Last updated on January 2022

Terms of Use Agreement

1. Description of the Ripsaw Services

Ripsaw Wealth Tools is a comprehensive platform that combines automated access to all th e assets and liabilities in an individual or family’s wealth portfolio (balance sheet) with the necessary financial market data to analyze its risk and expected return characteristics. The automation provides monitoring of how a wealth portfolio changes as market conditions evolve. The “what if” analytic platform evaluates how asset allocation revisions would change the risk and expected return metrics of each security, each account and the family’s aggregate wealth portfolio before making the implementation trades.

Ripsaw is independent and is not and never intends to be a Financial Advisor or provide any advice about your personal investment decisions. We provide the platform and tools to make those activities easier for you to manage yourself.

Our goal is to provide you with a wealth management solution for a better view into your financial and wealth picture. Our services (“Ripsaw Services”) are comprised of the following features, delivered to you through our website, the Wealth Tools, marketing partners, and through communications with our professionals, as follows:

Financial account aggregation

We offer financial account aggregation, where Ripsaw, acting as your authorized agent, will retrieve your financial account information, such as your account balances, transactions and holdings, from financial institutions you designate. Financial account aggregation is an optional service you may utilize by providing us with financial account credentials, allowing us to securely connect with third-party financial institutions to present your financial information to you on our Wealth Tools. Our account aggregation services are regularly refreshed, effortlessly providing you with up-to-date financial account information.
