Customer acknowledges that by entering into a customer relationship with Fennel and by receiving Market Data (as described in Annex I and Annex II to this Addendum) from Fennel and through the Fennel app, website, or other means, Customer agrees to the terms in this Addendum, including Annex I and Annex II of this Addendum. Fennel may amend this Addendum from time to time without Your consent.
You acknowledge that the Market Data that Fennel provides to you is provided to Fennel by third parties (including the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, and others) and that Fennel is not involved in the preparation, production, compilation, or editing of such data and does not endorse or approve such content explicitly or implicitly.

All Market Data is provided to You on an “as is” basis and Your use or review of such Market Data is solely at Your risk. Neither Fennel nor any third-party service providers: (i) warrants the accuracy or reliability of any Market Data provided to You, (ii) warrants any results from Your use of any such Market Data, and (iii) bears any legal responsibility to You for any loss or damages arising from information delay, error, or omission of any Market Data.

You warrant and represents that you are a “Non-Professional” investor, and that You are not a “Securities Professional”, each as described and defined below. Customer acknowledges that Fennel can provide to You, and You may receive from Fennel Market Data only so long as You are a Non-Professional investor. A “Non-Professional” means any natural person (i) who receives Market Data solely for his or her own personal, non-business use and (ii) who is not a “Securities Professional”, as defined below.

A person who works outside of the United States is a “Securities Professional” if that person performs the same function or functions as a person who if in the United States would be a “Securities Professional.” One is not a “Non-Professional” investor if one uses Market Data for business, professional or other commercial purpose, even if the commercial use is for or on behalf of an organization not in the securities industry. You agree to notify Fennel immediately in the event You no longer meet the qualifications of a Non-Professional, and You agree to promptly stop using and receiving Market Data at that time and thereafter.
By accessing Market Data that Fennel provides through its Fennel app, website, or other means, You agree, acknowledge, and certify (as applicable) as follows:

  3. You acknowledge that You have read the preceding terms and conditions of this Addendum, that You understand them, and that You will agree to and comply with such terms and conditions.
