Disclaimer

Last Updated: December 2024

This page contains important disclaimers regarding your use of Kinfora. Please read these carefully as they apply to all content, services, and features provided by Kinfora.

Educational Purpose Disclaimer

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY

Kinfora provides trading education for informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on this platform constitutes:

  • Investment advice or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security
  • An offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security
  • Financial planning, tax, or legal advice
  • A guarantee of future investment performance or outcomes

Always consult with a qualified financial advisor, tax professional, or legal counsel before making investment decisions.

Investment Risk Warning

IMPORTANT RISK DISCLOSURE

Trading and investing in securities involves substantial risk of loss. Before trading with real money, you should carefully consider:

  • Your investment objectives and risk tolerance
  • Your financial situation and experience level
  • The possibility of losing some or all of your investment
  • The complexity and risks specific to different types of securities

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Historical returns, expected returns, and probability projections may not reflect actual future performance.

Never invest money you cannot afford to lose. If you're unsure whether trading is appropriate for your situation, seek professional financial advice.

What Kinfora Is and Is Not

Kinfora IS:

  • An educational technology company
  • A provider of trading education and curriculum
  • A provider of trading simulations using virtual money (paper trading)
  • An issuer of educational certificates of achievement
  • A platform for peer learning and community discussion

Kinfora is NOT:

  • A Registered Investment Advisor (RIA)
  • A Broker-Dealer
  • A provider of personalized investment advice
  • An issuer of regulatory licenses or certifications
  • Affiliated with the SEC, FINRA, CFA Institute, or any regulatory body
  • A guarantee of trading success or profitability

Trading Simulation Disclaimer

SIMULATED PERFORMANCE LIMITATIONS

Our trading simulation platform uses virtual money only. Important limitations to understand:

  • Virtual portfolio results are hypothetical and do not reflect actual trading
  • Simulations cannot replicate real market conditions including slippage, partial fills, and liquidity constraints
  • Emotional factors present in real trading are absent in simulations
  • Transaction costs and fees may differ from real brokerage accounts
  • Market data may be delayed or differ from live market conditions

Success in paper trading does not guarantee success in real trading. Real trading requires managing emotions, capital allocation, and other factors not present in simulation.

AI Trading Coach Disclaimer

AI EDUCATIONAL TOOL

The Kinfora AI Trading Coach is an educational tool powered by artificial intelligence. Important limitations:

  • AI responses are generated based on educational content and may contain errors or inaccuracies
  • The AI Coach does not know your personal financial situation
  • AI recommendations are educational suggestions, not personalized investment advice
  • You should verify all information independently before acting on it
  • AI analysis of simulated trades is for learning purposes only

Never rely solely on AI responses for real trading decisions. Always conduct your own research and consult qualified professionals.

Certificate Disclaimer

About Kinfora Certificates

Kinfora certificates (TF-100, RM-200, TA-200, TP-300, MT-400) recognize completion of our educational curriculum and assessments. They demonstrate educational achievement and commitment to learning.

Kinfora certificates are NOT:

  • Licenses to trade or manage money
  • Regulatory certifications (like Series 7 or CFA)
  • Issued by or affiliated with any regulatory body
  • Qualifications for any regulated financial services activity
  • Guarantees of trading competence or future performance

While our curriculum is aligned with CFA Level I and Series 7 exam content for educational rigor, Kinfora certificates are independent educational credentials and should not be confused with regulatory certifications.

Third-Party Content Disclaimer

The Kinfora platform may contain:

  • Links to third-party websites and resources
  • Market data provided by third-party sources
  • User-generated content in community forums
  • Integration with external services (LinkedIn, blockchain networks)

Kinfora is not responsible for the accuracy, reliability, or content of third-party sources. External links do not constitute endorsement. Market data is provided "as is" and may be delayed.

No Guarantee of Results

Kinfora makes no guarantees regarding:

  • Future trading performance or profitability
  • Career outcomes or employment opportunities
  • The accuracy or completeness of educational content
  • The effectiveness of any particular trading strategy
  • Platform availability or uninterrupted service

Individual results vary based on many factors including effort, market conditions, and individual circumstances.

Testimonials and Case Studies

Any testimonials, reviews, or case studies presented on our platform:

  • Represent individual experiences and may not be typical
  • Are not guarantees of similar results for other users
  • May relate to simulated trading results, not real trading
  • Should not be interpreted as promises of specific outcomes

Regulatory Compliance

Kinfora operates as an educational platform and is not registered with or regulated by:

  • The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
  • The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)
  • Any state securities regulators
  • The CFA Institute or other professional certification bodies

Our platform does not require such registration as we do not provide investment advice, execute real trades, or manage real money.

Geographic Limitations

While Kinfora is accessible globally, our educational content is primarily designed with U.S. markets and regulations in mind. Users outside the United States should:

  • Understand that market structures and regulations differ by country
  • Consult local professionals for jurisdiction-specific advice
  • Be aware of local laws regarding trading and financial education
