Terms and Conditions

Some rules you need to abide by when using our service.

Last Updated: Sep 8, 2022

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) apply to your access to and use of the websites, applications and other online products and services (collectively, our “Services”) provided by Upturn Corporation (“Upturn” or “we”). If you (“you” or the “client”) do not agree to these Terms, including the mandatory arbitration provision and class action waiver in Section 14, do not access or use our Services.

If you have any questions about these Terms or our Services, please contact us at info@upturn.io.

Description of the Services

The firm currently has a mobile application, also called Upturn, that provides you with information to consider when making decisions about buying and selling publicly traded stocks and certain other assets. The firm also may offer desktop apps, website access, or REST APIs integrated into third party applications. Upturn uses a proprietary algorithm to provide you with a technical analysis of how certain selected stocks or other assets are performing. This algorithm alerts you as to when a stock might potentially be on an “Upturn,” based on a technical analysis of historical data. The recommendations are to be taken purely as “potential” upward indicators and are not guarantees on the stock movements and the user should further investigate before making any purchase or selling decisions. Users can access information regarding historical performance, star or similar rating (based on historical performance), upturn indication, ending of upturn, loss, and average-days-invested. Upturn is registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; such registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training. The services and various risks are further described in Upturn’s Form ADV Brochure which is available at the same website where these Terms and Conditions are found. By agreeing to this Agreement, you acknowledge and understand that you are an investment advisory client of Upturn, and you hereby confirm that you have read and understand Upturn’s Form ADV Brochure, including as to risks of the app and of investment.

Limitation of Liability

Upturn and the other Upturn Parties will not be liable to you under any theory of liability—whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, warranty, or otherwise—for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, punitive or special damages or lost profits, even if Upturn or the other Upturn Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the consistent with the securities law, the total liability of Upturn and the other Upturn Parties, for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services, regardless of the form of the action, is limited to the amount paid, if any, by you to access or use our Services.

The limitations set forth in this section will not limit or exclude liability for the gross negligence, fraud, or intentional misconduct of Upturn or the other Upturn Parties or for any other matters in which liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Additionally, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

Release

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release Upturn and the other Upturn Parties from responsibility, liability, claims, demands, and/or damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including, but not limited to, claims of negligence), arising out of or related to disputes between users and the acts or omissions of third parties. You expressly waive any rights you may have under California Civil Code § 1542 as well as any other statute or common law principles that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.

Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration

The following applies to the extent permitted by law but is not intended to modify any rights you may have under the Advisers Act and does not affect the fiduciary duty that Upturn owes you upon your acceptance as an investment advisory client.

Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Upturn and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

Except for small claims disputes in which you or Upturn seek to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or Upturn seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and Upturn waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services resolved in court. Instead, all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration held in Alameda County, California in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules”) of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are available on the JAMS website and hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

You and Upturn agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and Upturn and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action, or any other type of representative proceeding.

You and Upturn agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 13 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in a court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. You and Upturn agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and Upturn will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Upturn, Upturn will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and Upturn agree that the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States sitting in Alameda County, California have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.

Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you and Upturn will not have the right to assert the claim.

You have the right to opt-out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 13 by emailing us at info@upturn.io. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt-out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 14.

Governing Law and Venue

THESE TERMS AND YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF OUR SERVICES WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW RULES OR PRINCIPLES (WHETHER OF CALIFORNIA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE PARTIES THAT IS NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION OR CANNOT BE HEARD IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT WILL BE RESOLVED IN THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS OF CALIFORNIA AND THE UNITED STATES, RESPECTIVELY, SITTING IN ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.

Electronic Communications

By creating an Upturn account, if applicable, you also consent to receive electronic communications from Upturn (e.g., via email or by posting notices on our Services). These communications may include notices about your account (e.g., payment authorizations, password changes, and other transactional information) and are part of your relationship with us. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including, but not limited to, that such communications be in writing.

Changes to these Terms

We may make changes to these Terms from time to time. If we make changes, we will post the amended Terms to our Services and update the “Last Updated” date above. We may also attempt to notify you by sending an email notification to the address associated with your account, if applicable, or providing notice through our Services. Unless we say otherwise in our notice, the amended Terms will be effective immediately and your continued access to and use of our Services after we provide notice will confirm your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you must stop accessing and using our Services.

Termination: Assignment

Either party may terminate this agreement with immediate effect, and not requiring any prior notice. We reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your right to access or use our Services. We are not responsible for any loss or harm related to your inability to access or use our Services. Neither party may, without the consent of the other party, assign this Agreement to any other person; for purposes of this provision “assignment” shall have the meaning given it under the Advisers Act and shall include only an actual change of control. In the event that Upturn is acquired, otherwise has a change of control, or otherwise requires consent to an assignment, such consent shall be deemed granted by the client if notice of such event is provided to the client and, after 45 days after such notice, the client has not objected to such assignment. Any such objection shall result in termination of this Agreement and the client agrees in such event to discontinue use of the Services. Continued use of the Services shall be considered a renewal of this Agreement made after the assignment in question.

Severability

If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

Miscellaneous

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Upturn relating to your access to and use of our Services. The failure of Upturn to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
