BY SUBSCRIBING TO, ACCESSING OR USING THE QUANT PACK OR ANY OF THE OTHER SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO COMPLY WITH THESE TERMS OF USE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS THE QUANT PACK OR OTHERWISE USE ANY SERVICES.

​

This subscription agreement (the “Agreement”) is a contract between the user of the Service (as defined below) (the “Subscriber”) and MarketDesk Research LLC (“MDR”), a Missouri limited liability company. The terms “us”, “we”, or “our” refer to MarketDesk Research LLC. The terms “you” and “your” refer to the Subscriber.

​

1.  Service; Subscriber’s Acknowledgment and Acceptance of Terms.

1.1  Our Service. MDR provides the following services, products and content to our Subscribers: (i) our weekly newsletter known as “The Quant Pack” that is delivered via email and covers global macroeconomic and market trends (the “Quant Pack”), and (ii) our website located at quantpack.com (the “Site”). The term “Service” includes, but is not limited to, the text, reports, graphics, and charts produced by MDR and appearing in the Quant Pack and other reports as may be released from time to time. MDR reserves the right to change, with or without notice to Subscriber, the: (i) prices of any products or subscriptions provided by the Service and (ii) the subject matter and frequency of the Service. MDR shall not be liable to Subscriber or any third party should MDR exercise such right.

​

1.2  Scope. The Service is not intended for broad consumption. To get the most out of the Quant Pack, Subscribers must possess at least some understanding of economics and financial markets. While we make every effort to provide links to supplemental reading materials, a great deal of what we present and discuss may be difficult to follow for novice readers with limited prior knowledge of the topics, concepts, and jargon and acronyms used. Samples are available on the Site.

The Quant Pack contains quantitative indicators (the “Indicators”) to aid Subscribers in forecasting economic and financial market trends. The Indicators are intended to forecast future trends by incorporating recent macro data and other inputs and projecting the data forward in a systematic and pre-determined manner based on historical, statistical relationships. The Indicators are not built to predict economic and financial market trends to the exact decimal point and should not be relied on as such. You acknowledge that historical relationships between the variable an Indicator forecasts and the inputs it uses may change, which can prevent the Indicators from accurately forecasting future trends. You agree that MDR will not be liable for actual trends that differ materially from the Indicators’ forecasts, including, without limitation, due to the emergence of unforeseeable economic and financial market events. Charts included in the Quant Pack are for illustration purposes only and may not fully capture the extent and scope of economic and market movements and trends. 

 

1.3  Use of the Service. MDR provides the Service subject to Subscriber’s compliance with, and agreement to, all the terms, conditions, policies and notices contained or referenced herein (these “Terms of Use”), as well as any other written or electronic agreement between MDR and a particular Subscriber. You hereby agree to comply with all of the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use. In addition, when using the Service, Subscribers shall be subject to any posted guidelines, rules or documentation (if any) applicable to such services or materials that may contain terms and conditions in addition to those in these Terms of Use. All such guidelines, rules or documentation are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms of Use. By accessing, receiving or using the Service, or otherwise accessing content and/or registering with us, including by clicking “I AGREE” to these terms if presented to you, you signify that you have read, understand and agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Use, including our privacy policy and all related addendums, notices and policies, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not wish to be bound by these Terms of Use, please exit and cease all use of the services now.

​

1.4  Effective Date; Right to Modify; Binding Effect of Continued Use. These Terms of Use are effective as of the date that you first visit the Site, register with us to receive the Quant Pack, or otherwise first access the Service. MDR reserves the right to change these Terms of Use from time to time without notice to Subscribers and any modifications or changes to these Terms of Use shall be effective upon such modification or amendment being posted to the Site. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it is Subscriber’s responsibility to review these Terms of Use periodically and to be aware of any modifications. Subscriber’s continued use of the Service after such modifications will constitute Subscriber’s acknowledgement of the modified Terms of Use and agreement to abide and be bound by the modified Terms of Use.

​

2. Subscription Term; Renewal; No Earl Termination

​

2.1 Term. The subscription period (the “Subscription Term”) shall start on the date Subscriber pays for the Service and continue for one (1) year and any Renewal Terms (each, an “Expiration Date”).

 

2.2 Renewal. The subscription will automatically renew for the subscription period you originally signed up for until you notify us of your decision to terminate your subscription. You agree that your subscription will be billed automatically at the beginning of each renewal period at the current pricing level listed on the subscription page at the time of your renewal, undiscounted subscription rate to the credit card or billing information you used in your most recent transaction with us. You must notify us of your intent to cancel the subscription in writing by email no less than fifteen (15) days in advance of the end of the Subscription Term. If you decide not to renew, you may send the notice of non-renewal by email to: Support@QuantPack.com. 

 

2.3 No Early Termination; No Refund. All paid subscriptions are final and non-refundable. The Subscription Term will end on the Expiration Date and the subscription cannot be cancelled early. MDR does not provide refunds if you decide to stop using the subscription during your Subscription Term, and there is no refund for actual economic and financial market trends differing materially from the Indicators’ forecasts.

 

3. Fees and Payment; Suspension. 

 

3.1 Payment and Authorization. If you elect to purchase or subscribe to the Service, a valid credit card will be required for paying accounts and Services will be billed in advance in accordance with the applicable pricing schedule. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of paid Services. You agree to be billed for the subscription term you originally signed up for or at such other installments as mutually agreed, and grant us the right to charge your credit card (or otherwise facilitate payment) with the payment information you provide us, including on a recurring basis. You will reimburse us for any fees that we may be charged related to declined payments, and you will keep us informed of all changes to your billing information. You will need to provide us with your name, email address, billing address, and credit card information. You certify that all information you provide is accurate. You also agree to update your information as necessary so that it is accurate and current. All payments made to MDR are made through a third-party service. We are not liable for any monies lost during the transaction process, non-payment issues or declination of any credit card.

​

3.2 Suspension for Non-Payment. MDR will provide you with notice of non-payment of any amount due. Unless the full amount has been paid, we may suspend your access to the subscription ten (10) days after such notice.

5.2 Additional Disclaimer – USE AT YOUR OWN RISK . The Service provides Subscribers with access to the Quant Pack and content covering economic and market trends. MDR relies on the publisher exemption and is not a registered investment advisor, and nothing in our Service is intended, and it should not be construed, to be investment, business or tax advice. The information is not intended to be used as the primary basis of investment decisions, and because of individual client objectives, should not be construed as advice designed to meet the particular investment needs of any investor.

Subscriber should verify all claims and do its own research before investing in any investments referenced in the Service. Investing in securities and other investments, such as options and futures, carries a high degree of risk and Subscriber may lose money trading and investing in such investments.

You also agree that MDR, its directors, employees, and its agents will not be liable for any investment decision or action taken by you and others based on news, information, opinion, or any other material published in the Service.

Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity may be grounds for terminating Subscriber’s relationship and may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Upon termination or suspension, regardless of the reasons therefore, Subscriber’s right to access and use the Service immediately ceases, and Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that MDR may immediately deactivate or delete Subscriber’s account (if applicable) and all related information and files in Subscriber’s account and/or bar any further access to such files.
