4. Investment tools and model recommendations
ALTHOUGH KINETIK FINANCE SEEKS MULTIPLE ASSET CLASSES FOR ITS CLIENTS IN ORDER TO CREATE PROPOSED PORTFOLIOS, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT DIFFERENT OR UNRELATED ASSET CLASSES MAY NEVERTHELESS EXHIBIT CORRELATED PRICE MOVEMENT. THIS CORRELATION MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT YOUR ESRA ACCOUNT AND MAY BECOME MORE ACUTE IN TIMES OF MARKET UPHEAVAL OR HIGH VOLATILITY. ALTHOUGH KINETIK FINANCE EVALUATES POTENTIAL ACCOUNT ALLOCATIONS, KINETIK FINANCE MAKES NO REPRESENTATION REGARDING THE LIKELIHOOD OR PROBABILITY THAT ANY ACTUAL OR PROPOSED ACCOUNT ALLOCATION WILL IN FACT ACHIEVE A PARTICULAR INVESTMENT OUTCOME OR GOAL. PAST PERFORMANCE DOES NOT NECESSARILY INDICATE FUTURE RESULTS. RETURNS FOR ANY PERIOD MAY BE SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT FROM THOSE OF PREVIOUS PERIODS. KINETIK FINANCE CANNOT PREDICT OR FORECAST MARKET DIRECTION OR MOVEMENT OR OTHER FACTORS INCLUDING INVESTMENT EXPENSE RATIOS THAT MAY AFFECT THE VALUE OF ANY INVESTMENT. KINETIK FINANCE DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION(S) REGARDING THE EXECUTION OF ORDERS PLACED WITH THE CUSTODIAN OF YOUR ESRA.
The Services are designed to provide investing guidance. However, you should carefully consider the appropriateness of the proposed allocations in light of your own personal financial circumstances, including cash flow needs, tax circumstances, or other unique or subjective concerns. We urge you to use all available resources to become informed about investing in general, as well as the specific investments and the overall allocation of your ESRA. Additionally, market conditions and your personal financial circumstances may change—perhaps suddenly or gradually over time. We recommend that you reassess any investing program on a regular basis to ensure that it remains consistent with your current financial resources and investment objectives.
Kinetik Finance and our communications may include forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements (including words such as “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “may,” “will,” “should,” and “expect”). Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Various factors could cause actual results, investment expense ratio fees or performance to differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements.
Certain Clients may have investment results that differ materially from other Clients. ESRAs managed by Kinetik Finance may lose value, in some cases potentially a significant loss may occur.
The analysis we provide is made on a best-efforts basis to estimate the internal expenses in your ESRA. The analysis is designed to give you an estimate for the actual costs you incur in your ESRA. You should always check the most recent prospectus for each fund you own in your account to determine the exact actual costs you incur in your ESRA.
When we prepare a proposed allocation, we are limited to the fund options available in your ESRA. We cannot achieve in every case the average expense that other Kinetik Finance users achieve.

You agree not to create an Account using a pseudonym, false identity or information, or on behalf of someone other than yourself. We reserve the right in our sole discretion to suspend or terminate your Account and/or refuse any and all current or future use of the Services (or any portion thereof) at any time for any reason.

8. Your use of Services
Your use of our Services is personal to you and not transferable to any other person or entity. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable, limited license to use and access the Services, solely for your own personal, noncommercial use and for lawful purposes only. You will need to subscribe to our Services in order to receive investment advice specific to your ESRA.
Kinetik Finance’s advisory services are discretionary. Kinetik Finance does not and will not accept custody of your assets, although we are deemed to have constructive custody of your assets by virtue of our authority regarding your ESRA. Your assets shall be held by an independent custodian (“Custodian”) whom we did not select or on whose selection we did not advise. Our Services are intended to assist you in making investment decisions and in your investment management. Our Services are not a substitute for your own informed judgment. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN INVESTMENT DECISIONS. YOU MAY ACCEPT, MODIFY OR REJECT ANY PORTFOLIO OR INVESTMENT RECOMMENDATIONS PROVIDED BY KINETIK FINANCE. WHEN WE GENERATE YOUR INITIAL RECOMMENDATION FOR YOU, YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO ADJUST THE RECOMMENDATION BEFORE DIRECTING US TO IMPLEMENT THE RECOMMENDATION IN YOUR ESRA AT YOUR CUSTODIAN.
Kinetik Finance relies on information provided by you in order to generate recommendations and is not responsible for any recommendation(s) based on inaccurate information. You acknowledge that if you provide false or inaccurate information to Kinetik Finance, the investment advice provided to you may not match your investment needs. No Client or prospective Client should assume that the Services serve as a substitute for personalized holistic advice that takes into account all of their current financial circumstances.
Web-based advice has limitations that prospective customers should consider before subscribing to use the Site or our Services. Specifically, in a web-based advisory arrangement, you will not receive investment advice face-to-face, by telephone, or other individualized interaction with an investment advisor. Our Services use our web-based application to facilitate the Client/advisor relationship. Support provided by telephone, live chat, email, and text is for the express purpose of assisting in technical matters, subscription setup, and processing of paperwork. YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR CUSTODIAN DIRECTLY TO CHANGE INVESTMENT ALLOCATIONS IMMEDIATELY EVEN IF YOU ARE A CLIENT. Clients receive investment advice through the web service only, therefore limiting their ability to ask specific investment questions or relay detailed personal information beyond what is gathered through the Site. Moreover, such a web-based advisory arrangement also limits our ability to assess the unique financial condition of each Client, as well as each Client’s specific investment goals.
We reserve the right, at any time, to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services (in whole or in part) with or without notice to you. You agree that we will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services or any part thereof.

You acknowledge and agree that we do not have and will not have any obligation(s) to provide you with any support or maintenance in connection with the Services. You agree that we are not obligated to create or provide any correction(s), update(s), upgrade(s), bug fixe(s), and/or enhancement(s) of the Services (each an “Update”). However, in the event we offer an Update, you agree that we may amend these Terms in connection with such Update without specific notice to you and that your use of the Services following such Update is conditioned upon your acceptance of any revised Terms. By using the Services following an Update, you represent that you have reviewed the then-applicable and then-current version of these Terms and agree to be bound by such version.
You agree that Kinetik Finance may use your feedback, social media content, suggestions, or ideas (collectively, “Feedback”) in any way, including in future modifications of our Services, other products or services, advertising, or marketing materials and that the submission of any Feedback is at your own risk and that we have no obligation(s) (including, without limitation, obligation(s) of confidentiality) with respect to such Feedback. You grant Kinetik Finance a perpetual, worldwide, fully transferable, sublicensable, irrevocable, fully paid-up, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, perform, display, distribute, adapt, modify, re-format, create derivative works of, and otherwise commercially or non-commercially exploit in any manner we deem appropriate the Feedback you provide to Kinetik Finance and to sublicense the foregoing rights. Kinetik Finance will not sell, publish or share your Feedback in a way that could reasonably be expected to identify you without your explicit consent.

Kinetik Finance supports the two latest versions of the following browsers: Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari. We cannot guarantee the accuracy or functionality of any advice or information offered on the Site unless viewed in a supported browser.
21. Fees and purchase terms
You agree to pay all fees or charges to your Account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. Such fees and charges include, without limitation, the fee for your subscription to the Services. Except as otherwise described herein or in our billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable, all fees are nonrefundable.
All payment information that you provide in connection with the Services must be accurate, current, and complete. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use any payment card(s) or other payment means used to pay any fee or charge. By providing us with your payment information, you agree that we are authorized to invoice you immediately for all fees and charges due and payable to us hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required. You agree to notify us immediately of any change to your payment information. We reserve the right at any time to change our prices and billing methods, either immediately upon posting on the Site or by email delivery to you.
You will be responsible for paying any applicable taxes relating to your payments hereunder and will indemnify and hold us harmless from any and all taxes, including sales tax, based on any payments made or received by you in connection with the Services. Any taxes imposed on payments will be your sole responsibility. Upon our request, you will provide us with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes.
Your subscription to the Services will continue on a month-to-month basis until terminated in accordance with these Terms. After your initial subscription period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically commence on the first day following the end of such period (each a “Renewal Commencement Date”) and continue for an additional equivalent period, at our then-current price for such subscription. You agree that your Account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless you cancel your subscription at any time prior to the Renewal Commencement Date by closing your Account (see Section 18 above). If you cancel your subscription, your subscription will immediately terminate. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your method of payment now, and again at the beginning of any subsequent subscription period. Upon renewal of your subscription, if we do not receive payment, (i) you agree to pay all amounts due on your Account upon demand, and/or (ii) you agree that we may either terminate or suspend your subscription and continue to attempt to charge your method of payment until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your Account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received).
22. Third party links
The Services may contain links to third-party websites and services (collectively, “Third-Party Links”). Such Third-Party Links are not under our control, and we will not be liable for any Third-Party Links. We provide access to these Third-Party Links only as a convenience to you, and we do not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to Third-Party Links. You use all Third-Party Links at your own risk, and should apply a suitable level of caution and discretion in doing so.
23. Miscellaneous
These Terms, together with the Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Site and the Services. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” means “including without limitation”. If any provision contained in your Agreement or these Terms is or becomes invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in whole or in part, such invalidity, legality, or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions and portions of your Agreement or these Terms and the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Our failure to enforce a provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

These Terms, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without our prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.

25. Business continuity.
SEC rules require investment advisers to create and maintain a disaster recovery and business continuity plan. In accordance with these rules, Kinetik Finance has developed a plan intended to enable us to continue to meet our responsibilities and manage critical business operations if we are affected by natural disasters, power outages, or other significant events.
Kinetik Finance makes no representations or warranties that our Services will continue without interruption in all circumstances.
Our plans address the actions and considerations that will be taken in response to a significant disruption. Our initial priority will be the safety and security of our employees and business partners. Account access will be restored as soon as possible, followed by other critical business operations. YOU CAN ACCESS YOUR ESRA DIRECTLY THROUGH YOUR CUSTODIAN.
If there is a location disruption such as due to tornado or fire, our plans call for us to establish operations at an alternate location.
