Important Notice
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Scydex Ltd. (“Portfolio Guardian”, “we”, “us”) products and services including our mobile application and service (“Services”).
BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU AND SCYDEX LTD AGREE TO RESOLVE MOST DISPUTES SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION, ANY OTHER KIND OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, OR BY JURY TRIAL. If you do not agree with these Terms, you may not access or use our Services.
These Terms incorporate by reference to other written policies and documentation that we may provide from time to time. You agree to use our Services in compliance with these Terms. If you use the Services on behalf of another person or entity, (a) all references to “you” throughout these Terms will include, and these Terms will be binding on, that person or entity, (b) you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on that person’s or entity’s behalf, and (c) in the event you violate these Terms, that person or entity agrees to be responsible to us.
Your use of our Services in any manner means that you agree to the Terms. If you do not wish to arbitrate disputes with Scydex Ltd, you may opt out of arbitration by following the instructions provided in Section 13.10.
1. Our Services
As part of the Services, we provide historical market structure analysis and statistical observations to help inform your independent investment research. Our analysis is derived from backward-looking data on institutional price levels, cohort classifications, and structural validation patterns. As part of that, you recognize that:
You may only use our Services in accordance with our Acceptable Use policy. Your access to and use of our Services is conditioned on your compliance with these Terms, including our Acceptable Use policy (as detailed below in “Acceptable Use”).
Important: Portfolio Guardian provides research and data observation only. It does not provide investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, or recommendations to buy, sell, or hold any security. Past performance does not guarantee future results. All investing involves risk, including loss of principal. You are solely responsible for your own investment decisions. Do not rely on our research without fact-checking on your own first or consulting with a qualified financial professional. Our Services do not provide and are not intended to serve as a substitute for financial, legal, or other professional advice.
2. Registering for Our Services
You register for our Services by creating an account within the mobile application. If you do so, you must:

13. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND SCYDEX LTD TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU AND SCYDEX LTD CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER. ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU AND SCYDEX LTD FROM SUING IN COURT OR HAVING A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND SCYDEX LTD AGREE THAT ARBITRATION WILL BE SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION, OR ANY OTHER KIND OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. SCYDEX LTD AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY.
Follow the instructions below, in Section 13.10, if you wish to opt out of the requirement of arbitration on an individual basis.
13.1 Claims This Section Applies To
This Section 13 applies to all Claims between you and Scydex Ltd. A “Claim” is any dispute, claim, or controversy (excluding those exceptions listed in Section 13.3, below) between you and Scydex Ltd, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, for which either party wishes to seek legal recourse and that arises from or relates to these Terms or our Services.
13.2 Informal Dispute Resolution Before Arbitration
If you believe you have a Claim against Scydex Ltd or if Scydex Ltd believes it has a Claim against you, you and Scydex Ltd will first attempt to resolve the Claim informally to try to resolve the Claim more quickly and reduce costs for both parties. You and Scydex Ltd will make a good-faith effort to negotiate the resolution of any Claim for 45 days (“Informal Resolution Period”), from the day either party receives a written notice of a dispute from the other party that satisfies the requirements of this Section 13.2 (a “Claimant Notice”).
You must send any Claimant Notice to Scydex Ltd by certified mail, addressed to Scydex Ltd Attn: Legal Department, 320 City Road, London, England, EC1V 2NZ or by email to legal@scydex.com.
13.3 Claims Subject to Binding Arbitration; Exceptions
Except for individual disputes that qualify for small claims court (provided that the small claims court does not permit class or similar representative actions or relief) and any disputes exclusively related to the intellectual property rights of you or Scydex Ltd, all Claims that are not resolved in accordance with Section 13.2 must be resolved by a neutral arbitrator through final and binding arbitration rather than in court.
13.10 Opting Out of Arbitration
You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted a version of these Terms by emailing legal@scydex.com. To be effective, the opt-out notice must be on your own behalf and include your full name, mailing address, and email address. The notice must also clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration in order to be valid. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with the Choice of Law and Jurisdiction provisions in Section 14.
14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms and any dispute or claim (including any non-contractual dispute or claim) arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of law principles.
The parties shall first seek to resolve any dispute amicably through good-faith negotiations for a period of thirty (30) days from the date one party notifies the other of the dispute. If the dispute is not resolved within that period, it shall be finally settled by arbitration under the Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), which rules are deemed incorporated by reference into this clause. The seat of arbitration shall be London, United Kingdom, and the language of the arbitration shall be English.
The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding upon the parties, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction, including courts in the United States or the United Kingdom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its confidential information, intellectual property, or proprietary rights.
15. Miscellaneous Terms
Violations
Scydex Ltd reserves the sole discretion to determine whether or not a user is in violation of any of the provisions of these Terms.

To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, you will indemnify and hold harmless Scydex Ltd and the other Scydex Ltd Parties from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages (actual and consequential), losses and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or in any way related to any third party claims relating to (a) your access to or use of our Services, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your Content or Feedback, (d) any investment decisions you make based on or informed by data obtained through the Services, or (e) your violation of any rights of another.
Assignment
You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under these Terms, including in connection with a change of control. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of the foregoing sentence shall be null and void. We may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, with or without notice to you.
No Joint Venture or Beneficiaries

Notice shall be considered effective as of the date of receipt.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated, to the minimum extent necessary, so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
Entire Agreement
These Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding between you and us relating to the covered subject matter, and that it supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms.
