Terms of Service

Rapid Trades is currently intended only for users located in the United States.

You must:

• •be at least 18 years old;
• •be legally capable of entering into a binding agreement;
• •provide accurate account information; and
• •use the Services in compliance with applicable law.

Rapid Trades may restrict access from particular states, territories, jurisdictions, networks, or locations when reasonably necessary for legal, regulatory, licensing, security, business, or technical reasons.

Availability of the Services does not mean that every feature or type of market data is available to every user.

Rapid Trades may expand or change geographic availability in the future.

Rapid Trades is software designed to organize and analyze market information according to defined criteria.

The Services may include:

• •scanner workspaces;
• •morning gapper information;
• •criteria-based alerts;
• •momentum detection;
• •rapid price-movement detection;
• •relative-volume information;
• •volume information;
• •public-float information;
• •price and percentage-change information;
• •market news;
• •catalyst information;
• •trading-halt information;
• •rankings and strength indicators;
• •watchlist candidates;
• •charts and market statistics;
• •notification tools;
• •educational materials; and
• •other market-research functionality.

Rapid Trades does not operate a securities exchange, broker-dealer, brokerage account, investment fund, trade execution venue, order-routing system, or money-management service.

Rapid Trades is separate from your broker.

Rapid Trades does not:

• •receive your securities orders;
• •route orders;
• •guarantee execution;
• •determine execution prices;
• •supervise your brokerage account;
• •calculate your actual buying power;
• •control broker risk restrictions;
• •control locate availability;
• •determine settlement;
• •maintain custody of securities; or
• •guarantee that your broker displays the same data as Rapid Trades.

Any transaction you place occurs between you and your chosen brokerage or other financial institution.

Rapid Trades is not responsible for your broker's actions, failures, restrictions, data, executions, outages, or pricing.

Rapid Trades should be one input in your independent research process, not the sole basis for a financial decision.

Before acting on information displayed by Rapid Trades, you should independently verify information you consider material using appropriate primary or authoritative sources.

Depending on the information, those sources may include:

• •exchanges;
• •SEC filings;
• •issuer disclosures;
• •brokerage data;
• •official news releases; or
• •other independent market-data sources.

Markets can change between the moment Rapid Trades processes information and the moment you view or act upon it.

Rapid Trades features may use different:

• •data sources;
• •processing intervals;
• •time windows;
• •formulas;
• •caching methods;
• •session definitions;
• •update schedules;
• •historical baselines; or
• •calculations.

Accordingly, two Rapid Trades features can display different values relating to the same security.

Neither value is guaranteed to be definitive.

Price, trade, and volume information may be received from multiple markets or data vendors.

Reported activity may be corrected, canceled, delayed, aggregated, or otherwise adjusted after initial transmission.

Rapid Trades does not guarantee that:

• •every trade is captured;
• •every trade is captured immediately;
• •volume represents every trading venue;
• •displayed volume exactly matches your broker;
• •historical and current-session data use identical methodologies; or
• •a displayed price could have been obtained by a user.

Relative volume ("RVOL") and other calculated metrics are analytical measurements.

There is no single universal calculation for every such metric.

Rapid Trades may calculate values using combinations of:

• •current market activity;
• •historical market activity;
• •defined session periods;
• •proprietary formulas;
• •vendor information; and
• •internal processing rules.

Another platform may use a different methodology and produce a different result.

A displayed RVOL, strength value, ranking, percentage, score, or similar metric is not a guarantee regarding future price performance.

Float, shares outstanding, and similar company information may originate from regulatory filings, company disclosures, third-party providers, calculated values, or other information sources.

These values can be:

• •outdated;
• •estimated;
• •calculated differently by different providers;
• •affected by recent offerings;
• •affected by warrants or conversions;
• •affected by reverse splits;
• •affected by corporate actions; or
• •otherwise incomplete.

Rapid Trades does not guarantee that a displayed float value represents the exact number of shares available for trading at that moment.

Rapid Trades may identify or display news, filings, press releases, headlines, or other events as possible catalysts.

A catalyst label is an organizational research feature.

It does not mean Rapid Trades has determined that an event:

• •caused a price movement;
• •will cause future price movement;
• •is material;
• •is positive;
• •is negative;
• •is accurate;
• •is complete; or
• •should affect your trading decision.

Automated or software-assisted classifications can be incorrect.

Rapid Trades may fail to discover relevant news.

A displayed headline can omit important context.

Whenever news is material to your decision, review the underlying source yourself.

Rapid Trades may display information concerning trading halts.

Halt information can change quickly.

Rapid Trades does not control:

• •when a security is halted;
• •why an exchange halts it;
• •how long the halt lasts;
• •when quotes resume;
• •when trading resumes; or
• •the price at which trading resumes.

Any countdown, estimated time remaining, reason, code, or resume information should be treated as informational rather than guaranteed.

Do not use Rapid Trades as your sole source for determining whether a security is currently tradeable.

Corporate actions can temporarily distort or invalidate historical comparisons and current calculations.

These actions include:

• •stock splits;
• •reverse splits;
• •offerings;
• •mergers;
• •acquisitions;
• •warrant exercises;
• •conversions;
• •dividends;
• •reorganizations;
• •symbol changes;
• •exchange changes; and
• •other issuer actions.

Rapid Trades may not immediately reflect every corporate action across every feature.

Users are responsible for verifying material corporate actions before making a financial decision.

Automated market scanners inherently can generate false positives and false negatives.

A security may appear even when:

• •a data point was incorrect;
• •a condition existed only momentarily;
• •a corporate action affected the calculation;
• •a vendor subsequently corrected its information; or
• •the user expected a different calculation.

Likewise, a security may fail to appear even if, after the fact, available information suggests that it satisfied certain criteria.

Rapid Trades does not guarantee detection of every qualifying security or market event.

Every electronic system introduces some degree of latency.

Time is required to:

1. 1.generate market information;
2. 2.transmit the information;
3. 3.receive the information;
4. 4.process the information;
5. 5.evaluate scanner conditions;
6. 6.publish an output;
7. 7.transmit the output to your device; and
8. 8.render the output to you.

Accordingly, the market can materially change before an alert reaches you.

A timestamp does not guarantee that the displayed market condition remained available at that timestamp or afterward.

Rapid Trades may provide:

• •demonstrations;
• •simulated information;
• •test environments;
• •beta features;
• •preview functionality;
• •experimental algorithms; or
• •developmental tools.

These features may contain fabricated, historical, temporary, incomplete, or simulated information.

Beta and experimental features may fail, change substantially, or disappear without notice.

Unless Rapid Trades expressly states otherwise, demo or test data should not be interpreted as current live market information.

Rapid Trades owners, officers, employees, contractors, or other associated persons may personally invest in or trade securities.

Those securities may also appear within Rapid Trades.

Associated persons may:

• •own a security before it appears;
• •purchase a security before it appears;
• •trade while it appears;
• •continue holding it after it appears;
• •sell it after it appears;
• •sell it before it appears;
• •maintain long positions;
• •maintain short positions; or
• •make trading decisions different from those made by Rapid Trades users.

A Rapid Trades alert does not mean that any Rapid Trades owner, employee, or associated person currently owns or trades the security.

Rapid Trades does not undertake to disclose associated persons':

• •positions;
• •account balances;
• •entry prices;
• •exit prices;
• •position sizes;
• •profits;
• •losses; or
• •future trading intentions,

except where disclosure is required by applicable law.

Rapid Trades personnel may not intentionally manipulate Service functionality, scanner criteria, alerts, market information, or other outputs for the purpose of artificially influencing a security or improperly benefiting a personal position.

Nothing in these Terms authorizes conduct prohibited by securities laws.

Rapid Trades may depend upon third parties for:

• •market data;
• •company information;
• •news;
• •hosting;
• •databases;
• •authentication;
• •email;
• •payment processing;
• •analytics;
• •security;
• •communications;
• •content; and
• •other infrastructure.

Third parties operate independently from Rapid Trades.

Rapid Trades is not responsible for third-party outages, data errors, service changes, licensing decisions, security incidents, or discontinued services.

Rapid Trades may replace a third-party provider or data source at any time.

Market information may be subject to rights and restrictions belonging to exchanges, vendors, licensors, or other providers.

Your Rapid Trades subscription does not transfer ownership of third-party market data to you.

Certain providers or exchanges may require:

• •separate subscriber agreements;
• •professional/non-professional classification;
• •additional disclosures;
• •identity information;
• •business information;
• •additional fees; or
• •other eligibility requirements.

You must provide accurate information regarding your status.

Rapid Trades may restrict particular data if required by an exchange, vendor, contract, or applicable law.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, standard Rapid Trades subscriptions are licensed to a single individual.

Your subscription is personal to you.

You may not:

• •share your password;
• •share account access;
• •sell account access;
• •rent account access;
• •allow multiple users to routinely use one account;
• •create pooled access;
• •bypass concurrent-session limits; or
• •use an individual plan as a substitute for required commercial access.

Rapid Trades may use reasonable security and technical measures to identify suspected unauthorized account sharing.

• •a company;
• •investment firm;
• •financial institution;
• •fund;

• •different market-data fees;
• •different licensing rights; or
• •additional terms.

Rapid Trades may request information reasonably necessary to determine your subscriber classification.

If your actual use does not correspond with your subscription classification, Rapid Trades may reclassify, restrict, suspend, or terminate access.

You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials.

You must promptly notify support@rapid-trades.com if you suspect:

• •unauthorized access;
• •account compromise;
• •stolen credentials; or
• •unauthorized activity.

You are responsible for activity occurring through your account to the extent permitted by law when caused by your failure to reasonably protect your credentials.

• •create a competing commercial dataset primarily from Rapid Trades outputs; or
• •use Rapid Trades outputs to train or operate a system whose primary purpose is reproducing Rapid Trades' proprietary scanner functionality.

This section does not prohibit ordinary manual use of the Services consistent with your subscription.

Reasonable personal screenshots or personal records are permitted unless applicable third-party licensing restrictions require otherwise.

Rapid Trades may not be used to facilitate unlawful market activity.

You may not use the Services to facilitate:

• •pump-and-dump activity;
• •wash trading;
• •matched trading;
• •spoofing;
• •fraudulent securities promotions;
• •knowingly false market rumors;
• •artificial volume;
• •artificial price manipulation;
• •unlawful coordinated trading;
• •unauthorized securities solicitation; or
• •other prohibited conduct.

Rapid Trades may investigate suspected abuse.

Rapid Trades may preserve information and cooperate with regulators, exchanges, law enforcement, courts, or other legally authorized parties when required or permitted by law.

Rapid Trades retains ownership of or applicable rights in its original:

• •software;
• •scanner architecture;
• •source code;
• •branding;
• •logos;
• •graphics;
• •website;
• •interfaces;
• •layouts;
• •original written materials;
• •databases;
• •proprietary calculations;
• •ranking systems;
• •alert logic;
• •workflows; and
• •other intellectual property.

Your subscription provides access to the Services. It does not transfer ownership of Rapid Trades intellectual property.

Third-party materials remain owned by their respective rights holders.

All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

If you voluntarily provide Rapid Trades with product feedback, suggestions, ideas, feature requests, or recommendations, you grant Rapid Trades a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free right to use, modify, incorporate, commercialize, and otherwise use that feedback without compensation or obligation to you.

This provision applies to feedback about Rapid Trades and does not grant Rapid Trades ownership of unrelated confidential information belonging to you.

Rapid Trades may offer monthly and annual paid subscriptions.

The applicable:

• •price;
• •billing interval;
• •features;
• •trial terms; and
• •renewal information

will be disclosed during purchase.

Except where expressly identified as non-renewing, paid subscriptions automatically renew at the applicable billing interval until canceled.

By purchasing a recurring subscription, you authorize Rapid Trades and its payment processor to charge your designated payment method for recurring subscription fees and applicable taxes.

Monthly subscriptions ordinarily renew each month.

Annual subscriptions ordinarily renew each year.

Renewal occurs until you cancel or Rapid Trades terminates the subscription.

The price charged at renewal will be the applicable subscription price disclosed to you, subject to lawful price changes and required notice.

Rapid Trades will provide renewal disclosures and notices where required by applicable law.

You may cancel your Rapid Trades subscription directly from the subscription or billing controls available through your Rapid Trades account.

Cancellation stops future automatic renewal.

Unless applicable law or a specific offer states otherwise:

• •cancellation does not reverse a charge already processed;
• •you retain access through the end of your paid subscription period; and
• •your subscription will not renew after the current period ends.

If account-based cancellation is temporarily unavailable because of a technical problem, contact support@rapid-trades.com.

Rapid Trades will not intentionally require users to continue paying after a valid cancellation has become effective.

Rapid Trades may offer:

• •free trials;
• •paid trials;
• •promotional pricing;
• •introductory offers;
• •beta access; or
• •other limited offers.

Specific offer terms displayed during enrollment control the duration, price, eligibility, conversion, and renewal terms of that offer.

If a trial is disclosed as automatically converting into a paid subscription, you authorize the disclosed charge unless you cancel before the applicable conversion date.

Rapid Trades may limit promotions to eligible new customers or impose reasonable limits by:

• •individual;
• •household;
• •payment method;
• •account; or
• •other fraud-prevention criteria.

Creating multiple accounts to repeatedly obtain introductory offers is prohibited.

You must provide a valid payment method for paid subscriptions.

If payment fails, Rapid Trades may:

• •retry the payment;
• •request an updated payment method;
• •restrict paid features; or
• •suspend the subscription.

Nothing in these Terms prevents you from exercising lawful rights to dispute genuinely unauthorized or erroneous charges.

However, knowingly submitting false payment disputes, fraudulent chargebacks, or materially misleading claims regarding authorized transactions may constitute a violation of these Terms.

Prices may not include applicable taxes unless expressly stated.

Rapid Trades may collect sales, use, or similar taxes when legally required.

You are responsible for taxes applicable to your purchase except taxes imposed directly on Rapid Trades' income.

Rapid Trades may change subscription pricing.

A price change does not ordinarily alter a subscription period already paid for.

For recurring subscriptions, Rapid Trades will provide advance notice of price increases where required by applicable law before charging the increased renewal price.

If you do not want to continue at the new price, you may cancel before the renewal becomes effective.

Financial markets, technology, regulations, and data sources change.

Rapid Trades may therefore:

• •add features;
• •remove features;
• •replace features;
• •change scanner criteria;
• •change calculations;
• •change thresholds;
• •change data providers;
• •change supported securities;
• •change supported sessions;
• •modify interfaces;
• •discontinue features; or
• •discontinue all or part of the Services.

Rapid Trades does not guarantee permanent availability of a particular feature, provider, metric, scanner, alert type, or data source.

The Services are provided on an "AS AVAILABLE" basis.

Rapid Trades does not promise uninterrupted operation or a specific uptime percentage unless Rapid Trades separately enters into a written service-level agreement expressly providing otherwise.

The Services may be unavailable or degraded during market hours.

Potential causes include:

• •maintenance;
• •software deployments;
• •cyber incidents;
• •vendor outages;
• •exchange outages;
• •data-provider outages;
• •cloud outages;
• •internet failures;
• •unusual market activity;
• •capacity issues;
• •software defects;
• •infrastructure failures; or
• •circumstances beyond Rapid Trades' reasonable control.

Rapid Trades is not obligated to reimburse trading losses resulting from an outage.

Rapid Trades may suspend, restrict, or terminate an account when reasonably necessary because of:

• •material violation of these Terms;
• •nonpayment;
• •fraudulent activity;
• •security concerns;
• •suspected credential compromise;
• •unauthorized account sharing;
• •unauthorized data extraction;
• •market-data licensing requirements;
• •unlawful activity;
• •abuse of trials or promotions;
• •threats to infrastructure;
• •regulatory requirements; or
• •other material misuse of the Services.

Rapid Trades may act immediately when reasonably necessary to prevent fraud, security damage, unlawful activity, unauthorized data distribution, or harm to other users.

Where appropriate, Rapid Trades may instead provide warning or an opportunity to correct the violation.

When your subscription expires or is terminated, your right to use paid Services ends.

Termination does not eliminate:

• •charges already validly incurred;
• •intellectual-property rights;
• •obligations arising from prior misuse;
• •indemnification obligations;
• •limitations of liability;
• •dispute provisions; or
• •other provisions intended by their nature to survive termination.

Rapid Trades' collection and use of personal information is governed by its Privacy Policy.

Rapid Trades may use service providers to assist with:

• •hosting;
• •authentication;
• •payment processing;
• •analytics;
• •customer support;
• •security; and
• •communications.

No online system can guarantee absolute security.

You are responsible for maintaining reasonable security over your own devices and credentials.

The Services may link to third-party websites, filings, articles, news sources, brokerages, exchanges, or other resources.

A link does not constitute an endorsement.

Rapid Trades does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their:

• •availability;
• •content;
• •security;
• •accuracy;
• •privacy practices;
• •products; or
• •services.

Your dealings with third parties are between you and those third parties.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Rapid Trades and its owners, affiliates, officers, employees, contractors, licensors, and service providers from third-party claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and reasonable legal expenses arising from:

• •your unlawful use of the Services;
• •your material breach of these Terms;
• •your violation of another person's rights;
• •your unauthorized redistribution of information;
• •fraudulent activity through your account;
• •content you submit through the Services; or
• •activity you knowingly authorize in violation of these Terms.

You are not required to indemnify Rapid Trades for liabilities that applicable law requires Rapid Trades itself to bear.

You consent to receiving Service-related communications electronically.

These may include:

• •billing notices;
• •subscription notices;
• •security notices;
• •account communications;
• •policy updates;
• •legal disclosures; and
• •operational messages.

Communications may be provided through your Rapid Trades account or the email address associated with your account.

You are responsible for maintaining an accurate email address.

Marketing communications remain subject to applicable consent and opt-out requirements.

Rapid Trades may revise these Terms when reasonably necessary to address:

• •new features;
• •business changes;
• •legal requirements;
• •security issues;
• •data-provider requirements; or
• •other changes to the Services.

The current version will display its effective or last-updated date.

For material changes affecting user rights or obligations, Rapid Trades will provide reasonable notice where required by law.

When legally permitted, continued use of the Services after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of those revised Terms.

If you do not accept revised Terms, you must discontinue use and cancel future subscription renewal.

Before initiating arbitration or litigation, you and Rapid Trades agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally.

The person initiating a dispute must send a written notice containing:

• •full name;
• •Rapid Trades account email;
• •a description of the dispute;
• •relevant facts; and
• •the specific relief requested.

Notices to Rapid Trades must be sent to:

and, once established:

The parties will have at least 30 days after receipt of a complete notice to attempt resolution before initiating arbitration, except where immediate injunctive or emergency relief is reasonably necessary.

Either party may bring an eligible individual dispute in small claims court instead of arbitration.

A claim pursued in small claims court must remain individual and within that court's jurisdiction.

You may opt out of the arbitration agreement without affecting your Rapid Trades account or subscription.

To opt out, you must send notice within 30 days after first accepting these Terms to:

The subject line should state:

The notice must include:

• •your full name;
• •your Rapid Trades account email; and
• •a clear statement that you elect to opt out of the Rapid Trades arbitration agreement.

An arbitration opt-out applies only to the arbitration agreement. All other provisions of these Terms remain effective.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, any claim arising from or relating to the Services or these Terms must be filed within one year after the claimant knew or reasonably should have known of the facts giving rise to the claim.

If applicable law prohibits this contractual limitation for a particular claim, the legally required limitations period applies instead.

Except where federal law or another mandatory law applies, these Terms will be governed by the laws of:

without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

This section will be finalized after Rapid Trades' legal entity and principal operating jurisdiction are established.

For disputes properly proceeding in court rather than arbitration, and where applicable law permits the parties to select venue, exclusive venue will be the appropriate state or federal courts located in:

Mandatory consumer venue rights are not waived where applicable law prohibits such waiver.

Rapid Trades is not responsible for delay, interruption, degradation, or failure caused by circumstances outside its reasonable control.

Examples include:

• •exchange failures;
• •market-data failures;
• •internet outages;
• •cloud outages;
• •power failures;
• •cyberattacks;
• •natural disasters;
• •government actions;
• •wars;
• •terrorism;
• •civil disturbances;
• •labor disruptions;
• •widespread telecommunications failures; or
• •major failures of third-party infrastructure.

You may not transfer your account, subscription, or rights under these Terms without Rapid Trades' written consent.

Rapid Trades may assign these Terms in connection with:

• •a merger;
• •acquisition;
• •financing;
• •corporate reorganization;
• •sale of assets;
• •sale of the business; or
• •transfer of the Services to another entity.

Except where an applicable third-party data agreement expressly provides otherwise, these Terms do not create enforceable rights for persons who are not parties to them.

If a court or arbitrator determines that a provision of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent legally permissible or severed to the minimum extent necessary.

The remaining provisions will remain in effect.

Rapid Trades' failure to enforce a provision does not waive its right to enforce that provision later.

A waiver on one occasion does not constitute a continuing waiver.

These Terms, together with:

• •the Rapid Trades Privacy Policy;
• •checkout disclosures;
• •applicable subscription terms;
• •applicable trial terms;
• •applicable market-data agreements; and
• •any separate written agreement expressly entered into between you and Rapid Trades,

constitute the agreement concerning your use of the Services.

Professional and business users may be subject to separate commercial agreements.

Section headings are provided for organization and convenience.

They do not limit or alter the meaning of the provisions.

Provisions concerning:

• •trading responsibility;
• •intellectual property;
• •data restrictions;
• •account misuse;
• •disclaimers;
• •liability limitations;
• •indemnification;
• •disputes;
• •arbitration;
• •governing law; and
• •obligations that by their nature should survive

will remain effective after termination of your account or subscription.
