A Note Before You Read

We built Big Picture Trading because we believe financial education should be world-class, accessible, and honest. This Agreement is designed to be fair to both you and us — it sets clear expectations so there are no surprises on either side.

We've tried to write this as clearly as possible. The sections that follow cover what you're getting, what we expect from each other, and how we handle the rare situations where something goes wrong. If you ever have a question about anything in here, reach out to us at contact@bigpicturetrading.com before making any assumptions — we'd rather talk it through.

By enrolling, you're confirming you've read and agreed to the terms below.

IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

SECTION 2 — NATURE OF SERVICES

2.1 Educational Purpose

The Company provides educational and informational services focused on macroeconomic analysis, technical analysis, risk management, and the use of financial instruments, including options, as part of an educational curriculum. The Services are intended to support learning and understanding and are not intended to provide personalized financial, investment, trading, legal, or tax advice.

The Services may include educational content, commentary, tools, illustrative examples, trade demonstrations, community discussions, webinars, workshops, and other learning resources, delivered online and, from time to time, through in-person events.

2.3 Non-Personalized Nature

The Services are provided on a general, non-personalized basis and do not take into account any Member's individual financial circumstances, objectives, experience, or risk tolerance.

2.4 No Advisory Relationship

The Company does not act as an investment advisor, broker-dealer, commodity trading advisor, or fiduciary, does not manage accounts, and does not execute trades on behalf of Members.

2.5 Member Responsibility

Members acknowledge that the Services are intended solely to support independent learning and decision-making and that each Member is solely responsible for evaluating and applying any information provided through the Services.

SECTION 3 — FEES, BILLING, AND PAYMENT TERMS

3.1 Membership Options and Enrollment

The Company offers various Membership Options, which may include optional Free Trials, month-to-month memberships, and annual memberships. The specific fees, billing cadence, and payment terms applicable to a Member's selected Membership Option will be disclosed at the time of enrollment through the Company's website, checkout pages, or other authorized enrollment materials. By enrolling in the Services, the Member agrees to pay all applicable fees associated with the selected Membership Option.

3.2 Free Trials

The Company may offer Free Trials at its discretion. Free Trial access is subject to this Agreement and may be limited in duration, scope, or features. Unless otherwise disclosed at the time a Free Trial is offered, Free Trials expire automatically at the end of the applicable trial period and do not require cancellation.

Where a Free Trial requires a payment method at enrollment, the Member will be clearly informed of this requirement and any applicable auto-conversion terms at the time the Free Trial is offered. If a Free Trial is set to automatically convert to a paid membership, the Member will be notified in advance of the conversion date. The Company reserves the right to modify Free Trial terms at its discretion, subject to disclosure at the time of enrollment.

3.3 Month-to-Month Memberships

Month-to-month memberships are billed on a recurring basis and do not require a long-term commitment. Members enrolled in a month-to-month membership may cancel at any time, subject to the cancellation timing requirements set forth in this Agreement.

In accordance with Florida law, the automatic renewal terms of this membership, including the applicable billing amount and cancellation procedure, are disclosed to the Member at the time of enrollment and are set forth in this Agreement. The Member affirmatively acknowledges these renewal terms by completing enrollment.

3.4 Annual Memberships

Annual memberships require a minimum commitment of twelve (12) months, regardless of whether payment is made in full upfront or through installment payments. Annual memberships may not be cancelled prior to completion of the minimum commitment period, and the Member remains responsible for all fees due for the full twelve (12) months.

In accordance with Florida law, the automatic renewal terms of this membership, including the minimum commitment period, applicable billing amount upon renewal, and cancellation procedure, are disclosed to the Member at the time of enrollment and are set forth in this Agreement. The Member affirmatively acknowledges these renewal terms by completing enrollment.

Upon completion of the minimum twelve (12) month commitment period, the membership will automatically continue on a month-to-month basis at the then-current monthly membership rate, unless canceled by the Member prior to the next scheduled billing date in accordance with this Agreement.

3.5 Payment Authorization

Payments for the Services are processed electronically through third-party payment processors or may be accepted via wire transfer or other approved payment methods. The Member authorizes the Company and its payment processors to charge the selected payment method for all applicable fees in accordance with the selected Membership Option and billing cadence.

3.6 Cancellation and Refund Policy

We want every Member to feel confident in their membership. If you have a concern about a charge or your membership, please contact us directly at contact@bigpicturetrading.com — we resolve most issues faster and more fairly than any third-party process.

Cancellation requests for any Membership Option must be submitted at least three (3) business days prior to the next scheduled billing date in order to be effective for that billing period, as cancellation requests may take up to three (3) business days to process.

Fees already charged are non-refundable, including for unused time or partial billing periods, except where required by applicable law. Refunds, if any, will be issued solely at the Company's discretion. The Member acknowledges that initiating a chargeback or payment dispute without first contacting the Company in accordance with Section 11.1 constitutes a material breach of this Agreement and that failure to cancel in accordance with this Agreement does not constitute a billing error.

3.7 Currency and Fee Changes

All fees and charges under this Agreement are denominated in United States Dollars (USD) unless expressly stated otherwise at the time of enrollment.

The Company reserves the right to modify membership fees, billing rates, billing cadence, or pricing structures from time to time. Any such changes will apply prospectively and will be communicated to Members with at least thirty (30) days' advance notice, in accordance with this Agreement.

SECTION 4 — TERM, RENEWAL, AND CANCELLATION

4.1 Membership Term

A Member's membership term begins on the date of enrollment and continues in accordance with the selected Membership Option, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Agreement.

4.2 Month-to-Month Membership Renewal

Month-to-month memberships automatically renew at the applicable billing cadence until cancelled by the Member. To avoid being charged for a subsequent billing period, cancellation requests must be submitted in accordance with the cancellation timing requirements set forth in Section 3.6.

4.3 Annual Membership Commitment

Annual memberships require a minimum commitment of twelve (12) months and may not be cancelled prior to completion of the minimum commitment period. The Member remains responsible for all fees due for the full twelve (12) month term, regardless of payment method.

4.4 Post-Commitment Renewal for Annual Memberships

Upon completion of the initial twelve (12) month commitment period, the annual membership will continue based on the billing method selected at enrollment, unless the Member cancels prior to the next scheduled billing date in accordance with this Agreement.

For annual memberships paid through monthly installment payments, the membership will automatically continue on a month-to-month basis following completion of the initial twelve (12) month commitment, unless cancelled in accordance with this Agreement.

For annual memberships paid upfront in a single payment, the membership will renew on an annual basis at the then-current annual rate, unless cancelled prior to the next scheduled billing date in accordance with this Agreement.

4.5 Effect of Pricing or Billing Changes

In the event of any change to membership fees, billing rates, billing cadence, or pricing structures pursuant to Section 3.7, the Company will provide advance notice of such change. If a Member does not agree to the updated terms, the Member may cancel the membership prior to the effective date of the change.

For Members enrolled in an annual membership, any changes to membership fees or billing rates will take effect only after completion of the then-current minimum commitment period. Annual Members will continue to be billed at their existing rate for the duration of their initial twelve (12) month commitment.

4.6 Effect of Cancellation

Upon cancellation or expiration of a membership, the Member's access to the Services will terminate at the end of the applicable billing period, subject to the cancellation timing requirements set forth in this Agreement. Cancellation does not entitle the Member to any refund of fees already paid, except where required by applicable law.

4.7 Membership Pause (Optional Account Freeze)

The Company may, in its sole discretion, permit Members to temporarily pause their membership (a "Pause") subject to the following conditions:

(a) A Member must submit written notice through their account or by email at least three (3) business days prior to the next scheduled billing date. Pauses are not applied retroactively.

(b) A Member may request one (1) Pause per rolling twelve (12) month period.

(c) Members enrolled under an Annual Membership are not eligible to request or receive a Pause during their initial twelve (12) month commitment period. Pause eligibility begins only after completion of the initial commitment term.

(d) A Pause may be requested for any duration up to sixty (60) consecutive days. The selected Pause period must be specified at the time of request.

(e) A $50 administrative fee will apply to each approved Pause.

(f) During a Pause, the Member's access to all Services, including analytics, trades, tools, educational materials, tutorials, workshops, AI functionality, and support, will be suspended.

(g) Billing will automatically resume at the conclusion of the approved Pause period unless the Member requests earlier reactivation. If a Member requests early reactivation, access will resume and billing will recommence immediately.

(h) Members enrolled in installment-based financing for the Asymmetric Trading Program are not eligible to request or receive a Pause during any period in which installment payments remain outstanding.

(i) If membership pricing changes during a Pause, billing will resume at the then-current rate upon reactivation.

(j) A Pause may not be used to avoid price increases, billing changes, contractual commitments, or other obligations.

The Company reserves the right to approve, deny, or condition any Pause request in its sole discretion, including in cases involving documented extenuating circumstances.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to exclude or limit any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. In such cases, liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

SECTION 10 — INDEMNIFICATION

The Member agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, owners, officers, employees, contractors, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs), whether arising in contract, tort, statute, regulation, or otherwise, arising out of or related to:

10.2 Control of Defense

The Company reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by the Member. In such case, the Member agrees to cooperate fully with the Company in asserting any available defenses and resolving the matter.

10.3 Settlement Restrictions

The Member may not settle any claim subject to indemnification without the Company's prior written consent if such settlement would impose any obligation, admission of fault, or liability on the Company.

10.4 Survival

The obligations set forth in this Section shall survive termination or expiration of the Member's access to the Services.

SECTION 11 — DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

11.1 Informal Resolution Requirement (Including Payment Disputes)

Before initiating any arbitration, court proceeding, chargeback, payment dispute, or other claim through a payment processor, financial institution, or third party, the Member agrees to first contact the Company in writing at contact@bigpicturetrading.com and make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally.

Any notice of dispute must include the Member's name, contact information, a description of the dispute, and the relief sought. The parties agree to attempt informal resolution for a period of at least thirty (30) days before commencing arbitration, initiating a chargeback or payment dispute, or pursuing any other formal remedy, unless the dispute is not capable of informal resolution.

Failure to comply with this informal resolution requirement constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.

11.2 Binding Arbitration

Except as expressly provided in Section 11.5, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Services, the Content, or the relationship between the Member and the Company shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court.

The arbitrator shall not have authority to consolidate claims, hear class or representative actions, or award relief on a class-wide basis. If any portion of this class action waiver is found unenforceable, that portion shall be severed, and the remaining provisions of this Section shall remain in full force and effect.

11.5 Exceptions for Injunctive Relief

(a) unauthorized use or misuse of the Services or Content;

(b) infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights;

Such actions shall not be deemed a waiver of the Company's right to arbitrate any other dispute.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the arbitration shall take place in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The Company may elect to conduct the arbitration remotely or by written submissions. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Filing fees and arbitration costs shall be allocated in accordance with the applicable AAA fee schedule.

This Agreement, and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Services, the Content, or the relationship between the Member and the Company, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

12.2 Venue for Permitted Court Proceedings

Subject to Section 11, any legal action or proceeding that is permitted to be brought in court shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, or in such other court of competent jurisdiction as the Company may elect, and the parties irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

12.3 Waiver of Objections

The Member irrevocably waives any objection to venue or jurisdiction in such courts, including any claim that such forum is inconvenient, improper, or lacks jurisdiction.

SECTION 13 — SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION OF ACCESS

13.1 Right to Suspend or Terminate

The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend, restrict, or terminate a Member's access to the Services, in whole or in part, including but not limited to circumstances where the Company reasonably determines that the Member:

(a) has violated this Agreement or any applicable law, rule, or regulation;

(b) has misused, shared, redistributed, or misrepresented the Services or Content;

(f) has initiated a chargeback, payment dispute, or other claim in violation of Section 11.1.

13.2 No Notice Required

The Company may exercise its rights under this Section without prior notice, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and is not obligated to provide an explanation or justification for any suspension or termination decision.

13.3 Effect of Suspension or Termination

Suspension or termination of access does not relieve the Member of any payment obligations incurred prior to the effective date of suspension or termination. No refunds will be provided, except where required by applicable law.

Upon termination, the Member's right to access the Services and Content immediately ceases.

13.4 Reinstatement

The Company may, but is not obligated to, reinstate a Member's access to the Services following suspension or termination, subject to such conditions as the Company may determine in its sole discretion. Reinstatement of access is not automatic, including in cases of suspension for non-payment, and may be conditioned upon payment of outstanding amounts and full compliance with this Agreement.

13.5 Survival

Termination or suspension of access does not affect any provisions of this Agreement that by their nature are intended to survive termination, including but not limited to Sections relating to intellectual property, confidentiality, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and governing law.
