Use of Third Party Service
Providers
XTF offers the opportunity to
utilize certain information, services and products through the web site
www.xtf.com. "Providers" refers to a provider of (i) information; or (ii) tax
preparation, bill payment and account management tools (collectively the
"services"). Information and services may be provided by XTF or by third parties
as Providers.
Providers of information
include any exchange, organization, association or group of persons, including
any electronic communications network, whether incorporate or not, that
maintains or provides a marketplace or such facilities and which performs
functions commonly performed by a stock exchange, and which is required to
disseminate information relating to securities or other financial instruments,
products, vehicles or devices. "Market Data" includes quotations for securities
transactions and/or last sale information for completed securities transactions
reported by Providers in accordance with federal securities regulations, and all
other data based upon any such information.
Each Provider has a proprietary
interest in the market data that originates on or derives from it or its
markets.
Market Data should be used only
for your individual non-business use and should not be provided to any person or
entity. XTF is authorized by, on behalf of, and for the benefit of Providers of
information to take any action, receive any communication or payments, or
provide notifications as required.
If, in their judgment, Providers of information or XTF determine that users of
its web site have misappropriated or misused market data we may terminate your
relationship with XTF and/or discontinue providing market data to you.
The Providers of information
may discontinue disseminating any category of market data, change or eliminate
any transmission method, and/ or change transmission speeds or other signal
characteristics at any time.
Services are provided
exclusively for personal and noncommercial access and use. Other than as
expressly allowed by XTF, users shall not engage in the uploading, posting,
decompiling, reverse engineering, disassembling, modification, copying,
distribution, transmission, reproduction, republication, licensing, display,
sale or the transfer or creation of derivative products or other works of or
from any product, service, information, content, software, message,
advertisement or any other work found at, aggregated at, contained on,
distributed through, linked to or from, downloaded to or from or in any other
manner accessed from the services. With regard to any materials in which XTF
claims a proprietary interest, users may download one copy of such materials on
any single computer for personal noncommercial use, provided they keep intact
all copyright and other proprietary notices.
Any feedback, questions
comments, suggestions, ideas or the like sent to XTF or Providers with regard to
the services or materials will be treated as being non-confidential and
non-proprietary. Providers will also be free to use any ideas, concepts,
know-how or techniques contained in such information for any purpose whatsoever,
including, but not limited to, developing, manufacturing and marketing products
and services incorporating such information.
The services and the materials
are provided on an "as is", "as available" basis, and neither XTF, a Provider,
nor their respective licensors, employees, distributors or agents make any
representations as to the suitability of the services or the materials for any
purpose. XTF, Providers, and their respective licensors, employees, distributors
and agents expressly disclaim any and all warranties, express or implied,
including without limitation, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose, title, non-infringement, availability and accuracy with
respect to the services and the materials. In no event shall XTF, a Provider, or
any of their respective licensors, employees, distributors or agents be liable
for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential damages
of any kind whatsoever with respect to the services or the materials, regardless
of whether or not such parties have been advised of the possibility of such
damages. Because some states prohibit the limitation of liability for
consequential or incidental damages, in such states the limitation of liability
only with respect to consequential or incidental damages may not apply. In such
states, the liability of XTF, a Provider, or their respective licensors,
employees, distributors and agents is limited to the greatest extent allowable
under applicable law. The user will not in any way hold XTF or any Provider
responsible for any selection or retention of, or the acts or omissions of,
third parties (including those contracted to operate various areas of the
services) in connection with the services or the materials.
Any stock or mutual fund price
quotes made available to users by access and use of the services or materials
may be delayed twenty (20) minutes or longer, according to the rules and
regulations applicable to exchanges and/or their applicable provider(s). XTF and
each applicable Provider reserve the right, in their sole discretion, without
any obligation and without any notice requirement, to improve and correct the
services and the materials and suspend and/or deny access to the services and
any of the materials for scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, upgrades,
improvements or corrections.
The user may have access to
online conferences, telecasts or other forums (the "Forums") maintained at or
through the services. By accessing, using or otherwise communicating in any
manner with any third parties through the forums, users will not access or
otherwise use the forums in any unlawful manner for any unlawful purpose or in
violation of this Agreement. Without limitation, users shall refrain from doing
any of the following:
·
Posting, transmitting,
publishing, disseminating, distributing or otherwise communicating any (i)
defamatory, infringing, obscene, indecent, profane, fraudulent, threatening,
abusive, or otherwise objectionable content or information or (ii) any other
content or information which may violate the legal rights of any person,
otherwise constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or
otherwise violate any local, state, federal or foreign law, including without
limitation, the US export controls laws;
·
Advertising, soliciting or
offering to sell, lease, license or otherwise transfer any goods, products or
services (except as otherwise expressly authorized), including, without
limitation, the unauthorized appropriation of any person's name or likeness for
any commercial purposes;
·
Communicating chain letters,
pyramid schemes or other similar arrangements, contests, surveys, investment
opportunities or other unsolicited commercial information or communications
(except as otherwise expressly authorized);
·
Engaging in spamming, flooding
or other mass distribution of any files, programs, communications or any other
information;
·
Uploading or otherwise
communicating any software, programs or other content or information which
contains any corrupted files and/or any virus, worm, Trojan horse, or any other
similar material which may damage, disrupt, interrupt or otherwise harm the
services, the materials, or any other computer or system having access to the
services or materials;
·
Uploading or otherwise
communicating any software, programs or other content or information protected
by any intellectual property laws (unless they own or control the rights thereto
and obtain all necessary consents); or
·
Otherwise exploiting the
services or any materials for pecuniary benefit or any other commercial purposes
except as expressly authorized by the Provider, owner or controller of such
materials.
All communications made at or
through the forums are public. Neither XTF nor any Provider of services screens,
approves, reviews or otherwise endorses any content or information obtained
through or offered by the forums. Reliance on any content or information
obtained through the forums, including any actions resulting therefrom, is at
the sole risk of each user.
