Options Trading
The risk of loss in trading options and other securities can be substantial. Consider all relevant risk factors, including your own personal financial situation, before engaging in any options trading. The possibility exists that you could sustain a substantial loss which could total more than your initial investment in a short period of time. Therefore, you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the risks associated with trading, you should confer with a trusted and reliable independent financial advisor. Neither the Content nor the Site provided by Scratcher constitutes a solicitation to trade any investment or security of any kind.
Options
Options are widely considered a volatile investment class, and are priced according to complex factors involving (among other factors) price, the volatility of the underlying asset, time until expiration, and interest rates. By their nature, therefore, options involve a high degree of financial risk. Risks associated with acquiring options include (without limitation): (i) the risk of losing your entire investment increases as the option goes out of the money and as expiration approaches; (ii) the risk that certain options do not have secondary markets on which to sell them, meaning that their value can only be realized upon expiration; (iii) the risk that a particular option contract may have specific exercise provisions that create additional risk; (iv) U.S. or other regulatory agencies may impose regulations or rules that impair your ability to realize value from options; and (v) the risk of losing your entire investment in a relatively short period of time.
Option Contracts
Options, and the trading of options, are typically governed by a series of complex contracts. The intent of the legal documents and contracts might be unclear, and even clear drafting could be misconstrued by counterparties or by judges and arbitrators. A dispute over interpretation of any of these documents or contracts could arise, which may result in unenforceability of the contract or other outcome that is adverse to you.
General Economic and Market Conditions
The option market will be affected by general economic and market conditions, as well as by changes in laws, currency exchange controls, and international, national, and regional political and socioeconomic circumstances. 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 Scratcher, which can materially and adversely affect the availability or desirability of segments of the options market.
Taxation
The trading of options can impose tax burdens and tax filing obligations on trade participants. Such considerations are complex and highly personal. You are urged to consult with your tax advisors with respect to your tax situation and the effect of engaging in option trading.
Counterparty Risk
The trading of options will leave you exposed to the risk that third parties that owe you money, securities or other assets will not perform their obligations. These parties include trading counterparties, brokers, clearing agents, exchanges, clearing houses, custodians, and other financial intermediaries. These parties may default on their obligations to you or to another third party, due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, internal failure, or other reasons.

Trading in options should only be considered by persons who can afford a loss of their entire investment.

Binding Arbitration
If you and we (each, a “Party,” and together, the “Parties”) are unable to resolve a dispute, controversy, or claim related to, arising out of, or in connection with these Terms of Use (each, a “Dispute”) through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website: www.adr.org . Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Cook County, Illinois. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute will be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Cook County , Illinois , and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts . Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms of Use.
In no event will any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Site be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
The Parties agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration will be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief.
