1. Grant of License
Subject to the payment of all requisite Subscription Fees (as defined below), OANDA hereby grants to Subscriber, and Subscriber hereby accepts from OANDA, a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable (subject to Section 15), limited right and license for the term of this Agreement to receive and use certain exchange rates that the Subscriber has subscribed to through OANDA’s website (“OANDA Exchange Rates”) for the limited purposes, and under the terms and conditions, set forth herein.
2. Scope of License
- Subscriber agrees that it will not communicate, resell or otherwise make available, or permit to be communicated or otherwise made available, OANDA Exchange Rates (or any part thereof) to any third party, without written permission from OANDA.

Access may be granted earlier if a trial period is permitted by OANDA. In the event Subscriber’s actual usage of OANDA Exchange Rates at any time exceeds the authorization specified on OANDA’s website with respect to a particular license level, OANDA reserves the right to charge, and Subscriber hereby agrees to pay, OANDA’s Subscription Fees corresponding to Subscriber’s actual annual usage of OANDA Exchange Rates.
