2. Advisor Accounts and Subscriptions
- Log-In. Advisors are required to register for an account in order to use the Services (the “Account”). When you register for an Account, you may be asked to choose a username, password, and other log-information (collectively, the “Log-In Information”) which will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. You must secure and protect your Log-In Information.
- Account Use. You authorize us to assume that any person using the Services with the Account is you or is authorized by you. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account. You are not entitled to transfer the Account to any other person. By granting access to the Account to other persons, you represent and warrant that you will be responsible for the actions of those persons in connection with the Account. We will not be responsible for any loss that you suffer as a result of any access to your Account.
- Payment. We offer monthly and yearly subscription plans to advisors for use of the Services. Additionally, we offer a free trial period for advisors with no more than five (5) clients. If you are on a free trial and your Account reaches over five (5) client engagements, then you will require a subscription to collect information from those other clients. If you cancel your subscription, you will still be able to access client information and data, but you will not be able to receive any further client information and data until you re-subscribe.
- Termination of Subscription.
i. By Advisor. Advisors may terminate a subscription at any time through the account management page. Such termination will result in the deactivation of your Account and no further access to any stored data. This data will be maintained for such period of time that we determine in our discretion (unless you request it to be deleted), in the event that you choose to re-activate your Account at a later time. If you terminate your subscription in the middle of a billing cycle, you will not receive a refund for any period you did not use in that billing cycle, unless: (A) we have materially breached these Terms of Service and failed to provide a resolution within thirty (30) days after you have notified us in writing; or (B) a refund is required by law.

Once the Forms are shared through Public Sharing, other advisors can utilize the Forms for collection of client information and data within the Services.
