You are responsible for all taxes, duties, and other governmental assessments associated with your activity in connection with the Service, whether or not you choose to purchase any Paid Products or Services from Autopilot.
While you may cancel any Paid Products or Services at any time, you won’t be issued a refund except in our sole discretion, or if legally required.
Autopilot reserves the right to cancel your subscription for Paid Products or Services at any time for any reason or no reason. If we cancel your subscription for any reason other than your failure to pay or breach of these Terms (or any other terms you have agreed to with Autopilot) you will receive a pro-rated refund of the fees you pre-paid, if any. Your refund will consist of all pre-paid fees for each complete month remaining in your Subscription Period.
7. App or Site Content
The Services are also a platform for third parties to publish their own investment blogs and products (“Products”). The creators of the Products (“Creators”) may hold long or short positions in or derivatives of companies named in the Products and are free to buy or sell those positions at will. The Creators may take positions inconsistent with the views expressed in their Products or Content. Products available on the Autopilot platform contain the Creators’ own opinions (and not those of the Company), and none of the information contained therein constitutes a recommendation that any particular security, portfolio of securities, transaction, or investment strategy is suitable for any specific person.

9. Copyright Complaints
We respect the intellectual property rights of others and we prohibit Users from posting or otherwise transmitting on the Service any materials that violate another party’s intellectual property rights.

In consideration for Autopilot granting you access to and use of the Service, you agree that Autopilot and its third party providers and partners may place such advertising on the Service or in connection with the display of Content or information from the Service whether submitted by you or others. Third party advertisers and sponsors are responsible for ensuring that material submitted for inclusion in advertisements on the Service is accurate and complies with applicable laws.

12. Account Information from Third Party Sites
Users may direct Autopilot to retrieve their own information maintained by third-parties with which they have customer relationships, maintain accounts or engage in financial transactions (“Account Information”). By submitting information, data, passwords, usernames, PINs, other log-in information, materials and other content to Autopilot through the Service, you are granting Autopilot a right to use such information and content for the purpose of providing the Service. Autopilot may use and store the content in accordance with this Agreement and our Privacy Policy. You represent and warrant that you are entitled to submit it to Autopilot for use for this purpose, without any obligation by Autopilot to pay any fees or be subject to any restrictions or limitations, including any contained in the third party’s terms of service. Autopilot works with third parties to access your Account Information. Autopilot makes no effort to review the Account Information for any purpose, including but not limited to accuracy, legality or non-infringement. By using the Service, you expressly authorize Autopilot to access and store your Account Information maintained by identified third parties, on your behalf as your agent.
For instance, when you use the trading features of the Service, you will be directly connected to, and you will be connecting your brokerage accounts to, your broker dealer’s website and/or application program interfaces through the Service. Autopilot will submit information including usernames and passwords that you provide to log into the broker dealer website or service (or any similar Third-Party Services) to access your Account Information, and Autopilot will store information relating to, among other things, your Registration Data, portfolio holdings, watch lists and transaction history to, among other things, facilitate your use of the Service.
You hereby authorize and permit Autopilot to use and store information submitted by you to accomplish the foregoing and to configure the Service so that it is compatible with the third party sites for which you submit your information. For purposes of this Agreement and solely to provide the Service to you, you grant us a limited power of attorney, and appoint us as your attorney-in-fact and agent, to access third party sites, retrieve and use your information with the full power and authority to do and perform each thing necessary in connection with such activities, as you could do in person.
You acknowledge and agree that when Autopilot is accessing and retrieving account information from third party sites, Autopilot is acting as your agent, and not as the agent of or on behalf of the third party that operates the third party site.
Autopilot does not review the Account Information for accuracy, legality or non-infringement, and is not responsible for the Account Information or products and services offered by or on third-party sites. Autopilot is not responsible for any processing errors or fees or other Service-related issues, including those issues that may arise from inaccurate account information. With respect to the use of third-party products in conjunction with the Service, Autopilot cannot always foresee or anticipate technical or other difficulties which may result in failure to obtain data or loss of data, personalization settings or other service interruptions. Autopilot does not assume any liability for the timeliness, accuracy, deletion, non-delivery or failure to store any user data, communications or personalization settings. For example, when displayed through the Services, Account Information is only as fresh as the time shown, which reflects when the information is obtained from such sites. Such information may be more up-to-date when obtained directly from the relevant sites. You agree to indemnify Autopilot for any losses, costs, expenses or damages incurred by Autopilot due to your use of third-party products or services, including any violation of a third party’s Terms of Service or other agreement relating to such products or services.

15. Securities Disclaimer
Autopilot Holdings Corporation is not a tax advisor, broker, financial advisor or investment advisor nor is any “pilot” on the platform unless noted otherwise. Investment advisory services are provided solely by Autopilot Advisers, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser. Any “creators” on the platform are operating as supervised persons of Autopilot Advisers, LLC.
Trading in securities can result in immediate and substantial losses of the capital invested. You should only invest risk capital, and not capital required for other purposes. You alone are solely responsible for determining whether any investment, security or strategy, or any other product or service, is appropriate or suitable for you based on your investment objectives and personal and financial situation. You should also consult an attorney or tax professional regarding your specific legal or tax situation.
Autopilot, its affiliates and partners specifically disclaim any and all liability or loss arising out of any action taken in reliance on Content, including but not limited to market value or other loss on the sale or purchase of any company, property, product, service, security, instrument, or any other matter.
You understand that an investment in any security is subject to a number of risks, and that discussions of any security published on the Service will not contain a list or description of relevant risk factors. In addition, please note that some of the stocks about which Content is published on the Service have a low market capitalization and/or insufficient public float. Such stocks are subject to more risk than stocks of larger companies, including greater volatility, lower liquidity and less publicly available information.
16. Brokerage Account/Transactions
Brokerage Account. In order to use certain features of the Services, including authorizing Transactions (as defined below), Members must have an active account with a Third-Party Broker/Exchange (a “Brokerage Account”). Your Brokerage Account is subject to a separate agreement directly between you and the applicable Third-Party Broker. Under no circumstances will we have any liability for your Brokerage Account. You further acknowledge that we have no control over Third-Party Brokers/Exchanges and that you may be charged fees by the Third-Party Broker/Exchange. We are not responsible for any Third-Party Broker/Exchange fees. You are solely responsible for your use of the Third-Party Brokers/Exchanges’ services, and you agree to comply with all terms and conditions applicable to such services as required by the applicable Third-Party.
Transactions.
The Services allow Members to purchase and sell certain Investments through their Brokerage Account (each, a “Transaction”). To enable you to make Transactions through the Services, you will be required to link your Brokerage Account to the Services. Autopilot processes Transaction requests according to the instructions it receives from you. By initiating a Transaction on the Services, you hereby authorize Autopilot to communicate with the applicable Third-Party Broker/Exchange on your behalf and to send a message of the Transaction through to your Brokerage Account. Acceptance and execution of any Transaction is in the sole control and discretion of your Third-Party Broker/Exchange. Once a Transaction has been completed, the Investments will be placed in (or removed from) your Brokerage Account, and will be reflected in your Services account.
Autopilot does not collect any funds, execute any Transactions, or otherwise act as a broker-dealer or cryptocurrency exchange, money transmitter, money services business, bank account, brokerage account, or other financial account. Autopilot merely communicates your purchase authorizations to Third-Party Broker/Exchange that complete the Transactions on your behalf. Although you may be able to find information about investment opportunities through the Services, we are not a party to any Transaction regarding any such opportunity. We strongly recommend that in connection with each Transaction, Members conduct their own due diligence. All messages sent using the Services are self-directed by you to your Third-Party Broker/Exchange . All orders are executed by Third-Party Brokers/Exchanges where Members have an existing account, and Autopilot is not responsible for the order routing or execution of any transaction. Any confirmations of such Transactions will be issued solely by the Member’s Third-Party Broker/Exchange. Members are solely responsible for any and all orders placed by them, and understand that all orders are unsolicited and based on their own investment decisions. Except for investment advisory services provided by Autopilot Advisers, LLC, Autopilot AND ITS AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, PRINCIPALS, OR REPRESENTATIVES DO NOT PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS OF ANY TRANSACTION OR ORDER, PROVIDE INVESTMENT ADVICE, ENDORSE ANY INVESTMENTS, PRODUCE OR PROVIDE RESEARCH TO ANY USER REGARDING ANY INVESTMENT, TRANSACTION OR ORDER, OR EXECUTE ANY TRANSACTIONS.
17. Other Disclaimers
The Service may be temporarily unavailable from time to time for maintenance or other reasons. The Company assumes no responsibility for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, communications line failure, theft or destruction or unauthorized access to, or alteration of, User Content. The Company is not responsible for any technical malfunction or other problems of any telephone network or service, computer systems, servers or providers, computer or mobile phone equipment, or software on account of technical problems or traffic congestion on the Internet or at any site or with respect to the Service or combination thereof, including injury or damage to User’s or to any other person’s computer, mobile phone, or other hardware or software, related to or resulting from using or downloading Content in connection with the Web and/or in connection with the Service. Under no circumstances will the Company be responsible for any loss or damage, including any loss or damage to any User Content or personal injury or death, resulting from anyone’s use of the Service or any posted on or through the Service or transmitted to or by Users, or any interactions between Users, whether online or offline.
The Service may provide information from or links to certain brokerage companies for your convenience only. Autopilot is not a registered broker-dealer and does not endorse or recommend the services of any brokerage company. The brokerage company you select (and not Autopilot) is solely responsible for its services to you.
Autopilot, its affiliates, and partners shall not be liable for any damages or costs of any type arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the services of any brokerage company.
The service and the content are provided “as-is” and the company, its partners and affiliates, disclaim any and all representations and warranties, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. The company cannot guarantee and does not promise any specific results from use of the service. The company does not represent or warrant that software, content or materials on the service or elsewhere are accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free or that the service or any of the servers used to operate the service are free of viruses or other harmful components. Therefore, you should exercise caution in the use and downloading of any content or materials and use industry-recognized software to detect and disinfect viruses. Without limiting the foregoing, you understand and agree that you download or otherwise obtain content, data or other material from or through the service at your own discretion and risk and that you will be solely responsible for your use thereof and any damages to your mobile device or computer system, loss of data or other harm of any kind that may result.
For the avoidance of doubt, the company does not disclaim warranties for intentional breach of duty. The warranty disclaimer does not affect the limitation of liability as set out below.
Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, the forgoing disclaimer may, in whole or in part, not apply to you.
We do not and cannot control the flow of data to or from our network and other portions of the internet, wireless networks, or other third-party networks. Such flow depends in large part on the performance of the internet and wireless services provided or controlled by third parties. At times, actions or inactions of such third parties may impair or disrupt your connections to the internet, wireless services, or portions thereof. We cannot guarantee that such events will not occur. Accordingly, we disclaim any and all liability resulting from or related to third-party actions or inactions that impair or disrupt your connections to the internet, wireless services, or portions thereof or the use of the service.
The Company reserves the right to change any and all Content, software and other items used or contained in the Service at any time without notice. Reference to any products, services, processes or other information, by trade name, trademark, manufacturer, and supplier or otherwise does not constitute or imply endorsement, sponsorship or recommendation thereof, or any affiliation therewith, by the Company.
18. Limitation on Liability
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the liability of the company and its affiliates, partners, members, managers, directors, officers, employees and agents to you for any cause whatsoever, and regardless of the form of the action, will at all times be limited to the amount paid, if any, by you to the company for the service in the immediately preceding six months. In no event will the company, its affiliates, partners, members, managers, directors, officers, employees or agents be liable to you or any third person for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special or punitive damages, including for any lost profits or lost data arising from your use of the service, or any of the content or other materials on, accessed through or downloaded from the service, even if the company or its affiliates, partners, members, managers, directors, officers, employees or agents is aware or has been advised of the possibility of such damages. You acknowledge that if no fees are paid to the company for the service, you shall be limited to injunctive relief only, unless otherwise permitted by law, and shall not be entitled to damages of any kind from the company, regardless of the cause of action. Certain state laws do not allow limitations on implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If these laws apply to you, some or all of the above disclaimers, exclusions or limitations may not apply to you, and you may have additional rights.
19. Suspension; Termination
If we believe you are abusing our Services in any way, we may, in our sole discretion and without limiting other remedies, limit, suspend, or terminate your user account(s) and access to our Services, delay or remove hosted content, remove any special status associated with your account(s), remove, not display, and/or demote listings, reduce or eliminate any discounts, and take technical and/or legal steps to prevent you from using our Services. In the event of any such suspension or termination and we have to refund any amounts to the Users of your Room, you agree to pay us for any such refunded amounts.
The Company may terminate your account, delete your profile and any User Content that you have posted on the Service and/or prohibit you from using or accessing the Service for any reason, or no reason, at any time in its sole discretion, with or without notice, including if it believes that you are under 18.
20. Arbitration, Class Action Waiver and Governing Law
This Section includes an arbitration agreement and an agreement that all claims will be brought only in an individual capacity (and not as a class action or other representative proceeding) (“Arbitration Agreement”). Please read it carefully. You may opt out of the Arbitration Agreement by following the opt out procedure described below.
Informal Process First. You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and Autopilot, you will first contact Autopilot and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation any court action.
Arbitration Agreement. After the informal dispute resolution process any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to your use of Autopilot’ services and/or products, including the Service, or relating in any way to the communications between you and Autopilot or any other user of the Service, will be finally resolved by binding arbitration. This mandatory Arbitration Agreement applies equally to you and Autopilot. However, this Arbitration Agreement does not (a) govern any Claim by Autopilot for infringement of its intellectual property or access to the Service that is unauthorized or exceeds authorization granted in these Terms or (b) bar you from making use of applicable small claims court procedures in appropriate cases. If you are an individual you may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within thirty (30) days of the first of the date you access or use this Service by following the procedure described below.
Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. There is no judge or jury in arbitration. Instead, the dispute is resolve by a neutral arbitrator. Court review of an arbitration award is limited. Except to the extent the parties agree otherwise, arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Autopilot are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision will survive any termination of these Terms.
Any arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules including, if you are an individual, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. If you are not an individual or have used the Service on behalf of an entity, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will not be used. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.
The number of arbitrators will be one. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. California law will apply. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. If you are an individual and have not accessed or used the Service on behalf of an entity, we will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous, and we will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. However, the preceding sentence will not apply to the “Class Action Waiver” section below.
21. Class Action Waiver
Any Claim must be brought in the respective party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding (“Class Action”). The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. If the Claim is subject to arbitration, the arbitrator will not have authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any person or entity not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The parties understand that any right to litigate in court, to have a judge or jury decide their case, or to be a party to a class or representative action, is waived, and that any claims must be decided individually, through arbitration.
If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement, if otherwise effective, will be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and Autopilot each waive any right to a jury trial.
22. Indemnity
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their members, managers, directors, officers, agents, contractors, partners and employees, harmless from and against any loss, liability, claim, demand, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service, your use of any Third-Party Services that are made available by the Service, any Content you post or Content you share on or through the Service or otherwise, your conduct in connection with the Service or with other Users, or any violation of these Terms or of any law, rule, regulation or order, or the rights of any third party. This indemnity shall survive any termination or cessation of use by you of the Service. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you agree to indemnify and hold the Company and its licensors harmless for any improper or illegal use of your account, including the illegal or improper use of your account by someone to whom you have given permission to use your account.
23. Equitable Remedies
You hereby agree that the Company would be irreparably damaged if these Terms were not specifically enforced, and therefore you agree that the Company shall be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of these Terms, in addition to such other remedies as the Company may otherwise have available to it under applicable laws.
24. Apple App Use
The following terms and conditions apply to you only if you are using the App from the Apple App Store. To the extent the other terms and conditions of the Terms are less restrictive than, or otherwise conflict with, the terms and conditions of this paragraph, the more restrictive or conflicting terms and conditions in this paragraph apply, but solely with respect to App from the Apple App Store. You acknowledge and agree that these Terms are solely between you and Provider, not Apple, and that Apple has no responsibility for the App or content thereof. Your use of the App must comply with the App Store Terms of Use. You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any, for the App to you; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be solely governed by these Terms. You and Provider acknowledge that Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims of you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and/or use of the App, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation. You and Provider acknowledge that, in the event of any third party claim that the App or your possession and use of that App infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, Provider, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by these Terms of Use. You must comply with applicable third party terms of agreement when using the App. You and Provider acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of these Terms as they relate to your license of the App, and that, upon your acceptance of the Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third party beneficiary thereof.
25. Google Play Store App Use
If you acquire the App from Google, Inc. or one of its affiliates (“Google”) via Google Play or its successor(s), then to the extent of any conflict between the Google Terms of Service and the Google Play Business and Program Policies or such other terms which Google designates as default end user license terms for Google Play (all of which together are referred to as the “Google Play Terms), and the other terms and conditions in these Terms, the Google Play Terms shall apply with respect to your use of any App that you acquire from Google Play. Provider and you hereby acknowledge that Google does not have any responsibility or liability related to compliance or non-compliance by Provider or you (or any other user) under these Terms or the Google Play Terms.
26. Additional Terms
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and the Company relating to your use of the Service. The failure of the Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision in that or any other instance. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect. If any provision of these Terms shall be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
