(i) Securities and Qualified Investors
The content of this Website is not an offer or a solicitation to invest in any security. By requesting information from Uglobal.com, you represent and warrant that, to the best of your knowledge, you are either (or both) (1) an accredited investor as defined under the laws of the United States of America or (2) a person not present in the United States. For this purpose, an accredited investor is defined as a natural person who earns an individual income of more than $200,000 per year, or a joint income of $300,000 with spouse, in each of the last two years and expects to reasonably maintain such level of income in the current year, or who has a net worth exceeding $1 million, either individually or jointly with his or her spouse, excluding equity in his or her primary residence.

(j) Release
Uglobal.com provides the technological foundations or forum where the public can access both investment information and Professional Members. Uglobal.com provides the conduit for investment information; however, we are not involved in the correspondence or conversation between the Professional Member and you. We do not monitor, verify, or filter any of the responses from the Professional Members; nor can we guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any professional’s response. Uglobal.com is neither a professional referral service nor engaged in making any recommendations about whether you should use a particular professional's services or not. You hereby acknowledge all of the statements in these terms and conditions and unconditionally and irrevocably remise, release, and forever discharge Uglobal.com, its affiliates, independent contractors, service providers and consultants, and each of their respective directors, officers, managers, employees and agents, of and from all, and all manner of, actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, debts, dues, contracts, judgments, damages, claims, and demands whatsoever in law or equity, which you ever had, now have, or shall, or may have for or by reason of any matter, cause, or thing whatsoever arising out of the use of the Website or the relationship between you and any Professional Member introduced to you through this Website.
You hereby waive the provisions of section 1542 of the California Civil Code, and all applicable, similar provisions of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Section 1542 of the California Civil Code states:
“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”
(k) No Attorney-Client or Financial Advisor-Client Relationship
You understand and agree that use of the Website does not in any way create or establish an attorney-client privilege or attorney-client relationship between you and any Professional Member. You should recognize that the information provided on the Website (including past questions and answers and articles posted on the site) is provided for your general information. These materials should not be relied on as investment advice and reading and reviewing them is not a substitute for direct consultation with an Professional about a specific investment situation.
Without limiting the foregoing, you understand and agree that submitting a Free Question or receiving an answer to a Free Question does not in any way create or establish an attorney-client relationship between you and any Professional Member, or between you and us. The information and answers provided in response to Free Questions is intended to be generic investment information, not investment advice, and is based upon the very limited information provided by you in a Free Question. Specific investment advice can only be given with full knowledge of all of the facts and circumstances of your situation. Under no circumstances should the information obtained on this site be used to make decisions about the quality of service provided by an attorney or about the proper course of an investment matter.
(l) No Attorney-Client Privilege or Confidential Relationship
Because no attorney-client or other confidential relationship is created through the use of the Website, or by submitting a Free Question or receiving an answer to a Free Question, no attorney-client or confidentiality is formed between you and any Professional Member, or between you and us. Professional Members do not know the names of, or any other information about, the users whose Free Questions they answer except for the information provided in the Free Question itself.
(m) Representing Adverse Parties
Because no attorney-client or other confidential relationship is created through the use of the Website, or by submitting a Free Question or receiving an answer to a Free Question, a Professional Member who answers your Free Question on the Website does not forfeit the right to represent adverse parties should you take your case to court.

The content of this Website is not an offer or a solicitation to invest in any security. By requesting information from Uglobal.com, you represent and warrant that, to the best of your knowledge, you are either (or both) (1) an accredited investor as defined under the laws of the United States of America or (2) a person not present in the United States. For this purpose, an accredited investor is defined as a natural person who earns an individual income of more than $200,000 per year, or a joint income of $300,000 with spouse, in each of the last two years and expects to reasonably maintain such level of income in the current year, or who has a net worth exceeding $1 million, either individually or jointly with his or her spouse, excluding equity in his or her primary residence.

(j) Release
Uglobal.com provides the technological foundations or forum where the public can access both investment information and Professional Members. Uglobal.com provides the conduit for investment information; however, we are not involved in the correspondence or conversation between the Professional Member and you. We do not monitor, verify, or filter any of the responses from the Professional Members; nor can we guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any professional’s response. Uglobal.com is neither a professional referral service nor engaged in making any recommendations about whether you should use a particular professional's services or not. You hereby acknowledge all of the statements in these terms and conditions and unconditionally and irrevocably remise, release, and forever discharge Uglobal.com, its affiliates, independent contractors, service providers and consultants, and each of their respective directors, officers, managers, employees and agents, of and from all, and all manner of, actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, debts, dues, contracts, judgments, damages, claims, and demands whatsoever in law or equity, which you ever had, now have, or shall, or may have for or by reason of any matter, cause, or thing whatsoever arising out of the use of the Website or the relationship between you and any Professional Member introduced to you through this Website.
You hereby waive the provisions of section 1542 of the California Civil Code, and all applicable, similar provisions of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Section 1542 of the California Civil Code states:
“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

These materials should not be relied on as investment advice and reading and reviewing them is not a substitute for direct consultation with an Professional about a specific investment situation.
Without limiting the foregoing, you understand and agree that submitting a Free Question or receiving an answer to a Free Question does not in any way create or establish an attorney-client relationship between you and any Professional Member, or between you and us. The information and answers provided in response to Free Questions is intended to be generic investment information, not investment advice, and is based upon the very limited information provided by you in a Free Question.

Professional Members do not know the names of, or any other information about, the users whose Free Questions they answer except for the information provided in the Free Question itself.
