CITI EQUITY Build Your Own Terms of Use

These Build Your Own Terms of Use (“Terms of Use”) govern your use of the “Build Your Own” CITI EQUITY service (the “Service”) available through the CITI EQUITY, corp's (“CITI EQUITY Investing”) website (referred to as the “website”), including your use of the Service to create one or more CITI EQUITYs and publish them on the website. You acknowledge receipt of these Terms of Use and agree to check regularly for any amendments to the Terms of Use and other terms of use, customer or other agreements, and statements, which can be easily retrieved in one location within the tab.



CITI EQUITY reserves the right to review and monitor the contents of any Build Your Own CITI EQUITY and block or remove content that it deems inappropriate in its sole discretion. Any such review in no way constitutes a determination that such CITI EQUITY is a sound or advisable investment or substitutes for an individual’s evaluation of whether an investment strategy or security is suitable for such individual.



By accessing the website and creating a Build Your Own CITI EQUITY, you (a) grant to CITI EQUITY Investing a perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, transferable license to copy, use, modify and publish your Build Your Own CITI EQUITY(s) (the “Licensed CITI EQUITYs”) and all associated content, in each case as the same may be rebalanced or otherwise modified from time to time, on the website for use by persons accessing the website and to use any such information for its own internal use or in connection with processing trades or related activity, (b) represent and warrant to CITI EQUITY that you are the sole owner of the Licensed CITI EQUITYs and all associated content and have the right to license the same to CITI EQUITY as described in (a), and (c) agree that CITI EQUITY may terminate this license in whole or in part at any time.



You agree to adhere to the requirements embedded in the Service or set forth in these Terms of Use for the development of any CITI EQUITY that you create. Your CITI EQUITY may contain up to 30 individual exchange-listed securities. You may not include in your CITI EQUITY shares of mutual funds, corporate or government bonds, options, or over-the-counter stocks. You must provide a name and description of your Build Your Own CITI EQUITY and may also include a photo to be associated with the CITI EQUITY.



Your creation and publishing of a Build Your Own CITI EQUITY and any content created by you and associated with a Build Your Own CITI EQUITY, including communications by you in the CITI EQUITY Social Network, must adhere to the following code of conduct (in addition to the CITI EQUITY Social Network Terms of Use):



  • You will not create or build a CITI EQUITY targeted at a specific individual or class of individual investors. Any CITI EQUITY published pursuant to the Service will be designed for general investor interest and information.
  • You will comply with the terms and spirit of the Terms of Use and all other terms of use relating to the website.
    Federal and state securities laws impose licensing and other requirements on investment advisers and brokers. You are solely responsible for complying with those requirements, to the extent that they apply to you. The Service and CITI EQUITY’s Creator Royalty Program are designed with the intent that if you comply with all of the Terms of Use you should not be required to register as an investment adviser under applicable law. However, the laws differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and there can be no assurances that this result will be achieved. CITI EQUITY is not providing any legal advice to you with respect to your activities. You should consult with your legal advisor as to whether your activities on the website or your use of the Service will cause you to be an investment adviser or subject you to licensing or registration requirements under the laws that apply to you.
  • You will not engage in fraudulent or manipulative practices, including, but not limited to, making false or misleading statements to manipulate the price of any security. You will not trade on the basis of material non-public information or engage in schemes to front-run or pump-and-dump, or engage in any other fraudulent scheme or practice.
  • You will not seek to profit from the Service other than through the payment of royalties that CITI EQUITY has agreed to pay you as a publisher of a Build Your Own CITI EQUITY. You will not accept compensation from any person in exchange for including a security of a particular issuer in a CITI EQUITY. Payment of any royalties are made on a scheduled quarterly basis for current, qualified CITI EQUITY customers. You understand when you close your account, you are no longer eligible to receive royalties during the quarter in which the account was closed and going forward. Thus, once your account is closed, you will not receive additional payments for pending royalties or subsequent purchases of CITI EQUITYs that you have built.
  • You will limit references to investment performance to information specifically agreed upon by CITI EQUITY from time to time, and you will not make or publish claims about the expected performance of any CITI EQUITY, security or strategy. You will not make any guarantee or similar forward looking statement regarding changes in the values of securities or the performance of a particular CITI EQUITY or strategy. Without limiting the foregoing, you will not characterize a CITI EQUITY or any security as “sure to go up” or “sure to outperform” or make a substantially similar statement or characterization.
  • In any of your communications on, through or facilitated by the website, you will not:
    • Refer to yourself as an investment counsel, investment adviser, investment manager, financial planner or any similar term that would imply that you have been engaged by CITI EQUITY or any user as a representative, employee, sub-advisor, or joint venture partner or by any user as a professional adviser;
    • Provide personalized investment advice or recommendations to any person or group of persons. This includes the following:
      • linking any of your CITI EQUITYs to any other CITI EQUITY(s) or securities in a manner that suggests that they constitute an investment program;
      • asking or answering questions relating to a specific individual’s financial or investment situation, objectives or holdings. In this regard, if you are currently receiving or expect to receive any royalty payments or other compensation from CITI EQUITY under its Creator Royalty Program, you agree to limit any discussion in which you engage to the analysis relating to your CITI EQUITY(s) and not how any such CITI EQUITY is expected to perform or otherwise might fit into an individual investment program; or
    • Contact users for the purpose of providing personalized investment advice or for the purpose of soliciting them to buy or sell securities or to become your clients.
  • Your editorial content may not: promote or offer for sale any securities, products or services, promote or constitute unlawful activities, attempt to upload or import any harmful contents or viruses, solicit login or other personal information, display obscene, objectionable, harassing, slanderous, vulgar, or threatening information, racially, ethically, or religiously offensive contents, post any contents that violate third-party proprietary rights including patents, trade secrets, copyrights, and personal or sensitive information, offer any contests or giveaways, attempt to gather information from other users or customers, take any actions to disable, overburden, impair, or impede the proper working condition of the website, or impersonate that the you are a representative of CITI EQUITY, or encourage any violations of these Terms of Use.
  • You will not use any content or information that infringes on intellectual property of an individual or entity and you will represent that you have received any permissions which may be required for use of any such intellectual property. At times, CITI EQUITY Investing may be required to respond promptly to claims of copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property infringement reported to CITI EQUITY, and you may be held liable for the improper use of any protected material that you have misused, whether intended or not. CITI EQUITY may take any action it deems necessary, including removal of content or restricting of account access, in order to resolve any issue that may arise, in its sole discretion.
  • You agree to the maximum limit of CITI EQUITYs you can create for publication to 250, so as not to spam the site with content. You may also remove CITI EQUITYs in order help you manage your total number of CITI EQUITYs created.
  • You will not use or disseminate any material non-public information related to the issuer of a security in connection with, among other things, any of your CITI EQUITYs or communications through or on the website.
  • You will cooperate with information requests by CITI EQUITY made on behalf of a governmental entity, such as a securities regulator or self-regulatory organization, and you agree that CITI EQUITY may provide to any such person any information available to CITI EQUITY with respect to your conduct and activities.
