The term of the Agreement will commence on the date specified in the Schedule, and, except as otherwise set forth in the Schedule shall be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods unless either a party gives notice of its intent not to renew at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current term.  Either party can terminate the Agreement upon notice if the other party commits a material breach of the Agreement which is capable of being cured, which breach is not cured within thirty (30) days of receipt by the breaching party of written notice of such breach, provided that GFD may terminate the Agreement immediately upon notice if you breach the Sections of these TOS captioned License, Permitted Use, Intellectual Property, Registration, Restrictions on Use, Third Party Data, Privacy, Confidentiality, or Indemnity.

 

Effect of Termination

GFD reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to and use of all or any portion of the Site or Services at any time in its sole discretion as necessary to preserve and protect the security of the Site or the Services or the rights of GFD or any Supplier (as hereinafter defined). In the event your use of the Site or the Services is suspended or terminated, the Agreement will continue to apply to your past use of the Site and Services in the form in which it then existed at the time of the subject use. Termination of your access to and use of the Site and Services shall not relieve you of any obligations arising or accruing prior to such termination or limit any liability that you otherwise may have to GFD.  Without limiting the foregoing, the provisions of these TOS relating to intellectual property, confidentiality, indemnification, compliance with law, payment, Resultant Data, and limitations on liability shall survive any termination of the Agreement. Upon the termination or expiration of the Agreement: (a) all licenses shall terminate, and you and all Authorized Users shall immediately cease and desist all use of the Content and Services; (b) unpaid fees and other amounts payable to GFD shall accelerate and be immediately due, (c) all models, Resultant Data, and/or algorithms which depend and rely upon the Content shall be recalibrated and revised to exclude the Content from their processes, and (d) you and all Persons to whom you have transferred or provided Content or Services shall promptly, at GFD’s option, return or destroy all Content and Services (including all materials, documents, and files containing, embodying, or incorporating Content and Services), and certify such return, destruction and deletion in writing, provided that you may retain Content and Services to the extent required to comply with applicable law or regulation. Any Content or Services so retained shall not be used for any purpose other than as necessary for such compliance. Upon termination of the Agreement for any reason, you shall provide a termination certificate to GFD, in GFD’s standard form, confirming your compliance with this paragraph.  Should you fail to provide GFD an executed termination certificate no later than the effective date of the termination, then, in addition to all other remedies available to GFD as a result of such failure, all fees and other amounts payable to GFD shall continue to be due and payable until the executed termination certificate is delivered, and such termination shall not be effective with respect to your payment obligations to GFD.  Payment of such additional amounts shall not entitle you to access or use the Site or any Services.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that the Agreement is not terminated due to your default hereunder, and subject in every respect to your continued compliance with each and every of your obligations hereunder, you may retain and continue to use Resultant Data for your internal business purposes following termination of the Agreement.
