   Terms Of Service

The following are Money Manager Review's ("MMR") terms and conditions for use of all Money Manager Review services, including without limitation subscription services, consulting services and manager tracking services (individually and collectively referred to as the "Service"). Please read them carefully. The Service is provided to persons who are at least 18 years old. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE CONSTITUTES ACCEPTANCE OF THE TOS. The Service is conditioned on your acceptance without modification of the terms, conditions, and notices contained herein.

1. SUBSCRIBER ACCOUNTS, PASSWORDS, AND SECURITY

Persons or entities wishing to subscribe to MMR's online database must:

  1. provide us with current, complete and accurate information as prompted by the Subscription Form;
  2. specify the duration of the subscription, the number of persons who will use the subscription, and the nature of the use (ie whether the subscriber or subscribers are acting in the capacity of individual investor, institution, professional broker/consultant, money manager, or other entity);
  3. read, acknowledge and agree to the TOS; and
  4. complete the subscription process by submitting payment.

Once payment has been received, each subscriber will be assigned a password and an account, accessible via the World Wide Web (the "Web"). An account is activated on the day that its corresponding password is issued. Counting forward from the activation date, the account will expire at the end of the term contracted for, unless the account is renewed, canceled or terminated prior to expiration. Each subscriber is entirely responsible for:

  1. providing for his or her own access to the Web as outlined below;
  2. maintaining the confidentiality of his/her password and account;
  3. ensuring that the password and account are used only by the person or persons specified in the Subscription Form and only for the type of use contracted for; and
  4. any and all activities that occur under the account.

Subscribers agree to notify MMR immediately of any unauthorized use of their accounts or any other breach of security.

2. MANAGER TRACKING

To be included in MMR's investment manager database ("tracked by MMR"), a money manager must first:

  1. attest to being registered in accordance with the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, as amended;
  2. present a performance track record of at least one year; and
  3. send MMR a complete marketing package, including a Form ADV.

When the manager's materials are received and reviewed, the manager will be issued an account and password. To complete the tracking process, the manager must then log in and provide us with current, complete, truthful and accurate information as prompted by all Manager and Product Registration Forms. The manager must also log in from time to time as prompted by MMR to submit new information and correct existing information. A manager's request to be tracked by MMR constitutes that manager's consent to allow MMR to publish, disseminate, analyze, sell access to, and/or otherwise commercially use all information submitted by the manager as MMR sees fit.

You acknowledge and agree that MMR is in no way responsible for determining whether any persons and/or entities requesting to be tracked by MMR are in fact registered investment advisors and/or persons qualified and authorized to act on behalf of any particular registered investment advisor. You acknowledge and agree that MMR does not independently verify or check performance numbers. You understand the antifraud provisions of the Uniform Securities Act and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. All manager submissions are subject to MMR's editorial approval and MMR reserves the right to edit, refuse to post, and/or remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, that, in its sole discretion, are unacceptable, undesirable, inappropriate or in violation of the TOS. MMR may refuse to track any manager, and/or terminate any tracked manager's account or accounts, without notice, for any reason whatsoever.

3. USER CONDUCT

As a condition of your use of the Service, you agree that you will not use the Service in any way that is unlawful or prohibited by these terms, conditions, and notices. Any unauthorized commercial use of the Service, or the resale of its services, is expressly prohibited. You agree to abide by all applicable local, state, national and international laws and regulations and are solely responsible for all acts or omissions that occur under your account or password. By way of example, and not as a limitation, you agree not to:

  1. Use the Service in connection with junk e-mail, spamming or any duplicative or unsolicited messages (commercial or otherwise), solicitations, or investment opportunities or schemes;
  2. Interfere with another individual's or entity's use of the Service;
  3. Use the Service in any way that is unlawful, fraudulent, defamatory, libelous, harassing, abusive, obscene, threatening, or otherwise objectionable;
  4. Post, publish, reproduce, distribute, or in any way exploit any aspect of the Service for commercial purposes (other than as expressly permitted by MMR);
  5. Interfere with or disrupt networks connected to the Service or violate the regulations, policies or procedures of such networks;

Tracked managers specifically acknowledge and agree that they will not misreport, exaggerate, or otherwise misrepresent performance figures or any other information in connection with the Service. MMR has no obligation to monitor the Service or any user's use thereof or retain the content of any user session. However, MMR reserves the right at all times to monitor, review, retain and/or disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request.

4. TERMINATION AND CANCELLATION

Users wishing to cancel their accounts should notify MMR. One-month subscriptions are not refundable. When a prepaid subscription of one-year or longer duration is cancelled, MMR will charge the monthly rate for subscription services already provided and refund the remainder, if any. MMR reserves the right to terminate any subscriber's or manager's access to any part or all of the Service at any time, with or without cause or notice, effective immediately, for any reason whatsoever, including but not limited to the unauthorized use of your account(s) and/or password(s) or violation of the TOS. In the event of such a termination, MMR shall have no liability to you, provided, however, that if a subscription is terminated without cause MMR will refund the pro rata portion of subscription fees paid and not used. MMR shall have no obligation to maintain any content associated with a terminated or expired account.

5. REPRESENTATION OF CONTENT

The performance data, news, biographies, research, and any other information accessible via the Service (the "Information") has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, and it is our policy to strive for the greatest possible accuracy, but MMR cannot and does not guarantee completeness or accuracy.

It does not purport to be a complete description of investment advisers' performance, investment advisers' services or investment advisers' descriptions referred to. Any and all expressions of opinion are subject to change without notice.

MMR cannot and does not in any way warrant or represent that use of the investment advisers herein will have any effect on investment performance. You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for determining the nature, potential value and suitability for yourself of any particular investment or investment strategy, and that your investments are at your sole risk. You acknowledge and agree that past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
