How the Site and Services Work

As stated above, we developed an educational financial planning tool that utilizes client financial information and proprietary algorithms to run analysis that provides insight as to how a client’s income in retirement may be impacted by various factors.  You access the site through unique credentials.  You can create client profiles, enter, save and associate appropriate client information with those profiles and run analysis based on the client information.  The analysis can be saved and client output created based on the analysis.

Your Account

We will create an account for your use of the Site and Services (“JourneyGuide Account”) based upon the information you provide to us. You may not have more than one (1) active JourneyGuide Account. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current and complete. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your JourneyGuide Account and your access to the Site and Services if you create more than one (1) JourneyGuide Account or if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, not current or incomplete. You are responsible for safeguarding your password. You agree that you will not disclose your password to any third party and that you will take sole responsibility for any activities or actions under your JourneyGuide Account, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. You will immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your JourneyGuide Account.

Purchase of the Service

There are three (3) subscription and payment options available:

  • 30-day subscription, billed monthly
  • Annual subscription, billed monthly
  • Annual subscription, billed annually

(collectively “Subscription”).  You agree to purchase the Services at the price, length of Subscription, and billing terms stated on your invoice.  The price stated on your invoice includes taxes and fees.  If you pay by credit or debit card, by selecting a card to be billed, you confirm that you are the holder of that card and are authorized to make the purchase. 

Monthly payments are billed on a 30-day cycle, which begins upon Subscription and ends 30 days thereafter. Annual payments are billed on a 365-day cycle, which begins upon Subscription and ends 365 days thereafter.

No refunds will be issued for a given billing cycle if you cancel the Service before the end of the billing cycle of a Subscription, regardless if you have chosen a monthly or annual billing cycle.  For example, if an annual Subscription had been purchased and an annual billing cycle chosen, and if the Service were to be canceled by you after the sixth month, there would be no refund issued for the remaining six (6) months of Service. 

Automatic subscription renewal

For both thirty (30) day and annual Subscriptions, the Subscription will be automatically renewed unless you notify us at least five (5) days before the end of your Subscription term.  Notification can be made by emailing us at sales@journeyguideplanning.com or calling us at 877-210-6349.

Prices

JourneyGuide may occasionally change the price for the Service. You will not be charged the new price until the expiration of the current billing cycle.  Any change in price will be communicated to you at least fifteen (15) days in advance if you have a monthly billing cycle or thirty (30) days in advance if you have an annual billing cycle.   Subject to the auto renewal policy, you have the opportunity to not renew your Subscription by contacting sales@journeyguideplanning.com or calling us at 877-210-6349. Continued use of the Service by you after the communication of the change in price for the Service represents your acceptance of the new price.

Data and Data Integrity

The overall integrity and quality of the data presented by JourneyGuide to you is an important element in providing you with a high-quality experience. JourneyGuide, however, is not responsible for and cannot guarantee the timeliness of receiving information from third party providers used to provide the Services, nor can JourneyGuide guarantee the accuracy of the data provided by such third party providers.

JourneyGuide may not be able to foresee or anticipate technical or other difficulties which may result in failure to obtain data, or other service interruptions. JourneyGuide assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, accuracy, deletion, non-delivery or failure to store any user data, loss of user data, communications or personalization settings. JourneyGuide encourages you to periodically update your clients’ information for up to date analysis.

Disclaimers related to our Services

By using the Services, you understand and acknowledge that any results provided by JourneyGuide cannot be guaranteed. All investments entail a risk of loss and money can be lost. Generally, among asset classes, stocks are more volatile than bonds or short-term instruments and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.  The bond market is also volatile.  Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields compared to investment grade securities, but they also involve greater risk of default or price changes.  International markets can be more volatile than U.S. markets due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, market, or economic developments, all of which are magnified in emerging markets.

There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will outperform a non-diversified portfolio, and vice-versa, in any given market environment.  No investment strategy, such as asset allocation, can guarantee a profit or protect against loss in periods of declining values.  Inherent limitations and market conditions may affect the performance of the portfolios.  Past performance does not guarantee results.  Additional information about JourneyGuide’s methodology and limitations may be found on the Site and the output generated by Site.

We make no representation or warranty (i) regarding the accuracy of any data received from any of our third-party information providers, or (ii) on behalf of any third-party information provider in any capacity. We are in no way affiliated with or under common control with any third-party information provider.

Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between JourneyGuide and you regarding the Site and Services, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between JourneyGuide and you regarding the Site and Services.

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without JourneyGuide’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. JourneyGuide may assign or transfer these Terms, at its sole discretion, without restriction.

Controlling Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana and the United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. You and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in Allen County, Indiana or a United States District Court located in Allen County, Indiana (collectively, the “Courts”) for any actions that you or we have to seek relief, including but not limited to economic damage or injunctive or other equitable relief.

To the extent allowed by applicable law, you agree that you will bring any claim or cause of action arising from or relating to your access or use of the Services within two (2) years from the date on which such claim or action arose or accrued or such claim or cause of action will be irrevocably waived.

The failure of JourneyGuide to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of JourneyGuide. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
