STRATEGIES
A. Zignals Marketplace: Among the Services provided by Digital
Minds through the Site is an electronic web-based platform for the exchange of Strategies
(and other digital content which shall be further defined from time to time but
which for the purpose of this Agreement shall be included in the definition of Strategies)
between Publishers and Subscribers (the "Zignals Marketplace").
Those Users listing Strategies for sale via the Zignals Marketplace are referred
to as Publishers (the "Publishers"), while those users purchasing
Strategies via the Zignals Marketplace are referred to as Subscribers (the "Subscribers")
with Publishers and Subscribers are collectively defined as "Users".
The function of the Zignals Marketplace is to act as a venue to allow Publishers
to display, offer, market and sell their Strategies to Subscribers. For the avoidance
of doubt, Digital Minds merely provides an exchange facility which operates by linking
and matching Publishers and Subscribers and thereby facilitating trade in Strategies
between such parties. Trade in Strategies shall be by way of a fixed price transactions
between Publishers and Subscribers (the "Transactions"). Digital
Minds is neither involved in Transactions between Users nor does Digital Minds represent
either the Publisher or the Subscriber in Transactions. Digital Minds does not control
and is not liable to or responsible for: (a) the accuracy or reliability of the
Strategies (including the content thereof) included on the Zignals Marketplace;
(b) the quality, safety, lawfulness or availability of the Strategies offered for
sale on the Zignals Marketplace; or (c) the ability of the Publishers or Subscribers
to complete a proposed Transaction. There may be risks of dealing with people acting
deceitfully or under false pretences. Digital Minds does not verify the identity
of Users or the validity of the information which Users post on the Zignals Marketplace.
For this reason We encourage You to use the various tools available on the Site,
as well as common sense, to evaluate with whom You are dealing. You acknowledge
that You are fully assuming the risks of sale when using the Site to conduct Transactions
with Subscribers ("Transaction Risks"). You agree that Digital
Minds shall not be liable or responsible for any damages that may arise a result
of or in connection with any Transaction Risks. Furthermore We are not responsible
for ensuring that Subscribers and Publishers actually complete Transactions. The
offer, sale, purchase, export or import of any Strategy is not valid and legal merely
because it is listed on the Zignals Marketplace, nor do We accept any obligation
to protect Subscribers from unsafe or inappropriate Strategies listed for sale on
the Zignals Marketplace. You are solely responsible for all of the terms and conditions
of the Transactions involving You conducted on, through or as a result of your use
of the Zignals Marketplace, including, without limitation, terms regarding payment,
warranties, fees, taxes, title, licenses and fines. When using this Site, You accept
and agree that Digital Minds is not responsible for the acts or omissions of Users
on the Site. In the event that You have a dispute with any party to a Transaction,
You agree to release and indemnify Digital Minds (and its agents, affiliates, directors,
officers and employees) from all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, costs, expenses
and damages (including without limitation any actual, special, incidental or consequential
damages) arising out of or in connection with such Transaction and that any right,
claim or action You have against any other User arising from that User's use of
the Site, will be pursued independently of and without recourse to Us. For the avoidance
of doubt Digital Minds are not responsible for the continuing subscription by any
Subscribers to any Strategy.
B. Submission of Strategies: You are personally responsible for:
(a) Strategies You submit to Us (including all content and materials comprising
such Strategies); (b) adherence to the terms of this Agreement; and (c) the accuracy
and completeness of your Strategies. You agree to comply with the specifications,
policies and guidelines provided by Digital Minds from time to time to enable proper
delivery and display of your Strategies. You must be a registered User in order
to post Strategies on the Site. Strategies can be created and posted using the self-help
submit and edit tools provided through the Site. Display of a Strategy will depend
on a variety of factors, including but not limited to: relevance, originality, Subscriber
requests, etc. If You include any hyperlinks in the Strategies, You shall be responsible
for ensuring that these hyperlinks will point to reputable websites with non-defamatory
or improper communications and/or material. Your right to provide Strategies to
this Site is subject to any limits established by Digital Minds. Digital Minds has
no obligation to You, and undertakes no responsibility, to review the Strategies
to determine whether any such Strategies may result in any liability to any third
party. Nevertheless Digital Minds reserves the right to edit your Strategies in
their entirety and may also, from time to time, request You to rewrite your Strategies
before they will be displayed. Not all the Strategies You submit will be posted
on the Site and Digital Minds makes no guarantee regarding the making available
of your Strategies or the continuity of your registration as a Publisher. Digital
Minds, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to remove any Strategy, or deny
access by any Users or other individuals to any Strategy, for any reason or no reason.
You retain the right to publish your Strategies in any media at your own discretion,
it is expected that You do not have them published in several Sites, since one of
the objectives of Digital Minds is to be a unique website of investment strategies.
Digital Minds reserves the right in it sole discretion to remove any Strategy displayed
on the Site which it reasonably believes is unlawful, could subject Digital Minds
or Users to liability, violates this Agreement or is, in Digital Minds' opinion,
otherwise inappropriate. Digital Minds reserves the right to cooperate fully with
governmental authorities, private investigators and/or injured third parties in
the investigation of any suspected criminal or civil wrongdoing or breach of this
Agreement. Further, Digital Minds may disclose your identity and contact information,
if requested by a government or law enforcement body, an injured third party, or
as a result of a subpoena or other legal action, and Digital Minds shall not be
liable for damages or results thereof and You agree not to bring any action or claim
against Digital Minds for such disclosure. No sales or commercial agency relationship
is created between You and Digital Minds, our affiliates, directors, officers or
employees by virtue of Digital Minds' display of any of your Strategies on the Site.
Digital Minds is not responsible for any consequences arising from the implementation
of your Strategies by any party, including without limitation, any Subscribers who
purchase your Strategies.
C. Intellectual Property in Strategies: In return for the payment
by Digital Minds of any Sale Proceeds which accrue to You, on the terms set out
in this Agreement, You hereby grant to Digital Minds a royalty-free, unrestricted,
worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, fully transferable, assignable

Agreement and to exercise the copyright, publicity, and database rights You have

the Strategies in advertisements for, and in marketing and promotional materials
related to, the Site; and (c) make derivative works, reproduce, publicly perform

through the Site, including in any media now known or hereafter developed.

claims arising from your breach of the foregoing warranties (including all costs,
claims, damages, losses and expenses arising as a result of any claim or action
that the Strategies or any part thereof infringe Intellectual Property Rights belonging
to a third party).
E. Transaction Rules: Digital Minds will organise a Transaction
upon a Subscriber's request. A sale of a Strategy (a "Sale") takes
place when Digital Minds, acting as escrow agent for the Publisher, receives payment
for the Strategy the subject of the Transaction from the requesting Subscriber.
All costs associated with the Transaction are the sole responsibility of the Publisher
(and shall will be deducted from the Sale Proceeds (as defined below)). On the request
for the purchase of a Strategy by a Subscriber, the Subscriber will immediately
pay Digital Minds a sum equal to the agreed Sale price for the Strategy (the "Sale
Proceeds") and Digital Minds will hold the Sale Proceeds in escrow
for the Publisher pending successful completion of the Transaction. Thereafter Digital
Minds shall release the Strategies to the Subscriber and at that point the Subscriber
shall assume sole responsibility for, and all risk with respect to, the Strategy.
At the same time the Publisher will provide the Subscriber with a Sales invoice
for the Strategy sold. The Sale Proceeds payable to Digital Minds by Subscribers
shall include any applicable taxes. All applicable taxes, if any, that may result
from Subscribers choosing to purchase Strategies from Publishers via this Site are
the sole responsibility of the Subscribers. On a quarterly basis, Digital Minds
will transfer the Sale Proceeds held in escrow to the Publisher (less the Transaction
Fees (as defined below) payable to Digital Minds and any costs associated with the
Transaction). Where the Publisher and the Subscriber are both located in the EU
the Publisher will charge the Subscriber for the Strategies plus applicable VAT
(unless the Subscriber and Publisher are holders of different valid EU VAT registration
numbers, in which case both of these registration numbers will be clearly marked
on the Sales invoice). Where the Publisher is registered for VAT in the EU and the
Subscriber is established outside of the EU, all export and customs requirements
must be satisfied before the Strategy will be released to the Subscriber and the
Sale Proceeds will be released to the Publisher. Where the Subscriber who requested
the Strategy fails to make payment to Digital Minds then the Transaction shall be
cancelled. Digital Minds reserves the right to deny Strategies to any Subscriber
for whatever reason in order to protect the interests of Digital Minds, it affiliates
and any Users.
F. Transaction Fees: The Publisher will pay Digital Minds a fee
of 3.4 percent (%) plus €0.20 of the value of the Sale Proceeds on the terms set out below (the
"Transaction Fee"). The Transaction Fee will be deducted from the
Sale Proceeds to give the net fees payable to the Publisher ("Net Fees").
Digital Minds will notify the Publisher on a quarterly basis of the Sale Proceeds
from all of the Publishers Strategies sold via the Site in the preceding quarter
and the Net Fees payable to the Publisher. All Net Fees are exclusive of VAT. As
a Publisher You shall disclose to Digital Minds whether or not You are registered
for VAT within the European Union. If You are registered, You shall supply Digital
Minds with your VAT registration number and details of your place of registration.
G. Transaction Rules - Publishers: As a Publisher, You must make
certain You are legally entitled to sell all Strategies submitted by You to the
Site. In addition You must ensure that it is lawful to sell such Strategy to the
Subscriber (taking into account the operative laws in the jurisdiction where the
Subscriber is located). As a Publisher You are entitled to engage in Transactions
on the Zignals Marketplace only if You are the actual Publisher of the Strategy
listed. Any form of brokering or agency arrangements whereby You conduct Transactions
on the Zignals Marketplace on behalf of third parties or with the intention of selling
the Strategies on behalf of third parties are strictly prohibited and will not be
tolerated by Digital Minds. Any Publisher found to be engaging in such brokering
or agency practices will immediately have their access to and right to use the Site
and, in particular, the Zignals Marketplace, terminated. You must carefully, accurately
and honestly describe the Strategies being sold. At no point will Digital Minds
be responsible for the description of any Strategy provided by You acting as a Publisher.
You undertake not to engage in any practices that involve the manipulation of the
price of any Strategy or the interference with another Publisher's listing(s). You
undertake not to make direct contact with any Subscriber, without obtaining the
prior written permission of Digital Minds. Without limitation, You must not: (a)
act as a Subscriber in a Transaction where You are the Publisher, or arrange for
any other person to do so on your behalf; (b) independently contact Subscribers
in a listing where Strategies are listed for sale in order to offer similar items
to the Subscriber in that listing; or (c) use a false Publisher ID.
H. Transaction Rules - Subscribers: A Subscriber is legally obliged
to conclude a Transaction with a Publisher for a Strategy on the Zignals Marketplace
if You requests a Strategy listed on the Zignals Marketplace from a Publisher via
the Zignals Marketplace unless: (a) the Transaction is prohibited by this Agreement
or by local or international law; or (b) Digital Minds cannot authenticate the Publisher's
or Subscriber's identity. Subscribers shall agree to be bound by the Sale terms
included in the Strategy or description thereof when buying from a Publisher unless
such Sale terms are in breach of this Agreement or are otherwise unlawful. A Subscriber
is entitled to place purchase requests on the Zignals Marketplace only if it is
the intended Subscriber of the Strategies requested. Any form of brokering or agency
arrangements whereby Users conduct or engage in Transactions or bids on the Zignals
Marketplace on behalf of third parties or with the intention of selling a Strategy
on to third parties are strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated by Digital
Minds. Any Subscriber found to be engaging in such brokering or agency practices
will immediately have their access to and right to use the Site and, in particular,
the Zignals Marketplace, terminated.

material and that the risk of damages from such material rests entirely with You.

and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by You, in which
event You shall cooperate with Digital Minds in invoking any available or appropriate
defences.

SECURITY
You are solely responsible in all respects for all use of and for protecting the
confidentiality of any username, email verification and password ("Login")
that may be given to You or selected by You for access to this Site and the Subscriptions
your purchase. Any Login issued by Us to You is personal and confidential to You.
You may not share with or transfer your Login to any third parties. If We suspect

Minds immediately of any unauthorised use of them or any other breach of security
regarding our Site that comes to your attention.
BLOGS
Blogs, commentary and articles on the Site are provided for informational, educational
and entertainment purposes only. Certain blogs and articles may be available on
the Site without a Subscription while access to other shall require You to purchase
a Subscription to access the content in question. All blogs and articles are part
of Digital Minds's business publications or newsletters of general and regular circulation
and provide standardized, non-customized and non-personalized information that is
not based upon your personal circumstances, needs, objectives or risk tolerances.
GENERAL
A. Dispute Resolution: Disputes between You and Digital Minds regarding
this Site, Your Subscriptions (including Strategies) and/or our Services may be
reported to Digital Minds. For disputes arising between a Subscriber and a Publisher
(the "Transaction Parties") regarding any Transaction resulting
from the Zignals Marketplace, the Transaction Parties shall attempt to have the
dispute resolved by use of a mediation or other alternative dispute resolution ("ADR")
procedure as agreed between the Transaction Parties, each acting in good faith.
Unless otherwise agreed, the Transaction Parties will share equally the costs of
any ADR, and the use of mediation or other ADR procedure shall be without prejudice
to the rights of the Transaction Parties in all respects if the mediation or other
ADR procedure does not achieve an agreed resolution to the dispute. For the avoidance
of doubt, Digital Minds will have no involvement in any ADR procedure and the cost
of such ADR procedure will be fully borne by the Transaction Parties and not by
Digital Minds.
B. Notices: Any notice or other communication under this Agreement
shall only be effective if it is in writing and sent to Digital Minds at the following
address feedback@zignals.com marked for
the attention of Declan Fallon. All
notices or demands to You shall be effective if either delivered personally, sent
by courier, certified mail, by facsimile or email to the last-known correspondence,
fax or email address provided by You to Digital Minds, or by posting such notice
or demand on an area of the Site that is publicly accessible without a charge. Notice
to You shall be deemed to be received by You if and when: (a) Digital Minds is able
to demonstrate that communication, whether in physical or electronic form, has been
sent to You; (b) immediately upon Digital Minds' posting such notice on an area
of the Site that is publicly accessible without charge; or (c) at the latest, twenty-four
(24) hours after an email is sent to You, unless We receive notice that the email
address is invalid and an alternative email address has been provided to Us. As
a registered Publisher, You must notify Digital Minds, and any other parties with
whom You are communicating with arising from a Transaction, of a change to your
notice details. If You have any complaints, You should direct them to Us via email
at feedback@zignals.com.
C. Entire Agreement: This Agreement, the Website Terms and the
Privacy Policy (and any Additional Terms which may apply from time to time on the
terms set out in Clause 2.B above) constitute the entire agreement between You and
Digital Minds with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding any prior written
or oral agreements in relation to the same subject matter. This Agreement will prevail
over any conditions of sale imposed by You whether in relation to a Transaction
or otherwise. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between any provision
of this Agreement and any provision of the Website Terms, such conflict or inconsistency
shall (except as otherwise expressly provided or agreed) be resolved in a manner
favourable to Digital Minds and/or its affiliates, and only to the extent that such
conflict or inconsistency cannot be so resolved, the provisions of this Agreement
shall prevail.
D. No Partnership: You and Digital Minds are independent contractors,
and no agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee
relationship is intended or created by this Agreement.
E. Severability: If a court, or other competent authority, holds
any of the terms of this Agreement to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable,
in whole or part, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this Agreement
and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
Digital Minds will attempt to substitute the unenforceable clause with a valid and
enforceable provision, which achieves to the greatest extent possible the economic,
legal and commercial objectives of the invalid or unenforceable provision.
F. Interpretation: Headings are for reference purposes only and
in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section.
Unless the context otherwise requires, words importing the singular include the
plural and vice versa, words importing the masculine include the feminine and vice
versa and words importing persons include corporations and vice versa. Any reference
to a day, week, month or year shall be taken as a reference to a calendar day, week,
month or year.
G. No Waiver: Digital Minds' failure to exercise or delay in exercising
a right or remedy provided by this Agreement or by law does not constitute a waiver
of those or any other rights or remedies.
H. Assignment: Digital Minds shall have the right to assign its
obligations and duties under this Agreement to any person or entity. You do not
have the right to assign your obligations and duties under this Agreement without
the prior written consent of Digital Minds.
I. Law and Jurisdiction: This Agreement is governed by, and shall
be construed in accordance with, the laws of Ireland. The courts of Ireland have
exclusive jurisdiction to hear and decide any suit, action or proceedings, and to
settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement
and, for these purposes, each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the
courts of Ireland. Your country and/or that of any User You communicate or trade
with on this Site may have laws which apply to Transactions with other Users. These
laws may apply regardless of what You agree with any User or with Digital Minds
and as a result there may be additional legal requirements applicable to your use
of the Service and the Site to what is stated in this Agreement. You agree to conform
and comply with all applicable domestic and international laws and regulations regarding
your use of the Site and the Services including, without limitation, regarding the
listing, purchasing, solicitation and conclusion of Transactions.
