Terms & Conditions

The ground rules for using financebeaconzone.com — written in plain English, because "fine print" shouldn't require a law degree to read.

Effective January 1, 2026 · Last updated January 5, 2026

1. Acceptance of These Terms

Welcome to Finance Beacon Zone. By accessing or using financebeaconzone.com (the "Website"), you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please discontinue use of the Website.

These terms apply to every visitor and user of the Website, whether you browse casually, submit a form, or engage our advisory services. By submitting any form on this Website, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you are authorized to provide it.

2. What This Website Is — and Isn't

This Website exists to introduce Finance Beacon Zone, describe our services, and make it easy for prospective clients to contact us. Its content is informational and educational only.

Simply browsing this Website, reading its content, or submitting an enquiry does not create an advisor–client relationship. Such a relationship exists only after both parties have signed a written advisory agreement and you have received our current Form ADV disclosure brochure, as required under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

3. Financial Disclaimer

Nothing on this Website constitutes personalized investment, tax, legal, or financial advice for your specific situation. Any figures, examples, market references, or illustrations shown — including market data displayed on our ticker — are for general information only, may be delayed or simplified, and must not be relied upon for investment decisions.

  • Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Markets fluctuate, and no strategy can guarantee profit or protect fully against loss.
  • Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Any historical figures referenced are illustrative only.
  • Tax rules change and their application depends on individual circumstances. Always confirm tax positions with a qualified professional before acting.
  • We are not attorneys, and nothing here constitutes legal advice.

Before acting on anything you read here, we encourage you to speak with a qualified advisor — ideally us, ideally for free over a discovery call.

4. Engaging Our Services

Advisory engagements with Finance Beacon Zone are governed exclusively by a separate written agreement signed by both parties. That agreement — not this Website — sets out the services to be provided, the fees payable, custody and billing arrangements, termination rights, and all other terms of the relationship.

Where this Website references typical fees or asset minimums, those figures are descriptive of common engagements and do not constitute an offer, a quote, or a commitment. Your exact fee will always be confirmed in writing before any engagement begins.

5. Website & Client Portal Use

If you are given credentials to any secure client area of this Website or related systems, you are responsible for keeping those credentials confidential. You agree to:

  • Notify us promptly at info@financebeaconzone.com if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
  • Use the portal only to access information relating to your own household or engagement.
  • Avoid attempting to access areas, accounts, or data belonging to other clients.

We reserve the right to suspend or revoke portal access at any time if we reasonably believe security has been compromised or these terms have been breached.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use this Website in any way that:

  • Violates any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation.
  • Attempts to gain unauthorized access to our systems, accounts, or data — including probing, scanning, or testing system vulnerabilities.
  • Introduces malware, viruses, or other harmful code, or interferes with the Website's normal operation.
  • Scrapes, harvests, or bulk-copies content, or submits automated or fraudulent form submissions.
  • Impersonates any person or entity, or misrepresents your affiliation with anyone.

7. Intellectual Property

All content on this Website — including the Finance Beacon Zone name, the beacon radar mark, text, graphics, layout, and code — is owned by or licensed to Finance Beacon Zone and is protected by United States intellectual property law.

You are welcome to view, read, and share links to our content for personal, non-commercial purposes. Reproducing, republishing, or commercially exploiting any part of the Website without our prior written consent is not permitted.

8. Third-Party Links

This Website contains links to third-party sites — for example, our office location on mapping services, or regulatory resources such as the SEC's adviser database. These links are provided for convenience only.

We do not control, endorse, or accept responsibility for third-party websites, their content, or their privacy practices. Visiting them is at your own risk and subject to their own terms.

9. Accuracy of Information

We work to keep the information on this Website current, complete, and accurate, but we make no warranties or representations of any kind about its accuracy, timeliness, or fitness for a particular purpose. Content may be updated, corrected, or removed at any time without notice.

Market figures displayed anywhere on this Website are illustrative and should never be used as a basis for a trading or investment decision.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Finance Beacon Zone, its owners, advisors, and employees shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your access to, use of, or inability to use this Website — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

This limitation applies to, but is not limited to, losses arising from interruptions of service, data loss, transmission errors, or reliance on Website content. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including obligations that arise under an active signed advisory agreement.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Finance Beacon Zone, its affiliates, and its personnel from any claims, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your violation of these Terms & Conditions or your misuse of this Website.

12. Privacy & Communications

Your use of this Website and the information you submit through our forms is governed by our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms. By submitting a booking, contact, or subscribe form, you consent to being contacted by Finance Beacon Zone regarding that enquiry — by email, phone, or text at the details you provided.

You may opt out of marketing communications at any time, using the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us directly. We never sell your personal information.

13. Governing Law

These Terms & Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from use of this Website shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in St. Louis County, Missouri.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal requirements. When we do, the "last updated" date at the top of this page will change. Your continued use of the Website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms, so please review this page occasionally.
