Terms & Conditions

 

This END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by Horizon Quant Technologies (“Horizon”) and by customer or end user of the Horizon Quant Technologies software products (“you” or “Licensee”). Your acceptance of the following terms will be evidenced by your purchase or any use of the Horizon Quant Technologies software products (the “Product”).

 

License Grant

 

This Agreement applies to any and all versions of the Product, including any updates, modifications, and replacements thereof. Horizon Quant Technologies grants Licensee a limited, non-transferable license to use the Product in object code form strictly and solely for Licensee’s personal purposes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and not for any commercial or other purposes.

 

Limitations

 

Licensee shall not: (i) rent, lease, loan, sublicense, sell, copy, or distribute the Product in whole or in part to any third party; (ii) use the Product for any commercial purpose other than personal use without express written permission from Horizon Quant Technologies; (iii) remove, alter, obfuscate, and/or otherwise deface any trademarks or notices on the Product; or (iv) modify, decompile, disassemble, decrypt, reverse engineer or emulate the functionality of and/or create derivative works of the Product. Further, copy trading is prohibited without prior express written permission from Horizon Quant Technologies. Any deviation by Licensee will result in immediate termination of Licensee’s license for the Product and no refund will be owed or issued.

 

Ownership

 

Horizon Quant Technologies reserves all rights not expressly granted to Licensee in this Agreement and retains full ownership and control of the Product, including but not limited to all right, title and interest in and to the Product under all applicable federal, state, and local laws of the United States or any other jurisdiction. The Product, including, without limitation, the object code and source code, whether or not provided to Licensee, are strictly confidential to Horizon Quant Technologies. Horizon Quant Technologies retains all right and title to the software and any updates, enhancements, or modifications thereto, and any trademarks, copyrights, patents, or other intellectual property rights included in the Product or documentation provided to Licensee.

 

Settings

 

Your Horizon Quant Technologies license is preprogrammed for your selected starting maximum account size and is set to the “Normal” risk setting by default. The manual contains instructions for adjusting your risk setting to “Conservative", which are calculated to provide approximately -1/3 of the risk/reward profile of the Normal setting, respectively. As the end user, you may adjust the settings of your Horizon Algorithm yourself at any time at your discretion. Instructions for adjusting these settings will be included with your License and will be reviewed in Horizon's regular technical support and setup guidance sessions. You expressly acknowledge and agree that it is solely your responsibility to monitor and adjust your risk setting according to your preference and at your discretion.

 

Payment

 

Upon request, you will receive an email with payment instructions. Upon submission of payment, please allow up to seventy-two (72) hours for us to supply your software download and SETfile, which will be sent to you by email. Your initial payment shall serve as your acknowledgement and agreement to the terms contained herein.

 

Tax Compliance

 

Licensee acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for complying with all applicable tax laws, regulations, reporting, and obligations arising from the use of the Product, including but not limited to any taxes relating to activities generated through the Product. Horizon Quant Technologies shall not be responsible for any tax liabilities incurred by Licensee. Failure to comply with tax obligations may result in penalties or legal consequences for which Licensee shall be solely liable. Licensee is encouraged to seek advice from a qualified tax professional or advisor regarding its specific tax obligations (if any) related to the use of the Product.

 

Account

 

Your chosen initial account size will unlock your Horizon Algorithm for trading, enabling transactions up to the maximum value you select upon purchase. If your account exceeds this predetermined maximum value, you must either withdraw funds to reduce your account size below your licensed threshold, or to upgrade to the next tier. Failure to take action by either reducing your account size or upgrading will result in the termination of your license key, rendering your Horizon Algorithm, no longer functional. This may leave positions open in your brokerage account. It is your sole responsibility to ensure your account remains within its licensed threshold. If you would like to upgrade, simply email support@horizonalgo.com. Your upgrade fee will be the difference between your current purchase and the purchase price of the account size you wish to upgrade to, at Horizon's then-current prices, plus a Five-Hundred Dollar ($500.00 USD) re-licensing fee. You are solely responsible for maintaining your account and any associated privacy and security required.

 

Monthly Maintenance Fees

 

You shall be responsible for paying maintenance fees to Horizon Quant Technologies monthly to maintain your account as designated by Horizon Quant Technologies. All fees are: (i) stated and payable in United States dollars; and (ii) non-refundable. Failure to pay the monthly maintenance fee will result in forfeiture of your license key and your Horizon Algorithm will no longer function. Licensing fee refunds will not be granted due to non-payment of the monthly maintenance fee. Your first invoice will be sent one month after your license is activated, and invoicing will repeat monthly. If your monthly maintenance fee is not paid within (14) calendar days of your invoice date, your software license will be revoked, your Horizon Algorithm will no longer function, and a re-licensing fee of Five-Hundred Dollars ($500.00 USD) will be charged, in addition to payment of any and all past-due monthly maintenance fees, to reactivate your Horizon Algorithm. Horizon Quant Technologies reserves the right to increase monthly maintenance fees on an annual basis, which shall not exceed ten percent (10%) per year of your current monthly maintenance fee. For support inquiries contact us at support@horizonalgo.com.

Limited Refund & Profit Compensation Policy

 

Client acknowledges and agrees that Horizon Quant Technologies offers a limited, discretional refund on the Product as stated under the listed parameters herein. If, subsequent to 60-days of the date of purchase and continuous use of the Product, Client is not satisfied with the Software and had adhered to the parameters stated, Client is entitled to and may request a full refund of the purchase price paid.

 

The parameters to be eligible for the 60-day refund policy are as follows:

 

1) Client must send a full downloaded copy of their journal tab and trade report to Horizon Quant Technologies for review;

2) Client must have maintained the exact recommended Software settings using a “conservative” factor with zero adjustments or Client interventions for the entire 60-day period;

3) any losses caused by faults with Client’s VPS or remote desktop are not cause for a refund;

4) Client must have earned less than one dollar ($1.00) USD in profit using the Software within the 60-day period;

5) Client must have attended 2 educational training sessions;

6) Client must have attended at least 1 set up call;

(For the avoidance of doubt, as an example, if Client paid $20,000 for a license for the Product, but has only realized a profit of $18,000 during the 16 month period, Horizon Algos will refund Client the amount of $2,000.00.)

To request a refund or compensation under either policy, Client must provide written notice of their request to Horizon Quant Technologies within 7 days following the 60-day or 16-month period.
