Portara LLC, 8 The Green, Suite A, Dover, DE 19901 ("Portara") licenses the historical market data you are buying ("the Data") to you and, if you are buying for a business, that business (together "you"). It is delivered once, as a download of CSV files. No updates or software are included.
1. Your license
Perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable. The Data is licensed, not sold; Portara and its data originators keep all rights in it.
2. Delivery
Data is usually ready within 24hrs of purchase, Monday to Friday not including bank holidays. If it is a larger portfolio, longer wait times will be discussed with you beforehand. Remember Portara is a tailored service so everything is looked at by human eyes and by professional programmers and traders. For one-off purchases, we will email your download link(s) when your data is ready.
3. Where you may use it
Within your organization, by up to five people, on your own computers, servers or cloud instances, with backups as you see fit. If more people need it, tell us and we will quote a team license. Your organization means you and, if you bought for a business, that business and its affiliates (any company that controls it, is controlled by it, or is under common control with it).
4. What you may do
Research, backtesting, model and AI training, live trading. You may publish results, charts, signals and performance figures derived from the Data.
5. What you may not do (License terminates automatically)
Pass the Data — or anything from which it could be substantially reconstructed — to anyone outside your organization. Include it in any product, dataset, feed or service offered to others. Use it to build, populate or improve any service that supplies market data to third parties. If you do any of these, this license terminates automatically and without notice, and you must destroy every copy of the Data in your possession or control. Redistribution licenses may be available separately on request. Clauses 3 to 6 are also for the benefit of the exchanges and other originators of the Data, who may rely on them as intended beneficiaries.
6. Not transferable
This license does not pass by assignment, merger, change of control or sale of assets. An acquirer of your business needs its own license.
7. Warranty
THE DATA IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "WITH ALL FAULTS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. No historical database is error-free. If a file we delivered is corrupt or incomplete compared with what you ordered, tell us within the 7-day download period and we will re-issue it; that is the only remedy. Whether a file is corrupt or incomplete is determined at Portara's sole discretion. The Data is a digital product delivered in full when your download link is sent and is not refundable. If you are a consumer in the UK or EU, you ask us to supply the Data before your cancellation period ends and acknowledge that you lose the right to cancel once the download link is sent.
8. Data matching
Portara has a very strict policy on data matching to other suppliers. If you intend to do this that's fine, but Portara cannot get involved in any form of discussion or comparison of our data with other data providers — including online charts, analytics websites, brokers and backtesters, whether via free online data, paid services, exchange data or otherwise. It is important to realize that ALL data will vary to some degree between suppliers for very many reasons, and no matter what you find, the data is what it is and cannot be changed anyway. Please see our data matching policy.
9. Liability
The Data is not investment advice; how you use it is your responsibility. To the fullest extent the law allows, Portara and its data originators accept no liability of any kind arising from the Data or your use of it, including trading losses, lost profits and indirect or consequential loss. If any liability cannot be excluded by law, it is limited to re-supplying the original data set as is, and no claim may be brought more than one year after it arose.
10. Your rights under local law
Nothing in this license excludes any right that the law of your country does not allow to be excluded. Where such a right applies, our liability is limited to re-supplying the original data set as is.
11. Law
This license is governed by the law of the State of Delaware, USA, and the State of Delaware remains the lawful venue for resolution in all circumstances. This license and your order are the whole agreement between you and Portara about the Data. If any part of it turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still applies.
