You agree that You will not submit material to Market that is copyrighted, protected by trade secret or otherwise subject to third party proprietary rights, including patent, privacy and publicity rights, unless You are the owner of such rights or have permission from their rightful owner to submit the material.

    6. All rights to Trademarks, as well as property rights and titles, including but not limited to any and all rights to intellectual property are the property of their respective owners or license holders.

    1. Except for the rights granted by You to MetaQuotes Ltd under the license as per Section III, MetaQuotes Ltd agrees that it obtains no right, title or interest from You (or Your licensors) under this Agreement in or to any Products, including any intellectual property rights which subsist in applications, or percentage of sales.

    2. You agree to use Market only for purposes that are permitted by (a) this Agreement, and (b) any applicable law, regulation or generally accepted practices or guidelines in the relevant jurisdictions.

    3. You agree that if You use Market to distribute Products, You will protect the privacy and legal rights of Users. If the Users provide You with, or Your Product accesses or uses such data as, user names, passwords, or other registration information, You must make the Users aware that such data will be available to Your Product, and You must provide legally adequate privacy notice and protection for those Users. Further, Your Product may only use that information for the limited purposes for which the Users have given You permission to do so. If Your Product stores personal or sensitive information provided by Users, it must do so securely and only for as long as it is needed. But if the User has opted into a separate agreement with You that allows You or Your Product to store or use personal or sensitive information directly related to that Product (not including other Products or applications) then the terms of that separate agreement will govern Your use of such information. If the User provides Your Product with his Account information for MetaQuotes Software, Your Product may only use that information to access the User's Account for MetaQuotes Software when, and for the limited purposes for which, the User has given You permission to do so.

    4. Prohibited Actions.

Products may not contain deliberate operation restrictions or change their functionality depending on the account type, account number, trade server name and other similar conditions under which they are used.

    5. Non-Compete. You may not use Market to distribute or make available any Product whose primary purpose is to facilitate the distribution of software applications for MetaTrader 5 Trading Terminal outside of Market.

    6. You agree that You are solely responsible for (and that MetaQuotes Ltd has no responsibility to You or to any third party for) any Products You distribute via Market and for the consequences of Your actions (including any loss or damage which MetaQuotes Ltd may suffer) by doing so.

    7. You agree that You are solely responsible for (and that MetaQuotes Ltd has no responsibility to You or to any third party for) any breach of Your obligations under this Agreement, any applicable third party contract or terms of service, or any applicable law or regulation, and for the consequences of any such breach (including any loss or damage which MetaQuotes Ltd or any third party may suffer).

    8. Product Ratings. Market Users shall be allowed to rate Products. Only Users who downloaded the full version of the applicable Product shall be able to rate it, with higher rated Products generally given better placement, subject to ability of MetaQuotes Ltd to change placement of Products at its sole discretion. Market Administration may also assign a composite score for any Product that has not received User ratings. A Developer Composite Score shall be a representation of the Product quality and will be determined by MetaQuotes Ltd based on Your history at its sole discretion. For new Developers without Product history, MetaQuotes Ltd may use or publish performance measurements such as uninstall and/or refund rates to identify or remove Products that are not meeting acceptable standards, as determined by MetaQuotes Ltd. MetaQuotes Ltd reserves the right to display Products to Users in a manner that will be determined at the sole discretion of MetaQuotes Ltd.

      Your Products may be subject to User ratings to which You may not agree. You may contact MetaQuotes Ltd. if You have any questions or concerns regarding such ratings.

    10. Restricted Content. Any Product distributed via Market must adhere to the Developer Program Policies.


    V. Pricing and Payments

    1. This Agreement covers both Product Licenses You choose to distribute for free and Product Licenses for which You charge a fee. In order to charge a fee for Your Product Licenses, You must have a valid Payment Account under a separate agreement with a Payment Processor.

      Product Licenses shall be offered to users at the prices, which You determine at your own discretion. If according to MetaQuotes Ltd, Product License sales are taxable, You authorize MetaQuotes Ltd to include the appropriate Tax amount into the payment charged from the buyer, in addition to the License price. Product Prices shall be expressed in US dollars. Market may display the prices of Products to Users in their native currency, but it shall not be responsible for the accuracy of currency rates or conversion.

    2. All financial transactions in Market shall be performed in accordance with the Market Payment System Regulations. The operational fee of the Market service is equal to 20%.

    3. For Product Licenses sold in European Union member states, MetaQuotes Ltd determines whether the Product License is taxable (for example, subject to VAT). If the Product License is taxable, MetaQuotes Ltd or the Payment Processor shall collect the taxes arising from the sales of the License to users and shall pay them to the appropriate tax authority.

      For Product Licenses sold in other countries and regions, You shall determine if the Product License is taxable as well as find out the applicable tax rate. Furthermore, You are responsible for remitting taxes to the appropriate taxing authority.

      All Taxes shall be deducted from the selling price of the Product License. The remaining amount (the License sale price less the Market service operational fee of 20% and any applicable Taxes) shall be transferred to You.

    4. You may also choose to distribute Products for free. If the Product is free, You will not be charged a Transaction Fee. You may not collect future charges from Users for copies of the Products that those Users were initially allowed to download for free. This is not intended to prevent distribution of free trial versions of the Product with an "upsell" option to obtain the full version of the Product: Such free trials for Products are encouraged. In this Agreement, "free" means "there are no charges or fees of any kind for use of the Product". All fees received by Developers for Products distributed via Market must be processed by the Payment Processor.

    5. You support Your Product. You will be solely responsible for support and maintenance of Your Products and handling of any complaints about Your Products. Your contact information will be displayed in each application detail page and made available to Users for customer support purposes. Developer shall eliminate all critical errors detected in the Product which may result in the early termination of the Product operation. Failure to provide adequate support for Your Products may result in low Product ratings, less prominent product exposure, low sales and billing disputes.

    6. Installs and Reinstalls. Upon the purchase and installation of a Market Product, a special version of the Product program file is created for the User who purchased the Product which allows the use of the Product only on the equipment (computer configuration and operating system) from which such purchase (download) originated. Users shall be allowed to reinstall applications distributed via Market on other devices. However, if You remove Products from Market pursuant to subclauses 1, 2 or 3 of clause VI.1, such Products shall be removed from all sections of Market and Users shall no longer have a right or ability to reinstall the affected Products.


    VI. Product Takedowns

    1. Your Takedowns. You may remove Your Products from future distribution via Market at any time, but You must comply with this Agreement and the Payment Processor's Payment Account terms of service, including but not limited to refund requirements. Removing Your Products from future distribution via Market does not

      1. affect the license rights of Users who have previously purchased or downloaded Your Products,
      2. remove Your Products from Users' Client Terminals or from any part of Market where previously purchased or downloaded Products are stored on behalf of Users, or
      3. change Your obligation to support Products or services that have been previously purchased or downloaded by Users. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will MetaQuotes Ltd distribute in any portion of Market (including, without limitation, the section where previously purchased or downloaded applications are stored on behalf of Users) any Product that You have removed from Market and provided written notice that such removal was due to
        1. an allegation of infringement, or actual infringement, of any copyright, trademark, trade secret, trade dress, patent or other intellectual property right of any person,
        2. an allegation of defamation or actual defamation,
        3. an allegation of violation, or actual violation, of any third party's right of publicity or privacy; an allegation or determination that such Product does not comply with applicable law.

      If You violate subclauses 1 or 2 of this clause VI.1 when removing a Product from Market, and an end user purchased such Product within a year before the date of takedown, at the request of MetaQuotes Ltd, You must refund to the affected end user all amounts paid by such end user for such affected Product, less the portion of the Transaction Fee specifically allocated to the credit card and payment processing for the associated transaction.

    2. MetaQuotes Ltd Takedowns. MetaQuotes Ltd does not undertake an obligation to monitor the Products or their content, but it reserves the right to remove the Product from Market or reclassify the Product at its sole discretion if MetaQuotes Ltd is notified by You or otherwise becomes aware and determines at its sole discretion that a Product or any portion thereof or any of Your Brand Features:

      2. violates any applicable law or is subject to an injunction,

In the event that Your Product is removed because it is defective, malicious, infringes intellectual property rights of another person, defames, violates a third party's right of publicity or privacy, or does not comply with applicable law, and an end user purchased such Product within a year before the date of takedown,

      1. You must refund to MetaQuotes Ltd all amounts received, plus any associated fees (i.e. chargebacks and payment processing fees), and
