These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website at stocksvisualized.com and stocksvisualised.com, together with all pages, application programming interfaces (“APIs”), data, charts, and content made available through them (collectively, the “Service”). The Service is operated by [OPERATOR LEGAL NAME] (“StocksVisualized,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Service, whether as a human visitor or through any automated system, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Service.
By using the Service you represent that you are able to form a binding contract and that your use complies with all applicable laws. These Terms apply equally to human users and to any bot, crawler, agent, script, model, or other automated system that accesses the Service (each an “Automated Agent”). If you access the Service on behalf of an organization, you accept these Terms for that organization and represent that you are authorized to do so.
The Service presents financial information about publicly traded companies. The raw, underlying facts are derived from public filings made available by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission through the EDGAR system. Those raw facts are public and are not claimed by us.
What the Service adds — and what we do claim — is the product of substantial independent effort: the selection, extraction, normalization, reconciliation, and arrangement of those facts into a consistent dataset (the “Compilation”), the proprietary methodology by which we normalize non-standardized filing data, and the original presentation (charts, layout, explanatory notes, and text). The Compilation may differ from the raw filings and from other data providers because of these normalization choices.
The Service is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not investment, financial, legal, tax, or accounting advice, is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security, and does not create any advisory or fiduciary relationship. You should not make any financial decision in reliance on the Service. Always verify figures against the primary source filings and consult a qualified professional.
The data is normalized by automated processes and may contain errors, omissions, delays, or inaccuracies. We do not warrant that any figure is accurate, complete, current, or fit for any purpose. Nothing on the Service is an offer or solicitation in any jurisdiction where that would be unlawful.
Not claimed: individual, factual data points as reported in public SEC filings. Facts are not owned by anyone.
Claimed and protected: to the fullest extent permitted by law, we and our licensors retain all rights in (a) the Compilation as a whole, including its selection, coordination, and arrangement, which is protected as a compilation and, where applicable, by database rights; (b) our normalization and reconciliation methodology, which we treat as proprietary and confidential; (c) all original expression, including the website design and code, chart and visualization designs, explanatory notes, and written descriptions; and (d) the “StocksVisualized” name, logo, and brand. Except for the limited license in Section 5, no rights are granted to you.
We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to:
This license does not permit any use described in Section 7.
We welcome indexing and citation by search engines, answer engines, and AI assistants, and we want our data to be found and referenced. Subject to these Terms, we grant operators of such systems a non-exclusive license to crawl, index, and cite the Service — including quoting limited figures to answer a user’s question — on the condition that the source is attributed to StocksVisualized with a link or clearly identifiable reference to the originating page.
This license does not extend to, and we do not permit:
Our stated preferences for automated access are additionally published at /llms.txt and /robots.txt. Where those files and these Terms address the same subject, these Terms govern.
You agree that you will not, and will not permit any Automated Agent to:
The Service’s APIs are provided to support the official StocksVisualized web application only. They are not a public data feed, and no right to access them independently of that application is granted. We employ technical measures — including rate limiting, request authentication, and access controls — to protect the Service. Attempting to bypass, defeat, or reverse-engineer these measures is a material breach of these Terms and may violate applicable law, including laws prohibiting the circumvention of technological protection measures and unauthorized access to computer systems.
The Compilation contains proprietary provenance and integrity markers, which may include distinctive normalization conventions and one or more fictitious entries that do not correspond to any real security or issuer and exist solely to detect copying. These markers are not investment information and should not be relied upon. The presence of any such marker or fictitious entry in a third party’s dataset, product, or service is evidence that the Compilation was copied in breach of these Terms.
Where attribution is required or requested, use the following form (or a substantially equivalent one):
Source: StocksVisualized (stocksvisualized.com), from SEC EDGAR filings.
For a specific figure, link where possible to the relevant page, e.g.
https://stocksvisualized.com/NVDA/revenue. Attribution does not by itself authorize any use
prohibited by Section 7.
We may, at our discretion and without notice, limit, suspend, or terminate access to the Service for any user or Automated Agent that we reasonably believe is violating these Terms, and we reserve all remedies available at law and in equity. If you believe content on the Service, or on another site, infringes your rights — or if you wish to report a clone or unauthorized republication of our Compilation — contact us at [CONTACT EMAIL] with sufficient detail to identify the material and the alleged infringement.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY DATA IS ACCURATE OR COMPLETE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL STOCKSVISUALIZED OR ITS OPERATORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR INVESTMENT LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless StocksVisualized and its operators from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Service.
StocksVisualized is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any company, issuer, or exchange referenced on the Service. All company names, ticker symbols, logos, and trademarks are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification purposes only.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes take effect when we post the revised Terms with an updated “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the [State of California, USA], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in [San Francisco County, California], and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.
