By accessing this website you signify your agreement to all terms, conditions, disclosures and notices contained or referenced in this Terms of Use Agreement (this “Agreement”). If you do not agree to this Agreement, you are not permitted to use the website. Uplift reserves the right, at its discretion, to update or revise this Agreement. Your continued use of the website following the posting of any changes to this Agreement constitutes acceptance of those changes. You acknowledge that the information and materials on this website are subject to change.

Eligibility

You must be 18 or older, or of the legal age in your jurisdiction to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction if that age is greater than 18 years of age, to register as a user of the Sites or to use the Services. If you are under the age of 18 or the applicable legal age in your jurisdiction, you can use the Services only in conjunction with, and under the supervision of, your parent or guardian who has agreed to these Terms of Service. If you do not qualify, do not use the Services. Registration for the Sites is void where prohibited by applicable law and the right to access the Sites is revoked in such jurisdictions. You must be 13 or older to use the Sites, in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). By using the Sites or Services, you represent and warrant that you have the right, authority and capacity to enter into these Terms of Service and to abide by all of the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Sites are administered in the United States and intended for U.S. users; any use outside of the U.S. is at the user’s own risk and users are responsible for compliance with any local laws applicable to their use of the Sites or Services.


Registration and Security

In order to use and/or access certain Services, you may be required to register with the Sites and to select a password and a user name which shall be associated with an email address which you own and use (“User ID”). You may also be asked to answer some questions about yourself. You agree that the information you provide to us upon registration and at all other times, including any questionnaire you may submit to us in connection with our services and information you provide to us through the Partner Sites, shall be true, accurate, current and complete, and that you will promptly update such information with any changes. Failure to do so shall constitute a breach of these Terms of Service, which may result in the immediate termination of your user account. You may not: (i) enter, select or use a false name or an email address owned or controlled by another person with the intent to impersonate that person; or (ii) use as a User ID a name subject to any rights of a person other than yourself without appropriate authorization. We reserve the right to refuse registration of, or cancel, a User ID in our sole discretion. You shall be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your User ID and password. Any User ID and password provided to you for your access to the Services shall be for your personal use only. You agree to (a) immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your User ID or password and (b) ensure that you log out of your account when you wish to de-authenticate from each session. If you violate any of these Terms of Service, we may, at our sole discretion, terminate your registration, remove or modify any content that you have contributed, or take any other action that we determine to be appropriate.


Account Information from Third Party Sites

In order to use and/or access certain services, you may be required to retrieve your own information maintained online by third party financial institutions with which you have customer relationships, maintain accounts or engage in financial transactions (“Account Information”). We will then connect directly with your online financial service providers to access this Account Information. Subject to our privacy procedures as described in these Terms of Service, Uplift Investing may also work with one or more third party financial service technology providers to access and retrieve your Account Information.

We are not responsible for the products and services offered by or on third-party sites, including the sites of other advisers that may be mentioned. We cannot always foresee or anticipate technical or other difficulties, which may result in failure to obtain data or loss of data, personalization settings or other service interruptions. We cannot assume responsibility for the timeliness, accuracy, deletion, non-delivery or failure to store any user data, communications or personalization settings.


By submitting information, data, passwords, usernames, PINs, other login information, materials and other content through the Sites, you are licensing that content to us solely for the purpose of providing services. We may use and store the content. By submitting this content to us, you represent that you are entitled to submit it to us for use for this purpose, without any obligation by us to pay any fees or other limitations.


You grant Uplift Investing a limited power of attorney, and appoint Uplift Investing as your attorney-in-fact and agent, to access third party sites and retrieve and use your information with the full power and authority to do and perform each thing necessary as you could do in person, but solely in connection with providing the Account Information to you as part of the Services. 


YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WHEN WE ARE ACCESSING AND RETRIEVING ACCOUNT INFORMATION FROM THIRD PARTY SITES, WE ARE ACTING AS YOUR AGENT, AND NOT AS THE AGENT OF OR ON BEHALF OF THE THIRD PARTY.


Notwithstanding anything in this Terms of Service to the contrary, we shall have no authority to take or have possession of any assets in the accounts maintained by such third parties or to direct delivery of any securities or payment of any funds held in such account to itself or to direct any disposition of such securities or funds. You agree that third party account providers shall be entitled to rely on the foregoing authorization, agency and power of attorney granted by you. While our services may be sponsored or endorsed by the third parties with whom your Account Information is held from time to time, you should not assume that the Portfolio Services are sponsored or endorsed by any third parties with whom your Account Information is held.


Alerts

We may provide automatic alerts and voluntary account-related alerts from time to time. Automatic alerts may be sent to you following certain events of interest, such as changes made online to your Uplift Investing or Partner Site account (e.g., a change in your password) or events or movements in your portfolio.


Voluntary account alerts may be turned on by default as part of the Services. They may then be customized, deactivated or reactivated by you. We may add new alerts from time to time, or cease to provide certain alerts at any time in our sole discretion. Electronic alerts for a given account will be sent to the email address you have provided as your primary email address for that account. If your email address or your mobile device’s email address changes, you are responsible for informing us of that change. Changes to your email address or mobile number will apply to all of your alerts. Because alerts are not encrypted, we will never include your password. However, alerts may include your User ID and some information about your accounts. Anyone with access to your email will be able to view the content of these alerts. At any time you may disable future voluntary alerts.


You understand and agree that any alerts provided to you through the Services may be delayed or prevented by a variety of factors. We use reasonable best efforts to provide alerts in a timely manner with accurate information. However, except as otherwise provided herein, we neither guarantee the delivery nor the accuracy of the content of any alert. Furthermore, except as otherwise provided herein, you also agree that we shall not be liable for any delays, failure to deliver, or misdirected delivery of any alert; for any errors in the content of an alert; or for any actions taken or not taken by you or any third party in reliance on an alert.


THESE TERMS OF SERVICE DO NOT WAIVE OR LIMIT YOUR RIGHTS UNDER ANY FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAW.


Interstate and International Nature of Communications

You acknowledge that in contributing Content or using the Services to send electronic communications, you will be causing communications to be sent through our computer networks, portions of which are located in various states and localities in the United States and portions of which may be located abroad. As a result, and also as a result of Uplift Investing’s network architecture and business practices and the nature of electronic communications, even communications that seem to be intrastate in nature can result in the transmission of interstate communications regardless of where you are physically located at the time of transmission. Accordingly, by agreeing to this Terms of Service, you acknowledge that the contribution of Content and use of the Services results in interstate data transmissions.


Recognizing the global nature of the Internet, you agree to comply with all local rules regarding online conduct and acceptable Content. Specifically, you agree to comply with all applicable laws regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the United States or the country in which you reside.


Copyright Dispute Policy

We have adopted the following general policy toward copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act or DMCA. The address of Uplift Investing’s Designated Agent to Receive Notification of Claimed Infringement (“Designated Agent”) is provided at the bottom of this section.


Our Policy

It is our policy to (i) block access to or remove material that it believes in good faith to be copyrighted material that has been illegally copied and distributed by any of our advertisers, affiliates, Content providers, members or users; and (ii) remove and discontinue service to repeat offenders.


Procedure for Reporting Copyright Infringements

If you believe that material or Content residing on or accessible through the Sites infringes your copyright, please send a notice of copyright infringement containing the following information to the Designated Agent listed below (“Proper Bona Fide Infringement Notification”): A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that was allegedly infringed; Identification of the works or materials being infringed; Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, including information regarding the location of the infringing materials that the copyright owner seeks to have removed, with sufficient detail so that we are capable of finding and verifying its existence; Contact information about the notifier including address, telephone number and, if available, email address;  A statement that the notifier has a good faith belief that the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information provided is accurate and that the notifying party is authorized to make the complaint on behalf of the copyright owner. Please note that if you choose to send a Proper Bona Fide Infringement Notification to the Designated Agent via email, all required information must be provided in the body of the email as we will not accept or open attachments.


Upon Receipt of a Bona Fide Infringement Notification

Once Proper Bona Fide Infringement Notification is received by the Designated Agent, it is our policy: to remove or disable access to the infringing material; to notify the Content provider, member or user that it has removed or disabled access to the material; and that for repeat offenders, we will also terminate such Content provider’s, member’s or user’s access to the Sites.


Procedure to Supply a Counter-Notice to the Designated Agent

If the Content provider, member or user believes that the material that was removed or to which access was disabled is either not infringing, or the Content provider, member or user believes that it has the right to post and use such material from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, the Content provider, member or user must send a counter-notice containing the following information to the Designated Agent listed below:


Removal

If a counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, we may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the Content provider, member or user, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter- notice, in our discretion.


The Sites (including, but not limited to, text, photographs, graphics, video and audio Content, but excluding any Content that is subject to the section captioned “Certain Third Party Content” below) are protected by copyright as collective works or compilations under the copyright laws of the United States and other countries. All individual articles, Content and other elements comprising the Sites are also copyrighted works. Except for the Content submitted by members or users, the Sites and all aspects thereof, including all copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights therein, are owned by Uplift Investing or its licensors. You acknowledge that the Sites and any underlying technology or software used in connection with the Sites contain our proprietary information. You may not modify, reproduce, distribute, create derivative works of, publicly display or in any way exploit, any of the content, software, and/or materials available on the Sites, in whole or in part, except as expressly provided in our policies and procedures made available via the Sites. Except as expressly and unambiguously provided herein, neither we nor our suppliers grant you any express or implied rights, and all rights in the Sites not expressly granted by us to you are retained by us.

All trademarks and services marks on the Sites that are not owned by us are the property of their respective owners. Nothing contained on the Sites should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any license or right to use any of our trade names, trademarks or service marks without our express prior written consent.


Recommendations

We may from time to time present certain Recommendations to you, including recommendations of Portfolios submitted by the community, which may potentially include third-party registered investment advisors (the “Third-Party Advisors”), third-party broker-dealers (the “Third-Party Brokers”), securities (the “Recommended Securities”), and certain other recommendations. The paid service may include recommendations from Uplift Investing.


State Registered Investment Adviser

The rules and regulations applicable to registered investment advisors under the state statues that are similar to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”) may require us to make certain requests of you in connection with certain types of Recommendations. In particular, we may need to provide you with additional information, ask that you acknowledge that such additional information was provided and, if required, obtain additional information from you.


Electronic delivery of Form ADV

You acknowledge and consent to electronic delivery of any brochure and advisory agreement that we are required to deliver to you under the state statues that are similar to the Advisers Act, including the information in Part 2 of our Form ADV, which is available.


Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability

The third-party brokers and third-party advisors are not employees or agents of uplift investing or its affiliates. We are not liable for and will not judge the suitability of any actions of the third-party brokers and third-party advisors, including any trading or investment recommendation or decision. Uplift investing treats content submitted by such users in the same manner that it treats content submitted by the general public.


There are significant risks associated with investing with a third-party advisor or investing in the recommended securities, including, but not limited to, the risk that your portfolio could suffer substantial diminution in value. We do not and cannot guarantee the future performance of your portfolio or the recommended securities. If you choose to invest in the recommended securities, you acknowledge that you are able to bear the risks of investing in the recommended securities, as applicable, and that uplift investing and its affiliates shall not be liable, directly or indirectly, to you or any other entity for losses resulting from the actions or recommendations of any third-party advisors or your investment in the recommended securities.


Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in these terms of service shall be interpreted to waive or limit your rights under any federal or state securities law.


Uplift investing and its affiliates do not warrant or guarantee the accuracy of any estimation of fees, description of investment strategies, third party data about mutual funds or ETFs, or other information provided in connection with any recommendation. Uplift investing and its affiliates shall not be liable, directly or indirectly, to you or any other entity for any inaccuracies in or omissions from such information.


Performance graphs and other historical information are not a guarantee of future performance, and the future performance of a portfolio/allocation or recommended security may differ from past performance.


Tax advice

Any services relating to tax planning or tax-loss harvesting are not intended to be the primary or sole basis for your tax-planning decisions. Your circumstances are unique; therefore you should consult a tax advisor for personal advice. We do not provide tax advice.


Other terms

Other than as stated above, your engagement of a Third-Party Broker will be governed by their terms of use, privacy policy and any supplemental terms or conditions we or they may require, which terms, conditions and policy, you are strongly encouraged to review before engaging any such third party.

WE DO NOT WARRANT OR COVENANT THAT THE SITES AND SERVICES WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ANY TIME OR FROM ANY PARTICULAR LOCATION, WILL BE SECURE OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE SITES AND SERVICES ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER POTENTIALLY HARMFUL COMPONENTS. ANY MATERIAL OR CONTENT DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SITES OR SERVICES IS ACCESSED AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE DOWNLOAD OF ANY SUCH MATERIAL. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NO INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY ANY USER FROM US OR THROUGH OR FROM THE SITES OR SERVICES SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN.


NEITHER WE NOR THE SITES OR SERVICES ARE INTENDED TO PROVIDE LEGAL, TAX, OR, EXCEPT AS WE MAY OTHERWISE NOTIFY YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS, FINANCIAL ADVICE. WE ARE NOT A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR TAX ADVISOR. Unless we specify otherwise, any advice we provide to you is based solely on the information provided by you, and may not take into account information that may be available in the context of a more detailed examination of your personal financial situation.

IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH SAYS “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

Governing Law

If there is any dispute about or involving the Sites or Services, you agree that the dispute will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.


Arbitration

YOU AND UPLIFT INVESTING (THE “PARTIES”) WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO SEEK REMEDIES IN COURT, INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. The Parties agree that any dispute between or among any of the Parties about or involving the Sites or Services, or arising out of, relating to or in connection with the Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy, shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration conducted under the auspices of JAMS pursuant to its Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The arbitration hearing shall be held in the City of Oakland, State of California. Disputes shall not be resolved in any other forum or venue. The arbitration shall be conducted by a retired judge who is experienced in resolving disputes regarding the Securities business. The Parties agree that the arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of California to all state law claims, that limited discovery shall be conducted in accordance with JAMS’ Arbitration Rules and Procedures, and that the arbitrator may not award punitive or exemplary damages, unless (but only to the extent that) such damages are required by statute to be an available remedy for any of the specific claims asserted. In accordance with JAMS’ Arbitration Rules and Procedures, the arbitrator’s award shall consist of a written statement as to the disposition of each claim and the relief, if any, awarded on each claim. The award shall not include or be accompanied by any findings of fact, conclusions of law or other written explanation of the reasons for the award. The Parties understand that the right to appeal or to seek modification of any ruling or award by the arbitrator is severely limited under state and federal law. Any award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding, and judgment may be entered on it in any court of competent jurisdiction as provided by law.


Miscellaneous

No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of these Terms of Service and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind us in any respect whatsoever. We may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Service by email, regular mail or postings on the Sites or Partner Sites. These Terms of Service and all terms, guidelines and rules referenced herein contain the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Sites and Services. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.


If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms of Service shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. To the extent a court determines that the second sentence of the section captioned “Arbitration” is not enforceable, the Parties agree to exclusive personal jurisdiction by, and venue in, the state and federal courts of the State of California, City of San Rafael, for any dispute between or among any of the Parties about or involving the Sites or Services, or arising out of, relating to or in connection with the Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy.

We will explicitly notify you each time we provide you with any investment advisory services. We will not assign any advisory responsibilities under the Advisers Act without your consent. These Terms of Service are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with our prior written consent. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. These Terms of Service include Uplift Investing’s acceptable use policy for Contributed Content, Uplift Investing Inc’s Disclaimer and any notices regarding the Sites.
