Your purchases through NinjaTrader’s website and your use of NinjaTrader’s services are also governed by NinjaTrader’s customer agreement (which is incorporated by reference in these Terms), as well as the disclosures available at https://www.NinjaTrader.com/Risk and all other applicable terms, conditions, limitations, and requirements on NinjaTrader’s website. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not purchase a membership or any other services.

Except as otherwise stated, these Terms are subject to change at any time and in NinjaTrader’s sole discretion.

It is your responsibility to check the website regularly for changes to these Terms. Your continued use of the System after any such changes are effective constitutes your consent to be bound to such changes.

If you have any questions regarding these Terms, please contact NinjaTrader by emailing support@NinjaTrader.com.

PURCHASE AND ACCOUNT SECURITY

In order to access NinjaTrader’s live environment, you must set up a registered trading account with a NinjaTrader affiliate. You agree to provide and maintain accurate and complete information in your NinjaTrader trading account at all times, including, but not limited to, your billing address, email address, telephone number, account number, and payment information. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of, and restricting access to, your account, username and password.

PRICES AND AVAILABILITY

NinjaTrader offers various pricing plans (each, a “Pricing Plan”) and subscription term lengths (“Subscription Term”). The fees for Pricing Plans and available Subscription Terms are stated on the pricing page of NinjaTrader’s website found at the following URL: https://www.NinjaTrader.com/BuyPlatform. From time to time, NinjaTrader may offer different Pricing Plans and Subscription Terms and the fees for such Pricing Plans and Subscription Terms may vary.

All prices are shown in U.S. dollars. While NinjaTrader has the right to change the prices at any time, the prices associated with your Pricing Plan at the time of purchase will remain effective during your Subscription Term, but will be subject to the renewal provisions below, which provide for the Pricing Plan fee applicable at the renewal date to be charged in connection with the renewal.

PAYMENT OPTIONS

NinjaTrader may accept payments by deducting fees from your trading account or charging your credit card. By submitting your order, you acknowledge that you authorize NinjaTrader to charge your order (including taxes and any other amounts described on NinjaTrader’s website) to that trading account, credit card, or bank account.

CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS

You may terminate or modify your Pricing Plan any time by visiting NinjaTrader’s trading platform and adjusting your subscription settings.

The Pricing Plan fee is non-refundable, except as expressly set forth in these Terms or as required by law. You understand that charges for the service must be paid in advance.

RENEWALS

At the expiration of your Subscription Term, NinjaTrader will automatically bill your account for an additional service term equal to the length of time of your original Subscription Term unless you notify NinjaTrader prior to the renewal date that you wish to cancel or do not wish to renew your Pricing Plan. Thus, your Pricing Plan will automatically renew (without notice to you, unless required by applicable law) and you authorize NinjaTrader to collect the then-applicable Pricing Plan fee using any payment sources on record. If adequate funds are not available in your trading account or credit card, your Pricing Plan may be suspended or cancelled automatically, and your account set to Membership-Free. In the event of a suspended or automatically cancelled Pricing Plan due to insufficient funds or rejected payment processing, any open market positions may be closed and working orders cancelled in your trading account at NinjaTrader’s sole discretion.

Cancellation processing fees, liquidation fees, and other fees may apply if adequate funds are not available in the account by the time NinjaTrader submits the charges for a renewal.

For all Pricing Plans, the renewal fees will be equal to the highest published fees for your subscription selection as published by NinjaTrader at the renewal date.

PRORATED BILLING

All rates are based on the full Subscription Term and no prorated billing credit will be applied for a Pricing Plan after the start of the billing period. No prorated credit will be given for unused time after a Pricing Plan has been terminated. Prorated credit will be applied to upgrades to the Pricing Plan and Subscription Term by calculating the difference in remaining value between the current Pricing Plan and Subscription Term and the upgraded Pricing Plan and Subscription Term.

PROMOTIONAL TRIAL ACCESS

NinjaTrader offers certain customers various trial or other promotional access, which are subject to these Terms, except as otherwise stated in the promotional offers. Trial subscribers may at any time choose not to continue to a Pricing Plan at the end of the trial period by allowing their trial to expire. If you use the System for a promotional trail access period, you are bound to the same terms and conditions and are prohibited from using the System to effect any trades or transactions.

OTHER LIMITATIONS

  • NinjaTrader affiliates reserve the right to accept or refuse trading accounts in their discretion
  • You may not transfer or assign your NinjaTrader access or any rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of NinjaTrader. Any attempted assignment or transfer without such prior written consent from NinjaTrader shall be void and of no effect.
  • From time to time, NinjaTrader may choose in its sole discretion to add or remove benefits from Pricing Plans
