1. Acceptance and eligibility
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a legal agreement between you and 501 Group LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company ("501 Group," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the BrierIQ website, applications, tools, alerts, data, and related services (together, the "Service").
By accessing the Service, creating an account, or clicking to accept these Terms, you agree to be bound by them and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you are accepting on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" refers to that organization.
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a contract. The Service is offered from the United States and is intended for users located in the United States. We make no representation that the Service is appropriate or available in other locations, and you are responsible for compliance with local law if you access it from elsewhere.
2. About BrierIQ and what it is not
BrierIQ is an event-market analytics and research platform. It provides tools for market monitoring, probability and calibration review, methodology education, and research workflows.
BrierIQ does not operate an exchange, designated contract market, swap execution facility, broker-dealer, futures commission merchant, introducing broker, prediction market, sportsbook, money transmitter, or any other trading venue.
BrierIQ does not place orders, route orders, execute or clear transactions, hold or custody customer funds or positions, provide direct links into any exchange or trading interface, or act as your agent in any transaction.
501 Group is not registered with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Futures Association, FINRA, or any state securities or gaming regulator, and does not act as an investment adviser, commodity trading advisor, commodity pool operator, or fiduciary to you. No advisory, fiduciary, brokerage, or agency relationship is created by your use of the Service.
3. Research-only analytics; no advice
All content on the Service is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. Market flags, scores, probabilities, model outputs, alerts, screens, watchlists, examples, and historical reviews are analytical outputs, not instructions, solicitations, offers, or recommendations to buy, sell, hold, or enter into any contract, position, wager, or transaction.
Nothing on the Service is tailored to your objectives, financial situation, risk tolerance, or circumstances. We do not know your circumstances and do not evaluate whether anything on the Service is suitable for you.
You are solely responsible for your own research, decisions, position sizing, risk management, tax treatment, and compliance with all laws and third-party rules that apply to you, including the rules of any exchange or platform you use. You should consult your own qualified professional advisers before acting on any information obtained from the Service.
Event contracts and similar instruments carry risk, including the risk of total loss of amounts committed. You accept that risk entirely.
4. Beta status and changes to the Service
The Service is currently offered as a controlled beta, invite-only, or otherwise limited-access product. Beta features are provided for evaluation and may be incomplete, experimental, inaccurate, or unavailable. Features, coverage, data sources, thresholds, limits, and pricing may be added, changed, degraded, paused, or removed at any time without notice.
Some pages contain sample, illustrative, static, or historical content. Where that is the case, we label it on the page. Labeled sample content does not represent live market conditions, live alerts, or current opportunities.
We do not commit to any service level, uptime, latency, refresh cadence, or coverage during beta or afterward unless we agree to one in a separate signed written agreement.
5. Accounts and account security
You must provide accurate registration information and keep it current. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account and for keeping your credentials confidential. Accounts are for a single named user; you may not share, sell, transfer, or allow others to use your account or credentials.
Notify us promptly at support@brieriq.com if you suspect unauthorized use of your account. We may require identity verification before acting on account requests.
6. License to use the Service
Subject to these Terms and to any plan limits, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Service and its outputs for your own personal or internal business research purposes.
You may not reproduce, publish, redistribute, resell, sublicense, syndicate, or make available to any third party the data, scores, probabilities, alerts, screens, exports, or other outputs of the Service, or use them to build, train, evaluate, or improve any competing product, dataset, model, index, or service. Limited internal quotation with attribution to BrierIQ is permitted where it is not a substitute for access to the Service.
All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
7. Plans, fees, renewal, and cancellation
Plans. We may offer plans such as Core, Plus, and Direct. Plan names, prices, features, and access limits are described on our pricing page and may change. Direct or API access is by request, is evaluated case by case, and is not guaranteed.
Beta access. Access during controlled beta is currently provided free of charge except for participants in a controlled checkout test. Free access may end, and paid plans may become required, on notice.
Authorization to charge. If you subscribe to a paid plan, you authorize us and our payment processor to charge your selected payment method for the plan fee plus applicable taxes. You represent that you are authorized to use that payment method.
Automatic renewal. Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current rate until you cancel. We will charge your payment method at the start of each renewal period.
Cancellation. You may cancel at any time through your account page or by emailing support@brieriq.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access until then.
Refunds. Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable and we do not provide refunds or credits for partial periods, unused access, or downgrades. [CONFIRM WITH COUNSEL: state-specific auto-renewal and cancellation disclosure requirements, and whether a stated refund window is preferred.]
Price changes. We may change fees for future billing periods. We will give you advance notice by email or in-product before a change takes effect, and the change applies at your next renewal. Continuing after that date is acceptance of the new fee.
Taxes and failed payments. Fees exclude applicable taxes, which you are responsible for. If a payment fails, we may retry, suspend access, or terminate the subscription.
8. Alerts and communications
The Service may deliver criteria-triggered research notifications by email, Discord, or other channels. Alerts are research notifications only. They are not recommendations, instructions, execution signals, or confirmations of any market state.
Alerts depend on third-party data and delivery systems and may be delayed, throttled, duplicated, missed, paused, disabled, or wrong. We do not guarantee that any alert will be generated, delivered, or timely, and you must not rely on alerts as your sole basis for any decision.
By creating an account, you consent to receive service, transactional, security, billing, and support communications from us electronically. These are part of your account and are not marketing messages you can opt out of while your account is active, though you may cancel your account at any time.
9. Historical examples and performance information
We may publish resolved historical research examples after the relevant market has closed, the outcome is known, and our internal verification thresholds are met.
Historical examples and any accuracy, calibration, or scoring statistics are historical or hypothetical, are limited to the specific markets and periods shown, and are not a promise, projection, or guarantee of future results. They may not reflect all market conditions, fees, spreads, slippage, timing, liquidity, position sizing, or the results any user actually achieved or would achieve.
No representation is made that any user has obtained or is likely to obtain results similar to those shown.
10. Third-party services, data, and independence
The Service incorporates and references data, names, and services owned by third parties. All third-party names, marks, and content belong to their respective owners.
BrierIQ is independent and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or licensed by Kalshi or any exchange, sportsbook, data provider, or regulator. References to third parties are nominative and descriptive only.
Third-party data may be delayed, incomplete, restated, or withdrawn, and third-party services may change or terminate access without notice. We are not responsible for third-party data, services, sites, or terms. You are responsible for reading and complying with the terms of any third-party service you use, including any exchange, broker, or platform.
11. Acceptable use
You may not, and may not permit anyone else to: scrape, crawl, harvest, or bulk-download the Service or its data without our prior written permission; use bots, scripts, or automated means to access the Service outside a documented API we provide to you; reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code, models, thresholds, or weights; circumvent or attempt to circumvent plan limits, rate limits, paywalls, authentication, or access controls; share credentials or resell access; interfere with the security, integrity, or availability of the Service; upload malware or unlawful content; misrepresent your identity or affiliation; use the Service to violate any law, regulation, exchange rule, or third-party terms; or misuse support channels, community spaces, alerts, or beta access.
You also may not use the Service or its outputs in connection with any activity that is illegal in your jurisdiction, including gaming or wagering activity that is prohibited where you are located.
12. User submissions and feedback
You retain ownership of the content you submit, including forecasts, notes, watchlists, and support messages ("Your Content"). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, and display Your Content solely to operate, secure, support, and improve the Service, and to create aggregated or de-identified data that does not identify you or your organization.
You represent that you have the rights necessary to submit Your Content and that it does not infringe anyone's rights or violate any law or confidentiality obligation.
If you send us feedback, suggestions, or feature requests, you grant us an unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free right to use and implement it without obligation, attribution, or compensation.
13. Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, models, methodology, dashboards, analytics presentation, text, graphics, design, and compilations of data, is owned by 501 Group LLC or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property and other laws.
BrierIQ™ and related names, logos, designs, product names, and service marks are trademarks or service marks of 501 Group LLC. You may not use BrierIQ branding without our prior written permission.
If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice with the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to support@brieriq.com, attention: DMCA Agent. [CONFIRM WITH COUNSEL: whether to register a DMCA agent with the U.S. Copyright Office and list the registered agent here.]
14. Privacy
Our collection and use of personal information is described in the Privacy Policy. By using the Service you agree to that policy.
15. Suspension, termination, and survival
You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, in whole or in part, with or without notice, for suspected violation of these Terms, security or fraud risk, non-payment, abuse of the Service or our staff, legal requirement, or discontinuation of the Service or a feature.
On termination, your license ends and we may delete or de-identify your account data in the ordinary course, subject to the retention practices in the Privacy Policy and any legal hold. Sections 3, 6 (restrictions), 9, 10, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21 survive termination.
16. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ALL DATA, MODELS, SCORES, PROBABILITIES, ALERTS, AND OTHER OUTPUTS, IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, 501 GROUP LLC AND ITS LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; THAT DATA OR OUTPUTS WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR RELIABLE; THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; OR THAT USE OF THE SERVICE WILL PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR RESULT, INCLUDING ANY FINANCIAL RESULT. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM US CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HERE.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you.
17. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, 501 GROUP LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, LICENSORS, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST OR MISSED TRADING OR MARKET OPPORTUNITY, TRADING OR WAGERING LOSSES, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE WERE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).
These limitations apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose, and they allocate risk between us in exchange for the pricing of the Service. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
18. Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless 501 Group LLC and its members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, agents, and licensors from and against any third-party claims, demands, actions, and proceedings, and any resulting losses, damages, liabilities, settlements, penalties, fines, costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to: your use of the Service or its outputs; your breach of these Terms or of any applicable law, exchange rule, or third-party terms; Your Content; your trading, wagering, or other market activity; or your infringement or misappropriation of any third party's rights.
We will notify you of any such claim, and we may assume exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you will cooperate with us.
19. Dispute resolution, arbitration, and class action waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
19.1 Informal resolution first. Before starting an arbitration or other proceeding, you agree to send a written notice of dispute to support@brieriq.com and to [NOTICE ADDRESS] describing the claim and the relief sought, and to negotiate in good faith for at least 30 days. This step is a condition to starting arbitration.
19.2 Binding arbitration. If the dispute is not resolved, you and 501 Group LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, including their formation, interpretation, breach, or termination, will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
19.3 Arbitration procedure. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. The seat will be [Cheyenne, Wyoming / CONFIRM], and hearings may be held by telephone or video or, at your election for claims under the applicable AAA threshold, on documents only. The arbitrator may award any relief available in an individual action in court, and the award may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
19.4 Class action and jury waiver. YOU AND 501 GROUP LLC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS OR PRESIDE OVER ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AND 501 GROUP LLC WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. If this paragraph is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request will be severed and heard in court under Section 20, and the rest of this Section 19 remains in effect.
19.5 Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies, and either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property or address unauthorized access to or use of the Service.
19.6 Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing support@brieriq.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out," including your name and the email address on your account, within 30 days after you first accept these Terms. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
19.7 Time limit. To the extent permitted by law, any claim must be filed within one year after it arises, or it is permanently barred.
[CONFIRM WITH COUNSEL: AAA vs. an alternative administrator, fee allocation, mass-arbitration protocol, and whether the one-year limitations period is enforceable in the relevant states.]
20. Governing law and venue
These Terms and any dispute arising out of them are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and 501 Group LLC consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in [Laramie County, Wyoming / CONFIRM], and waive any objection to those forums.
21. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. If we make a material change, we will provide notice by posting the updated Terms with a new effective date and, for account holders, by email or in-product notice before the change takes effect. Changes apply prospectively.
Your continued use of the Service after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and cancel your account. If we materially change Section 19, you may reject that change by notifying us within 30 days, in which case the prior version of Section 19 applies to disputes that had already arisen.
22. General
Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and 501 Group LLC about the Service and supersede prior agreements and understandings on that subject.
Severability and waiver. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.
Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including outages, provider failures, network or data-source disruption, natural events, labor conditions, or governmental action.
Notices. We may give notice by email to the address on your account or by posting in the Service. Legal notices to us must be sent to [NOTICE ADDRESS] with a copy to support@brieriq.com.
Electronic contracting. You consent to transact electronically and agree that electronic acceptance, records, and signatures satisfy any requirement that an agreement be in writing.
Export and sanctions. You represent that you are not located in an embargoed jurisdiction and are not on any U.S. government restricted-party list, and you will not use the Service in violation of export control or sanctions laws.
No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not create rights in any third party, except that our licensors and suppliers are intended beneficiaries of Sections 16 and 17.
Relationship. Nothing here creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between you and 501 Group LLC.
Headings. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
