(1) The Unfair Advantage (UA)
software, data and reference manual are copyrighted by Commodity
Systems, Inc. (“CSI”) and are protected by the Copy-right
Laws of the United States and copyright provisions of various
international treaties. Exchange sources for their respective
data contributions may also claim copyright protection. The
effect of copyright laws and treaties is that you may not,
without written permission from CSI and/or the source copyright
holder, copy or distribute the printed reference manual, the
software or the data. You may not modify, adapt, translate,
transfer, transmit, reproduce, publish, publicly display,
publicly perform, license, rent, lease, sell, share, resell,
loan, give away, distribute, network, create derivative works
from, or reverse engineer the software or data or any part
thereof. CSI grants to you (the registered licensee of the
program and data) the right to make one (1) copy of the software
and data for the sole purpose of backing up the system for use
in case of loss or damage. Failure of a licensee to protect
CSI’s copyright interests will result in the revocation of
this license. Users are legally responsible for all secondary
copies and copies of copies of the database and software.
(2) All CSI data held locally on
your computer and transmitted daily is believed to be accurate,
but CSI and its suppliers do not warrant or guarantee such
accuracy. You should consult a broker or authorized financial
advisor or representative to verify market prices before making
trades or other financial decisions. Any and all data errors
reported to or detected by CSI personnel will be researched by
CSI and corrections transmitted to customers on a daily download
basis. Such corrections are made without notice and will affect
data in the resident database held on customer computers.
(3) Some of the data supplied
through UA is provided with the understanding that these
statistics have entered the public domain. Should any exchange
refuse to honor the existence of public domain rights and
require reasonable and affordable redistribution fees, CSI will
cover its obligations to the exchange. CSI will not cover fees
for third party re-vending, reuse or redistribution of the data.
In the event that excessive redistribution fees are imposed upon
CSI, CSI may a) Prorate the added costs to existing users, b)
Limit access to data released by a fee-imposing exchange, or c)
Reduce coverage. CSI will promptly notify the licensee if CSI
learns of a reasonable possibility that the licensee will lose
access to any portion of the CSI data.
(4) The UA software and the
accompanying financial database(s) are temporarily licensed, not
sold, to you for use only under the terms of this License. CSI
reserves the right to remotely or by mail modify software,
tables, market facts, adjustments and user settings and to
change the transmission format and information structure as
deemed appropriate by CSI. CSI also reserves any rights not
expressly granted to you. You own the disk(s) and/or CD-ROM on
which any software or data is recorded, but CSI retains
ownership of all copies of the software and financial data.
CONDITIONS
OF LICENSED USE – (1) For security
and downloading efficiency purposes, customers should download
current data with UA at least once per month. If you fail to
make timely service payments, or if you cannot for any reason
capture updates to the CSI database for a two-month period, you
may be denied access to the database and your license to use the
software and data will be revoked. If your last daily update is
no further distant than two months, you may cure your disabled
software by downloading current data. To resume using the
licensed data after a two-month lapse, you will need to
reinstall the software using a new CD-ROM provided by CSI. A fee
for costs may apply. You may make one successful access per day.

list at the inception of continuous service. A futures market
is defined as a specific commodity or other similar tradable

gold. Personal and private use of UA requires that all
software and data be available only to the subscriber in a
non-shared UA database environment.

materials and workmanship for 90 days from the date of purchase.
