General Rules
You promise to follow these rules:

-
As a non-commercial account holder you won’t take markets and content available to you as a paid or non paid member and disseminate that information to a third party for financial gain, or to circumvent our membership process.
In other words if your mates down the pub are too tight to purchase a paid account, but want you to tell them our exclusive markets and tips, you will kindly advise them to stop being freeloaders and purchase their own accounts.
If you violate any of these rules, then we may suspend or terminate your account.

Our total liability for all claims made about the Service in any month will be no more than what you paid us for the Service the month before.

-
No Changes in Terms at Request of Member
We can’t change these Terms for any one Member or group. If we did that, keeping up with the changes would be a logistical nightmare. So no changes, no exceptions.
-

You’ll provide all documents and take any actions necessary to meet your obligations under these Terms.
-
Entire Agreement
These Terms, our Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, (all of which are incorporated into these Terms by reference), and any Additional Terms you’ve agreed to make up the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings.
