3. No Financial Advice
All outputs, scores, models, and commentary provided through the Service are generated for informational and educational purposes only. They do not account for your individual financial situation, objectives, or risk tolerance. You are solely responsible for any financial, trading, or investment decisions you make, and you should consult a qualified, independent financial adviser before acting on any information obtained through the Service.
