2. License; Use of the Services

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with all Applicable Laws, you are hereby granted a limited, revocable, non-assignable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive license to use the Services solely for information purposes and for the purpose of supporting your bona fide trading operations and transacting.

(b) You undertake to use the Services solely for your own benefit for information purposes and for the purpose of bona fide transacting. You may not use the Services to obtain price information unless you are using the Services for bona fide purposes.

(c) Evolution may occasionally make information and data available to you through the Services about various markets, transactions, or services, including Evolution’s own reports and commentaries and reports or presentations prepared by others. You should not view the fact that Evolution makes this information available as its recommendation to you of any particular market, transaction, investment strategy, service, or service provider. This information is not personalized and is in no way tailored to reflect your own circumstances or objectives, and the markets, transactions, or other matters discussed might not be suitable for you. You acknowledge and agree that you are not relying upon any representations or opinions of Evolution to influence your decision to negotiate, enter into, or execute any transaction. Evolution is not acting as a fiduciary or as a financial, legal, tax, investment, trading, or other advisor for you and Evolution has no obligation to determine that any transaction or service is suitable or appropriate for you. None of the Services constitutes an investment recommendation and none of the Services should be relied upon in making any decision to enter into any transaction or pursue any strategy. Nothing in this Agreement or the Services constitutes an offer or a solicitation for the purchase or sale of any security or commodity or the execution of any transaction.

(d) Some of the Services may serve as a price dissemination tool that may also permit you to post indications of interest. It is in your sole discretion to post such indications of interest. No trade related to such pricing or indications of interest shall be executed unless and until execution is confirmed through bilateral communications with an Evolution broker. By contacting an Evolution broker through a Service or by submitting an indication of interest, you authorize Evolution’s brokers to initiate and conduct bilateral communications with you and with other parties (whether or not they use any of the Services) regarding such indications of interest and, if a trade is executed pursuant to such bilateral communications, to submit the resulting trade to the applicable clearing organization(s), if any. All trades are subject to the applicable separate agreements between you and Evolution, including, but not limited to, any brokerage services agreement or give-up agreement. No trade shall be executed unless and until execution is confirmed by an Evolution broker. Evolution functions solely as a broker and is not a party to any trade, and Evolution makes no representations to, and has no ability to bind, any party to a transaction. It is your sole responsibility to conduct a review and diligence of any trade and trading counterparty.

(e) The Services may display pricing information or indications of interest for the purpose of soliciting bids or offers from you and other parties. Such pricing information and indications of interest will not necessarily represent prices at which trades have been made or will be made and will not themselves constitute firm bids or offers.

(f) Evolution has sole discretion and control over, and the right at any time and without notice to you, to temporarily disable, suspend, or permanently modify, remove, or terminate all or any part of any Service’s functionality, configuration, appearance, and content, including, but not limited to, the selection of financial products, transactions, or information displayed on each of the Services and Evolution will not be liable to you or to any third party for doing so.

(g) Each of the Services and the Evo Information are owned by Evolution. Any rights not explicitly granted by Evolution in this Agreement are reserved to Evolution. (h) You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Services (e.g., providing your own equipment and internet connection and paying any Internet access fees).

(b) Any dispute relating in any way to your visit to, or use of, any of the Services (“Claims”) will be exclusively submitted to confidential and binding arbitration in Westchester County, New York, including based on contract, tort (including intentional tort), fraud, agency, your or Evolution’s negligence, statutory or regulatory provisions, or any other sources of law; Claims made as counterclaims, cross-claims, third-party claims, interpleaders, or otherwise; and Claims made independently or with other claims; provided, however, that to the extent that you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate Evolution’s intellectual property rights, Evolution may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court in the State of New York.

The arbitration will follow the procedures and rules of the American Arbitration Association which are in effect on the date the arbitration is filed unless those procedures and rules are inconsistent with this Agreement, in which case this Agreement will prevail. Those procedures and rules may limit the discovery available to you or Evolution. The arbitrator will take reasonable steps to protect your account information and other confidential information if requested to do so by you or Evolution. Each party to the arbitration will bear the expense of that party’s attorneys, experts, witnesses, and other expenses, regardless of which party prevails, but a party may recover any or all expenses from another party if the arbitrator, applying applicable law, so determines. The arbitrator’s award is final and binding on the parties.

(d) YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND THEREFORE YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

(e) You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of any of the Services, any Evo Information, or this Agreement must be filed by you within one (1) year of the date such claim or cause of action arose or it is and shall be forever barred.

(f) Evolution will not choose to arbitrate any Claim you bring in small claims court. However, if such a Claim is determined by the court to be outside its jurisdiction, the parties agree that the dispute shall then be submitted to arbitration.

(g) You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you do so, neither you nor Evolution can force the other to arbitrate as a result of this Agreement. To opt out, you must notify Evolution in writing no later than thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your username (if any), the email address you used to set up your account(s) (if you have any), and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. You must send your opt-out notice to legal@evomarkets.com. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may have entered into with Evolution or may enter into in the future with Evolution. 

(h) This Arbitration Agreement will survive any termination of your relationship with Evolution.

19. Entire Agreement

This Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other communications or representations or agreements (whether oral, written, click-through, or otherwise) relating thereto (but excluding any other written agreement between Evolution and you), and shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable against, any and all of such parties’ successors and permitted assigns.

20. Assignment

In no event shall you assign any of your rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Evolution. Any attempt to assign or purported assignment of this Agreement by you shall be void ab initio.

21. Waiver

(a) Evolution’s failure to require performance of any provision of this Agreement in no manner shall affect its right at a later time to enforce the same.

(b) No waiver by Evolution of any breach of this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any other such breach, or a waiver of any other breach of this Agreement.

22. Severability

If any provision of this Agreement shall to any extent be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby and each such provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. In such case, this Agreement shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to correct any invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability, while preserving to the maximum extent the rights and commercial expectations of the parties hereto, as expressed herein.

23. Construction

Both parties have had full opportunity to review the terms of this Agreement and neither party intends that this Agreement be construed for or against either party because of that party’s role in drafting this Agreement.
