FORENSICS.US LLC IS NOT A REGISTERED INVESTMENT ADVISOR, BROKER-DEALER, OR FINANCIAL PLANNER. ALL CONTENT, SIGNALS, TRADE CARDS, ANALYSIS, AND INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICE IS FOR INFORMATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE INVESTMENT ADVICE OR A RECOMMENDATION TO BUY, SELL, OR HOLD ANY SECURITY.
Forensics.us LLC relies upon the "publisher's exclusion" from the definition of "investment adviser" as provided under Section 202(a)(11)(D) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and corresponding state securities laws. As such, the Company does not offer or provide personalized investment advice. To the extent any content, signals, trade cards, or other informational output published through the Service may be deemed to be "investment advice," such information is impersonal and not tailored to the investment needs of any specific person.
Past performance of any signal, trade card, or analytical output does not guarantee future results. All trading involves substantial risk of loss. The purchase and sale of securities should only be conducted by persons who understand and accept the risks involved therewith, and who have independently determined their suitability and acceptance of those risks and the financial and tax consequences thereof. Only persons who are able to bear the risk of substantial or complete loss of funds should engage in the purchase and sale of securities.
You remain solely responsible for all decisions regarding your purchase and sale of securities, the suitability, profitability, or appropriateness for you of any security, investment, financial product, or investment strategy. Forensics.us LLC does not and will not provide you with any legal, tax, estate planning, or accounting advice. You should consult a qualified, licensed, and professional financial, legal, tax, and accounting advisor before making any investment decisions.
No data, content, or information provided through the Service is intended to constitute, nor shall it be construed as, advice or any recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security, nor any offer or solicitation of an offer to buy or sell any security, nor an attempt to influence the purchase or sale of any security. Forensics.us LLC is not registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any other federal or national governmental or regulatory authority, or any state securities governmental or regulatory authority.
COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION RULE 4.41: HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN INHERENT LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER-OR-OVER-COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.
Any track record, win rate, signal performance data, or historical analytical output displayed on the Service may include both actual and hypothetical results. Such data is provided for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute a representation, warranty, or guaranty that any result will be obtained by you. Your actual results may differ materially from any displayed performance data for numerous reasons, including without limitation: displayed results may not reflect actual trading commissions or slippage; prices you obtain may differ from prices at the time of signal generation due to server delays and market movement; you may not have sufficient capital to act on signals with the same sizing; and the size and timing of your purchase or sale may affect the price you receive.
Forensics.us LLC does not track the trading results of its subscribers. As a provider of informational and educational market intelligence services, the Company does not have access to the personal trading accounts or brokerage statements of its subscribers. Available research data suggests that the majority of active traders are not consistently profitable.
In a research paper published in 2014, professors from the University of California studied 3.7 billion trades from the Taiwan Stock Exchange between 1992–2006 and found that only 9.81% of day trading volume was generated by predictably profitable traders, and that predictably profitable traders constitute less than 3% of all day traders on an average day. A 2005 study published in the Journal of Applied Finance found that out of 1,146 brokerage accounts day trading U.S. markets, only 50% were profitable. A 2003 study published in the Financial Analysts Journal found that out of 334 brokerage accounts day trading U.S. markets, only 35% were profitable and only 14% generated profits in excess of $10,000. These studies indicate that consistently making money trading securities is not easy. Day trading is a high-risk activity and can result in the loss of your entire investment. Any trade or investment is at your own risk.
PENNY STOCK DISCLAIMER: The Service may, from time to time, include analysis, signals, or informational content related to securities commonly referred to as "penny stocks" — generally securities trading at low prices with smaller market capitalizations. Trading such securities carries unique and significant risks compared to trading securities with larger market capitalizations, including but not limited to:
Forensics.us LLC's platform applies price and volume filters designed to reduce, but not eliminate, exposure to the risks described above. Forensics.us LLC makes no representation that its filtering methodology will prevent losses in any security. You bear sole responsibility for evaluating the risks of any security identified through the Service.
Forensics.us LLC does not engage in, and its business and activities shall not constitute or be construed as, any activity with the purpose of creating a false or misleading appearance of active trading in any security, effecting transactions involving no change in beneficial ownership, entering coordinated buy and sell orders at substantially the same time and price, or engaging in any series of transactions for the purpose of raising or depressing the price of any security to induce purchases or sales by others. Forensics.us LLC does not engage in, and its activities shall not constitute, any activity to peg, fix, or stabilize the price of any security in contravention of any applicable law, rule, or regulation.
You understand, acknowledge, and agree that the Company and its personnel engage in independent trading of securities in their personal capacities, but do not willfully participate in any manipulative activity described above. Accordingly, you hereby waive and release any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and any other costs and expenses, arising from or related to your purchase or sale of a security at a price that may have been affected by any activity of the Company or its personnel in their individual trading capacities.
Forensics.us LLC's personnel, including its founders, operators, employees, and affiliates, are active investors and traders of securities. Such parties may, but are not required to, purchase or sell any security identified in or generated by the Service. Such parties will make trading decisions in their sole discretion, at any time, and without notice, and are not required to disclose or notify subscribers with respect to any such decisions or activities. Personnel of the Company may hold positions in securities discussed through the Service, and such positions may be inconsistent with signals or analysis generated by the Platform Tools. Forensics.us LLC's personnel adhere to their own individual trading plans, and their experiences are not typical and will not be duplicated by subscribers.
The Service is solely directed to and intended for individuals residing in the United States. The securities laws, regulations, and investor protections described in these Terms are based on United States law. Those who choose to access and use the Service from outside the United States do so entirely at their own risk and are solely responsible for compliance with all laws, rules, and regulations applicable in their jurisdiction. Forensics.us LLC reserves the right to limit the availability of the Service to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction at any time and in its sole discretion.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FORENSICS.US LLC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, OR TRADING LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. FORENSICS.US LLC'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO FORENSICS.US LLC IN THE THREE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.
In accordance with 16 CFR Part 255 and Federal Trade Commission Guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in marketing and advertising, please be aware of the following:
Endorsements, testimonials, or descriptions of past performance from subscribers or users of the Service are based upon their individual experiences and results. These results and performances are not typical, and you should not expect to achieve the same or similar results. The endorsements, testimonials, or descriptions of past performance reflect real individual experiences and are not representative of the results of all subscribers.
No endorsements, testimonials, or descriptions from subscribers or users appearing on or in connection with the Service involved payment or compensation therefor, unless explicitly disclosed. Any individual featured in a testimonial or endorsement is an individual subscriber sharing their personal experience, not a representative of typical outcomes.
Forensics.us LLC may express or utilize testimonials or descriptions of past performance, but such items are not indicative of future results or performance, and do not constitute any representation, warranty, or guaranty that any result will be obtained by you. Your results may differ materially from those expressed or utilized by the Company or its subscribers.
Forensics.us LLC reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account and access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Mexico, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration in New Mexico under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.
Forensics.us LLC reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email or prominent notice on the Service at least 14 days prior to taking effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any modification constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
