GENERAL. The Agreement comprises the entire agreement between you and Wealth One and supersedes all prior agreements regarding the subject matter contained herein. Wealth One may amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement (the "amended terms") from time to time. If you continue to use the Service after the amended terms become effective, you are deemed to have agreed to be bound by the amended terms. If you do not agree to the amended terms, then you agree not to use the Service. Your continued use of the Service constitutes an affirmative: (a) acknowledgment by you of this Agreement and its amended terms; and (b) agreement by you to abide and be bound by the Agreement and its amended terms. A printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You acknowledge that certain states and federal regulatory bodies have enacted laws which place restrictions upon marketing activities and this Agreement shall be modified as and when needed to comply with applicable laws and statutes. This Agreement does not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, employment or franchise relationship between you and Wealth One or any Service Provider. Wealth One’s failure to act in a particular circumstance does not waive its right to act with respect to that or other circumstances. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect, and the provision affected will be construed so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permissible by law. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement by Wealth One will be effective only if in writing and signed by Wealth One. PLEASE PRINT AND RETAIN A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR YOUR RECORDS. |
