1. Agreement
These terms apply to your use of The Golden Standard website (the "Site"), operated by Jack and Linda Harper ("we", "us"). By using the Site, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.
2. Education only, not advice
Everything on the Site is general educational information. It is not investment, tax, legal or retirement-planning advice, and it isn't tailored to your situation. We are not a broker, dealer, custodian, investment adviser, tax professional or attorney. Precious metals can lose value and carry costs that other investments don't. Talk to a licensed professional before making decisions about your retirement savings.
3. Accuracy of information
We work to keep figures such as fees, minimums, contribution limits and prices accurate and dated, but they change and we can't guarantee they're current or complete. Confirm all terms directly with any company before you act.
4. Affiliate relationships
Some links on the Site are affiliate links, and we may be paid if you request information from or open an account with a linked company. Details are in our affiliate disclosure. Any agreement you make with a linked company is between you and that company.
5. Third-party websites
The Site links to websites we don't control. We aren't responsible for their content, products, services, privacy practices or availability, and a link isn't an endorsement of everything on that site.
6. Using the Site
You may read and share the Site's content for personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to:
- Copy, republish or sell our content without written permission
- Scrape or harvest content or data with automated tools
- Interfere with the Site's security or operation
- Use the Site for anything unlawful or misleading
7. Intellectual property
The Site's text, design and graphics belong to us or our licensors and are protected by copyright and other laws. Company names and trademarks mentioned on the Site belong to their owners and are used only to identify them.
8. No warranties
The Site is provided "as is" and "as available." To the extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose and uninterrupted availability.
9. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the Site or your reliance on its content, including investment losses and losses from dealings with companies we link to. Where liability can't be excluded, it's limited to the maximum extent the law permits.
10. Indemnity
You agree to cover any claims, losses or costs that arise from your breach of these terms or misuse of the Site.
11. Privacy
Our privacy policy explains what information the Site collects and how it's used.
12. Changes
We may update these terms. The effective date at the top shows when they last changed, and continuing to use the Site after a change means you accept it.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest still applies.
