Companies change their terms quietly. We read every version and catch what actually changed. One email a week on the changes that matter and what they mean. No account.

This provision reserves the right to introduce fees for currently free services, including market data and news, without specifying a notice period or the mechanism by which fee changes would be communicated, which has direct operational implications for users who have integrated free data into their workflows.
Under this clause, any currently free Webull product or data service may become fee-bearing at a future date. Combined with the unilateral terms modification clause that does not require advance notice, users may have limited advance warning before fee changes take effect.

"All market data, news and other information provided by Webull are provided free of charge at present, but there is no guaranteed that Webull will continue to provide any Product free of charge, in whole or in part, at any time in the future. Users can at any time choose to continue or cease to use Products.Excerpt from Webull's Customer Agreement
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The FTC Act and state consumer protection laws may require adequate notice before introducing fees for previously free services. FINRA rules applicable to broker-dealer customers may impose disclosure requirements for changes in fee structures. California's consumer protection statutes may require specific notice mechanisms before implementing charges for services previously provided without cost. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The absence of a notice requirement or transition period for fee changes, combined with the unilateral modification clause, creates operational exposure for users and institutions that rely on currently free data services. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California and EU consumer protection frameworks may require more specific notice and consent procedures before fees are introduced for previously free services. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Institutional users incorporating Webull's free market data into operational or analytical workflows should account for the possibility of future fee introduction when assessing total cost of ownership and vendor dependency. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should monitor Webull's fee schedule and terms updates given the absence of a committed notice period for fee changes. The Webull Fee Schedule referenced elsewhere in the document should be reviewed for current applicable fees.
