USER-specific services include, but are not limited to: community features, publishing features, posting Content through the MHT Services, participation in web-based discussions, e-mail alerts, video podcasts, webinars, and interaction with other USERs. USERs will have the ability to actively relate in community features, including commenting on and/or contributing to other USERs’ generated Content. USERs soon may be provided with virtual portfolios, allowing USERs to conduct virtual “transactions” on securities in a simulated market environment (MHT is not a broker and does not provide the ability to conduct “live” buy/sell or order transactions). In the event virtual portfolios become a feature of the MHT website, be aware that virtual portfolio transactions are simulated transactions only and do not represent actual ownership and/or trading of the corresponding securities.
MHT provides some of its services free of additional charge to its USERs. Other services are fee-based or subscription-based and may include additional requirements. All fees, subscriptions and/or requirements for such optional services will be clearly identified and separately agreed to when USERs access and sign up for such optional services.
All USER Content posted in web logs, forecasts, forums, virtual trades, messages, discussion boards or any other means available to USERs of MHT are the opinions of such contributors of the Content and do not in any way reflect the opinions of MHT, its affiliates, or any other USER.
Although MHT will make every reasonable effort to ensure that Content from external data providers is accurate, occasional and inadvertent errors do occur. Such Content is for discussion and informational purposes only. MHT and its affiliates shall not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, usefulness or availability of any information transmitted, posted or made available through MHT Services.
None of the information and Content available through MHT is intended in any way to be advice, reliance or recommendation. Each USER should conduct his/her own due diligence process before making an investment decision. Neither MHT nor its affiliates, employees, contractors, licensors or other entities affiliated with MHT are responsible or liable for any trading or investment decisions based on the information and Content provided by MHT or through MHT services. USERs should always consult an authorized financial professional to verify the accuracy of stock prices and any other related information and not rely solely on the information, Content and services of MHT.
MHT reserves the right to modify, limit, temporarily suspend or permanently eliminate the Services it provides (or any part thereof), with or without notice. USER agrees that MHT and its affiliates shall not be liable to USER or any third party for such modification, limitation, suspension or elimination.
