Terms of use
Last updated: August 28, 2026
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of MarketRunner, a financial market research and analysis service operated by MarketRunner LLC (“MarketRunner,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Service, creating an account, or checking a box acknowledging these Terms, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Nature of the Service
MarketRunner provides automated financial-market research, screening, analysis, rankings, ratings, charts, estimates, model outputs, and related informational tools focused on publicly traded securities. Outputs are generated using quantitative methodologies and financial, technical, market, estimate, news, and/or other publicly available or properly licensed data.
Content is impersonal research framing and educational information. MarketRunner is not describing itself here as a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, commodity trading advisor, bank, fiduciary, portfolio manager, or other regulated financial institution. Nothing in these Terms claims that MarketRunner is legally exempt from securities or investment-adviser regulation.
2. Automated ratings and labels
MarketRunner may display automated ratings, classifications, or labels including Strong Buy, Buy, Possible Buy Here, Hold For Now, Possible Sell Here, Sell, Strong Sell, bullish, bearish, and similar terminology. These labels are outputs of MarketRunner’s automated research methodology. They represent the model’s interpretation of specified market and financial data and are not personalized recommendations, instructions to trade, guarantees of performance, or determinations that a security is suitable for any particular person.
A security appearing in Daily Setups, receiving a rating, appearing in a paper portfolio, or being discussed in analysis does not mean every user should buy, sell, or hold that security.
3. No personalized investment advice
MarketRunner does not collect or evaluate your investment objectives, financial circumstances, income, net worth, portfolio, time horizon, tax circumstances, liquidity needs, or individual risk tolerance for purposes of generating its stock ratings. Ratings and related outputs are impersonal model outputs based on available market and financial data, not advice tailored to you.
4. No advisory or fiduciary relationship
Your use of the Service does not create an investment-advisory, brokerage, fiduciary, attorney-client, accountant-client, or similar professional relationship between you and MarketRunner LLC or its operators. Accessing ratings, Daily Setups, charts, or paper-performance information does not make you a client of an investment adviser or broker-dealer operated by MarketRunner.
5. Independent investment decisions
You are solely responsible for your investment decisions. You should not make an investment decision solely because:
- a stock receives a particular MarketRunner rating;
- a stock appears in Daily Setups;
- a stock appears in a paper portfolio or track-record display;
- MarketRunner displays a valuation target, estimate, or probability; or
- MarketRunner presents bullish or bearish analysis.
You should conduct your own research and determine whether any security or strategy is appropriate for your circumstances. Seek independent professional advice when needed.
6. Investment risk
Investing in securities involves substantial risk, including the possible loss of some or all invested capital. Markets can move quickly. Volatility, liquidity, issuer events, macro conditions, and many other factors can cause losses.
No rating, model output, valuation, forecast, probability, setup, backtest, paper trade, simulated result, or historical display guarantees future performance. Past results, including paper, simulated, or hypothetical results, do not guarantee future results.
7. Paper trading, simulated performance, and backtests
Any paper portfolio, simulated trade, hypothetical account, model portfolio, backtest, track record, or similar performance information displayed by MarketRunner does not represent trading in an actual customer account unless expressly stated otherwise.
Hypothetical and simulated results have inherent limitations and may differ materially from actual trading. Limitations can include bid-ask spreads, slippage, liquidity, market impact, execution delays, rejected or partially filled orders, taxes, commissions or fees where applicable, differences between historical or model conditions and live markets, and psychological or behavioral effects that simulations do not capture.
Past, simulated, hypothetical, paper, or backtested performance does not guarantee future results. Additional detail on how MarketRunner’s public paper track record is calculated appears in Paper portfolio methodology and Disclosures.
8. Data sources and accuracy
Information shown in the Service may include stock prices; company financial statements; SEC or company disclosures; analyst estimates; earnings data; news; technical indicators; corporate actions; market statistics; third-party API data; and internally calculated or derived metrics.
Data may be delayed, incomplete, revised, unavailable, duplicated, incorrectly mapped, or erroneous. MarketRunner does not guarantee that every third-party data point has been independently verified. Errors or gaps in source data may affect ratings, rankings, valuations, forecasts, charts, and other outputs.
9. Third-party data and services
The Service may depend on third-party APIs, infrastructure, market-data services, payment providers, hosting companies, and other vendors. Those services may become unavailable, change functionality, change licensing terms, or contain errors beyond MarketRunner’s control. MarketRunner does not claim redistribution rights beyond what its licenses and applicable law permit.
10. Accounts and security
If you create an account, you agree that:
- you will provide accurate account information and keep it reasonably up to date;
- you are responsible for protecting your login credentials;
- you will notify MarketRunner promptly of suspected unauthorized use of your account; and
- you will not share accounts beyond what your subscription expressly permits.
You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account credentials, except where prohibited by applicable law.
11. Subscription, automatic renewal, cancellation, and refunds
Paid features are billed according to the plan shown at checkout (for example, a monthly subscription). Unless otherwise clearly shown at checkout, paid subscriptions automatically renew for successive billing periods until canceled. By subscribing, you authorize the payment processor to charge the applicable subscription fee and any applicable taxes at each renewal using your selected payment method.
Cancellation prevents future renewal charges. Access generally continues through the remainder of the current paid period unless otherwise stated at purchase or in the billing portal. You can typically manage or cancel through Stripe’s customer portal (linked from MarketRunner’s billing/manage-account flows) or instructions in Stripe receipt emails.
Except where required by applicable law or expressly stated otherwise at purchase, subscription payments are non-refundable and MarketRunner does not provide credits for partially used billing periods.
12. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- scrape or bulk-extract the Service without authorization;
- circumvent technical access controls, rate limits, or authentication;
- share credentials contrary to subscription restrictions;
- resell or redistribute MarketRunner ratings, Daily Setups, or proprietary datasets without permission;
- copy substantial portions of the Service to create a competing commercial database or product;
- probe, attack, exploit, introduce malware to, or interfere with the Service; or
- use the Service in violation of applicable law.
These restrictions are not intended to prohibit ordinary personal research or reasonable citation and commentary.
13. Intellectual property
The Service, including site design, software, scoring frameworks, proprietary presentation, databases and compilations, original text, graphics, and model outputs, may be protected by applicable intellectual-property rights owned by MarketRunner LLC and/or its licensors, subject to third-party rights in underlying market and financial data. MarketRunner LLC does not claim ownership of third-party financial data. Third-party data remains subject to applicable third-party rights and licenses. MarketRunner LLC and its licensors reserve all rights not expressly granted. Your subscription grants a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Service for your personal or internal business research, subject to these Terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from the Service except as permitted by law or with our prior written consent.
14. Disclaimer of warranties
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, OR UNINTERRUPTED ACCESS. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ERROR-FREE, THAT DATA WILL BE COMPLETE OR CURRENT, OR THAT USE OF THE SERVICE WILL PRODUCE ANY INVESTMENT RESULT.
15. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MARKETRUNNER LLC AND ITS OPERATORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MARKETRUNNER LLC’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO MARKETRUNNER DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
16. Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless MarketRunner LLC and its operators from and against claims, damages, losses, and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your unlawful use of the Service; (b) your material violation of these Terms; (c) your misuse or unauthorized redistribution of MarketRunner content; or (d) infringement caused by content you submit, if the Service allows user-generated content.
17. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate your access for material Terms violations, fraud, payment failure, security threats, unlawful behavior, or abuse of the Service. Upon termination for cause, your right to access paid features ends, and we may cancel future renewals. If we terminate without cause, we may provide access through the end of a prepaid period or a pro-rata remedy where required by law. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law) will survive termination.
18. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
19. General terms
Entire agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any plan details expressly shown at checkout, constitute the entire agreement between you and MarketRunner LLC regarding the Service and supersede prior or contemporaneous agreements on that subject.
Severability
If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
Waiver
Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
Assignment
You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of assets.
Survival
Sections that reasonably should survive termination (including IP, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, and governing law) survive.
Electronic communications
You consent to receive notices and communications electronically, including via email associated with your account or in-product notices.
Force majeure
MarketRunner is not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including outages of third-party networks, market-data providers, hosting providers, payment processors, natural disasters, labor disputes, or government actions.
Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will revise the “Last updated” date when we do. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms, except where additional consent is required by law.
