These Terms govern your use of the Capital Preferences Solutions and form a legal contract between you and Capital Preferences Ltd. (“Capital Preferences”, “we” or “us”). If you are an individual accepting these Terms on behalf of a company or entity, then you are binding the company or entity to these Terms and represent and warrant that you have full power and authority to do so. Capital Preferences may modify these Terms from time to time as described in Section 13 (Modifications to Terms) below.

1. Introduction.

Thank you for using the Capital Preferences Solutions! Capital Preferences Solutions are designed for use by qualified financial professionals such as you (“Firm” or “you”) to better understand the preferences and investment goals of their clients (“Clients”). By using any Capital Preferences Solutions, you certify that you are a licensed investment advisor, and that if you choose to make investment decisions for your Clients in reliance on any Client Reports, you do so at your own risk.

2. The Capital Preferences Solutions.

  1. Client Access to Decision Games. By purchasing a subscription to the Capital Preferences Solutions, subject to the Order Terms (as defined below), you will be able to provision a designated number of your Clients with access to Decision Games. “Decision Games” are interactive games designed to measure individuals’ estimated risk, time, ambiguity, distributional and other preferences through hypothetical tradeoff scenarios and similar exercises. The Decision Games will be hosted by Capital Preferences, and their use by Clients will be governed by the Capital Preferences Terms of Service and Privacy Policy (“Capital Preferences Terms”). The Capital Preferences Terms will likewise govern any data collected by Capital Preferences through Decision Games.
  2. Client Reports. Once a Client has completed the Decision Game, Capital Preferences will score that Client’s preferences to create an individual Client profile, or “Economic Fingerprint”, which Capital Preferences uses to generate a Client report (each, a “Client Report”). Client Reports will be delivered to you through our Reporting Tools (as described below) and may include non-Capital Preferences content that you have provided to us (e.g., your own content). You may use the Client Reports for your own business purposes, subject to Section 5(d) (Firm Obligations) below. You may not alter or remove any Capital Preferences or other branding or proprietary notices on the Client Reports (including without limitation any logos or notices associated with providers of Third Party Data, as defined below) without our prior written consent. You acknowledge and agree that, in the course of a Client’s interaction with the Decision Games, Capital Preferences may also provide information included in a Client Report and other feedback directly to the applicable Client on your behalf.
  3. Reporting Tools. During your subscription term, you will receive access to certain Reporting Tools to administer Client access to Decision Games, retrieve Client Reports and manage your account. “Reporting Tools” consist of Capital Preferences’ online administrator and advisor dashboard, APIs and other reporting tools that we may make available to you from time to time. You may only use the Reporting Tools in accordance with these Terms and any user documentation provided by Capital Preferences. You will not (and will not allow anyone else to): (a) use Reporting Tools except as permitted hereunder; (b) decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the underlying software to any Reporting Tools (unless this restriction is not permitted under applicable law); (c) sell, rent, lease or use any Reporting Tools for time sharing purposes; or (d) remove any copyright or proprietary notices contained in any Reporting Tools.

c. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.

i) Direct Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising from or relating to this Agreement, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, (“Dispute”), the parties will first use their best efforts to resolve the Dispute. If a Dispute arises, the complaining party will provide written notice to the other party in a document specifically entitled “Initial Notice of Dispute,” specifically setting forth the precise nature of the dispute (“Initial Notice of Dispute”). If an Initial Notice of Dispute is being sent to Capital Preferences it must be emailed to legal@capitalpreferences.com and sent via mail to:

Capital Preferences, 148 New Dorp Lane, New York, NY 10306.

Following receipt of the Initial Notice of Dispute, the parties will consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and, recognizing their mutual interest, attempt to reach a just and equitable solution of the Dispute that is satisfactory to both parties (“Direct Dispute Resolution”). If the parties are unable to reach a resolution of the Dispute through Direct Dispute Resolution within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the Initial Notice of Dispute, then the Dispute will subsequently be resolved by arbitration as set forth below.

ii) Arbitration. IN THE EVENT THAT A DISPUTE BETWEEN THE PARTIES CANNOT BE SETTLED THROUGH DIRECT DISPUTE RESOLUTION, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, THE PARTIES AGREE TO SUBMIT THE DISPUTE TO BINDING ARBITRATION. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, THE PARTIES AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration will be conducted before a single neutral arbitrator, before JAMS in San Francisco, California. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS in accordance with this document and the JAMS Streamlined Rules and Procedures for the Arbitration, with one addition: The limitation of one discovery deposition per side will be applied by the arbitrator, unless it is determined, based on all relevant circumstances, that more depositions are warranted. The arbitrator will consider the amount in controversy, the complexity of the factual issues, the number of parties and the diversity of their interests and whether any or all of the claims appear, on the basis of the pleadings, to have sufficient merit to justify the time and expense associated with the requested discovery.

The arbitration will occur in San Francisco, California, but the parties may choose to appear by person, by phone, by another virtual means, or through the submission of documents.

The arbitrator will issue a ruling in writing. Any issue concerning the extent to which any dispute is subject to arbitration, the applicability, interpretation, or enforceability of this agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator. To the extent state law is applicable, the arbitrator will apply the substantive law of California.

All aspects of the arbitration will be treated as confidential and neither the parties nor the arbitrators may disclose the content or results of the arbitration, except as necessary to comply with legal or regulatory requirements. The result of the arbitration will be binding on the parties and judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator will award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration.

iii) Choice of Law and Jurisdiction. FOR ANY CLAIM WHICH IS NOT SUBJECT TO THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION, YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT AND CONSENT TO THE PERSONAL AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION IN, AND THE EXCLUSIVE VENUE OF, THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED WITHIN SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. IN ANY SUCH DISPUTE, CALIFORNIA LAW WILL APPLY.

iv) Construction and Joinder. THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE CONSTRUED AS IF IT WAS JOINTLY WRITTEN BY BOTH PARTIES. BOTH YOU AND CAPITAL PREFERENCES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN THEIR RESPECTIVE INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS. NO ARBITRATION OR CLAIM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY ARBITRATION OR CLAIM INVOLVING ANY OTHER CURRENT OR FORMER USER OF THE SERVICES, AND NO CLASS ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE PERMITTED. IN THE EVENT OF ANY DISPUTE CONCERNING THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION, SUCH CLAIM MUST BE ADJUDICATED BY A COURT AND NOT BY AN ARBITRATOR.

v) Injunctive Relief; Intellectual Property Claims. Notwithstanding the above provisions, (a) Capital Preferences may apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction and (b) Capital Preferences may, in its sole discretion, bring any claim related to its intellectual property rights in the state and federal courts located within San Francisco County, California (and you agree to submit and consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction thereof), in which case California law will apply.

d. Notices. We may send notices to your email on file or through the Capital Preferences Solutions. You may send notices to us at legal@capitalpreferences.com. All notices are effective upon delivery.

e. Force Majeure. Capital Preferences will not be liable to Firm in any way whatsoever for any failure or delay in performance of any of its obligations under these terms arising out of any event or circumstance beyond the reasonable control of Capital Preferences.

f. Independent Contractors. The parties to these Terms are independent contractors. There is no relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or agency created hereby between the parties.
