The Service is provided for informational and educational purposes only.

2) Research Only — No Investment Advice

License you grant to Valye. You grant Valye a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, and use your User Content only as necessary to operate, provide, secure, and improve the Service, and to comply with law.

Feedback. If you provide suggestions or feedback, you grant Valye the right to use it without restriction or compensation.

14) Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that outputs will be accurate or suitable for any purpose.

15) Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VALYE AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE.

17) Changes to the Service or Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (in whole or part) at any time. We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date above.

Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective means you accept the updated Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of [State of Florida, USA], excluding conflict-of-laws rules.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in [Florida], and you consent to their jurisdiction.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information (California and Certain U.S. States)

Some privacy laws (including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA) define “sell” or “share” broadly to include certain disclosures of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Valye does not sell personal information for money. However, if we use advertising/measurement technologies (such as Google AdSense cookies or similar identifiers) that may be considered “sharing” under applicable law, you may have the right to opt out.

How to opt out

Where to find the opt-out

Authorized agent
If your state law allows, you may designate an authorized agent to submit an opt-out request on your behalf. We may require verification of your identity and proof of the agent’s authority.

Global Privacy Control
Where required by applicable law, we will process opt-out preference signals (such as the Global Privacy Control signal) as a request to opt out of sale/sharing.
