Breakout Point GmbH is a company located in Germany. At Breakout Point:
A short seller is a market participant that seeks and finds a stock that occurs to be ready for a decline, puts a bet on decline by short selling the stock, and profits if the stock declines. A short seller borrows stock's shares, sells them ("goes short"), and attempts to cover the short position by buying shares back at the lower price.
Activist short sellers are short sellers that publicly present and discuss own short ideas. Compared to many other market participants, activist short sellers are more vocal and less secretive about their short investment ideas. Thus, sometimes we call them: investors with a megaphone.
For more about short selling and activists you might also check some of the movies and TV programmes listed below:
You need a valid email address and a valid credit card - and that's it. Our payment gateway, Stripe handles the payment processing for us, so your credit card details are not kept on our servers. We value your privacy and our goal is to keep a minimum of your data that still enables us to offer and improve our services.
Stripe handles the payment processing for us. You can use all major credit cards. All our subscription billing is auto-renewing, which means you will continue to get billed monthly until you cancel your subscription. You can learn more about Stripe by visiting their website here.
You can cancel your subscription at anytime. Your cancellation is effective at the end of a calendar month (i.e. at the end of the billing cycle) and is not retroactive. You will still have access to your service until the cancellation becomes effective. If you want to stop recurring payments you need to cancel the corresponding subscription on the Manage Account page under My Account section.There's no cancellation fee.
Our billing cycle starts on the first day of each calendar month and ends on its last. To ensure that you are charged accurately and fairly for the services you use we employ proration for the first subscription month. Thus, in the first month the fee will be calculated on a pro-rata basis, depending on the days remaining in such calendar month. Proration for the first subscription month is applied both to: your very first subscription when you join Breakout Point, and, any upgrade, downgrade or addition to existing subscriptions if you are already a user. Proration value is calculated by our payment gateway, Stripe and will appear on your first next invoice.
Here are two examples, assuming that a billing cycle lasts 30 days:
In addition to our standard and premium monthly plans, we offer custom solutions that we tailor towards your needs. Even if you are not completely sure what you need, just contact us and we'll try to help. In other words - LET'S TALK.
Our servers are hosted on Akamai (formerly Linode) EU data center network in Frankfurt, Germany. You can learn more about security at Akamai's servers by visiting their website here.
