  • No Investment Recommendations or Professional Advice 

Hyperion does not provide personalized investment advice or execute trades on your behalf.  Neither the Website nor any of Hyperion’s products or services are intended to provide tax, legal, insurance, or investment advice.  None of the content provided on the Website or through any of Hyperion’s products or services should be construed as an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation for any security by Hyperion or any third party.  You alone are solely responsible for determining whether any investment, security or strategy, or any other product or service, is appropriate or suitable for you based on your investment objectives and personal and financial situation. You should consult a registered investment advisor, attorney, or tax professional regarding your particular financial situation, investing strategies, or specific legal or tax situation.

To the extent that any of the content published on the Website may be deemed to be investment advice or recommendations in connection with a particular security, such information is impersonal and not tailored to the investment needs of any specific person.  You understand that an investment in any security is subject to a number of risks and that discussions of any security published on the Website will not contain a list or description of relevant risk factors.

You understand that performance data is supplied by sources believed to be reliable, that the calculations on our Website are made using such data, and that such calculations are not guaranteed by these sources, the information providers, or any other person or entity, and may not be complete.

From time to time, our Website may reference prior articles and opinions that we have published.  These references may be selective, may reference only a portion of an article or opinion, and are likely not to be current.  As markets change continuously, previously published information and data may not be current and should not be relied upon.

All content on the Website is presented only as of the date published or indicated and may be superseded by subsequent market events or for other reasons.  In addition, you are responsible for setting the cache settings on your browser to ensure you are receiving the most recent data

  • Securities & Investing Disclosure; Hypothetical Performance Results Disclosure; Trade Alerts Disclosure

This Website provides information about the stock market and other investments. All investments involve risk that losses may exceed the invested amount and that the past performance of a security, industry, sector, market, or product does not guarantee future results or returns. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT STOCK, FUTURES, AND OPTION TRADING INVOLVES HIGH RISKS THAT MAY RESULT IN YOUR LOSS OF LARGE SUMS OF MONEY. When investing in stocks or purchasing options, you may lose all of the money you invested.  When investing in futures, you may lose more than the funds you invested. Being a successful “paper trader” or “paper investor” during one period of time does not mean that you will make money when you actually invest during a later time period. Market conditions constantly change.

The information set forth on this Website is not an invitation to trade any specific security or class of securities. Investing requires risking money in pursuit of future gain. That is your decision, and you are solely responsible for your investment decisions. Do not risk any money you cannot afford to lose. This Website does not take into account your own individual financial and personal circumstances. You are encouraged to consult with a qualified investment professional regarding any trading strategy or a particular trade. Your failure to seek professional, detailed and personally-tailored advice prior to making any investment could result in actions contrary to your best interests and loss of capital. We make no representation that you will or are likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those presented on this Website. This Website is for informational purposes only and does not provide investment advice. The owner of this Website does not fall within the federal or state definition of an investment adviser and is not registered as such.

Hypothetical or simulated performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are mentioned below, and there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over- compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of the trading losses are material points, which can also adversely affect trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the market in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program that cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

The Website contains information regarding some of our successful hypothetical trades. We also have hypothetical trades where we lost money (not including fees and commissions). Past Results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

For customers trading options, the futures charts are presented for informational purposes only. They are intended to show how investing in options can depend on the underlying futures prices; specifically, whether or not an option purchaser is buying an in-the-money, at-the-money, or out-of-the-money option. Furthermore, the purchaser will be able to determine whether or not to exercise his or her right on an option depending on how the option’s strike price compares to the underlying futures price. The futures charts are not intended to imply that option prices move in tandem with futures prices. In fact, option prices may only move a fraction of the price move in the underlying futures. In some cases, the option may not move at all or even move in the opposite direction of the underlying futures contract.

Hyperion may send “trade alerts” to end users via email or text in advance of the trade being executed. Hyperion cannot guarantee due to technology limitations that end users will receive the alert before the trade is executed, nor guarantees that the alerted trade will occur as the conditions and other variables upon which the alerted proposed trade is based may not materialize. Further, Hyperion does not guarantee that you will be able to execute the same trade at the alerted price or position size as market conditions change rapidly. Hyperion encourages you not to simply copy alerted trades in your own portfolio. Trade alerts are presented to help you learn how to make investment decisions for yourself. You understand and agree that you alone are responsible for your own trading activity and investment decisions.

If you purchase a subscription, it is automatically billed each stated period (e.g. monthly, quarterly, annually) to the payment method you provided when you purchased the subscription unless and until you cancel the subscription. We may use an account updater to automatically update your payment information in the event it changes, in which case, your renewal will be billed to the updated account information. 

If you wish to cancel your subscription, you may do so at any time; however, you must cancel your subscription at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to your next billing date to avoid being billed for the next renewal period.

  • Refund Policy 

Subscription payments are non-refundable.  When you cancel your subscription, you will have access to the product or service until the end of that subscription period.

Most of Hyperion’s products and services do not include a money-back guarantee. From time to time, Hyperion may run promotional offers where a money-back guarantee is advertised in connection with the purchase of a particular product or service.  The terms of that guarantee will be stated on the checkout page at the time of purchase. Regardless of the specific terms of any advertised money-back guarantee, the money-back guarantee shall only be available for the first subscription period.  Additionally, customers who elect a refund under any money-back guarantee and then resubscribe to the same product or service within a two-year period will not be entitled to any applicable money-back guarantee.

  • Payment 

All charges are in U.S. Dollars.  By submitting payment information to us, you represent and agree that: (i) you are fully authorized to use that card or account; (ii) all payment information provided is complete and accurate; (iv) you will be responsible for any payment card fees; and (v) that sufficient funds exist to pay us the amount(s) due.

We and our third-party payment service providers may request, and we may receive, updated payment card information from your card issuer, such as updated card numbers and expiration date information when your payment card has expired.  If such updated information is provided to us and our third-party payment service providers, we will update your account information accordingly.  Your payment card issuer may give you the right to opt-out of providing vendors and third-party payment service providers with your updated credit card information.  If you wish to opt-out of your payment card’s updating service, you should contact your payment card issuer.

We are not responsible for any fees or charges that your bank or payment card issuer may apply.  If your bank or credit card issuer reverses a charge to your credit card, we may bill you directly and seek payment by another method including a mailed statement.

  • General

Arbitration is a manner of resolving a “Claim” without filing a lawsuit.  “Claim” means any dispute between you, Hyperion, or any involved third-party relating to your account, your use of the Website, your relationship with Hyperion, these Terms, or the Privacy Policy.  This includes any and all claims that relate in any way to your use or attempted use of the products and services, and any act or omission by Hyperion or any third-party related to your use or attempted use of the products or services, and any communications from Hyperion or any third party on Hyperion’s behalf.  You, Hyperion, or any involved third-party may pursue a Claim.  Hyperion agrees to final and binding confidential arbitration should it have any Claims against you.  Likewise, you agree to final and binding confidential arbitration should you have any Claims against Hyperion.  By agreeing to arbitrate, you waive the right to go to court and agree instead to submit any Claims to final and binding confidential arbitration.  You further agree that all claims must be arbitrated on an individual basis and not on a class basis, only individual relief is available, and that claims of more than one customer cannot be arbitrated or consolidated with those of any other customer.  This arbitration provision sets forth the terms and conditions of our agreement to final and binding confidential arbitration and is governed by and enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, as amended.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) a representative action for public injunctive relief pursuant to California’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1750 et seq.), Unfair Competition Law (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200 et seq.) and/or False Advertising Law (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17500 et seq.) must be arbitrated on a class basis, (b) in the event that the foregoing clause is deemed invalid or unenforceable, a representative action for public injunctive relief pursuant to California’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1750 et seq.), Unfair Competition Law (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200 et seq.) and/or False Advertising Law (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17500 et seq.) may be brought in the state or federal courts located in Arizona on a class basis, and (c) any claims other than for public injunctive relief must be arbitrated on an individual, non-class basis as otherwise set forth in this section.

  • Exceptions

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and as an exception to final and binding confidential arbitration, you and Hyperion both retain the right to pursue, in small claims court, any claim that is within that court’s jurisdiction and proceeds on an individual (non-class) basis, including overdue account matters within the small claims court’s jurisdiction.  Hyperion will not demand arbitration in connection with any individual claim that you properly file and pursue in a small claims court, so long as the claim is and remains pending in that court. 

The following claims shall not be subject to final and binding arbitration and must be adjudicated only in the state or federal courts located in Arizona: (i) an action by Hyperion relating to the infringement or validity of our proprietary rights, including without limitation, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, copyrights, trade secrets, or patents; or (ii) an action by Hyperion for temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive relief, whether prohibitive or mandatory, or other provisional relief, against you for breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.  You expressly agree to refrain from bringing or joining any claims that are excluded from final and binding arbitration pursuant to this subsection “b” in any representative or class-wide capacity, including but not limited to bringing or joining any claims in any class action or any class-wide arbitration.  Small claims matters may be filed in any small claims court with personal and subject matter jurisdiction over the parties.  For all other matters excluded from final and binding arbitration by this subsection “b,” the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts located in  Arizona, and forever waive any challenge to said courts’ jurisdiction and venue.

  •  Required Pre-Dispute Procedures

Before initiating any Claim against the other, you and we agree to first contact the other with a written description of the dispute, which shall include all relevant documents and information, and the proposed resolution.  You may send the written description of any dispute you have with us by certified mail to Hyperion, Attn: Legal Department, 20701 N Scottsdale Rd., Ste. #107-154, Scottsdale, AZ 85255.  Hyperion will contact you by letter at the billing address you provided to us or at the email address you provided to us.  You agree to negotiate with Hyperion or its designated representative in good faith about your problem or dispute.  If for some reason the dispute is not resolved within 60 days after receipt of the written dispute, we agree to the dispute resolution provisions herein.

  • Commencing Arbitration

You and Hyperion agree to commence any arbitration proceeding within one (1) year after the Claim arises (the one-year period includes the required pre-dispute procedures set forth above) and that any arbitration proceeding commenced after one (1) year shall be forever barred. 

  • Arbitration Location

If the amount in controversy is $500 or less, then the arbitration may be conducted by telephone or by written submissions.  Otherwise, the arbitration shall be conducted in Arizona unless Hyperion otherwise agrees to arbitrate in another forum requested by you. 

  • Organization, Rules and the Arbitrator

We each agree that any and all Claims other than those exempted under subsection “b” above shall be submitted to final and binding confidential arbitration before a single arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).  Either party may commence the arbitration process by submitting a written demand for arbitration with the AAA, and providing a copy to the other party, within the time period set forth in subsection “d” above.  The arbitrator shall be selected by agreement of the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, chosen in accordance with Rules of the AAA, Consumer Arbitration Rules, in effect at the time of submission of the demand for arbitration.  The AAA’s Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.  The arbitrator shall have the exclusive and sole authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, construction, validity, applicability, or enforceability of these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and this arbitration provision.  The arbitrator shall have the exclusive and sole authority to determine whether any dispute or Claim is arbitrable.  The arbitrator shall have the exclusive and sole authority to determine whether this arbitration agreement can be enforced against a non-signatory to this agreement and whether a non-signatory to this agreement can enforce this provision against you or Hyperion.

  •  Fees

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s Rules.

  •  Governing Law and Award

The arbitrator shall follow the substantive law of the State of Arizona without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.  Any award rendered shall include a confidential written opinion and shall be final, subject to appeal under the FAA.  Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. 

  • Enforceability

This provision survives termination of your account or relationship with Hyperion, bankruptcy, assignment, or transfer.  If the class action waiver is deemed unenforceable (i.e., unenforceability would allow arbitration to proceed as a class or representative action), then this entire arbitration provision shall be rendered null and void and shall not apply.  If a portion of this arbitration provision (other than the class action waiver) is deemed unenforceable, the remaining portions of this arbitration provision shall remain in full force and effect. 

  • Miscellaneous

Failure or any delay in enforcing this arbitration provision in connection with any particular Claim will not constitute a waiver of any rights to require arbitration at a later time or in connection with any other Claims except all Claims must be brought within the 1 year limitation period set forth above.  This provision is the entire arbitration agreement between you and Hyperion and shall not be modified except in writing by Hyperion. 

  • Amendments

Hyperion reserves the right to amend this arbitration provision at any time.  Your continued use of the Website, purchase of a product or service on or through the Website, or use or attempted use of a Hyperion product or service, constitutes your consent to such changes.
