If you do not agree to this contract (“Contract” or “User Agreement”), do not click “Register” (or similar) and do not access or otherwise use any of our Services. If you wish to terminate this contract, at any time you can do so by requesting the closure of your account and no longer accessing or using our Services. This Contract applies to ARETE Market communications and other services that state that they are offered under this Contract (“Services”), including the offsite collection of data for those Services, such as any ads and plugins. Registered users of our Services are “Members” and unregistered users are “Visitors”. 1.1 ARETE Market You are entering into this Contract with ARETE Market (also referred to as “we” and “us”). You are entering into this Contract with ARETE Market which will be the controller of your personal data provided to, or collected by or for, or processed in connection with our Services. As a Visitor or Member of our Services, the collection, use and sharing of your personal data is subject to this GDPR, Privacy and Cookies Policy and updates. 1.2 Members and Visitors When you register and join the ARETE Market Services, you become a Member. If you have chosen not to register for our Services, you may access certain features as a “Visitor.” 1.3 Changes to the Contract We may modify this Contract, our Privacy Policy and our Cookies Policy from time to time. If we make material changes to it, we will provide you notice through our Services, or by other means, to provide you the opportunity to review the changes before they become effective. We agree that changes cannot be retroactive. If you object to any changes, you may close your account. Your continued use of our Services after we publish or send a notice about our changes to these terms means that you are consenting to the updated terms as of their effective date. 2 Obligations 2.1 Service Eligibility The Services are not for use by anyone under the age of 16. To use the Services, you agree that: (1) you must be the “Minimum Age”(described below) or older; (2) you will only have one ARETE Market account, which must be in your real name; and (3) you are not already restricted by ARETE Market from using the Services. Creating an account with false information is a violation of our terms, including accounts registered on behalf of others or persons under the age of 16. “Minimum Age” means 16 years old. However, if law requires that you must be older in order for ARETE Market to lawfully provide the Services to you without parental consent (including using of your personal data) then the Minimum Age is such older age. 2.2 Your Account Members are account holders. You agree to: (1) use a strong password and keep it confidential; (2) not transfer any part of your account (e.g., content) and (3) follow the law and our Publishing Guidelines. You are responsible for anything that happens through your account unless you close it or report misuse. 2.4 Notices and Messages You agree that we will provide notices and messages to you in the following ways: (1) within the Service, or (2) sent to the contact information you provided us (e.g., email, mobile number, physical address). You agree to keep your contact information up to date. 2.5 Sharing Our Services allow comments and sharing of information in many ways, such as your profile and ARLEM uploads. Information and content that you share or post may be seen by other Members, Visitors or others (including off of the Services).

We are not obligated to publish any information or content on our Service and can remove it with or without notice. 3 Rights and Limits 3.1 Your License to ARETE Market As between you and ARETE Market, you own the content and information that you submit or post to the Services, and you are only granting ARETE Market the following non-exclusive license: A worldwide, transferable and sublicensable right to use, copy, modify, distribute, publish and process, information and content that you provide through our Services and the services of others, without any further consent, notice and/or compensation to you or others. These rights are limited in the following ways: - You can end this license for specific content by deleting such content from the Services, or generally by closing your account, except (a) to the extent you shared it with others as part of the Service and they copied, re-shared it or stored it and (b) for the reasonable time it takes to remove from backup and other systems. - We will not include your content in advertisements for the products and services of third parties to others without your separate consent (including sponsored content).

With respect to jurisdiction, you and ARETE Market agree to choose the courts of the country to which we direct your Services where you have habitual residence for all disputes arising out of or relating to this User Agreement, or in the alternative, you may choose the responsible court in Ireland. 7 General Terms If a court with authority over this Contract finds any part of it unenforceable, you and we agree that the court should modify the terms to make that part enforceable while still achieving its intent. If the court cannot do that, you and we agree to ask the court to remove that unenforceable part and still enforce the rest of this Contract. This Contract (including additional terms that may be provided by us when you engage with a feature of the Services) is the only agreement between us regarding the Services and supersedes all prior agreements for the Services. If we don’t act to enforce a breach of this Contract, that does not mean that ARETE Market has waived its right to enforce this Contract.

However, you agree that ARETE Market may assign this Contract to its affiliates or a party that buys it without your consent. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Contract.
