Canterbury Consulting Incorporated
Canterbury Website Terms of Use

Last Updated: July 7, 2026

These Terms of Use are entered into by and between you and Canterbury Consulting Incorporated (“CCI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

These terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, the “Terms”), govern your access to and use of our public websites, including any pages, subdomains, forms, features, and related online services that link to these Terms (collectively, the “Sites”). These Terms do not apply to any other service that is governed by separate terms or a separate written agreement with CCI.

Please read the Terms carefully before you start to use the Sites. By using the Sites or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, incorporated herein by reference. If you do not want to agree to these Terms, including the agreements incorporated by reference herein, you must not access or use the Sites.

By using the Sites, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with CCI. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the Sites.

These Terms contain a mandatory individual arbitration agreement and class action/jury trial waiver provision that require, with only limited and specified exceptions, the exclusive use of final and binding arbitration on an individual basis only to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions or proceedings.

ELIGIBILITY

The Sites are intended for use only by individuals who are of legal age to form a binding contract with CCI. The Sites are not directed to children, and minors should not submit Personal Information, employment applications, financial account information, investment information, or other information through the Sites.

MODIFICATION OF TERMS

We reserve the right to change or modify these Terms at any time and in our sole discretion. If we make changes to these Terms, we will provide notice of such changes, such as by updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms. By continuing to use the Sites at any point after such update, you confirm your acceptance of the revised Terms and all terms incorporated by reference. You should review these Terms frequently to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions that apply when you access or use the Sites. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you may not access or use the Sites.

PRIVACY POLICY

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information about how we collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process your Personal Information. For purposes of these Terms, “Personal Information” has the meaning set forth in the Privacy Policy.

Our use of cookies, analytics tools, pixels, and similar tracking technologies, if any, is described in our Privacy Policy or any Cookie Notice or similar notice made available through the Sites.

SENSITIVE INFORMATION

Do not submit Social Security numbers, financial account information, investment objectives, tax information, estate-planning information, wire or transfer instructions, login credentials, or other sensitive information through general Sites forms or email unless CCI has expressly directed you to use that channel and the channel is identified as secure. Information submitted through general website forms may not be appropriate for urgent, confidential, or time-sensitive communications.

NO TRANSACTION OR ACCOUNT INSTRUCTIONS

Do not use general Sites features to submit trade orders, securities transaction instructions, account opening or maintenance instructions, wire or transfer instructions, beneficiary changes, instructions requiring action by CCI, or other time-sensitive directions. CCI is not responsible for acting on, or for any failure to act on, any such instructions submitted through an unauthorized channel.

NO ADVISORY, CLIENT, OR FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP

Your use of the Sites, your review of content on the Sites, your submission of information through the Sites, or CCI’s receipt, review, or response to any submission does not create an advisory, fiduciary, client, employment, or other professional relationship between you and CCI. Any advisory or client relationship with CCI may be established only through a separate written agreement with CCI and satisfaction of applicable onboarding, eligibility, regulatory, and compliance requirements.

COMMUNICATIONS

By using our Sites, you consent to receive electronic communications from us, including by email or by postings on the Sites. These communications may include transactional or administrative notices relating to your use of the Sites and are part of your existing relationship with us. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Arbitration Agreement

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH CCI AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

Covered Disputes; Arbitration Law. These Terms, including all matters of construction, validity, and performance, and all disputes arising out of or connected with these Terms or the Sites (each a “Dispute,” and collectively, the “Disputes”), are subject to this Dispute Resolution section. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this Arbitration Agreement. The governing law for these Terms is stated in the General section below.

Mediation and Arbitration. Before commencing arbitration, either party may submit a Dispute to non-binding mediation under the Commercial Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). If the Dispute is not resolved within two (2) months after appointment of a mediator, either party may submit the Dispute to final and binding individual arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA.

Location, Language, and Small Claims. The place of mediation or arbitration will be the AAA office nearest to CCI’s principal place of business in Orange County, California, unless the parties agree otherwise or the applicable AAA rules require otherwise. The language of the mediation or arbitration will be English. Either party may bring an individual claim in a small claims court in California if the Dispute is less than $10,000 USD and qualifies for treatment on a non-jury basis in that court.

Individual Proceedings; Court Relief. All Disputes will be mediated, arbitrated, or litigated only on an individual basis. You irrevocably waive any right you may otherwise have to proceed on a class or collective basis. You also irrevocably waive the right to trial by jury and any argument or claim of improper venue or forum non conveniens. Nothing in this section prevents either party from commencing an action or proceeding to compel arbitration, obtain injunctive relief pending appointment of an arbitrator, or obtain execution of any arbitration award. Venue for any such court proceedings will be in the state courts located in Orange County, California, or the federal courts with jurisdiction over Orange County, California.

Fees and Awards. The parties will bear their own expenses, except that the parties will equally share the expenses of any mediator or arbitrator, other than required non-refundable filing fees, which will be paid solely by the party asserting the Dispute. The prevailing party in any arbitration may seek from the arbitrator an award of that party’s reasonable outside attorneys’ fees and costs incurred. Judgment on any award rendered by any arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. With respect to all persons and entities, regardless of whether they have obtained or used our Sites for personal, commercial, or other purposes, all claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims. You and we agree that the arbitrator may award relief only to an individual claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief on that individual claimant’s claim(s). Any relief awarded may not affect other users. You and we agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding of any kind.

GENERAL

International Issues. We operate the Sites from the United States of America. If you choose to access the Sites from outside the United States of America, you are responsible for complying with applicable local laws.

Entire Agreement. These Terms, any additional or supplemental terms that we post or make available and that expressly apply to particular features of the Sites, and our Privacy Policy constitute the entire legal agreement between you and us with respect to your access to and use of the Sites. These Terms do not supersede any separate written agreement between you and CCI, including any client, advisory, portal, employment, account, or other agreement, which will govern its own subject matter. If these Terms conflict with any such separate written agreement, the separate written agreement will control solely with respect to its subject matter.

Interpretation. The language in these Terms will be interpreted as to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against any party.

Severability. Should any part of these Terms be held invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, that portion will be deemed severed from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms.

No Waivers. Our failure or delay to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute or be deemed a waiver of future exercise or enforcement of such right or provision. The waiver of any right or provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed on our behalf by a duly authorized representative.

Governing Law. Except as provided in the Arbitration Agreement with respect to the Federal Arbitration Act, all matters arising out of or relating to these Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California and the federal laws of the United States of America applicable therein, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule.

Venue. Subject to the Dispute Resolution section, any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms will be brought exclusively in the state courts located in Orange County, California, or the federal courts with jurisdiction over Orange County, California, and we and you irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.

Notices. We may provide you with any notices, including, without limitation, those regarding changes to these Terms, by email or postings on the Sites. By providing us with your email address, you consent to our use of the email address to send you any notices. Notices sent by email will be effective when we send the email, and notices we provide by posting will be effective upon posting. It is your responsibility to keep your email address current. Formal legal notices to CCI must be sent in writing by personal delivery, nationally recognized overnight courier, or certified or registered mail to Canterbury Consulting Incorporated, 610 Newport Center Drive, Suite 500, Newport Beach, CA 92660, Attn: Legal Notices, with a copy by email to info@canterburyconsulting.com. Notices to CCI will be effective upon receipt.

Assignment. You may not assign any of your rights or obligations under these Terms, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms in our sole discretion to an affiliate or in connection with an acquisition, sale, or merger. These Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the applicable parties and their successors and permitted assigns.

Survival. Any provisions that by their nature should survive termination or expiration of these Terms will survive, including provisions relating to intellectual property, Feedback, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, governing law, venue, notices, and general terms.
