Terms of use

Venuity is a game and a social network, not an investment adviser. Everything on Venuity, including calls, takes, comments, votes, scores, ranks, tiers, leaderboards and stock pages, is for informational, educational and entertainment purposes only.

• Nothing on Venuity is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security, or a statement that any investment is suitable for you.
• Calls and takes are the personal opinions of the members who post them. Venuity doesn't verify them, endorse them or check members' qualifications.
• Ranks measure past graded calls and votes only. Past results don't predict future returns, and a high rank doesn't mean someone's next call will be right.
• Venuity isn't registered as a dealer, adviser or portfolio manager with any securities regulator. We don't place trades, hold money or connect to brokerage accounts.
• Investing involves risk, including losing money. Do your own research and consider talking to a licensed professional before making investment decisions.

• You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to use Venuity.
• Keep access to your email secure. Anyone who can open the sign-in links we send you can use your account.
• One account per person. Don't impersonate anyone or pretend to be affiliated with a company, fund or regulator you aren't.

Calls are stamped with the market price when you submit them during market hours, or at the next session's opening price if the market is closed, and are graded automatically against the S&P 500 (SPY) at expiry, using closing prices from third-party data providers. Calls can't be edited or deleted once made, so the record stays honest.

Market data can be delayed, missing or wrong. If we find a pricing or grading error, we may correct the grade and any ranks it affected. Grades, points, tiers and seasons are part of a game. They have no cash value and can't be redeemed or transferred.

Be useful and honest. Don't post or do any of the following:

• Pump-and-dump schemes, coordinated promotion, or anything meant to manipulate a security's price.
• Material non-public (inside) information, or anything you're legally not allowed to share.
• Undisclosed paid promotion. If you're paid or compensated to talk about a stock, say so in the post.
• Spam, scams, referral links, harassment, hate, threats, or other people's private information.
• Anything illegal, or content you don't have the rights to post.
• Automated access, scraping, or attempts to break, overload or game the site or the rankings, including multiple accounts.

We may remove content, reset ranks, or suspend or close accounts that break these rules, at our discretion.

You own what you post. By posting it you give Venuity a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display, share and promote it in connection with running and marketing Venuity, including in screenshots and leaderboards. Calls and takes are public, and their graded results stay on your record.

Joining is free. Free accounts can make a limited number of graded calls; some features, such as more graded calls, the Venuity Index and the catalyst calendar, require a paid membership. Prices and what's included are shown on the pricing page before you pay. Paid memberships renew automatically until you cancel, and you can cancel anytime from your account; access continues until the end of the period you've paid for. Payments are processed by Stripe. Except where the law requires otherwise, payments aren't refundable.

We're building Venuity in public and will change, add and remove features. We provide it "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, including accuracy of market data, uptime or fitness for a particular purpose.

To the fullest extent the law allows, Venuity isn't liable for any investment losses or for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages from using the site, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before it arose (or CAD $50 if you haven't paid anything).

You can stop using Venuity at any time. To delete your account, email support@venuity.ai from the address you signed up with. We may suspend or end access if you break these terms.

We may update these terms. If a change is significant, we'll let you know on the site or by email before it takes effect. These terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada that apply there.
