The results obtained by USER will depend on the use USER makes of the service and on market variables, all of which are beyond the control of MDI. MDI THEREFORE MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICE OR THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED BY USING THE INFORMATION PROVIDED. ACCORDINGLY, THE SERVICE AND INFORMATION FURNISHED ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY AS TO PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. The entire risk as to the results and performance of the Service is assumed by USER. USER assumes the entire risk of loss from the use of the information provided.

5. INFORMATION CONTAINED IN REVIEWS. The information contained in the MDI reviews and on the website has been taken from trade and statistical sources which MDI believes are reliable. MDI does not guarantee that such information is accurate or complete and it should not be relied upon as such. Any opinions expressed reflect judgments at the date the report(s) are prepared and are subject to change at any time. The principals of MDI and others associated or affiliated with them exercise independent judgment in marketing, and USERs are expected to exercise their own judgment and prudence as well. USERs are reminded of the inherent risks associated with trading futures contracts, grain contracts, livestock contracts, or other marketing methods.

6. HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any USER's marketing plan will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown on the MDI reviews. There are frequently significant differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular marketing program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical marketing does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical marketing record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in an actual marketing situation. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular marketing program in spite of losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual marketing results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or the implementation of any specific marketing program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual marketing results.

7. COPYRIGHT. The MDI manual and reviews provided with the MDI "Marketing Information Service" are copyrighted and all rights are reserved. The MDI manual and the reviews provided may not, in whole or part, be copied, photocopied, reproduced, translated, or reduced to any electronic medium or machine readable form without prior consent, in writing, from Market Data, Inc., and shall be returned to MDI upon any cancellation of the service.

8. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; CHANGE IN TERMS BY NOTICE. The contract information set forth in Paragraphs 1 through 7 above is the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between MDI and USER and supersedes any proposal or prior agreement, oral or written, between MDI and USER.
