IMPORTANT NOTICES AND DISCLAIMERS

This subscription agreement (“Agreement”) is made by and between AlphaShark Trading (“AlphaShark Trading”) and you (“Subscriber”).  Subscriber must accept this Agreement in its entirety as a condition to receiving the subscribed for Service (as defined below). As of the date you subscribe for and enroll in the Service, the parties agree as follows:  

Agreement

AlphaShark Trading and OptionHacker  agrees to provide a Service to Subscriber, for which Subscriber agrees to pay in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement.  Subscriber acknowledges and accepts the risk disclaimers and the terms of use detailed in this Agreement, and as applicable to the AlphaShark Trading website and related services.  Subscriber’s access to the Service will be granted upon AlphaShark Trading’s receipt of the subscription fee.

The term “Service” means the Silver, Gold, or Platinum subscription service for which Subscriber has subscribed, as the case may be, and determined in accordance with the terms hereof. The Service includes all corresponding services, access, offers, or products that apply to that particular subscription type. 

Terms of Use of our Websites and Technology

Subscriber agrees to pay the subscription fee for the Service, billed either at the listed price currently in effect or at a previously approved and agreed upon pricing. Subscriber is obligated to authorize monthly credit card payments or an AlphaShark Trading-approved alternative payment method for the Service. AlphaShark Trading reserves the right to suspend access to the Service in the event of Subscriber’s failure to authorize payment and will restore access once payment is authorized and received.

Information disseminated through the Service or contained in AlphaShark Trading’s website is intended solely for the convenience of its subscribers. While AlphaShark Trading strives for accuracy, it does not provide express or implied warranties or representations about the reliability, completeness, or accuracy of the information. However, AlphaShark Trading shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, resulting from the use or inability to use any such information, provided such loss or damage is not due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of AlphaShark Trading.

Non-Compete

Subscribers agree not to promote or endorse, directly or indirectly, any trading rooms or alert services to fellow members. Any such action may lead to immediate suspension of the Service and a restriction from purchasing future products. The terms “promote or endorse” include but are not limited to, distributing marketing materials, sending emails, or any other form of communication that can be reasonably interpreted as advertising or endorsing competing services.

Should Subscriber agree to assist AlphaShark Trading in any capacity (i.e., as an unpaid trading room moderator, in the production of educational materials, etc.), Subscriber agrees to not solicit or pursue other subscribers’ business for other trading rooms, newsletter services, or other trading-related products or services for a period of one (1) year following the termination of their assistance. In the event a moderator or Subscriber breaches this Agreement, they shall pay AlphaShark Trading an amount that fairly and reasonably corresponds to the actual damages suffered by AlphaShark Trading, as determined through negotiation or legal process, but in no case less than any damages resulting from the loss of economic opportunity. AlphaShark Trading reserves the right to investigate any alleged breach of this clause and to take appropriate action in response to any verified breach, in which case Subscriber shall use best efforts to comply with any requests made by Alpha Shark in connection with any such investigation or inquiry.

Disclosures

AlphaShark Trading, its principals, officers, and employees are not registered as investment advisers or commodity trading advisors and do not function in such roles.  The Service may generate trading alerts, but these should not be considered investment advice or a source of real-time data, quote feed or charting program. These alerts should not form the sole basis for investment decisions.

Performance data supplied or accessible through the Service can be presented as either historical data or real-time data. Historical data includes past trade information (such as quantity and price), current trade information (like expected profit or loss), and trade forecasts. Real-time data involves the trade information as it occurs daily. Please note that performance data may change unpredictably due to factors like updates to market data, system code alterations, changes in the minimum investment amount, variations in commissions, or slippage estimates. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Alpha Shark does not warrant or guarantee the accuracy or reliability of any such information and that use of the Service is solely at Subscriber’s own risk.

Investors’ gains or losses will differ based on several factors. These factors may include order entry timing, execution, market forces, the use of all trading alerts, trade duration, money management, and risk techniques. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Alpha Shark does not warrant or guarantee any result in connection with the use of the Service and that use of the Service is solely at Subscriber’s own risk.

In light of the fact that the Service may present hypothetical performance results, please be advised that:

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SERVICE  MAY PRESENT HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS WHICH INHERENTLY HAVE MANY LIMITATIONS. IMPORTANTLY, NO GUARANTEES ARE BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS OFTEN DIFFER SHARPLY FROM ACTUAL RESULTS ACHIEVED BY A SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM. THIS IS BECAUSE HYPOTHETICAL RESULTS ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH HINDSIGHT, AND THEY DO NOT ACCOUNT FOR FINANCIAL RISKS INVOLVED IN ACTUAL TRADING. THE ABILITY TO ABSORB LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM DESPITE THESE LOSSES CAN SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE ADDITIONAL FACTORS RELATED TO MARKET CONDITIONS AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A SPECIFIC T RADING PROGRAM WHICH CAN ALSO NEGATIVELY AFFECT TRADING RESULTS.

Trading involves substantial risk of loss and may lead to a total loss of your funds. It is not suitable for everyone. As a Subscriber, you should carefully consider your financial condition before trading, and only trade with risk capital, i.e., money you can afford to lose. AlphaShark Trading does not provide personalized trading advice and has no financial interest in the outcome of any Subscriber’s trades. It is the Subscriber’s responsibility to assess their suitability to trade, and AlphaShark Trading accepts no liability for any losses incurred.  

There is potential for both reward and substantial risk of loss when trading financial products including, but not limited to, futures, options on futures, equities, and equity options.  Past performance should not be taken as indicative of future trading results, and trading results can never be guaranteed.  Day trading is high-risk and speculative. It requires careful consideration of your individual risk tolerance and financial circumstances and may not be suitable for all subscribers.

Third-Party Services and Links

In addition to providing Subscriber the Service and other AlphaShark Trading products, AlphaShark Trading may offer access to or contain links to third-party websites and services (collectively, “third-party services”) that are developed, owned, and operated by unaffiliated third-parties. These services may be utilized to research, buy, or sell financial products.  AlphaShark Trading disclaims any responsibility for the content, services, and actions or omissions of such third-party services provided to or utilized by Subscriber.  The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by AlphaShark Trading.  Subscriber’s use or access of third-party services is solely at Subscriber’s own risk.  Any reference to any third-party service by AlphaShark Trading does not constitute an express or implied endorsement by AlphaShark Trading. 

AlphaShark Trading does not assume any responsibility for, or make any representations, guarantees, or warranties whatsoever, express or implied, as to the accuracy, suitability, profitability, reliability, or appropriateness of the contents of any third-party services. Subscriber agrees to hold AlphaShark Trading harmless and agrees that AlphaShark Trading shall not be liable for any issues that may arise from the use of such third-party services.

You acknowledge and agree that while access to third-party services is regulated by this Agreement, it may also be governed by additional terms, conditions, or agreements of such third-parties or other policies governing these third-party services. It remains your responsibility to familiarize yourself with and understand the terms, conditions, and policies of such third-party services before use. All questions and concerns related to these third-party services should be directed to the respective third-party service provider.
