May, 2024
Welcome to MuniBonds.AI, a web site operated by MuniBonds, LLC, a limited liability company, (the "Site" or "Company"). This document explains the terms and conditions to use our Site (the “Agreement” or "User License Agreement") and Site Content (“Content”). By registering and using our Site you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and have read, understand and agree to be bound to the terms and conditions of this User License Agreement and any new version of this Agreement posted since your last visit. If the Agreement is not acceptable, then please do not use our Site. All licenses granted hereunder are revocable, non-transferable and non-exclusive.
YOUR ACCOUNT
When you register as a new member, an Account is set up for you corresponding to the Account Type and User License you specified - either a Basic Limited Use Account License (“Basic Limited Use”) or Premium Use Account License (“Premium Use)”. The Premium Use account has greater access to the Site features than the Basic Limited Use account. The Company reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to determine your account eligibility and may modify eligibility and restrictions of the accounts at any time.
THE FREE LIMITED USE ACCOUNT LICENSE MAY ONLY BE USED BY PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS FOR NON-COMMERCIAL USE AND IS PROVIDED ONCE AND ONLY UPON YOUR FIRST REGISTRATION AT THE SITE.
For example, a private individual is a retail investor whose use is not directly or indirectly affiliated with a commercial enterprise of any type. Commercial use is defined as use intended for, or directed toward commercial advantage or monetary compensation. Commercial use examples include employees, consultants or agents of any financial industry organization connected to investments, banking, tax & audit, accounting, consulting, legal, governmental organizations, municipal bond issuers and others. Any use by an investor or professional that is directly or indirectly affiliated with a profit making organization or use by professionals affiliated with governmental organizations issuing, monitoring or researching municipal bonds is also considered commercial use. Another commercial use example that is strictly prohibited includes registering for a free account using a personal email address that is then used to access a web site operated by Munibonds.al LLC, a limited liability company, (the "Site" or "Company"). via a commercial enterprise of any type.
The Free Limited Use account is strictly prohibited from use by Commercial entities or institutions or finance professionals. FREE LIMITED USE ACCOUNTS ARE FOR NEW REGISTRANTS ONLY AND ARE LIMITED TO ONE TRIAL PER REGISTRANT. Once the trial terms for the Free Limited Use Account License has expired or is otherwise terminated you may not re-register for another Free Limited Use account. YOU AGREE NOT TO SET UP DUPLICATIVE OR SUBSEQUENT ACCOUNTS TO CIRCUMVENT THE FREE LIMITED USE ACCOUNT USAGE RESTRICTIONS OR THIS AGREEMENT OR USER LICENSE. Any user and / or IP address that re-registers for more than one Free Limited Use account shall be in breach of this Agreement and any such subsequent account shall either be modified, suspended or terminated without notice and the user and the IP address banned from the Site unless the user or IP address subscribes to a Basic, Premium or Enterprise Use account. Breach of this User License Agreement shall subject violators to civil liability including liquidated damages for the period of time of unauthorized use of the Site and its Content and may subject authorized users to penalties under the United States Copyright Laws.
A “Basic”, “Premium” or “Enterprise” user account is required for all commercial use including all financial institutions, brokers, financial or legal advisors, finance professionals or persons, entities, government or government-agency that, directly or indirectly, generate income from the Site and/or Site Content. YOU AGREE THAT IF YOUR USE OF THE MUNIBONDS.AI SITE AND CONTENT IS IN ANY MANNER USED FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES THAT YOU SHALL ONLY LICENSE MUNIBONDS.AI PRODUCTS DESIGNATED FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES THROUGH PREMIUM USE ACCOUNT LICENSE SUBSCRIPTION. You further agree that any usage of a Free Limited Use account for any commercial purposes by you or your company will be deemed a breach of this Agreement.
If you are an institution, you may be invited to establish an Enterprise Account. Each Enterprise Account may have up to the number of Sub-Accounts for individuals working in your company. Each Sub-Account will continue only for so long as the Master Account remains active.
Your Password. A user name and password will be assigned by us or chosen by you. You will only access and use the Site features through your own Account and only during the period of your subscription. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your password and for activities occurring under your Account (and each Sub-Account, if applicable). Be sure to change your
