We will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by any unauthorized use of your Account.
5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Unauthorized use of the Cache Content may violate copyright, trademark, and other laws.
Subject to the next paragraph, both Users and Customers may view all Cache Content for your own personal, non-commercial use, and no other use is permitted without the prior written consent of Cache.

We reserve the right to remove Cache Content at any time for any reason without any notice to you.
If you violate any part of this Agreement, your permission to access the Cache Content and the Platform automatically terminates and you must immediately destroy any copies you have made of the Cache Content.
The trademarks, Service marks, and logos of Cache and its affiliates (the “Cache Trademarks”) used and displayed on the Platform are registered and unregistered trademarks or Service marks of Cache. Other company, product, and Service names located on the Platform may be trademarks or Service marks owned by others (the “Third-Party Trademarks,” and, collectively with Cache Trademarks, the “Trademarks”). Nothing herein or on the Platform should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use the Trademarks, without our prior written permission specific for each such use. Use of the Trademarks as part of a link to or from any site is prohibited unless establishment of such a link is approved in advance by us in writing. All goodwill generated from the use of Cache Trademarks inures to our benefit.
Elements of the Platform are protected by trade dress, trademark, unfair competition, and other state and federal laws and may not be copied or imitated in whole or in part, by any means, including, but not limited to, the use of framing or mirrors. None of the Cache Content may be retransmitted without our express, written consent for each and every instance.
6. CUSTOMER CONTENT; LICENSES
The Platform may provide Customers the ability to create commentary and other content (text, graphics, images, or otherwise) (“Customer Content”) available to other Customers. Each time a Customer submits Customer Content, you expressly authorize Cache to make such Customer Content available to other Customers through the Platform. YOU, AND NOT CACHE, ARE ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL CUSTOMER CONTENT THAT YOU UPLOAD, POST, E-MAIL, OR OTHERWISE TRANSMIT VIA THE PLATFORM. IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP CONFIDENTIAL, THAT YOU DO NOT WANT OTHERS TO USE, AND/OR THAT IS SUBJECT TO THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS THAT MAY BE INFRINGED BY YOUR SHARING IT, DO NOT POST IT ANYWHERE ON OR THROUGH THE PLATFORM. IN ADDITION, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS WHEN POSTING CUSTOMER CONTENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED. CACHE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MISUSE OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF ANY CUSTOMER CONTENT THAT YOU MAKE AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE PLATFORM.
You retain all copyrights and other intellectual property rights in and to your own Customer Content. You do, however, hereby grant us an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, sub-licensable and transferable right and license to copy, transmit, format, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, perform and otherwise use your Customer Content and all intellectual property and moral rights therein throughout the universe, in each case, by or in any means, methods, media, or technology now known or hereafter devised, in connection with our business, including, without limitation, for the purpose of providing the Platform.
If you submit Customer Content to us or post it on the Platform, each such submission constitutes a representation and warranty to Cache that (i) such Customer Content is your original creation (or that you otherwise have the right to provide the Customer Content), (ii) that you have the rights necessary to grant the license to the Customer Content under the prior paragraph, (iii) that such Customer Content and its use by Cache and its sublicensees as permitted by this Agreement do not and will not infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property or privacy or other rights of any person, or contain any libelous, defamatory, or obscene material or content that violates our these Terms of Use.
We reserve the right (but not the obligation), in our sole discretion, to remove Customer Content that does not meet these Terms of Use or for any other reason. For the avoidance of doubt, we are not responsible for monitoring Customer Content, but may do so.
We reserve the right, at all times and in our sole discretion, to disclose any Customer Content and other related information for any reason, including without limitation (a) to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request; (b) to enforce the terms of this Agreement or your Cache Securities Customer Agreement or Advisory Agreement; (c) to protect the legal rights and remedies of us or our affiliates; (d) if we, in our reasonable discretion, believes that someone’s health or safety may be threatened; or (e) to report a crime or other offensive behavior.
WE DO NOT CONTROL ANY CUSTOMER CONTENT, AND WE THEREFORE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, AND NONE OF THE CACHE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) WILL HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY, WITH RESPECT TO ANY CUSTOMER CONTENT PROVIDED OR MADE AVAILABLE BY YOU OR BY ANY OTHER CUSTOMER.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT PRE-SCREEN, ENDORSE OR APPROVE ANY CUSTOMER CONTENT. CUSTOMER CONTENT SHOULD BE INDEPENDENTLY VETTED BY THE END USER FOR ACCURACY, TIMELINESS AND AUTHENTICITY. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU CHOOSE TO USE THE PLATFORM TO COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS OF THE PLATFORM AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND WILL EVALUATE AND BEAR ANY RISKS RELATED TO YOUR USE OF ANY CUSTOMER CONTENT PROVIDED BY ANY OTHER CUSTOMER, INCLUDING ANY RELIANCE ON THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS OR USEFULNESS OF SUCH CUSTOMER CONTENT. THIS IS INCLUSIVE OF ANY IDEAS, SUGGESTIONS, OPINIONS, COMMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS MADE BY OTHER USERS OF THE PLATFORM, AS WELL AS ANY TEXT, DATA FILES, VIDEO, MUSIC, SOUND, VOICE RECORDINGS OR OTHER CUSTOMER CONTENT.
ANY CUSTOMER CONTENT THAT MENTIONS OR REFERENCES A SECURITY OR AN INVESTMENT STRATEGY, OR ANY SECURITIES TRANSACTION IS NOT A SOLICITATION OR RECOMMENDATION TO BUY A SECURITY BY US. NONE OF THE CACHE PARTIES SOLICIT OR RECOMMEND ANY TRADE OR SECURITY VIA THE PLATFORM, OR OTHERWISE. THERE ARE MANY FACTORS THAT YOU MUST CONSIDER WHEN MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PRODUCT FEATURES, RISKS, WHETHER OR NOT AN INVESTMENT MEETS YOUR INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, RISK TOLERANCE AND OTHER PERSONALIZED FACTORS. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT PAST PERFORMANCE MAY NOT BE INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. DIFFERENT TYPES OF INVESTMENTS INVOLVE VARYING DEGREES OF RISK, AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE FUTURE PERFORMANCE OF ANY SPECIFIC INVESTMENT, INVESTMENT STRATEGY, OR PRODUCT REFERENCED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IN ANY CUSTOMER CONTENT, WILL BE PROFITABLE OR BE SUITABLE FOR YOU.

You own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to all trademark, trade secret, copyright, or other proprietary, privacy, and publicity rights in and to your Customer Content and any other works that you incorporate into your Customer Content, and all the rights necessary to grant the licenses and permissions you grant hereunder;

These Terms of Use are effective as of the last updated date stated at the top. We may change these Terms of Use from time to time with or without notice to you. By accessing the Platform after we make any such changes to these Terms of Use, you are deemed to have accepted such changes. Please refer back to these Terms of Use on a regular basis.

By Mail:
Cache Financials, Inc.
Attn: Legal Department
95 Third St, 2nd Floor
San Francisco, CA - 94103

16. CONTROLLING LAW
This Agreement and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER
YOUR AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE YOUR CLAIMS. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THIS SECTION 17. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS EXCEPT FOR MATTERS THAT YOU FILE IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IN THE STATE OR MUNICIPALITY OF YOUR RESIDENCE WITHIN THE JURISDICTIONAL LIMITS OF THE SMALL CLAIMS COURT AND AS LONG AS SUCH MATTER IS ONLY PENDING IN THAT COURT. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. YOU ARE ENTITLED TO A FAIR HEARING BUT THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES MAY BE SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. AN ARBITRATOR’S DECISION IS AS ENFORCEABLE AS ANY COURT ORDER AND IS SUBJECT TO A VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE TO THIS SECTION 17 AS A CONDITION OF ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE, ANY OF OUR PLATFORMS, OR ANY CONTENT.
Informal Dispute Procedures. For any dispute you have with Cache or concerning these Terms of Use, you agree to first contact us at support@usecache.com and to attempt to resolve such dispute informally.
Arbitration. In the unlikely event that we are unable to resolve any dispute you bring to our attention after sixty (60) days, and for any other dispute we raise, you and Cache agree that, except where prohibited by law, all disputes shall be resolved individually and exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS, and conducted before a single arbitrator, all pursuant to the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures that are in effect at the time arbitration is initiated (the “JAMS Rules”). For more information on JAMS, the JAMS Rules, or the process for filing an arbitration claim, you may call JAMS at 800.352.5267 or visit the JAMS website at www.jamsadr.com.
No Class Actions or Class Wide Relief. You and Cache agree to the following with respect to the arbitration of any Dispute hereunder: (a) ANY CLAIM MUST BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (b) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF; (c) the arbitration will be held at a location in your hometown area unless you and we both agree to another location or telephonic arbitration; (d) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation; (e) we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to assume responsibility for any or all of the costs of the arbitration; (f) the arbitrator will honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (g) the arbitration will be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by applicable law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award; (h) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are expressly permitted by applicable law; and (i) each party will pay its own attorneys’ fees and expenses, unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation expenses and the arbitrator awards such attorneys’ fees and expenses to the prevailing party, and, in such instance, the fees and costs awarded will be determined by the applicable law. ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, WHETHER ON AN INDIVIDUAL OR A CLASS BASIS, IS HEREBY WAIVED.
Survival. This Section 17 will survive termination of these Terms of Use or your right to access or use our Services or our Platform. With the exception of the subpart prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the JAMS Rules, then the balance of this provision will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal, or conflicting part was not contained herein. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute will be exclusively brought in federal court if it has jurisdiction or, if it does not, in a state court located in the federal judicial district of your residence.
18. MISCELLANEOUS
Our failure to act on or enforce any provision of the Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision in this Agreement. No waiver shall be effective against us unless made in writing, and no such waiver shall be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance. Except as expressly agreed by us and you in writing, this Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter, and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter. The section headings are provided merely for convenience and shall not be given any legal import. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns, licensees, and sublicensees.
