SECTION 2: NONPROFESSIONAL SUBSCRIBER
9. NONPROFESSIONAL SUBSCRIBER DEFINITION - -"Nonprofessional Subscriber" means any natural person who receives market data solely for his/her personal, non-business use and who is not a “Securities Professional.” A “Securities Professional” includes an individual who, if working in the United States, is:
(a) registered or qualified with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, any state securities agency, any securities exchange or association, or any commodities or futures contract market or association.
(b) engaged as an "investment advisor" as that term is defined in Section 202 (a) (11) of the Investment Advisor's Act of 1940 (whether or not registered or qualified under that Act), or
(c) employed by a bank or other organization exempt from registration under Federal and/or state securities laws to perform functions that would require him or her to be so registered or qualified if he or she were to perform such functions for an organization not so exempt.
A person who works outside of the United States will be considered a “Securities Professional” if he or she performs the same functions as someone who would be considered a “Securities Professional” in the United States.
Subscriber may not receive Market Data as a “Nonprofessional Subscriber” unless the vendor providing that data to Subscriber first determines that the individual falls within Paragraph 9’s definition of “Nonprofessional Subscriber.”
10. PERMITTED RECEIPT - Subscriber may not receive Market Data from Vendor, and Vendor may not provide Market Data to Subscriber, on a “Nonprofessional Subscriber” basis unless Vendor first properly determines that Subscriber qualifies as a “Nonprofessional Subscriber” as defined in Paragraph 9 and Subscriber in fact qualifies as a “Nonprofessional Subscriber.”
11. PERMITTED USE - If Subscriber is a Nonprofessional Subscriber, he or she shall receive Market Data solely for his or her personal, non-business use.
In order to facilitate a decision as to whether Subscriber qualifies as a "Nonprofessional Subscriber," Subscriber shall answer the questions on this page.
Subscriber shall notify Vendor promptly in writing of any change in his or her circumstances that may cause him or her to cease to qualify as a Nonprofessional Subscriber or that may change his or her response to any of the preceding questions.
12. PERSONAL AND EMPLOYMENT DATA - As a prerequisite to qualifying as a "Nonprofessional Subscriber", Subscriber shall provide the following information on the appropriate fields on this page: Subscriber's name and address, Subscriber's occupations (list all occupations – including homemaker, student, retiree, etc.), Name(s) and address(es) of Subscriber's employer(s), Subscriber's title(s) and/or position(s), Subscriber's employment functions (description).
