Terms of Use

The mission of Portfolio Charts is to help DIY investors around the world make educated decisions. I hope you enjoy it as much as I love creating it. Every good thing requires a few ground rules to protect both sides, so here are the Terms of Use (“Terms”) that define our relationship. These Terms may change at any time, so be sure to check back in occasionally to stay up to date.

/// Last updated June 5, 2022 ///

By using the Portfolio Charts website and products in any way, you agree to ALL of the following Terms. If you don’t agree to these Terms, don’t use our Services.

Who we are

This website is owned and operated by Portfolio Charts, LLC, a Texas limited liability company. While it is the work of one dedicated investor, to keep things simple we refer to Portfolio Charts, LLC collectively as “Portfolio Charts” or “we” throughout these Terms. For the purposes of this document, we also refer to all Portfolio Charts related items such as the website and products as “Services”.

Rule #1

All Portfolio Charts Services are intended for educational use only. We are NOT professional brokers or financial advisers, and no information we provide is a substitute for qualified financial advice from someone who understands your personal situation. All investment choices are your own, and you agree that Portfolio Charts assumes no responsibility for any consequences related to your personal financial decisions. When in doubt, consult a licensed financial adviser.

If any part of the Agreement is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part is severable from the Agreement, and does not affect the validity or enforceability of the rest of the Agreement.
