Reasonable Usage Policy

In order to provide a low cost quality service to all users, use of this web site is subject to a reasonable usage policy.  This is to ensure that no user is unfairly disadvantaged by the behaviour of other users. Examples of unreasonable usage include downloading the same version of software multiple times from this web site, or continually using on-line calculators where downloadable software would provide the same or similar functionality. 

Hoadley Trading & Investment Tools reserves the right to determine reasonable usage on a case-by-case basis and to prevent access to all or part of this web site where usage is considered to be unreasonable.  You agree to this reasonable usage policy in relation to your use of the web site.
 

Technical Support Policy

In order to provide products and tools free of charge or at a competitive price, technical product support is subject to a reasonable support request policy as defined in this section.

Each purchase of the full version of the Finance Add-in for Excel will include an entitlement to three support incidents.  An incident is defined as a single issue or question that focuses on one area of the Finance Add-in for Excel or Excel spreadsheet application downloaded from this web site.  If a support incident is found to be due to a bug in the Hoadley software, the incident will not be counted towards the three allowable incidents.

After three incidents support will still be available if the support requests are considered by Hoadley Trading & Investment tools to fall within the definition of reasonable as defined below.

Support for all incidents will be limited to helping users with issues or questions which Hoadley Trading & Investment Tools considers are not adequately covered by the following resources: web site product description pages; FAQs; on-line tutorials; embedded help notes and help sheets in Excel applications; the Finance Add-in for Excel help-file function reference, and function sample work sheets. Support will not be provided in cases where Hoadley Trading & Investment Tools considers an experienced Excel user could resolve an issue by simply examining cell formulas or VBA code, or by observing how the product performs using the supplied examples or the user's own data.

The Options Strategy Evaluation Tool (OSET) is a free download from this web site and is made available on an "as is" basis without a support entitlement. Support will be provided to users of OSET if the support requests are considered to be reasonable.

Financial advice or help in applying the tools to specific user investment or trading situations will not be provided under any circumstances.

Hoadley Trading & Investment Tools reserves the right to determine whether or not requests for technical support are reasonable on a case by case basis and will not respond to support requests which it considers to be too frequent, or to requests which fall outside the above reasonable technical support guidelines. You agree to this Technical Support Policy in relation to your use of products and tools downloaded from this web site.

Note: This support policy is subject to change without notice. Technical support will be provided in accordance with the Technical Support Policy in place at the time support is requested.
