Welcome to www.wealthquorum.com. These Terms and Conditions of Use (“Terms”) set forth the terms and conditions under which you are authorized to use www.wealthquorum.com and any other websites that are owned, operated and/or controlled by us (collectively, the “Website”). The Terms form a legal agreement between you and the Wealth Quorum®, LLC (the “Company”, “we,” or “us”). By using the Website, you (sometimes referred to individually as “User” or collectively as “Users”) acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, and to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE WEBSITE, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE; IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE THE WEBSITE.
All rights not expressly granted to Users in these Terms are hereby reserved by us.
1. Amendments
We reserve the right to amend or update these Terms at any time, for any reason, and without notice to Users, and may also add new features or functionality to, or change or remove existing features or functionality from, the Website that will be subject to the Terms. Such amendments, updates or modifications shall be deemed effective immediately upon posting of the modified terms. The latest version of these Terms will be posted on the Website, and you are responsible for regularly reviewing these Terms, because your continued use of the Website after a posted change in these Terms will constitute your acceptance of and agreement to such amendments or updates. If, at any time, you do not wish to accept these Terms, you should immediately discontinue any use of the Website. Any terms and conditions proposed by you which are in addition to or which conflict with these Terms are expressly rejected by us and shall be of no force or effect.
2. User Account Information
You do not need to be a subscriber to access the Site. However, certain services are available only to registered users of the Website (“Registered Users”) and require you to sign in with a unique user name and password. In order to register as a Registered User, Users will need to provide certain information about themselves (as prompted by the Website) (“User Account Information”). All Registered Users agree to provide true, accurate and current User Account Information. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Website and any services offered on the Website. User Account Information is subject to our Privacy Policy.
Registered Users must not allow any other person to use their user name and password, and they must ensure that that user name and password are kept confidential. Registered Users accept responsibility for all activities that occur under or in relation to their user name and password.
3. Subscriptions for Memberships
Each Registered User may try the benefits of our Membership for 14 days free of charge (the “Complimentary Preview”). You will not be required to provide payment information in order to sign up for a Complimentary Preview and there is no commitment to purchase a paid subscription to either our Monthly or Annual Memberships. If you have not elected to become a paying subscriber to either our Monthly or Annual Membership (a “Subscriber”) before the end of the 14-day Complimentary Preview period, your Complimentary Preview will simply end. You may only have one Complimentary Preview unless special consideration is granted. Should we determine that you have already made use of a Complimentary Preview your ability to access or use the Website may be temporarily or permanently suspended.
At any time during the Complimentary Preview period, you can elect to become a Subscriber by selecting either our Monthly or Annual Membership plan and entering you credit card information. Your credit card information is collected solely for payment of your subscription, and it is shared only with our credit card processor in order to complete the transaction. Your credit card will be billed for either our Monthly or Annual Membership plan once the Complimentary Preview expires or, if you are not receiving a Complimentary Preview, upon your registration for a subscription to either our Monthly or Annual Membership plan.
Our Monthly and Annual Memberships are billed in advance on a monthly and/or annual basis. There will be no refunds or credits for partial weeks or months of service.
All billing for our Memberships is recurring, which means you will continue to be billed until you cancel your subscription. You are solely responsible for properly canceling your subscription. You may cancel automatic renewal of your subscription at any time by visiting the Membership section (within your account's Profile) and clicking on the "Cancel Automatic Renewal" button and then confirming such when prompted to do so. You may also cancel your subscription's renewal at any time by sending an email request for cancellation to: [email protected]. You will then receive an email confirmation for such confirming your request. You may not request cancellation of your subscription by any other means (such as by sending a request via another email address, postal mail or by calling any phone number).
If you cancel before the end of your current paid up period, your subscription will remain active until the current billing period end date.
There are no refunds for either initial or recurring payments. When you enroll in either our Monthly or Annual Membership for the first time, you should make sure that the order is correct before the payment is submitted. During the subscription process, you will be prompted to click an “Enroll” or similar button; your clicking on such button will further confirm your agreement to be legally bound by these Terms, including your agreement that you will not be entitled to any refund for any initial or recurring payment.

7. Disclaimers
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. We make no representation regarding the likelihood or probability of any particular investment objective or outcome. Investment results may differ materially from those indicated by the Website or our Annual Membership, including due to market conditions, economic factors and other risks and uncertainties that we may not be able to anticipate. There is a very high degree of risk involved in trading securities and investments should be made only by those for whom the investment is suitable and who are able to bear the risk of loss.

In the case of Third-Party Content, there may be additional restrictions that apply to its use.

10. Warranties and Liability

To the greatest extent permitted by law, we disclaim and exclude all warranties, terms and representations that may otherwise be implied, including any warranties as to compatibility, satisfactory quality, and fitness for a particular purpose, or that content, information or functionality of the Website is accurate, error-free or uninterrupted, and/or does not infringe the rights of any third party.
THE COMPANY SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR OTHER DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE RESULTING FROM LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE WEBSITE, CONTENT OR INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THE WEBSITE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY AND WHETHER OR NOT ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

12. Intellectual Property and Privacy
We own, control, and/or license all text, graphics, interfaces, photographs, trademarks, logos, and computer code contained on the Website (collectively, “Content”), including but not limited to the design, structure, selection, coordination, expression, and arrangement of this Content. The Content is protected by trade dress, copyright, trademark laws, and other intellectual property rights and laws. Any information, data, or other content which is generated in the course of use of the Website by a User (“Data”) shall vest in and be owned by the Company in the same manner as the Content. To the extent such Data contains any personally identifiable information, the terms of Company’s Privacy Policy shall apply.
The Website and all Content, including Data, may not be downloaded, copied, reproduced, republished, uploaded, posted, transmitted, decoded, reverse engineered or distributed without the Company’s prior written consent. However, as long as a User complies with these Terms, we grant the User a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and limited privilege to enter and use the Website. This permission is conditioned on the User not modifying the Website or the Content, and the User’s acceptance of any terms, conditions, and notices accompanying the Content or as otherwise stated in the Website. If a User downloads, copies, reproduces, republishes, uploads, posts, transmits, decodes, reverse engineers or distributes or otherwise uses or provides any other person with access to any part of the Website in breach of these Terms, the User’s right to use the Website will cease immediately and the User must, at our option, return or destroy any copies of the materials the User has made. No right, title or interest in or to the Website or any content on the Website is transferred to you, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved by the Company. Any use of the Website not expressly permitted by these Terms is a breach of these Terms and may violate copyright, trademark and other laws, which may result in severe civil and criminal penalties. In the United States, federal civil penalties for copyright infringement include the recovery of actual damages plus the profits of the infringer, or statutory damages in the amount of $750 to $30,000 per act of infringement. In cases of willful infringement, the award of statutory damages can be increased up to$150,000, and attorneys’ fees may be awarded. Criminal copyright infringement is punishable by fines and federal imprisonment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any materials available for downloading, access, or other use from the Website that may have their own license terms, conditions, and notices will be governed by such terms, conditions, and notices.
If the User posts to the User’s personal social media including, without limitation, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or the like and the User tags us or uses another related hashtag, the User grants us the irrevocable, unrestricted right to repost the User’s post on the Website.
13. Branding
No User may publish or use any Company brand, branding or logos except with the Company’s prior written consent. Users must not remove or alter any copyright or other proprietary notices contained within the Website.
14. Security
Users shall be responsible for maintaining the security of their account by keeping their User Account Information, username and password confidential and secure, and not sharing any such information with any third party.
We shall not be liable for any loss, cost or damage suffered as a result of any unauthorized use of the Website by any third party caused by a User’s failure to comply with these provisions. Users must notify us immediately if they suspect or become aware of any unauthorized or fraudulent use of their account.
15. Non-compliance
If a User does not comply with any aspect of these Terms, we may (without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to it) cancel or suspend that User’s account, disable the ability of that User to use the Website, and/or terminate these Terms (including the license granted within it) with respect to such User. We shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by Users as a result of us exercising our rights under this clause.
16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms shall be governed by New York law, and all Users irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state of New York for any matter or dispute arising in relation to these Terms or the use of the Website.
17. Miscellaneous
If a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction holds any of the provisions of these Terms to be void or unenforceable, such provisions shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary and replaced with a valid provision that best embodies the intent of these Terms, so that these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.
The Company’s failure to insist on or enforce strict performance of these Terms shall not be construed as a waiver by the Company of any provision or any right it has to enforce these Terms, nor shall any course of conduct between the Company and you or any other party be deemed to modify any provision of these Terms. These Terms shall not be interpreted or construed to confer any rights or remedies on any third parties. The Company customer service representatives are not authorized to modify any provision of these terms, either verbally or in writing.
You will not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section is null and void. No assignment or delegation relieves you of any of your obligations under these Terms. The Company may assign all or any portion of its rights or delegate all or any portion of its obligations under these Terms.
18. Dispute Resolution
We will try work in good faith to resolve any issue you have with the Website. However, we realize that there may be rare cases where we may not be able to resolve an issue to your satisfaction.
User and the Company agree that ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO USER’S USE OF THE WEBSITE, OUR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, OR THESE TERMS SHALL BE DETERMINED BY BINDING ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION INSTEAD OF IN COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. ACCORDINGLY, USER AGREES TO GIVE UP USER’S RIGHT TO GO TO COURT (INCLUDING IN A CLASS ACTION PROCEEDING) TO ASSERT OR DEFEND RIGHTS UNDER THESE TERMS. User’s rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury and User’s claims cannot be brought as a class action. In any such arbitration, the arbitrator shall be appointed by agreement of the both parties or, if no agreement can be reached, by the American Arbitration Association pursuant to its rules. Arbitration is more informal than bringing a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitration allows for more limited discovery than in court, however, we agree to cooperate with Users to agree to reasonable discovery in light of the issues involved and amount of the claim. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award, but in so doing, the arbitrator shall apply substantive law regarding damages as if the matter had been brought in court. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms and any other contractual relationship between User and the Company.
USER AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both User and the Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with User’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.
If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then (a) the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, but the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in state or federal courts in New York.
