Luma Platform Policies

Effective Date: December 2, 2019

Welcome to the Luma Platform, an online platform for structured financial products,

including, but not limited to, structured notes, equity-linked certificate of deposit, registered funds and annuities (the “Platform”), owned and operated by Luma Financial Technologies, LLC (“Luma”, “we,” “our,” or “us”). These Platform Policies (the “Policies”) apply when we are engaged by an organization (the “Organization”) intending for their employees and/or other invited users to use the Organization’s unique instance of the Platform.

In addition to these Policies, the Organization may provide users with additional policies and terms that are tailored to how our Platform is to be used. We urge you to review any such additional policies and terms, and to contact your Organization should you have any questions.

By accessing or using the Platform, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Policies. Your use of the Platform is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which covers how we collect, use, share, and store your personal information, as well as any additional policies and terms provided by your Organization.

We reserve the right to amend these Policies and our Privacy Policy at any time and without notice. When we update these Policies, we will revise the “Effective Date” date above and post the new Policies online, and make them available through the Platform.  We may also communicate it to the Organization. We encourage you to regularly check back on this page to ensure you are informed of any changes. If you object to any changes, you may close your account. By continuing to use the Platform after we publish or send a notice about our changes to these Policies, you agree that you are consenting to the updated Policies.

You must be 18 or over to register for and use the Platform. We ask that anyone under 18 not use the Platform or submit any information to us.

OVERVIEW OF THE PLATFORM

The Luma Platform is a cloud-based financial technology platform serving issuers, advisors, trade desks, and management of broker-dealers, RIAs, banks, and credit unions across the US. The Platform has several core modules including training & education, sales & marketing, product compare & purchase, life cycle support, and product creation & pricing. The Platform is offered to employees and/or individuals authorized by the Organization to use the Platform (each, a “User” and collectively, “Users”).

How Does it Work?  An Organization (e.g. your employer) contractually engages Luma to establish a unique instance on our Platform. The Organization’s Platform instance is accessible through a website where Users may view and utilize financial product tools and other content chosen, and posted onto the Platform, by the Organization (“Organization Content”), or other counterparty organizations, and Users may view such content, potentially share it with other Users or outside the Platform and provide other Organization permitted user content.

The Organization controls the Organization Content and other information collected from you when your account is created. To that end, we have entered into an agreement with your Organization that defines how this information should be used, and we only will use information according to that agreement.

Your Organization also defines the scope of the community of Users who may access its unique instance of our Platform (“Community”), and some Organizations opt to include a larger community beyond their own employees (e.g. business partners). Only those in your Community can view other User profiles and feeds on the Organization’s instance of the Platform.

USE OF THE PLATFORM

Your use of the Platform, as authorized by your Organization, is subject to these Policies, as well as any additional policies and terms provided by your Organization.  Luma reserves all rights not expressly granted herein. Luma or your Organization may permanently or temporarily terminate, suspend, or otherwise refuse to permit your access to the Platform without notice and liability, if, in their respective determinations, you violate any of these Policies or any policies of your Organization applicable to the Platform.

By providing Luma your email address you consent to our using the email address to send you Platform-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. We may also use your email address to send you other messages relevant to your use of the Platform and otherwise in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Within your User settings, you may select the particular types of notifications you receive through the Platform; however, you will always continue to receive emails or push notifications that are relevant to, and a necessary part of, your use of the Platform.

USER CONTENT

In connection with your use of the Platform, you may upload, post, provide, publish, display, link to or otherwise make content available via the Platform (collectively, “User Content”).  You grant to the Organization, and to us, a limited, perpetual, nonexclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free license to access and display on the Platform, User Content that is furnished to Luma, and to allow other users of the Platform to access and utilize such User Content in connection with their use of the Platform and any transaction conducted through the Platform.

You are solely responsible for the User Content that you make available via the Platform. You agree that we may access, store and use any information that you provide in accordance with the terms of the Privacy Policy. You understand that any User Content you make available may be viewed by and accessible to Users approved by your Organization.

You can end this license for specific content by deleting such content from the Platform, or generally by closing your account, except: (a) to the extent User Content has been shared with others as part of the Platform and they copied, re-shared or stored it; (b) for the reasonable time it takes to remove such User Content from backup and other systems; and (c) to the extent retention of such User Content is required for regulatory purposes. Please note, User Content that you create and share on the Platform may remain on the Platform and be accessible even if you deactivate or terminate your User account. Please see the Privacy Policy for more information about account and content deletion.

In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Policies, Luma may use statistics based on your use of the Platform in accordance with the terms of the Privacy Policy.

You agree that we are acting only as a passive conduit for your online distribution and publication of the Organization’s Content and any Users’ User Content. Luma is not responsible for policing the Platform or any Organization Content or User Content. Luma does not and will not have any obligation to review Organization Content or User Content, and therefore we do not guarantee the accuracy, integrity, or quality of Organization Content or User Content and we cannot assure you that harmful, inaccurate, deceptive, offensive, threatening, defamatory, unlawful, or otherwise objectionable Organization Content or User Content will not appear on our Platform. You understand and agree that any loss or damage of any kind that occurs as a result of the use of any Organization Content or User Content that you send, upload, download, stream, post, transmit, display, or otherwise make available or access through your use of the Platform, is solely your responsibility. Luma is not responsible for any public display or misuse of your User Content. We do, however, to the extent permitted by law, reserve the right to review any or all User Content in our sole discretion and reserve the right to remove any User Content, in whole or in part. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL LUMA BE LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR ANY USER CONTENT POSTED ON OR MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE PLATFORM OR THROUGH ANY OTHER SITE BY YOU OR ANY OTHER USER.
