EDU Educators IS NOT A FINANCIAL PLANNER, BROKER OR TAX ADVISOR. The Service is intended only to assist you in your understanding of financial organization and decision-making and is broad in scope. Your personal financial situation is unique, and any information and investing strategies obtained through EDU Educators.com may not be appropriate for your situation. Accordingly, before making any final decisions or implementing any financial strategy, you should consider obtaining additional information and advice from your accountant or other financial advisers who is fully aware of your individual circumstances. We'll say this: We don't expect you pay us a share of your gains when we put you onto a good investment. SIMILARLY, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY ACTION YOU TAKE OR FAIL TO TAKE BASED UPON INFORMATION YOU RECEIVED THROUGH THE SITE, APPS OR SERVICES AND SPECIFICALLY WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY LOSSES YOU SUFFER AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR INACTION.

With respect to the “Find an Advisor” service: EDU Educators's services are limited to referring users to third party registered investment advisers and/or investment adviser representatives (“RIA/IARs”) that have elected to participate in our matching platform based on information gathered from users through our online questionnaire.  EDU Educators does not review the ongoing performance of any RIA/IAR, participate in the management of any user’s account by an RIA/IAR or provide advice regarding specific investments. RIA/IARs are matched to users based on (1) geographic location; (2) amount of investable assets; and (3) whether the RIA/IAR and the user are both willing to work remotely. Our proprietary algorithm also considers RIA/IARs’ remaining available budget, and RIA/IARs that have purchased more leads are therefore more likely to appear in a User’s matches. Additional factors may be included in our proprietary matching process in the future.  Important information regarding our services and associated conflicts of interest is available in our Form ADV Part 2A brochure, available at https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/summary/307375.  Users should review our brochure before using our Find an Advisor service. Use of the Find an Advisor service constitutes consent to these limitations on the scope of our services.

18. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. This section 18 shall be referred to herein as the “Arbitration Agreement.” Except for a claim by EDU Educators of infringement or misappropriation of EDU Educators patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret, any and all disputes between you and EDU Educators arising under or related in any way to these Terms or your use of the Site, Apps or Services, or your receipt of any email, telephonic, text message or other communication from us or are representatives must be resolved through binding arbitration as described in this section. This Arbitration Agreement is intended to be interpreted broadly. YOU AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU AND EDU Educators ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU AND EDU Educators AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED.

(a) Any and all controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action (including the interpretation and scope of this Arbitration Agreement, and the arbitrability of the controversy, dispute, demand, count, claim, or cause of action) between you and us and our employees, agents, successors, or assigns, regarding or relating to these the Services or these Terms, shall exclusively be settled through binding and confidential arbitration.
(b) Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitration shall be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from JAMS. As modified by these Terms, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by JAMS’s rules for commercial arbitration and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the procedures for consumer-related disputes. If JAMS is unavailable to arbitrate, the parties will agree on an alternative arbitration forum.
(c) You are thus GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights EXCEPT for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.
(d) You and we must abide by the following rules: (1) ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR US MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTYS’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (2) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF, (3) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, we will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation, (4) we also reserve the right in our sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all of the costs of the arbitration; (5) the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (6) the arbitrator’s award shall be final and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction; (7) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law; and (8) each side pays its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees’ and litigation expenses, and then in such instance, the fees and costs awarded shall be determined by the applicable law.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or we may bring an individual action in small claims court provided such action remains in such court. Further, claims of infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret shall not be subject to this arbitration agreement. Such claims shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in New York, New York. Additionally, notwithstanding our agreement to arbitrate, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before the state or federal courts located in New York, New York in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, and the parties hereby agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within New York, New York for such purpose. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.
(f) With the exception of the second paragraph of this Arbitration Agreement and subparts (1) and (2) of subsection 18.(d) above (prohibiting arbitration on a class, representative or collective basis), if any part of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable, then the balance of this Arbitration Agreement shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, the second paragraph of this Arbitration Agreement and/or subparts (1) or (2) of subsection 18(d) above (prohibiting arbitration on a class, representative or collective basis) is found to be invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular claim for relief, then that claim for relief and only that claim for relief shall be severed from the arbitration and brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York, New York. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
(g) Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, if we seek to terminate this Arbitration Agreement, any such termination shall not be effective until 30 days after the version of the Terms not containing the Arbitration Agreement is posted to the Site or App, and shall not be effective as to any claim of which you provided us with written notice prior to the date of termination. For more information on JAMS, its Rules and Procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call JAMS at 800-352-5267 or visit the JAMS website at http://www.jamsadr.com.
(h) Thirty-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to Financial Insight Technology, Inc., 122 East 42nd Street, Suite 4300, New York, NY 10168 or ATTN: email info@smartasset.com within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your full name, postal address, and e-mail address (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other provisions of the Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.

19. GENERAL TERMS. You are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws.

You further consent to exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue in, and agree to service of process issued or authorized by, any such court. You may not transfer, assign or delegate any of your rights and/or duties under the Agreement to anyone else and any attempted assignment or delegation is void.
