End User License Agreement

1. License Grant

Subject to this EULA and payment of any applicable fee, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the Software for your own personal trading or evaluation purposes. How long the license lasts depends on how you obtained the Software, as set out in Section 12 of the Terms of Service: through the DS Essentials Vault membership, for as long as that membership remains active and paid; through a one-time purchase, for the operational lifetime of the Provider (“Lifetime,” as defined in the Terms of Service); and for a product offered at no charge, until the license ends under Section 11.

This is a license, not a sale. We retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software.

2. Licensed Account

Each license is issued to one NinjaTrader account: the account whose email address you gave at checkout (the “Licensed Account”). You may use the Software on any computer on which you sign in to NinjaTrader with the Licensed Account. The license may be used only by you, through the Licensed Account.

A DS Essentials Vault membership is one license for every product in the vault. You may download each product on its own or the whole vault in one archive; the same license runs either.

If you entered your NinjaTrader email incorrectly at checkout, or the email on your NinjaTrader account changes, contact support@dsuniverse.net and we will correct it and activate the license on your correct NinjaTrader account. Any other move of a license to a different NinjaTrader account belonging to you is at our discretion. A license may not be transferred to another person.

Products offered at no charge are not issued to a NinjaTrader account. They carry no license check, and you may use them on any computer on which you run NinjaTrader, for your own use. Every other part of this EULA applies to them.

3. Activation

Licenses for paid products are issued through NinjaTrader's vendor licensing system and are activated by hand. Activation is not instant. Until the license on your Licensed Account is active, the Software does not run and NinjaTrader shows a notice that a license is required. Once it is active, restart NinjaTrader once and the Software runs. Products offered at no charge need no activation: they run as soon as they are imported. Builds of those products released before October 10, 2026 checked for a license; current builds do not.

4. Restrictions

You may not, and may not permit any third party to:

• Resell, sublicense, lease, rent, lend, distribute, or otherwise make the Software available to any third party;
• Copy, reproduce, or redistribute the Software or any portion of it, except for a single reasonable backup copy;
• Decompile, disassemble, reverse-engineer, or attempt to derive the source code, structure, algorithms, or underlying logic of any compiled component, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
• Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works based on the Software for the purpose of redistribution or commercial exploitation;
• Remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices, branding, or attribution contained in the Software;
• Share your NinjaTrader account, license, or download links with anyone else, or let anyone else use the Software through your Licensed Account;
• Circumvent, disable, or interfere with the license verification of the Software;
• Use the Software to develop a competing product or service.

These restrictions apply equally to any product made available at no charge.

5. Updates

Later versions we release of a product you have licensed are included at no extra charge for as long as your license lasts, and are governed by this EULA. This is the update entitlement stated at the point of sale for the purposes of Section 12 of the Terms of Service. We are under no obligation to release updates or to maintain compatibility with future NinjaTrader or operating-system versions.

6. Ownership

All intellectual property rights in the Software — including source code, compiled code, methodologies, visual designs, naming, documentation, branding, the “DS Universe” mark, and the name of every individual product — are and remain the exclusive property of the Provider. This EULA does not transfer any ownership rights to you.

7. Third-Party Platform and Data

The Software is built for and depends on the NinjaTrader 8 platform, version 8.1.8.1 or newer. You are responsible for obtaining, licensing, and maintaining a valid NinjaTrader installation and any market data feeds you need. We are not responsible for changes to the NinjaTrader platform, the NinjaScript API, or third-party data that affect the Software.

DS GEX uses publicly available, delayed options data published by Cboe. DS Bulk Replay Downloader uses Market Replay data served by NinjaTrader. The availability, timeliness, and accuracy of third-party data are outside our control.

8. Not Financial Advice

The Software is a set of technical analysis and charting tools for educational and informational purposes. It is not, and does not provide, financial, investment, trading, tax, or legal advice, and no output of the Software is a forecast, a recommendation, or a guarantee of any result. We are not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, commodity trading advisor, or futures commission merchant. You are solely responsible for your own trading decisions, risk management, position sizing, and trade execution.

9. No Warranty

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of defects, or that it will meet your requirements.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE PROVIDER, ITS OWNERS, AFFILIATES, OR CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY TRADING LOSSES, LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE OR THIS EULA, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE.

For any product made available at no charge, our aggregate liability shall not exceed USD $0. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your license immediately, without notice, if you breach this EULA or the Terms of Service. A license obtained through the DS Essentials Vault membership ends when the membership ends: at the end of the paid period after you cancel, or when it lapses unpaid. Because the license is granted subject to payment of any applicable fee, your license for a purchase or membership also ends if its payment is refunded, reversed, or charged back. When a license ends, you must stop using the Software and delete all copies in your possession.

Should the Provider cease operations, the license and any associated updates, support, and licensing services will end, as described in Section 14 of the Terms of Service. Sections relating to ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law survive termination.

12. Governing Law

This EULA is governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this EULA or the Software shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York.
