How about agrement, after passing step 2?
1. What does "Grant and Relese" section means, i dont understand, for example:
the perpetual right to use name, portait, picture and more...
This means you can have rights to my image and i wont be able to do anything about it? Anytime you want you can use my data, photo and everything to advertise or other purposes?
2. Next thing is agreement to not take any legal actions against TST, isint it weird? So i wont have right to take you to court if something is wrong?
The rumors are true - Sierra Chart is working with Rithmic. We have confirmed with both SC and Rithmic. Sierra is confident that the stability/performance will be much better than the previous setup, and Rithmic confirmed the timing - May at the earliest. We are monitoring and will likely re-add once they are done with their work, and we have had the opportunity to test the new setup. It probably will not be re-added until H2 2021.
Thank you!

This is extremely excellent news, not only for users of the TS Combine, but for the entire industry, if in fact SC and Rithmic can work out a solution that lets SC be used with one of the major data/trade routing companies, after the previous falling out.
If is good for everyone if the pieces of the futures industry's trading system can operate together easily.
Thanks for the update.

Thanks for your questions. Hoping I can provide some clarity -
1. The Grant and Release is completely voluntary. You do not have to give consent. If you do give consent and provide your picture, we may use it on social media, emails, etc.
2. There is nothing in the agreement that states you may not take legal action against Topstep. If there are any disputes between either party (Topstep or the trader), as it relates to the agreement, it shall be settled through arbitration.
"Arbitration. Any disagreement, claim, or controversy between the Parties arising from this Agreement, including questions regarding the scope and applicability of this Section 10, shall be settled before the dispute resolution program at any of the CME Group, the National Futures Association (NFA), or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), as applicable (an “Exchange Arbitration”). In the event no Exchange Arbitration is applicable, then the Parties agree to settle any disputes or controversies before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in Chicago, Illinois under the AAA’s then current Commercial Arbitration Rules. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding this Section 10, TopstepFunded may seek injunctive relief, in accordance with Section 5, in any competent court having jurisdiction."
Let me know if you have any other questions.

I did ask support via e-mail, and got answer as well. I didn't notice that this part of agreement is not obligatory.
Than you very much for help. Big plus for your well functioning support.
