You agree that Empirico shall not be held liable for any trading activities or other activities that occur on any website you access through links on Empirico. We provide these links as a convenience, and do not endorse the content or services offered by these other sites.

6. Disclaimer regarding content
TradingView cannot and does not represent or guarantee that any of the information available through our services or on Empirico is accurate, reliable, current, complete or appropriate for your needs. Various information available through our services or on Empirico may be specially obtained by Empirico from professional businesses or organizations, such as exchanges, news providers, market data providers and other content providers, who are believed to be sources of reliable information (collectively, the “Data Providers”). Nevertheless, due to various factors — including the inherent possibility of human and mechanical error — the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, results obtained from use, and correct sequencing of information available through our services and website are not and cannot be guaranteed by Empirico. We make no warranty and assume no obligation or liability for scripts, indicators, ideas and other content of third parties.

7. Disclaimer regarding investment decisions and trading
Decisions to buy, sell, hold or trade in securities, commodities and other investments involve risk and are best made based on the advice of qualified financial professionals. Any trading in securities or other investments involves a risk of substantial losses. The practice of “Day Trading” involves particularly high risks and can cause you to lose substantial sums of money. Before undertaking any trading program, you should consult a qualified financial professional. Please consider carefully whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition and ability to bear financial risks. Under no circumstances shall we be liable for any loss or damage you or anyone else incurs as a result of any trading or investment activity that you or anyone else engages in based on any information or material you receive through Empirico or our services.
8. Disclaimer regarding hypothetical and historical performance results
Hypothetical and Historical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are mentioned below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. Regarding Historical performance, by using Empirico you signify to be aware that past performance is not necessarily an accurate representation of future performance.

13. Payment and cancellation of service
- The early version(s) of Empirico are free of charge and can be canceled at any time by the user or by us. In this latter case, we will notify you and provide you with the available upgrading options.
- By ordering any subscription on empirico.finance (including a free trial period) you confirm that you have read and accepted our Terms of Use and you authorize Empirico – if needed – to automatically charge your bank card or the selected payment method account according to the billing period manually selected by you.
- Each user can try any paid plan for 30 days free of charge. If the trial is not canceled before its expiration date, it automatically converts to a monthly or annual paid plan depending on the user’s choice. There are no refunds for monthly plans, even if the subscription is canceled on the same day as the autoconversion payment has gone through. Refunds are available only after an automatic deduction for annual payments (i.e. after trial and after renewal) within 14 calendar days after the payment was made. Please note that users who filed a chargeback/dispute request or a claim are not eligible for a refund.
- The service is billed in advance on a monthly, annual, or other available option. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of service, or refunds for months unused with an open user account. If auto renewal fails for an annual plan you will automatically be switched to a monthly plan.
- All billing is recurring, which means you will continue to get billed until you cancel your subscription. You are solely responsible for properly canceling your Empirico subscription. An email request or support ticket asking for your subscription to be canceled is not considered cancellation. You may cancel your subscription at any time by visiting the billing section of your Profile Settings page.
- If you cancel the service before the end of your current paid up period, your subscription will remain active until the next due date. After the due date, if no payment is received, your subscription will be stopped.
- We do not offer refunds for initial payments. If you order the service for the first time, please make sure that the order is correct before the payment is made.
- We do not offer refunds for recurring monthly payments. If you have been billed for automatic monthly renewal of the Service, you can cancel the subscription to avoid billing for next months.
- We do not offer refunds for upgrades to a more expensive plan or a longer billing cycle. Remaining days are converted into an equivalent value of days on the new subscription.
- We offer refunds for recurring annual and multi-year payments on demand. If you have been billed for automatic annual and multi-year renewal of the service, you have 14 calendar days (after the payment was made) to contact our support team. If you don’t do this, Empirico assumes that renewal of the service is expected and the payment will not be refunded.
- Refunds are available only after an automatic deduction for annual payments (i.e. after trial and after renewal) within 14 calendar days after the payment was made.
- Our team members are official Empirico representatives, with the authority to warn or ban users (including those with a paid subscription) when they do not abide by these Terms of Use.
