We may also ask you to provide additional information that will assist in authenticating your identity when you log-in in the future (“Unique Identifiers”). When creating your account, you must

You will promptly inform us of any need to deactivate a Password or Sign-In Name, or change any Unique Identifier. askFundu will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by any unauthorized use of your account.

In order to use certain features of the Services, including authorizing Transactions (as defined below), Members must have an active account with a participating Third-Party Broker/Exchange (a “Brokerage Account”). Your Brokerage Account is subject to a separate agreement directly between you and the applicable Third-Party Broker. Under no circumstances will we have any liability for your Brokerage Account. You further acknowledge that we have no control over Third-Party Brokers/Exchanges and that you may be charged fees by the Third-Party Broker/Exchange. We are not responsible for any Third-Party Broker/Exchange fees. You are solely responsible for your use of the Third-Party Brokers/Exchanges’ services, and you agree to comply with all terms and conditions applicable to such services as required by the applicable Third-Party.

To enable you to make Transactions through the Services, you will be required to link your Brokerage Account to the Services. askFundu processes Transaction requests according to the instructions it receives from its Members. By initiating a Transaction on the Services, you hereby authorize askFundu to communicate with the applicable Third-Party Broker/Exchange on your behalf and to send a message of the Transaction through to your Brokerage Account. Acceptance and execution of any Transaction is in the sole control and discretion of your Third-Party Broker/Exchange. Once a Transaction has been completed, the Investments will be placed in (or removed from) your Brokerage Account, and will be reflected in your Services account. askFundu does not collect any funds, execute any Transactions, or otherwise act as a broker-dealer or cryptocurrency exchange, money transmitter, money services business, bank account, brokerage account, or other financial account. askFundu merely communicates your purchase authorizations to Third-Party Broker/Exchange that
complete the Transactions on your behalf. Although you may be able to find information about investment opportunities through the Services, we are not a party to any Transaction regarding any such opportunity. We strongly recommend that in connection with each Transaction, Members conduct their own due diligence. All messages sent using the Services are self-directed by you to your Third-Party Broker/Exchange . All orders are executed by Third-Party Brokers/Exchanges where Members have an existing account, and askFundu is not responsible for the order routing or execution of any transaction. Any confirmations of such Transactions will be issued solely by the Member’s Third-Party Broker/Exchange. Members are solely responsible for any and all orders placed by them, and understand that all orders are unsolicited and based on their own investment decisions.
askFundu AND ITS AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, PRINCIPALS, OR REPRESENTATIVES DO NOT PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS OF ANY TRANSACTION OR ORDER, PROVIDE INVESTMENT ADVICE, ENDORSE ANY INVESTMENTS, PRODUCE OR PROVIDE RESEARCH TO ANY USER REGARDING ANY INVESTMENT, TRANSACTION OR ORDER, OR EXECUTE ANY TRANSACTIONS.
