Terms & Conditions

Terms of Use

This agreement was last updated on May 15, 2018. This Subscriber Agreement and Terms of Use govern subscriptions to FIN News, FIN Searches and Emerging Manager Monthly, and, unless other terms and conditions expressly govern, any other electronic services from GRLM, LLC, dba Financial Investment News (FIN) that may be made available from time to time (each, a “Service”). By subscribing to a Service, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

By using the Service you agree to be bound by all of the terms in this Terms and Conditions of Use Agreement (the “Agreement”). If you do not fully agree with this Agreement, do not use the Service. Your failure to follow this Agreement may result in termination of your access to the Service, without notice and in addition to any other remedies available to FIN.

Changes to Subscriber Agreement.

We may change the terms of this Agreement at any time without notice. The changes will appear in this document, which you can access at any time by going to the Terms section of our website. You agree to review this agreement periodically and signify that you agree to be bound by such changes by using a Service after changes are made to this Agreement.

Privacy and Your Account.

1. Subscriber data and other information about you are subject to our Privacy Policy (available on our website). If you access a Service using a password, you are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of that password. If you provide someone else with access to your password to a Service, they will have the ability to view information about your account and make changes through the website for the Service. You agree to notify us promptly if you change your email address so we can continue to serve your subscription and/or contact you and send any notices required hereunder. If you fail to notify us promptly of a change, any subscription service or notice we send to your old address or email shall be deemed sufficient notice of fulfillment of the subscription terms.
2. No credit card information is ever stored on our servers. We use Stripe.com, one of the most secure and reputable payment processors available. All card numbers are encrypted on disk with AES-256 and decryption keys are stored on separate machines. None of Stripe’s internal servers and daemons are able to obtain plaintext card numbers; instead, they can just request that cards be sent to a service provider on a static whitelist.

Stripe’s infrastructure for storing, decrypting, and transmitting card numbers runs in separate hosting infrastructure and doesn’t share any credentials with Stripe’s primary services (API, website, etc.) For more information, you can visit Stripe’s security policy at https://stripe.com/docs/security.

Fulfillment, Fees and Payments.

1. Financial Investment News agrees to serve you a subscription for a period of 1-year, unless otherwise agreed upon as noted on an invoice from Financial Investment News. You agree to pay the subscription fees incurred in connection with your subscription. Unless you have paid by check, we will bill all charges automatically to your credit card. Subscription fees will be billed at the beginning of your subscription or any renewal. Generally, all fees and charges are non-refundable. We reserve the right to issue refunds or credits at our sole discretion. If we do issue a refund or credit, we are under no obligation to issue the same or similar refund in the future. We may change the fees and charges then in effect, or add new fees or charges, by giving you notice in advance and an opportunity to cancel.

If you have opted for payment by invoice, payment is expected within 30 days from the start of your new subscription term.

1. FIN is not responsible for crediting any period where our services were not accessible due to an outstanding payment.
2. Cancellation Policy: If you wish to cancel an annual subscription, you can do so at any time but the cancellation becomes effective at the end of your current billing period. Your cancellation will cancel only future charges associated with your subscription. All cancellations are effective the following billing cycle. You will not receive a refund for the current billing cycle. You will continue to have the same access and benefits of your membership for the remainder of the current billing period.
3. Annual Refund Requests. Annual subscription refund requests may be honored within the first 5 days of initial purchase only. We will refund the full amount of such initial purchase, less the credit card processing fee. All refund requests must be received in writing to [email protected].
