Totally FREE Strategies 1 to 10 FREE
Active Premium Strategies

The monthly fee is $20-fixed for the first month and thereafter based on the average number of Active Premium Strategies used during the prior month. For example, if you used two Premium Strategies for the first half of the month and three for the second half of the month, then your next month's subscription fee would be:  ($15 x .5) + ($20 x .5) = $17.50.

1 $10 /mo.
2 $15 /mo.
3 $20 /mo.
4 $25 /mo.
5 to 10 $30 /mo.

With the Monthly Subscription Plan, you will authorize Google Wallet to allow billing of up to, but not exceeding, the maximum of $30 per month. Actual billing will vary between $10 and $30 according to the average number of Premium Strategies used.

SectorSurfer Economic Value Decision: The chart below provides a decision analysis based on the break even-return required to make SectorSurfer subscription fees worthwhile. Follow these decision steps: (1) find your situation on the chart, (2) carefully review the returns of Premium Strategies that interest you, then (3) make a judgment about how your investment returns will likely change from what you have now to what SectorSurfer could help you experience.


EXAMPLE: You have decided to use two Premium Strategies that together have a monthly subscription fee of $15, for an average of $7.50 per Strategy per month. You have about $10,000 you want to manage with each Strategy. In order to justify spending 12 x $7.50/mo. = $90 /yr. to manage a $10,000 investment you will need to at least earn that $90/ yr. subscription fee back to break even. In this example, break even is $90/$10,000 = 0.9%.
 
Thus, in order for you to make a wise decision, you need to confidently believe that by using SectorSurfer your investment returns will increase by at least 0.9% to break even — and of course, have significant upside potential beyond that. An improvement of only 5% annualized return means a 35-year-old person will have a 4 times larger nest egg at retirement. Will you be satisfied achieving only market averages when there is a better alternative?




 Other Detail Billing Terms:

1. Payment Policy: It is our policy to utilize the third-party services of Google Wallet to process subscription payments at arm's length wherein only they have, hold, and secure your credit card information. Our interface to the Google Wallet server simply informs SumGrowth Strategies that a subscription order has been placed and payment has been received by Google Wallet. We provide an ordering interface to Google Wallet on our Account Settings page.

2. Refund Policy:  It is our policy to offer no refunds on any orders for the following reasons: (1) once a Monthly Subscription or Introductory Offer has been paid, you have immediate full access to all current trade information and thus are presumed to have received some or all of the benefit of the subscription, or (2) by committing to a non-refundable Discounted Yearly Subscription you have bargained for a discount in exchange for a commitment to one year of service and will be presumed to have received some or all of the benefit of the service. However, you may make a special appeal for a partial refund for the Discounted Yearly Subscription if your situation is extraordinary by sending us an email from our Contact Us page.

3. Expiration Policy: When the tem of your current subscription payment expires our server will request Google Payments to process a payment for a subsequent period of time. Normally this will result in uninterrupted service for an indefinite period of time. However, your subscription may remain expired under the following circumstances: (1) you have canceled the subscription order with Google Wallet so that no further payments will be made, (2) your credit card has expired and no further payments can be made, or (3) your credit card company has declined the charge for some other reason. We will send you notification if your credit card has expired or payment has been declined by your credit card company. When your subscription account expires for any reason you will no longer be able to see the current Strategy fund trade information. Reinstating the account is as simple as providing Google Wallet with updated or valid credit card information.

4. Sharing Policy: Sharing Strategy information with others is defined to include sharing by email, sharing by online posting, or sharing data by other means where Strategy charts and/or fund trade information are shared with non-subscribers. Sharing current Strategy information for FREE Strategies is encouraged, and is our gift to the public. Sharing current Strategy information for Premium and Custom Strategies is strictly prohibited. However, sharing 90-day old Strategy information for Premium and Custom Strategies is encouraged as, for example, implied by the button on every chart.

5. Financial Advisor Policy: To comply with the above Sharing Policy, Financial Advisors must create separate Account Positions for each Strategy of each client where the Strategy information is used for advising the client. The current SectorSurfer account features and limitations were designed for use by individuals and are limited to a maximum of ten account positions, thus to satisfy the total number of client Account Positions possibly necessary for all of a Financial Advisor's clients may require creation of multiple SectorSurfer accounts. However, in the near future, we will offer an account type designed specifically for Financial Advisors to enable organization and management of all client Account Positions under a single SectorSurfer account.
