3.Ownership of Information; License to Use OxfordTrades; Redistribution of Data; Non-Display Usage

Unless otherwise noted, all rights, titles, and interests in OxfordTrades, and all information made available through OxfordTrades or our services, in all languages, formats, and media throughout the world, including, but not limited to, all copyrights and trademarks therein, are the exclusive property of OxfordTrades, our affiliates or our Data Providers, as defined in section 6 (disclaimer regarding content) below.

All rights, titles, and interests in and to any data or/and other information provided by Interactive Data (IDCO), and all such data/information made available by Interactive Data (IDCO) through OxfordTrades or our services, in all languages, formats and media throughout the world, including all copyrights and trademarks therein, are the property of Interactive Data (IDCO), our affiliates or our Data Providers (as applicable).

The content and market data provided on the OxfordTrades platform, including but not limited to charts, alerts, webhooks, and any other forms of information, are licensed for exclusive display-only use. This license is strictly limited to personal or internal business purposes and explicitly prohibits any form of non-display usage. Such prohibited uses include, but are not limited to, any form of automated trading, automated order generation, price referencing, order verification, algorithmic decision-making, algorithmic trading, smart order routing, using data in operations control or risk management programs, or any machine-driven processes that do not involve the direct, human-readable display of such data. Such prohibited cases also include creating products or services based on OxfordTrades content, any processing of OxfordTrades's content, or any other use cases that undermine the restrictions in place by the Data Providers.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we expressly forbid direct non-display usage by our users, as well as the development, offering, or utilization of any third-party products, tools, or services designed to facilitate or enable such non-display usage of OxfordTrades's content and market data. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby explicitly prohibited for any third party to create, offer, or operate any product or service that:

  • Utilizes, repurposes, or relies upon OxfordTrades's market data, including but not limited to charts, alerts, webhooks, and any forms of information provided by OxfordTrades, for any form of automated trading, algorithmic decision-making, or any other non-display purposes.
  • Facilitates, enables, or encourages OxfordTrades users or any other parties to engage in activities that would constitute a breach of this policy, including but not limited to automated order generation, price referencing, order verification, smart order routing, or the use of OxfordTrades data in operations control, risk management programs, or any machine-driven processes excluding direct, human-readable display.
  • Claims compatibility with, or advertises the use of, OxfordTrades's features (such as webhooks) for purposes that are explicitly prohibited by OxfordTrades's terms, thereby indirectly contributing to violations of OxfordTrades's usage restrictions.

This policy applies equally to all entities, irrespective of whether they are direct users of OxfordTrades's services or third-party service providers. The provision of features by OxfordTrades, such as webhooks, is intended solely for permissible uses within the scope of display and personal or internal business purposes, as originally defined. Any interpretation, adaptation, or exploitation of these features that contravenes the spirit or letter of this policy is strictly forbidden. Any attempt by a third-party provider to claim non-usage of OxfordTrades's services as a defense for facilitating prohibited uses of OxfordTrades's data is hereby declared null and void. The obligations and restrictions contained in this policy apply equally to OxfordTrades's direct users and to any third-party entities that provide services or products that interact with, or make use of, OxfordTrades's data, irrespective of their direct engagement with the OxfordTrades platform.

Except as otherwise expressly permitted, our agreements with Data Providers strictly forbid the sublicensing, assigning, transferring, selling, loaning, or any distribution of OxfordTrades content, including market data, for any form of compensation. In addition, you shall not, without the prior expressed written consent of OxfordTrades and the relevant Data Providers, make copies of any of the software or documentation that may be provided, electronically or otherwise, including, but not limited to, translating, decompiling, disassembling or creating derivative works.

Except as otherwise expressly permitted by separate agreement, we do not permit commercial usage of any of our services or APIs. We make no warranty and assume no obligation or liability for third party services or software. Please see section 21 (third-party software) below for further information.

OxfordTrades reserves the right to take any and all necessary actions, including legal measures, to ensure compliance with these terms, protect its intellectual property, and maintain the integrity of its services. This encompasses conducting audits or investigations into suspected violations, as well as initiating legal proceedings against any parties — whether users or third-party providers — found to be in breach of these terms. Consequences of such breaches include, but are not limited to, the blocking of the user or visitor, termination of their account, and potential legal penalties. OxfordTrades may terminate access to its services, seek injunctive relief, and demand damages to safeguard its contractual rights and the interests of its data providers and user community.

4.Attribution

OxfordTrades grants all users of www.oxfordtrades.com, and all other available versions of the site, the ability to use snapshots of OxfordTrades charts in analysis, press releases, books, articles, blog posts and other publications. In addition, OxfordTrades grants the use of all previously mentioned materials in education sessions, the display of OxfordTrades charts during video broadcasts, which includes overviews, news, analytics and otherwise use or promote OxfordTrades charts or any products from the OxfordTrades website on the condition that OxfordTrades attribution is clearly visible at all times when such charts and products are used.

Attribution must include a reference to OxfordTrades, including, but not limited to, the use cases described herein.

Use of OxfordTrades charts during video or other promotions where OxfordTrades attribution is not visible, must include a description of the product used therein. For instance: "Charting platform used for this analysis is provided by OxfordTrades," or simply "Charts by OxfordTrades." Font size should not be less than 10 PT = 13PX = 3.4MM.

You can use the "Snapshot" button in the top toolbar of the chart to instantly create a picture file of your current chart. OxfordTrades will automatically take a snapshot with all required attributions and provide a link where you can view your chart, download it or share it. The use of any OxfordTrades products outside the OxfordTrades website, without a proper attribution of OxfordTrades, is not allowed. This extends to any tools (such as widgets) obtained on the OxfordTrades website and utilized on the outside resources, where attribution should remain as was originally designed and intended. Users who disobey this attribution rule herein may be banned permanently, and other legal actions may be taken to ensure compliance. This includes, but is not limited to, cease-and-desist warnings, court orders, injunctions, fines, damages relief, and so on.

5.Third-Party Sites and Advertisers

OxfordTrades may include links to third-party websites. Some of these sites may contain materials that are objectionable, unlawful, or inaccurate. You agree that OxfordTrades shall not be held liable for any trading activities or other activities that occur on any website you access through links on OxfordTrades. We provide these links as a convenience, and do not endorse the content or services offered by these other sites. Any dealings that you have with advertisers found on OxfordTrades are between you and the advertiser and you acknowledge and agree that we are not liable for any loss or claim you may have against an advertiser.

Unauthorized soliciting on OxfordTrades is strictly prohibited and may result in penalties, including, but not limited to, temporary or permanent bans of the account found in violation, and any appropriate and available legal action for monetary and other damages.

6.Disclaimer of Warranties

OXFORDTRADES WEBSITE AND SERVICES AND ALL INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS AND PRODUCTS INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THIS WEBSITE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY OXFORDTRADES ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. OXFORDTRADES MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THAT ANY OF THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR SERVICES OR ON OXFORDTRADES IS ACCURATE, RELIABLE, CURRENT, COMPLETE OR APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR NEEDS.

OXFORDTRADES DOES NOT GUARANTEE, REPRESENT, OR WARRANT THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, AND YOU AGREE THAT FROM TIME TO TIME OXFORDTRADES MAY REMOVE THE SERVICE FOR INDEFINITE PERIODS OF TIME, OR CANCEL THE SERVICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS TERMS OF USE. OXFORDTRADES DOES NOT REPRESENT OR GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE FREE FROM LOSS, CORRUPTION, ATTACK, VIRUSES, INTERFERENCE, HACKING, OR OTHER SECURITY INTRUSION, AND OXFORDTRADES DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY RELATING THERETO. ANY MATERIAL DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICE IS ACCESSED AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS THAT RESULTS FROM THE DOWNLOAD OR USE OF ANY SUCH MATERIAL.

Various information available through our services or on OxfordTrades may be specially obtained by OxfordTrades from professional businesses or organizations, such as exchanges, news providers, market data providers and other content providers (including established financial exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ and Chicago Mercantile Exchange), who are believed to be sources of reliable information (collectively, the "Data Providers"). Nevertheless, due to various factors — including the inherent possibility of human and mechanical error — the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, results obtained from use, and correct sequencing of information available through our services and website are not and cannot be guaranteed by OxfordTrades. Similarly, we make no warranty and assume no obligation or liability for scripts, indicators, ideas, and other third-party content. Your use of any third-party scripts, indicators, ideas and other content is at your sole risk.

7.Disclaimer Regarding Investment Decisions and Trading

Decisions to buy, sell, hold or trade in securities, commodities and other investments involve risk and are best made based on the advice of qualified financial professionals. Any trading in securities or other investments involves a risk of substantial losses. The practice of "Day Trading" involves particularly high risks and can cause you to lose substantial sums of money. Before undertaking any trading program, you should consult a qualified financial professional. Please consider carefully whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition and ability to bear financial risks. Under no circumstances shall we be liable for any loss or damage you or anyone else incurs as a result of any trading or investment activity that you or anyone else engages in based on any information or material you receive through OxfordTrades or our services.

8.Disclaimer Regarding Hypothetical Performance Results

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are mentioned below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.

One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of the trading losses are material points, which can also adversely affect trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the market in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

9.Registered Users

Certain services, such as saving charts, publishing them, or the ability to comment on published charts, are available only to registered users of the OxfordTrades website and require you to sign in with a username and password to use them. If you register as a user (a "Subscriber") of any of the features of OxfordTrades, during the registration process you may be prompted to click "Register Now", "Submit" or a similar button; your clicking on such button will further confirm your agreement to be legally bound by these Terms of Use.
