Our Website is a financial data and news portal, discussion forum and content aggregator. Divscreen is not a broker/dealer, we are not an investment advisor, we have no access to non-public information about publicly traded companies, and this is not a place for the giving or receiving of financial advice, advice concerning investment decisions or tax or legal advice. We are not regulated by the Financial Services Authority. We are an educational platform for analysing, learning & discussing general and generic information related to stocks, investments and strategies. No content on the site constitutes - or should be understood as constituting - a recommendation to enter in any securities transactions or to engage in any of the investment strategies presented in our site content. We do not provide personalised recommendations or views as to whether a stock or investment approach is suited to the financial needs of a specific individual. Where we present screens or rankings, the results should only be treated as candidates for further research, not as a buy list or set of recommendations. Screening/ranking may help to narrow a search based on pre-defined criteria but it is not a substitute for independent research reflecting your individual criteria for investing/trading. Divscreen Content and Divscreen Data is intended to be used and must be used for informational purposes only. It is very important to do your own analysis before making any investment based on your own personal circumstances. You should take professional financial advice in connection with, or independently research and verify, any information that you find on our Website and wish to rely upon, whether for the purpose of making an investment decision or otherwise. Any arrangements between you and any third party contacted via the Website are at your sole risk. Accordingly, we will not be liable, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, in respect of any damage, expense or other loss you may suffer arising out of such information or any reliance you may place upon such information. Our Website is directed only to EU residents. For the avoidance of doubt, the Website is not being offered in the US or Canada or to US persons or Canadian persons. Nothing on this Website or any part thereof is intended to constitute an offer or solicitation to buy or sell investments in any jurisdiction. We do not therefore warrant that our Website complies with the applicable laws or regulations of any particular jurisdiction outside the EU. Accordingly, if it is prohibited to make information provided on this Website or any part thereof available in your jurisdiction or to you (by reason of nationality, residence or otherwise) the Website or any part thereof is not directed at you. You accept that if you are resident outside the EU, you must satisfy yourself that you are lawfully able to access our Website and, in particular, able to lawfully receive any document which contains links or allows you access to other websites in the country from where you are accessing the User Content, Third Party Content and/or Stockopedia Content. We do not accept any liability for any costs, losses or damages resulting from, or related to, the availability or content of the Website to persons in jurisdictions outside the EU or to persons who are nominees of or trustees for citizens, resident or nationals of other countries. We would like to draw your attention to the following important investment warnings: i) the value of shares and investments and the income derived from them can go down as well as up; ii) investors may not get back the amount they invested; and iii) past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance.
Our liability is limited and excluded to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. We will not be liable for any direct or indirect loss or damage arising under these Terms, your Use of the Subscription Service or in connection with the Website, whether arising in tort, contract, or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the exclusion of liability above, we will not be liable for any loss of profit, contracts, business, goodwill, data, income, revenue or anticipated savings arising under these Terms, your Use of the Subscription Service or in connection with the Website, whether direct or indirect, and whether arising in tort, contract, or otherwise; nor will we be liable for any loss or damage arising out of any event that is beyond our reasonable control. If, notwithstanding the limitations of liability in these Terms, we are found to be liable to you, our liability is limited to Subscribers and to the Charges paid by the Subscriber in question. You agreed to the publication of feedback and comments about you by others on the Website, you acknowledge that such feedback and comments may be critical or defamatory, and you agree that you will not hold us liable in respect of any such feedback and comments, irrespective of whether we are aware or ought to have been aware of such feedback and comments. Nothing in these Terms will exclude or limit our liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
The Website includes links to other websites. These links are not recommendations, and are provided for your information only. We have no control over the contents of those websites, and accept no responsibility for them or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them.
Divscreen and our logo are trademarks belonging to us. We give no permission for the use of these trademarks, and such use may constitute an infringement of our rights. The other registered and unregistered trademarks or service marks on the Website are the property of their respective owners. Unless stated otherwise, we do not endorse and are not affiliated with any of the holders of any such rights and as such we cannot grant any licence to exercise such rights.
Without prejudice to our other rights under these Terms, if you (including for the avoidance of doubt Registered Users and Subscribers) breach any of these Terms in any way, or if we reasonably suspect that you have breached any of these Terms in any way, we may: (a) send you one or more formal warnings; (b) temporarily suspend your access to the Website and/or the Subscription Service; (c) delete your account; (d) permanently prohibit you from using the Website and/or the Subscription Service; (e) block computers using your IP address from accessing the Website; (f) contact your internet services provider and request that they block your access to the Website; and/or (g) bring court proceeding against you for breach of contract or otherwise. Where we suspend or prohibit or block your access to the Website, part of the Website, and/or the Subscription Service, you must not take any action to circumvent such suspension or prohibition or block (including without limitation using a different account).
The duration of any Trial Period shall be as specified on the Website. Use of the Subscription Service shall be free of charge during the Trial Period. Unless you provide Divscreen with notice to terminate the Subscription Service prior to the end of the Trial Period (by unsubscribing on the Website), the Charges provisions shall apply and govern your ongoing Use of the Subscription Service. After the Trial Period expires you shall be liable to pay the Charges. You accept that by providing your credit card details you authorise Divscreen to deduct the Charges (or instalments of the Charges) using such payment method (as applicable) on a regular basis and in advance until the you terminate or cancel your subscription to the Subscription Service. The amount of the Charges shall be as displayed on the Website and may change from time to time. However, where we bill you for any upgrade modules, we will only do so based on your request for these modules and with your consent to the proposed upgrade pricing. You may only have one Trial Period. Should we identify that you have already made use of a Free Trial Period with the Subscription Service, you will immediately be billed for the Charges.
Subject to the Trial Period provisions above, in consideration for the provision of the Subscription Service, Subscribers agree to pay the Charges applicable to the Data plan which they have selected as detailed on the Website and updated from time to time. Without prejudice to its rights to recover the sums outstanding from the Subscriber, should Divscreen not be able to withdraw any part of the Charges from the Subscriber’s credit card, Divscreen reserves the right to: 1. suspend access to the Subscription Service; or 2. terminate this agreement to access the Subscription Service.
At the end of each subscription period, a subscription will continue to automatically renew at the prevailing fee rate applicable to the Data plan which has been selected by the Subscriber, unless terminated by us or until the Subscriber notifies us of their decision to cancel their subscription to the Services. Either party may terminate this agreement to access the Subscription Service, which in the case of the Subscriber may be communicated to Divscreen by the Subscriber unsubscribing on the Website. If the Subscriber terminates this agreement to access the Subscription Service, the Subscriber shall ensure that it pays Divscreen all Charges owing up until the date of termination (including any outstanding interest) and will be entitled to use the service until the end of that billing period. The Subscriber shall not be entitled to any refund of charges it has already paid to Divscreen.
Under Part III of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, you might otherwise have the right to cancel the agreement to access the Subscription Service without charge for 14 days after the day this Agreement has been concluded. However, when you successfully complete your order for our Subscription Service, you agree that the Product is immediately available to you (i.e. before the end of that cancellation period) and that we have therefore immediately commenced provision of the services for the purposes of the Regulations. As the services are provided at your request, you lose your right to cancel under the Regulations. It is only on the basis of this understanding that we are willing to offer you the free Subscription Trial Period outlined above. Any Billing Assistance will be conducted by email (support(at)stockopedia.com). Our customer service center will be open business days and hours Monday to Friday and closed on weekends.
All of our data subscription offer will remain in "beta" until we indicate otherwise. From time to time, Divscreen may also offer you access to certain new features of the Website as a "beta user". If you use beta features, you acknowledge that these features may not yet have been fully bug-tested and may therefore contain significant errors and issues. You undertake to notify Divscreen of any bugs you may find, where possible. You also accept that access to these features may be withdrawn at any time, without any notice given, if we decided that these features are to form part of a separate subscription offer.
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect, and any such invalid or unenforceable provisions will be deemed omitted. No waiver of any provision of these Terms by us, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, will be deemed to be, or be construed as, a further or continuing waiver of that provision or any other provision of these Terms. These Terms are for the benefit of us and our users and are not intended to benefit, or be enforceable by, any other person. Any termination, rescission, amendment, variation, waiver or settlement under these Terms will not be subject to the consent of any third party. User Content posted on the Website may be retained by us either on-line or archived for a period of ten years. You may not assign, charge, sub-contract or otherwise transfer any of your rights or obligations arising under these Terms. Any attempt by you to do so will be null and void. We may assign, charge, sub-contract or otherwise transfer these Terms, or any of our rights or obligations arising under these Terms, at any time. We may vary these Terms from time-to-time by posting a new version of the Terms on the Website. If you are a Registered User or Subscriber, we may also give you notice of the variation. Your continued use of the Website after a variation will constitute your acceptance of the variation. These Terms constitutes the entire agreement between you and us in relation to your use of the Website, and supersede all previous agreements in respect of your use of the Website. These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with German law, and the German courts will have (subject to the following) exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms. Both you and we irrevocably agree for the benefit of the other to settle any dispute which may arise out of, under, or in connection with these Terms or the legal relationship established by them, and for those purposes we both irrevocably submit all disputes to the jurisdiction of the German courts. For the exclusive benefit of Divscreen, Divscreen retains the right to bring proceedings as to the substance of the matter in the courts of the country of your residence or, where these Terms are, subject to the financial disclaimer in clause 8 above, entered into in the course of your trade or profession, the country of your principal place of business.
