These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your relationship with Acquisition Regulatory Compliance LLC ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company") when you engage us for any investment, trust, or securities service, visit our website, or otherwise interact with us. By engaging us for a service, you accept these Terms in full.
If you do not accept these Terms, you should not engage us for services. If you are engaging us on behalf of a business, partnership, trust, fund, or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
These Terms apply in addition to any specific investment management agreement, trust agreement, transfer agency agreement, clearinghouse agreement, or other service-specific agreement we provide. Where a specific agreement conflicts with these Terms, the specific agreement controls for that service.
In these Terms, the following terms have the following meanings:

We provide services across eight families: investment management; trust administration; securities transfer and clearing; financial planning and advice; venture capital and investment; royalties, mortgages, and liens; viatical and crowdfunding; and virtual currency and securities. We assess, structure, manage, and report across the full spectrum of investment, trust, and securities services.
The specific terms of each Service — including the scope, fees, and service terms — are stated in the Service Agreement for that Service. These Terms govern the general relationship between you and us; the Service Agreement governs the specific Service.

We maintain the licenses and registrations required to provide the Services we offer.
All content on our website — including text, graphics, logos, and design — is the property of Acquisition Regulatory Compliance LLC or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our website content without our written permission.
We warrant that we will provide each Service in accordance with the Service Agreement and applicable regulations. We do not guarantee the performance of any investment, the outcome of any trust administration, the timing of any securities transfer, or the outcome of any dealing, settlement, or crowdfunding transaction.
Except as expressly stated in the Service Agreement or in these Terms, we disclaim all other warranties — express, implied, or statutory — including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
We do not provide legal, tax, or accounting advice. Where you require such advice, you should engage a licensed professional in the relevant field.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability under any Service or under these Terms is limited to the fees paid by you for the Service that is the subject of the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, except where such exclusion is not permitted by applicable law.
This limitation applies even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. It does not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law — such as liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or violation of securities law where such liability is non-waivable.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Acquisition Regulatory Compliance LLC from claims arising out of your misrepresentation in your engagement, your breach of the Service Agreement, your provision of inaccurate information, or your violation of applicable law — except to the extent a claim arises from our own breach, willful misconduct, or violation of securities law.
Neither party is liable for failure to perform under a Service where the failure is caused by an event beyond the party's reasonable control, including:
The affected party must give prompt notice and use reasonable efforts to resume performance.
Our collection, use, and protection of information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By engaging us for services, you consent to the practices described in our Privacy Policy.
These Terms and any Service Agreement are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except where federal law preempts state law.

Before litigation, the parties agree to attempt good-faith resolution through negotiation. If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days, either party may initiate arbitration under the rules of a mutually agreed arbitration body, or file suit in a court of competent jurisdiction.
Nothing in these Terms limits any consumer protection rights you may have under applicable law, including the Investment Advisers Act, the Securities Exchange Act, state securities laws, and state consumer protection laws. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable in a consumer protection context, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
We handle your engagement information, investment holdings, trust documents, and securities information under applicable confidentiality obligations. For services involving sensitive information — such as investment management and trust administration — we handle information under the confidentiality standards required by applicable regulations and the Service Agreement.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of these Terms and, where appropriate, provide notice to clients. The version of these Terms in effect at the time you engage us for a Service governs that Service, unless the Service Agreement states otherwise.
