1.1.A Personal License is available to individuals who access the Services for their own personal, non-commercial informational purposes and who do not meet the definition of a "Securities Professional" as described below.
1.2.A Securities Professional is any individual who: (a) is registered or qualified with any securities regulatory authority, self-regulatory organization, or commodities regulatory authority (including but not limited to the SEC, FINRA, CFTC, NFA, or any foreign equivalent); (b) is employed by or associated with a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser, bank, insurance company, hedge fund, or other financial institution in a capacity that involves securities, commodities, or derivatives trading, analysis, research, or advisory services; or (c) uses market data or financial news in connection with any business or commercial activity.
1.3.By purchasing a Personal License, you certify that you are not a Securities Professional and that your use is for personal, non-commercial purposes only. This certification is made under penalty of account termination and potential legal liability.
