Terms & Conditions

1. The Software

DS Universe is a collection of custom NinjaScript indicators designed for the NinjaTrader 8 platform, offered in the following components:

• Individual indicators and overlays — each named and described at the point of sale.
• Packs and membership tiers — bundles of the above components, as described at the point of sale. A bundle grants access to exactly the components it lists and to nothing else.
• Documentation — the README and reference material supplied with each component, provided at no additional charge.

The specific components included in your access are those listed at the point of sale or download. We may add, modify, retire, or rename components over time at our sole discretion. References in these Terms to "the Software" apply to whichever components you obtain, whether paid or free.

2. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of all applicable fees (where applicable), we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the Software for your own personal trading or evaluation purposes on the number of machines or accounts specified at the point of sale or download, for the term set out in Section 12: for as long as a recurring membership remains active and paid, or for the lifetime described below where you obtained a lifetime license.

Where a lifetime license applies, "Lifetime" means the license continues for the operational lifetime of the Provider and is not subject to recurring fees. It remains in effect until either (a) you breach these Terms, or (b) the Provider ceases operations, as described in Section 14.

This is a license, not a sale of the Software itself. We retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software. No rights are granted except those expressly stated in these Terms.

3. License 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, publish, or distribute your license credentials, keys, or download links;
• Use the Software to develop a competing product or service.

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

4. Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights in the Software — including source code, compiled code, methodologies, scoring engines, visual designs, panel layouts, naming, documentation, branding, and the "DS Universe" mark and the name of every individual component — are and remain the exclusive property of the Provider. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you, whether you obtain paid or free components.

5. Third-Party Platform

The Software is built for and depends on the NinjaTrader 8 platform. NinjaTrader is a third-party product, and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by NinjaTrader Group, LLC or any of its affiliates. You are solely responsible for obtaining, licensing, and maintaining a valid and compatible installation of NinjaTrader 8 and any required data feeds. We are not responsible for changes to the NinjaTrader platform, NinjaScript API, or third-party data feeds that may affect the Software's functionality.

6. No Financial Advice

The Software is a set of technical analysis and charting tools. It is not, and does not provide, financial, investment, trading, tax, or legal advice.

The indicators, signals, scores, dialogue outputs, zones, and visual elements produced by the Software are informational and educational only. They do not constitute a recommendation, solicitation, or offer to buy or sell any futures contract, security, or financial instrument. We are not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, commodity trading advisor, or futures commission merchant. You are solely responsible for all trading and investment decisions you make, and you should consult a licensed professional before making any such decisions.

7. Risk Disclosure

Trading futures and other leveraged instruments involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. You may lose some or all of your invested capital, and in some cases more than your initial deposit. You should not trade with money you cannot afford to lose.

You acknowledge and accept that:

• No indicator, system, or tool can predict market movements or guarantee profitable outcomes;
• Past performance is not indicative of future results;
• Any outputs of the Software may be inaccurate, delayed, incomplete, or in error;
• You bear full responsibility for your own risk management, position sizing, and trade execution.

8. Hypothetical and Simulated Performance Disclaimer

Any performance results, examples, backtests, or illustrations associated with the Software — whether in the Software itself, marketing materials, documentation, or otherwise — are hypothetical or simulated and have inherent limitations. Hypothetical performance results do not represent actual trading, and there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any trading program. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

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. This disclaimer applies fully to any component made available at no charge.

We do not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of defects, or that it will meet your requirements or operate in any combination with other software, hardware, or data feeds you may use.

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 THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE. For any component made available at no charge, for which no fee is paid, 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. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Provider and its owners, affiliates, and contributors from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Software, your trading decisions, or your breach of these Terms.

12. Payment, Licensing Term, Updates, and Support

• Purchase options. Components, packs, and tiers may be offered as a one-time purchase granting a lifetime license, as a recurring membership, or as both. The option you selected, its price, and its billing interval are those shown at the point of sale, payable in USD.
• Memberships. Where you obtain access through a recurring membership, your right to use the Software continues for as long as that membership remains active and paid. If the membership lapses, is cancelled, or is refunded, access to the components granted by it ends. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period unless stated otherwise at the point of sale.
• Lifetime scope. Where you obtain a lifetime license, it entitles you to continued use of the components you obtained for the operational lifetime of the Provider. It does not entitle you to any specific future component, feature, or platform-compatibility guarantee unless that entitlement was expressly stated at the point of sale.
• Updates. Any updates, patches, or new versions we choose to provide are governed by these Terms and are offered at our discretion. We are under no obligation to provide updates or to maintain compatibility with future NinjaTrader or operating-system versions.

13. Refunds — All Sales Final

All sales are final and non-refundable. Because the Software is delivered digitally and can be copied upon delivery, no refunds, exchanges, or credits are provided once download access, license keys, or files have been issued, except where a refund is required by applicable law. By completing your purchase, you expressly acknowledge and consent to this policy. Any component made available at no charge is likewise non-refundable. Where a recurring membership is cancelled, no partial refund is issued for the remainder of the paid period unless required by applicable law.

14. Term and Termination

This license is effective upon delivery and continues for the term set out in Sections 2 and 12, subject to the following:

• Breach. We may suspend or terminate your license immediately, without notice, if you breach any of these Terms. Upon such termination, you must cease all use of the Software and delete all copies in your possession.
• Cessation of operations. Should the Provider cease operations, wind down, or otherwise discontinue the business, the license and any associated updates, support, licensing infrastructure, or services will naturally end. No refund or further obligation of any kind shall arise from such cessation, and the disclaimers and limitations in these Terms continue to apply to any copies you retain.

Sections relating to intellectual property, disclaimers, risk, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law survive termination.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Your continued use of the Software after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Software shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York.

17. Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms, together with any order or purchase documentation, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Provider regarding the Software and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
