License

The Kwanti User license is for individual use only and may not be used to produce the outputs of Kwanti Analytics for other individuals or firms. This license shall be used solely and exclusively by the registered licensee and the login information shall not be shared with other individuals. If you have an administrative assistant (provided the assistant’s usage is limited to portfolio data entry, and the assistant is not an IAR, CIO, para-planner, strategist, and the assistant does not hold a securities registration or provide advice to clients) you may request a courtesy assistant license by emailing support@kwanti.com.

The Kwanti Publisher license may be used to produce outputs for multiple advisors. This license shall be used solely and exclusively by the registered licensee and the login information shall not be shared with other individuals. Upon excessive usage (measured as more than 2,000 accounts, or more than 150 PDF reports per month), Kwanti reserves the right to lock the account and offer that additional PDF credits be purchased.

Kwanti grants the registered licensee a personal, limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use Kwanti Analytics for so long as the license remains in effect. “Use” herein means that the licensee may load, execute and display the Kwanti software. Licensee shall not copy, modify, disable any features, disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer, duplicate, sublicense, resell or otherwise transfer or manipulate Kwanti Analytics, or any part thereof, or the information contained therein. Licensee shall not use or attempt to use any “deep-link”, “scraper”, “robot”, “bot”, “spider” “data-mining” or any other automated program, tool, or methodology or manual process having similar processes or functionality, to access, acquire or copy any portion of Kwanti Analytics.

License Term and Termination

Under Kwanti’s monthly subscription plan, the license is automatically renewed monthly until cancelled by the licensee. Cancellation is effective at the end of the then current billing cycle. Upon cancellation, there is no refund for partial months.

Under Kwanti’s yearly subscription plan, the license is automatically renewed annually until canceled by the licensee. If the license is canceled by the licensee before the end of its term, there is no refund for the remaining months of the subscription unless the cancellation is within the first 30 days of the grant of the license.  If the licensee cancels within the first 30 days of the grant of the license, the amount paid for the remaining months will be refunded less the cost of one month without discount.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Kwanti may terminate, suspend or otherwise limit the license and/or licensee’s access to Kwanti Analytics at any time for any or no reason, with or without notice.  In such event, there will be no refund issued to licensee.
