Terms Of Use

Last amended November 17th, 2023

Please read the following terms of use (“Terms Of Use”) before accessing or using mezziapp.com, mezzi.com, the Mezzi app or any related apps or services (collectively the “App” or “Services”). Regardless of whether or not you register for an account, by using the App you agree to the terms herein, which constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Stocktalk, Inc., doing business under the name Mezzi (and is referred to as “Mezzi” in this document).  If you do not agree to these terms, you should not use the App.

We are constantly trying to improve our Services, so these Terms may need to change along with the Services. We reserve the right to change the Terms at any time, but if we do, we will bring it to your attention by placing a notice on the mezzi.com website, by sending you an email, and/or by some other means.

If you decide you do not agree with these terms it is your responsibility to cease using the App and to cancel any ongoing subscriptions to it.

Scope

These Terms of Use govern how and under what conditions you may access and use this App and the content within it (collectively, the “Content”). These Terms of Use establish the legally binding terms users must accept to use the App, including users who are unregistered users, registered users, or paying subscribers. The term “Subscriber” means a person who provides information to Mezzi to use the App in any manner, whether such person uses the App for free as an unregistered user, a registered user, or a paying subscriber. These Terms of Use incorporate by reference (i) our Privacy Policy, and (ii) additional terms, if any, disclosed and agreed to by you if you become a registered user or paying subscriber. By accessing the App, you accept these Terms of Use and consent to have these Terms of Use and any applicable notices referenced herein provided to you in electronic form. This App, and the Content contained therein, is the exclusive property of Mezzi, its affiliates and/or their suppliers and licensors.

Subscription

You may register and create an account at no cost. You may also use Mezzi without registering. As an unregistered user or a registered user who has not subscribed, you may use some, but not all, of the features, services and Content available through the App. To access or use additional features, services and Content, you must become a paying subscriber to the App. The subscription terms that are disclosed to you when you subscribe to the App are a part of these Terms of Use. You acknowledge and agree that if you are an unregistered user or registered user who has not paid, you will not have access to the full features, services, and Content of the App.

As a user Mezzi may require that you submit certain Personal Information (as defined in the Privacy Policy), including but not limited to your name, email address, and portfolio information (where relevant). You agree that maintaining and updating this Personal Information with us is a prerequisite for receiving the Content on Mezzi and take responsibility for its accuracy.

Proprietary information

Mezzi is not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (or with the securities regulatory authority or body of any state or any other jurisdiction) as an investment adviser, broker-dealer or in any other capacity, and does not purport to provide investment advice or make investment recommendations by or through the Content found on the App or otherwise. The App and the Content are provided for the sole purpose of enabling you to conduct investment research and direct your own investment activities.

You agree and acknowledge that:

All Content accessed through this site is the Intellectual Property of Mezzi, or of the party that created and/or licensed the Content to Mezzi, and such Content is protected by copyright, trademark, trade dress and other intellectual property laws. No rights or title to any of the Intellectual Property contained on this site shall be considered transferred or assigned to you at any time. Subject to all applicable laws, you expressly agree that you will only use the Content for its limited purpose and will not copy, distribute, republish, modify, create derivative works of, or otherwise use the Content in any unauthorized way, without the prior written consent of Mezzi in each instance, except that you may share Content via the Mezzi sharing feature where applicable.

Any and all such Intellectual Property rights (including, but not limited to, copyrights, trade secrets, database rights, trademark rights, trade dress rights, rights to trade names, service marks and other product and service names and logos) associated with the Content are, and shall remain, the sole and exclusive property of Mezzi, its affiliates and/or their suppliers and licensors.

All graphics, icons, and other items that appear on the App may be registered or unregistered trademarks, service marks or trade dress (collectively, the “Marks”) of Mezzi, or other entities that have granted Mezzi the right and license to use such Marks, and may not be used or interfered with in any manner without the express written consent of Mezzi or the appropriate third-party owner of such Marks. Except as otherwise expressly authorized by these Terms of Use, you may not copy, reproduce, retransmit, distribute, disseminate, sell, publish, broadcast or circulate the Intellectual Property of the App in any way without Mezzi’ or the appropriate third party’s prior written consent. Except as expressly provided herein, Mezzi does not grant to you any express or implied rights to Mezzi’ or any third party’s Intellectual Property.

Any breach hereof by you may be enforced by Mezzi, its affiliates and/or their suppliers and licensors by means of equitable relief (including, but not limited to, injunctive relief) in addition to any other rights and remedies that may be available. Actual or attempted illegal or unauthorized use of the App, Marks or any Content are strictly prohibited and may result in criminal and/or civil prosecution.

Mezzi grants you a limited, personal, nontransferable, nonexclusive, revocable license to access and use the App and the Content only in the manner presented by Mezzi and conditioned upon your compliance with these Terms of Use. The App and the Content contained therein may only be used for your personal use. Except to the extent required by law, or as expressly provided herein, none of the Content or any component of the App may be reverse-engineered, modified, reproduced, republished, translated into any language or computer language, re-transmitted in any form by any means, resold or redistributed without the prior written consent of Mezzi. You may not make, sell, offer for sale, modify, reproduce, display, publicly perform, import, distribute, retransmit or otherwise use the Content in any way, unless expressly permitted to do so by Mezzi.

Accounts, passwords and security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the username and password you designate during the registration process, and you are solely responsible for all activities that occur under your username and password. You agree to notify Mezzi immediately upon your becoming aware of any unauthorized use of your username and password or any other breach of security involving your account. You further agree to keep any registration information you provide Mezzi current, complete and accurate.

Paid subscriptions

Mezzi bills you through your online account (your “Billing Account”) for subscribing to the App. You agree to pay Mezzi all charges at the prices you agreed to for subscribing to the App by using your Billing Account, and you authorize Mezzi to charge your chosen payment provider (your “Payment Method”) for subscribing to the App. You agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method. If you initiate a chargeback or otherwise reverse a payment made with your Payment Method, Mezzi may in its discretion terminate your account immediately.

Your subscription will continue indefinitely until canceled by you. After your initial subscription period, your subscription will automatically renew for an additional equivalent period, at the price you agreed to when subscribing; provided, however, Mezzi reserves the right to increase the subscription fee at any time upon 30 days’ notice to you. By subscribing, you authorize Mezzi to charge your Payment Method at the beginning of your initial subscription period and any subsequent subscription period. Your subscription will not begin until all charges have been processed. You also authorize Mezzi to charge you for any sales or similar taxes that may be imposed on your subscription payments. If you do not wish for your subscription to automatically renew or if you wish to cancel your subscription, you may cancel your subscription through the subscription management link under the Profile menu of the App, or by providing us with written notice at help@mezzi.com, no less than 30 days in advance of any renewal subscription period.

You must provide current, complete and accurate information for your Billing Account. You must promptly update all information to keep your Billing Account current, complete and accurate (such as change in billing address, card number or expiration date), and you must promptly notify Mezzi if your Payment Method is canceled, or if you become aware of a potential breach of security (such as an unauthorized disclosure or use of your username or password).

Content posted by you on the site

You retain ownership of all Content that you submit, post, display, or otherwise make available on the App. All content you post on the App is public by default unless the App indicates that it is private information.  Your own financial information, such as information from brokerage and bank accounts you connect to Mezzi, is always private by default.

If in the course of providing technical support or other maintenance of the App it becomes necessary for Mezzi to view your private information, such viewing will be restricted to the very specific technical purpose.

By posting your Content in the App, you hereby grant to us a worldwide, sublicensable, assignable, royalty-free, fully paid, perpetual, irrevocable right and license to use, reproduce, modify, translate, distribute, create derivative works of, perform, display, import, and otherwise exploit, without the requirement to make any payment to you or the need to seek any third party permission, such Content in any form, media, or technology, whether now known or hereafter devised or developed, and to allow others to do the same, but at all times, in accordance with Mezzi’s Privacy Policy. You represent that (i) you have the right to provide the Content to Mezzi for purposes of your grant of the license that you have granted to Mezzi and other Subscribers in the preceding sentence of this paragraph and (ii) all Content is true, accurate, current and complete.

Privacy

The privacy of your financial information is of utmost importance to Mezzi.  Please review our Privacy Policy for more information about how we collect and use your data.

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") requires that online service providers obtain parental consent before they knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from children under 13; if you are a child under 13, please do not attempt to register for the Services or send any personal information about yourself to us. If we learn we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 13 may have provided us personal information, please contact us at help@mezzi.com.

Artificial intelligence

Mezzi may offer you Services such as recommendations or predictions that are generated by Artificial Intelligence models. These services will be clearly marked as such and are referred to as "AI Services").

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are rapidly evolving fields of study. Given the probabilistic nature of machine learning, use of AI Services may in some situations result in incorrect or inaccurate information.

As with all information provided by or obtained from our Services, the information provided by AI Services does not constitute or substitute for financial advice of any kind, nor any other type of advice from qualified professionals. Accordingly, you must verify the accuracy of any information that you receive through AI Services with a qualified professional before relying on any such information.

You acknowledge that relying upon any information generated through AI Services without first verifying the accuracy of such information with a qualified human could cause harm, including but not limited to legal, financial, and physical harm.

Tax insights

From time to time, Mezzi may offer you insights, calculations, estimates, or recommendations based on our information about your financial situation.  However, Mezzi does not have a full picture of your financial life, nor does Mezzi understand the specifics of your tax jurisdiction.  Therefore you are responsible for consulting with a tax professional before making any decisions that affect your taxes.  In addition, you are responsible for determining the accurate amount you owe in taxes and remitting that amount to the applicable tax authorities.  Mezzi does not and cannot know what you actually owe in taxes and cannot remit tax payments to the relevant authorities.

Restrictions on use of the site

You agree to use the App in strict compliance with all applicable laws, rulings and regulations. Mezzi does not represent that the materials on the App, including the Content, are appropriate or available for use in any particular location. If you access the App including the Content therein, you are solely responsible for compliance with the laws of your local jurisdiction and any other applicable laws regarding the import, export, or re-export of the Content.

In addition to other restrictions set forth in these Terms of Use, you agree that (a) you will not use the Content or any portion of the App as part of any intranet or other internal network; (b) you will not create archival or derivative works based on the Content or any portion thereof; (c) you will not use or access the App, in Mezzi’ judgment, that adversely affects the performance or function of the App, or interferes with the ability of authorized parties to access the App; (d) you will not use or attempt to use any “deep-link”, “scraper”, “robot”, “bot”, “spider” “data-mining”, “computer code” or any other automated device, program, tool, algorithm, process, or methodology or manual process having similar processes or functionality, to access, acquire, copy, or monitor any portion of the App, the Content found on or accessed through the App, or any user content without the prior express written consent of Mezzi; (e) you will not obtain or attempt to obtain through any means any Content on the App that has not been intentionally made publicly available, either by their public display on the App or through their accessibility by a visible link on the App; (f) you will not violate any measure employed to limit to prevent access to the App or the Content; (g) you will not violate the security of the App or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App, the Content, or data, materials, information, computer systems or networks connected to any Mezzi server, through hacking, password mining or any other means; (h) you will not interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the App or any activities conducted on or through the App, including accessing any Content prior to the time that it is intended to be available to the public on the App; (i) you will not take or attempt to take any action that, in the sole discretion of Mezzi, imposes or may impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load or burden on the App or the Mezzi infrastructure; and (j) certain areas of the App are restricted to paying customers of Mezzi.

Links to other websites from this site

The App may contain links to websites and resources, through hypertext or other computer links, operated by third parties other than Mezzi (collectively, the “Linked Apps”). These Linked Apps are provided solely for your reference and convenience, and not as an endorsement by Mezzi of the content on such Linked Apps or the operator or operation of such Linked Apps. Mezzi makes no representations or warranties regarding the correctness, accuracy, performance or quality of any content found on any Linked App. Mezzi is not responsible for the availability of the Linked Apps or the content or activities of such Linked Apps. If you decide to access Linked Apps, you do so at your own risk. You agree that Mezzi shall have no liability to you or any other person or entity for the use of third party Linked Apps. In addition, your use of Linked Apps may be subject to any applicable policies and terms and conditions of use posted on such Linked Apps.

Notifications and user communication

By using the Services or providing personal information to us, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of the Services. We may give notice by any means of communication reasonably anticipated to notify you of the information provided. You agree that all notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing or be delivered in a particular manner. You agree that you have the ability to store such electronic communications such that they remain accessible to you in an unchanged form. If we learn of a security system’s breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically by posting a notice on the App or sending an email to you, if we have your email address. You may have a legal right to receive this notice in writing. To receive free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent from receiving electronic notices), please write to us at help@mezzi.com.

When you register with Mezzi, Mezzi will send you automatic and voluntary push notifications based on the notification preferences you have selected (“Notifications”). Some Notifications may be turned on by default. By using the Services, you agree to receive Notifications regarding your use of the Services. While Notifications are intended to enhance your use of the Services, you may disable Notifications on your device. Depending on which Notifications you elect to receive, Notifications may contain sensitive information.

If you wish to remove yourself from any email list, please email us at help@mezzi.com with “UNSUBSCRIBE” in the subject line, or click the “unsubscribe” link in an email you have received from us.

Mezzi cannot control certain factors relating to message delivery. We may not be able to transmit a Notification to you in a timely and accurate manner. We have no liability for transmission delays or Notification failures, for any erroneous content in a Notification, or for any actions taken or not taken in reliance on a Notification.

Third-party content

A portion of the Content contained on the App may be supplied by third parties, including Subscribers (“Third-Party Content”). Mezzi is a distributor (and not a publisher) of such Third-Party Content. Except to the extent that Mezzi seeks to enforce its rights under any of the terms of these Terms of Use, Mezzi does not have editorial control over any Third-Party Content. Any opinions, advice, statements, services, offers, or other information or content expressed or made available by third parties, including information providers, Subscribers or any other user of the App, are those of the respective author(s) or distributor(s) and not of Mezzi. Any reliance you place on Third-Party Content is therefore at your own risk. Neither Mezzi nor any third-party provider or distributor of information guarantees the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any Content accessible through the App, nor its merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose. Please seek the advice of professionals, as appropriate, regarding the evaluation of any specific information, opinion, advice or other Content accessible through the App.

Termination

These Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect while you use the App and/or are a Subscriber. You agree that Mezzi, in its sole discretion, may terminate or suspend your use of the App or your subscription, at any time if Mezzi has a reasonable basis to believe that you are accessing or using the App and/or Content in violation of these Terms of Use. Upon such suspension or termination, you will not be entitled to any refund of unused subscription fees. Upon suspension or termination, you must immediately (a) discontinue use of the App, and (b) destroy any copies you have made of any portion of the App or the Content. Accessing the App after such termination or suspension shall constitute an act of trespass. Further, you agree that Mezzi shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination or suspension of your access to the App and/or the Content. The Terms of Use shall survive any such termination or suspension. If you cancel your subscription in accordance with these Terms of Use, you will maintain your subscription benefits until the end of your then-current subscription commitment, following which your subscription benefits will expire. However, in no event will you be eligible for a refund of any portion of the subscription fees paid for the then-current subscription period.
