Therefore trading options can involve a high degree of financial risk. Risks associated with acquiring options include (without limitation): (i) the risk that losing your entire investment increases as the option goes out of the money and as expiration approaches; (ii) the risk that certain options may not have robust secondary markets on which to sell them, meaning that their value can only be realized upon expiration; (iii) U.S. or other regulatory agencies may impose regulations or rules that impair your ability to realize value from options; and (iv) the risk of losing your entire investment in a relatively short period of time.
General Economic and Market Conditions

The option market may be sensitive to general downward swings in the overall economy or in particular industries or geographies. Factors affecting economic conditions, including, for example, inflation rates, currency devaluation, exchange rate fluctuations, industry conditions, competition, technological developments, domestic and worldwide political, military and diplomatic events and trends and innumerable other factors outside of your control and that of the Company, which can materially and adversely affect the availability or desirability of segments of the options market.

Dispute Resolution
Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and Company agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms or the Services will be resolved by binding arbitration, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms or the use of the Services, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms or any use of the Service. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU AND COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
Exceptions. Despite the provisions above, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of you, or Company to: (i) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (ii) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
Arbitrator. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any arbitration related to this Agreement will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800- 778-7879.
Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if such other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice”). Company’s address for Notice is: Olive Advisors Inc., 31 Hudson Yards, Floor 11, New York, NY 10001. The Notice must: (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Company must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.
Fees. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in New York, New York, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (iii) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Company for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
No Class Actions. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless you and Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
In the event of a dispute between us, you agree to not engage in any conduct or communications, public or private, including on social media, designed to disparage the Company, any Company Person, or any of its programs, products or services. Where requested by law or arbitration, of course, you are not prohibited from sharing your thoughts and opinions as a part of the legal process.
If any terms of these foregoing arbitration terms are construed to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other term which shall be given full force and effect.
MISCELLANEOUS
Should any provision of this Agreement be or become invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under applicable law, the other provisions shall not be affected and shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of your and our respective successors and assigns. This Agreement is freely assignable by us, but any transfer, assignment or delegation by you, without our prior written consent, is invalid. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to its relationship and supersede all prior oral or written agreements, understandings and representations to the extent that they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof. No waiver of any of the provisions shall bind either party unless set forth in a writing specifying such waiver, consent or amendment signed by both parties. The headings of this Agreement are provided for convenience only and shall not affect its construction or interpretation.
