BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREED TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU PRINT OR SAVE A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR YOUR RECORDS.
Your use of www.worthnet.com, which is owned and maintained by WorthNet, LLC (“the Company,” “we,” “our,” “us”), including any sub-domains thereof (the “Website” or “Site”), is governed by the policies, terms, and conditions set forth below. Please read these terms carefully. We offer the Website, including all information, tools, products, course materials, curriculums, interactive materials, and services available from the Website to you, the User, conditioned upon your acceptance of all terms, conditions, policies, and notices stated here. By accessing, using, or making a transaction over the Website, you agree to the terms set forth herein. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions in their entirety, you are not authorized to use the Site in any manner or form whatsoever.
Our firm offers referral services that connect individuals with independent, third-party registered investment advisers (“RIAs”) and their investment adviser representatives (“IARs”) who participate in our partner adviser network. Matches are determined through a proprietary algorithm that considers User-provided information such as geographic location, assets, goals, risk tolerance, and other personal and financial information.
WorthNet acts as a fiduciary to clients, as defined by applicable laws and regulations. In this role, we are committed to upholding a duty of loyalty, fairness, and good faith toward each client while actively working to mitigate potential conflicts of interest. In providing our services, we strive to exercise the care, skill, prudence, and diligence that a prudent person would employ in a fiduciary capacity. However, we do not provide investment advice, make securities recommendations, or influence the outcome of the matching process. Our role is limited to facilitating introductions to advisers who meet our internal professionalism and client care standards. Each adviser in our network is registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or relevant state authorities and is solely responsible for delivering financial advice and managing client relationships. We do not monitor adviser performance, manage client accounts, or offer guidance on specific investments.
For full details on our business model, potential conflicts of interest, and how we address them, please review our Form ADV Part 2A Brochure at https://adviserinfo.sec.gov. Use of our website and services constitutes acceptance of these terms and the scope of our role.
