These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and VaultBridgeFO ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the VaultBridgeFO platform, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service").
By creating an account, clicking "I agree," or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you represent that: (a) you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms; (b) you are at least 18 years of age; (c) you have the legal authority to enter into this agreement on behalf of yourself or the entity you represent; and (d) your use of the Service complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a business entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity, and references to "you" shall refer to both you individually and that entity.
2. Description of Service
VaultBridgeFO provides a secure, cloud-based document management and communication platform that enables financial professionals ("Professionals") and their clients ("Clients") to upload, store, share, and organize financial documents, complete tax and financial questionnaires, and communicate through a structured permission-controlled interface.
THE SERVICE IS A TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM ONLY. VaultBridgeFO is not a law firm, accounting firm, tax preparation service, financial advisory firm, registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, or any other type of licensed professional service provider. The Service does not constitute and must not be relied upon as legal, tax, financial, investment, or professional advice of any kind.
VaultBridgeFO is not a party to, and has no involvement in, the professional engagement between any Professional and any Client. Any such relationship exists solely between the Professional and the Client.
3. Account Registration and Security
3.1 Account Creation
You must provide accurate, complete, and current information when creating an account. You agree to update your information promptly if it changes. Providing false, misleading, or incomplete information is grounds for immediate termination of your account.
3.2 Account Security
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your login credentials. You agree to: (a) use a strong, unique password; (b) not share your credentials with any third party; (c) notify us immediately at admin@vaultbridgefo.com upon discovering any unauthorized use of your account or security breach.
VaultBridgeFO is not liable for any loss, damage, or liability arising from your failure to maintain credential security or from unauthorized access to your account resulting from your actions or omissions.
3.3 One Account Per User
Each User may maintain only one active account. Creating duplicate accounts to circumvent restrictions, suspension, or termination is prohibited and will result in termination of all associated accounts.
4. Subscriptions, Fees, and Payment
4.1 Paid Subscriptions
Access to the Service requires a paid subscription. Subscription tiers, pricing, and billing cycles are described on the Service's pricing page or as otherwise communicated to you at the time of purchase. All fees are stated in U.S. dollars.
4.2 Billing and Renewal
Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled prior to renewal. You authorize us to charge your payment method on file for all recurring fees. Failure to maintain valid payment information may result in suspension or termination of access.
4.3 No Refunds
All fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable law or as expressly stated in a written agreement with VaultBridgeFO. We reserve the right to modify pricing upon thirty (30) days' notice. Continued use of the Service after a price change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.
