We do not permit Users to enter into these Terms of Use on behalf of a company or other legal entity or business. While we do sometimes permit companies and organizations to pay for the use of the Services for one or more of their employees, you understand and agree that these Terms of Use apply to you in your individual capacity and are an agreement between you and us. You may not share your account information, including your username and password, with any person or third party, and your account may not be used by your employer or other employees you work with. IF YOU RECEIVE ACCESS FROM AN EMPLOYER OR AN EMPLOYER PAYS FOR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, YOU ARE STILL AGREEING TO THESE TERMS OF USE AND ARE BOUND BY ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN.

Daily Shot and its affiliates are not themselves financial, Investment OR BUSINESS advisors and do not themselves provide investment-related services, TRADING RECOMMENDATIONS, or other PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS SERVICES or advice. The Services and Content, INFORMATION AND DATA in the Services are PROVIDED for informational, EDUCATIONAL and convenience purposes only, and are not intended to provide, and should not be relied on for, investment, financial, business, tax or legal advice. We do not recommend or endorse any specific investment strategies or investment products OR SECURITIES that may be mentioned on, REFERENCED BY OR INCLUDED IN the Services.

“User” or “you” or “your” (and similar terms) means any person that visits, views, uses or accesses any portion of the Platform or any of the other Services.
3. Services.
3.1 License; Access and Use. Subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use, Daily Shot grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right and license to access and use the Platform, the Content and the other Services solely for your individual and personal use (subject to any particular access plan you have selected and subject to any feature or other use restrictions based on the plan or Premium Features (if any) you are paying for).
3.2 Payments; Premium and Paid Features. While we make our Daily Shot Brief newsletter and our corresponding Site located at DailyShotBrief.com available to Users at no cost, our expanded Daily Shot newsletter and our Site located at thedailyshot.com are provided to Users as a fee-based subscription service. See our Daily Shot subscription page for more information regarding our different Daily Shot subscription options, including applicable fees and different access rights granted based on your subscription level. In order to receive, access and use the fee-based portions of the Platform, you will need to pay all applicable subscription and access fees. Daily Shot may also from time to time elect to charge additional fees in connection with all or a portion of the other Services, or to offer all or a portion of the other Services on a subscription basis, or may otherwise elect to restrict portions of the Services or features and functionality within the Services. All such advanced, additional, paid and subscription-based Services (including the different subscription levels for the Daily Shot newsletter and our paid Site located at thedailyshot.com) are collectively referred to herein as “Premium Features” and payment to Daily Shot is required for Users to access and use such Premium Features.
We will notify you of any fees associated with the Services, including any Premium Features, as well as any additional terms and conditions that might apply to such paid or subscription Services, so that you may choose whether to purchase or subscribe therefor. If you desire to purchase or subscribe for the Premium Features or any other paid Services, you agree to pay the rates or fees required by Daily Shot at such time. We sometimes permit employers to purchase subscription fees on behalf of their employees. Notwithstanding such fact, these Terms of Use represent an individual contract between each individual User and the Daily Shot. In other words, the license and access and use rights granted by these Terms of Use are seat limited to just one User and apply solely on an individual capacity. Accordingly, if your employer paid your subscription fees, you understand and agree that you are nonetheless individually bound by the terms of this Agreement and, without limiting any other terms herein, you may not share your login or access credentials or any of our paid content with any other employees or individuals.
We may from time to time offer certain Users the ability to access and use certain Services on a free or reduced-rate trial basis. Relevant Services, time periods and rates will vary depending on promotions occurring at the time. Please note that continued use of those Services after the trial period will generally require payment of applicable rates and fees. In particular, you may be required to provide a valid credit card when registering to access and use any Services on a free or reduced-rate trial basis. In such case, unless you cancel the Service during your trial period, your trial access will automatically convert to a paid subscription and we will charge your credit card for all rates and fees then applicable to the relevant Services following the trial period. You acknowledge and agree with the foregoing and permit us to charge your credit card in connection with all trial Services that have so converted to paid Services.
Additionally, full-time students with a valid student ID can apply for a discount to access and use certain paid Services. We reserve the right to check the validity of your student status with your educational institution. If we, in our sole discretion, deem a User’s educational credentials to be questionable, we reserve the right to deny that User’s application for a student discount.
3.3 Payment and Authorization. If you elect to purchase or subscribe for the Daily Shot newsletter and corresponding paid Site (thedailyshot.com) or any other Premium Features, a valid credit card will be required for paying accounts and Services will be billed in advance in accordance with the applicable pricing schedule. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of paid Services. All fees will be exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you will be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only United States (federal or state) taxes based on Daily Shot’s income. You agree to pay for any taxes that might be applicable to your use of such paid Services. You agree to be billed monthly, annually or at such other installments as mutually agreed, and grant us the right to charge your credit card (or otherwise facilitate payment) with the payment information you provide us, including on a recurring basis. You will reimburse us for any fees that we may be charged related to declined payments, and you will keep us informed of all changes to your billing information.
3.4 Renewals; Cancelation. All paid subscriptions are final and non-refundable. Subscriptions can be canceled online at thedailyshot.com at any time before the end of the applicable payment term. We generally bill on an annual or monthly basis depending on your subscription as further shown on our Daily Shot subscription page. All subscriptions auto-renew unless explicitly canceled before the end of the term.
3.5 Limitations. Daily Shot reserves the sole right to either modify or discontinue all or a portion of the Services, including the Site, the Newsletter and any features therein, at any time with or without notice to User. Daily Shot shall not be liable to User or any third party should Daily Shot exercise such right. User understands and agrees that temporary interruptions of the Services may occur as normal events.
User further understands and agrees that Daily Shot has no control over third party networks or data or Content streams that User may access in the course of the use of the Services. Therefore, delays and disruption of network transmissions are completely beyond Daily Shot’s control, as are the accuracy and completeness of information, data and Content received via such third party networks or streams.
User understands and agrees that the Platform and each of the other Services are provided “AS IS” and that Daily Shot assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, misdelivery or failure to store any Content or personalization settings. User understands that certain functionality and portions of the Platform or other Services may only be available to certain parties and that not all functionality and portions of the Platform or other Services may be available to all Users. Any new features that augment or enhance the current Platform or Services (including any Premium Features from time to time requested by a User) shall be subject to these Terms of Use.
We do not warrant or make any representations concerning the accuracy, completeness, timelessness or reliability of the Content included in the Platform or any of our other Services, nor do we guarantee that any omissions or errors in any portion of our Platform or other Services will be corrected. Given the amount of Content we publish on a daily basis, typos and errors should be expected from time to time. Also, while the Platform contains elements of news and research, it is neither. This Platform is essentially a blog, and all the comments represent the author’s opinion. Images and comments in the Platform, including third-party images, may be considered biased or objectionable for some Users. Unlike the mass-media financial publications, we generally do not “sugarcoat” the materials presented. Additionally, charts included in the Platform are for illustration purposes and may not fully capture the extent and scope of economic and market movements and trends, and therefore could be interpreted as misleading.
3.6 Equipment and Requirements. User acknowledges that certain portions or features of the Services may not be fully accessible or functional without: (i) a working computer or mobile device; a working Internet connection; (iii) a user account and/or an access/activation code or payment for Premium Features or any other Services that require payment; and (iv) other system elements, specifications, technology and/or equipment that may be specified by Daily Shot from time to time. It is User’s responsibility to ensure that User has all required system elements. User understands and agrees that temporary interruptions of the Services may occur as normal events. Daily Shot may use third party providers to store, manage, and authenticate accounts and content, and to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to run the Services. We are not responsible for possible issues caused by third party faults or discontinued services. Daily Shot does not guarantee or warrant that any Content that you save, store or access through the Services will not be subject to inadvertent damage, corruption, or loss.
3.7 Maintenance. Without limiting any of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, User acknowledges that Daily Shot may perform maintenance on the Services from time to time (when and as needed as determined by Daily Shot in its sole discretion), which may result in service interruptions, delays, or errors. Daily Shot will not be liable for any such interruptions, delays, errors or bugs.
3.8 Reservation of Rights. You acknowledge and agree that the Platform and other Services are provided under license, and not sold, to you. You do not acquire any ownership interest in the Platform or Services under these Terms of Use, or any other rights thereto other than to use the Services in accordance with the license granted, and subject to all terms, conditions, and restrictions, under these Terms of Use. Daily Shot and its licensors and service providers (including the Content Providers) reserve and shall respectively retain their entire right, title, and interest in and to the Services, including all copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights therein or relating thereto, except as expressly granted to you in these Terms of Use.
3.9 Publication & Delivery. We strive to circulate the Newsletter at least 240 days a year. The Newsletter will typically not be published on weekends, around US bank holidays, and on days when the New York Stock Exchange is closed. Subscribers should expect pauses in Services around Christmas/New Year’s holidays, Easter holidays, late August, and around Thanksgiving holiday. Service pauses will typically be announced in the Newsletter and on the Site. However, Newsletter distribution may be subject to arbitrary interruptions beyond our control, including but not limited to the author’s illness. We also make no guarantees regarding daily delivery times for the Newsletter. Given the tremendous amount of time it takes to produce the Newsletter and depending on global events, the Newsletter may be circulated any time between midnight and 6 AM EST. The purpose of the Newsletter is not to provide timely investment/trading advice, and Users should not expect the letter to arrive before the opening of specific markets (such as the London Stock Exchange or Euronext).
3.10 Inbox Access Responsibility. The Newsletter is unlike many other newsletters and daily email summaries. The large volume of images and URL links (to a wide variety of websites) included in the Newsletter makes it a target for spam filters and zealous network administrators. Since the length of the Newsletter and the external links change every day, spam filters can appear to block the Newsletter at random. It can be particularly challenging to get the Newsletter through the network security of some corporations (especially in Europe). Moreover, in some situations, email service providers such as Optimum and Comcast block the Newsletter from getting to their clients’ inboxes. In many instances, solutions or workarounds are available to overcome these challenges (see Technical Issues Q&A), but ultimately it is the responsibility of the User to make sure that the Newsletter reaches their inbox.
3.11 Conflicts. Our editors, principals, employees, or contractors may or may not have a financial interest in any of the securities or financial instruments discussed in the Platform or otherwise referenced by the Services.
4. Electronic Contracting and User Notices.
User’s affirmative act of viewing or using any portion of the Platform, or any of the other Services (including, without limitation, submitting any forms or communications to Daily Shot via the Site) constitutes User’s electronic signature to these Terms of Use and User’s consent to enter into agreements with Daily Shot electronically. User also agrees that Daily Shot may, but has no obligation to, send to User in electronic form any privacy or other notices, disclosures, reports, documents, communications or other records regarding the Services (collectively, “Notices”). Daily Shot can send User electronic Notices (i) to the e-mail address that User provided to Daily Shot (if any), or (ii) by posting the Notice through the Platform. The delivery of any Notice from Daily Shot is effective when sent or posted by Daily Shot, regardless of whether User reads or views the Notice when User receives it or whether User actually receives the delivery. User can withdraw User’s consent to receive Notices electronically by discontinuing User’s use of the Services. User can retrieve an electronic copy of this contract by clicking on the “Terms of Use” link on the Site. All contracts completed electronically will be deemed for all legal purposes to be in writing and legally enforceable as a signed writing.
All questions, comments, claims or other notices to Daily Shot shall be in writing and shall be made either via email or conventional mail to the addresses set forth below, or using any contact functions made available via the Platform.

5.8 Not for Printing. The Newsletter is designed to be viewed on a computer or mobile device and is not suitable for printing. A typical Daily Shot printout will not be properly formatted, will be difficult to read, and can take up 70-100 printed pages. The Newsletter will also not render well in PDF.

7. Termination.

Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity may be grounds for terminating User’s relationship and may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. In addition, User acknowledges that Daily Shot will cooperate fully with investigations of violations of systems or network security at other sites. Upon termination or suspension, regardless of the reasons therefore, User’s right to access and use the Platform or any of the other Services immediately ceases, and User acknowledges and agrees that Daily Shot may immediately deactivate or delete User’s account (if applicable) and all related information and files in User’s account and/or bar any further access to such files, the Platform, and the other Services. Daily Shot shall not be liable to User or any third party for any claims or damages arising out of any termination or suspension or any other actions taken by Daily Shot in connection therewith. Applicable provisions of this Agreement shall survive any termination.
8. Third Party Sites, Materials and Information. The Platform and other portions of the Services may link Users to other sites on the Internet or otherwise include or reference third-party articles, websites, social media accounts/posts, and documents (“Third Party Materials”).
For instance, the Newsletter includes third-party charts, tables, quotes and other similar Content.

Upon a request by Daily Shot, User agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Daily Shot and Daily Shot’s Affiliates harmless from all liabilities, amounts, damages, claims, alleged claims, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, that arise from, are related to or otherwise are connected with (i) User’s use or misuse of any portion of the Platform and/or any of the other Services; (ii) any misrepresentation, fraud or other act or omission that is inconsistent with any requirements of the Platform or any agreements entered into between Daily Shot and User; (iii) any breach of any provision of these Terms of Use; (iv) any violation of applicable law by User; (vi) any violation of any intellectual property rights by User, whether Daily Shot’s rights or those of a third party; and (vii) any claims from any third parties that may be impacted by or arise from your use of the Services. Daily Shot reserves the right, at Daily Shot’s own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by User, in which event User will cooperate with Daily Shot in asserting any available defenses.
13. International Use.
Although the Platform and/or other Services may be accessible worldwide, Daily Shot makes no representation that (i) use of, or Content on, the Platform or any other Services are appropriate or available for use in locations outside the United States, and (ii) use of the Platform, or any other Services, or Content on the Platform or made available via the Services, are compliant with foreign law. Users who choose to access the Platform or other Services from other locations do so on User’s own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws and requirements. Any offer for any product, service, and/or information made in connection with the Platform, or with any of the other Services is void where prohibited.
14. Law; Venue.
User agrees that the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms of Use and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between User and Daily Shot, except as otherwise stated in these Terms of Use. All claims under these Terms of Use or related to User’s relationship with the Platform or the other Services shall be brought in New York, New York.
15. Arbitration
15.1 Agreement to Arbitrate. This Section is referred to as the “Arbitration Agreement.” User agrees that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between User and Daily Shot, whether arising out of or relating to this Agreement or in connection with Users use of the Platform or other Services, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that User may assert individual claims in small claims court, if User’s claims qualify. User agrees that, by agreeing to this Agreement, User and Daily Shot are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. User’s rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Arbitration Agreement shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate; provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement.
15.2 Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. User and Daily Shot agree that each may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both User and Daily Shot agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s).
15.3 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. Daily Shot is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most concerns can be resolved quickly and to the participant’s satisfaction by emailing Daily Shot’s support team at [email protected]. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Daily Shot should be sent to Daily Shot at 123 Hawthorne Dr., Milford, PA 18337, USA Attn: Lev Borodovsky (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Daily Shot and User do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, User or Daily Shot may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Daily Shot or User shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which User or Daily Shot is entitled.
v15.4 Arbitration Procedures. Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under this Agreement and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. Unless Daily Shot and User agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If User’s claim is for $10,000 or less, Daily Shot agrees that User may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If User’s claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
15.5 Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
15.6 Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
15.7 Severability. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement other than clause 16.2 above is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of clause 16.2 is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of this Agreement will continue to apply.
16. Entire Agreement.
These terms and conditions together with the Privacy Policy (including all addendums thereto) constitute the entire agreement and understanding between Daily Shot and User concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the parties with respect thereto. These Terms of Use may NOT be altered, supplemented, or amended by the use of any other document(s). Any attempt to alter, supplement or amend this document or to enter an order for products or services which are subject to additional or altered terms and conditions shall be null and void, unless otherwise agreed to in a written agreement signed by User and Daily Shot. To the extent that anything in or associated with the Platform or any other Services is in conflict or inconsistent with these Terms of Use, these Terms of Use shall take precedence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any submission or screen on the Platform related to pricing or otherwise agreed to by User related to usage limitations or pricing for the Services shall supplement these Terms of Use and apply to the User.
17. General.
17.1 Assignment. User may not assign User’s rights and obligations under these Terms of Use to any third party, and any purported attempt to do so shall be null and void. Daily Shot may freely assign Daily Shot’s rights and obligations under these Terms of Use and transfer, assign or novate these Terms of Use.
17.2 Force Majeure. In addition to any excuse provided by applicable law or under this Agreement, Daily Shot shall be excused from liability for non-delivery or delay in delivery of products and services available through the Platform arising from any event beyond Daily Shot’s reasonable control, whether or not foreseeable by either party, including but not limited to, labor disturbance, war, fire, accident, pandemic, adverse weather, inability to secure transportation, governmental act or regulation, and other causes or events beyond Daily Shot’s reasonable control, whether or not similar to those which are enumerated above.
17.3 Enforceability; Severability. If any part of these Terms of Use is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
17.4 No Waiver. Any failure by Daily Shot to enforce or exercise any provision of these Terms of Use or related rights shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision or a waiver of Daily Shot’s right to enforce or exercise any such provision of these Terms of Use in the future.
17.5 Intended Beneficiaries. These Terms of Use are strictly between Daily Shot and User. There are no intended third party beneficiaries of these Terms of Use.
17.6 Use of Words. The term “including” as used in these Terms of Use shall mean “including, without limitation,” unless the context otherwise requires.
