8. Accuracy of Information
All of the information on this Site is for informational and educational purposes only. While the information is believed to be accurate, none of the information on this Site should be considered solely reliable for use in making actual investment decisions. Koan is a distributor (and not a publisher) of content supplied by third parties. None of the information on this Site is guaranteed to be accurate, complete, useful, or timely. Koan and its third-party providers do not warrant or guarantee such accuracy, completeness, usefulness, or timeliness. Koan neither endorses nor is responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, advice, or statement made on Koan.
Our service relies on third-party data providers to obtain stock market data. While we strive to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the information provided, Koan does not guarantee the correctness or completeness of data sourced from these third-party providers. Koan shall not be held accountable for any inaccuracies, errors, or omissions in the stock data presented, nor for any actions taken in reliance upon this data. Users are advised to independently verify stock information and use it at their own risk. Koan disclaims any responsibility for losses or damages arising from the use of this data.
9. Investment Decisions
You assume all risk associated with investment decisions made on the basis of information contained on this Site. It is our policy to never advocate the purchase or sale of any individual investment vehicle. You should also understand that Koan, its third-party providers, and their respective officers, directors, and employees may be active investors in the market and may or may not have open positions in any investment vehicle mentioned on this Site. Prior to the execution of a trade, you are advised to consult with your broker or other financial representative to verify pricing and other information. Koan, its third-party providers, and/or content partners shall have no liability for investment decisions based upon information found on this Site.
9.1 No Financial Advice — Educational Purposes Only
All information provided by Koan, including but not limited to analysis, signals, alerts, and market data, is furnished for informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on this Site or provided through our services constitutes financial, investment, or legal advice. By using our services, you acknowledge that Koan does not act as a fiduciary or registered financial advisor, and any trades or investments you make based on our information are done at your sole discretion and risk.
9.2 No Guarantee of Results
Koan makes no guarantee of success, profitability, or specific outcomes from the use of any data, signals, analysis, alerts, or backtested results provided. All backtested and simulated results are hypothetical and do not represent actual trading results. You agree that past performance — whether actual or simulated — is not indicative of future results, and that all trading and investment decisions carry inherent risks. Koan disclaims any liability for losses arising out of or related to your reliance on our information, and you alone are responsible for your trading and investment decisions.
