The Adviser will receive no compensation for this engagement. The Adviser is prohibited from charging for additional services that were not anticipated at the time of this engagement but that the Adviser provides during the course of the engagement.

In the unlikely case that the Adviser and you intend to enter into an engagement after the Adviser presents the financial planning recommendations, you and the Adviser must terminate the Advisers Give Back engagement, and the Adviser must notify Advisers Give Back of the Adviser’s intent to enter into another engagement with you.

The Adviser will comply with all applicable regulatory, professional and ethical obligations, including but not limited to those imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), and state securities and insurance regulators.

If so, neither Advisers Give Back, the Adviser’s firm, nor any of their respective individual directors, officers, employees, agents or members, and grantees has or assumes any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or appropriateness of any services provided by the Adviser. You acknowledge that you must make an independent judgment regarding the Adviser's qualifications and whether to retain the Adviser for the engagement.

All services provided by the Adviser are provided solely by the individual Adviser and not by or on behalf of Advisers Give Back, or its affiliates.

You further agree to indemnify, defend, and hold the Adviser harmless from any loss, damage, cost or liability in any way arising from the Adviser’s services, acts or omissions.

You understand that the responsibility for financial decisions is your own and that you are under no obligation to follow, either wholly or in part, any recommendation or suggestion provided by the Adviser. You also understand that completion of the financial planning process may be a prerequisite to being granted services, items, or acceptance into programs by a sponsoring organization.

Should any concern arise between the Adviser and you, it is agreed that the Adviser and you will consult with each other to resolve such issues. Any unresolved issue shall then be submitted to non-binding mediation under the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Any dispute still unresolved may then be submitted to binding arbitration under the Securities Industry Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.

The terms of this engagement are limited to those items described in this Terms of Use, and this engagement will terminate upon the completion of these services or written notice of either the Adviser or you, except for any obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless which shall survive for the applicable statute of limitation period.

The Adviser will treat non-public, confidential information of yours as private and confidential and will not share the non-public, confidential financial information with others unless the Adviser receives permission from you.

It is your responsibility to report any financial plan details and subsequent goals or progress to the sponsoring organization, if necessary.

The Adviser may report non-confidential information regarding the program to the sponsoring organization or related partner, including general topics on which the Adviser is assisting and whether the engagements are ongoing or closed.

It is your responsibility to return calls or email contacts from the Adviser. The Adviser should notify the sponsoring organization if the pro bono client has not maintained contact and, if necessary, may terminate the engagement.

The engagement will be concluded upon the delivery of the financial guidance and/or planning recommendations from the Adviser to you.
