Not Included in the Services

While the Services can be used to identify the right Plan for you, you must enroll in a Plan directly with the plan administrators (“Plan Administrators”). Hadley does not manage any Plans. Plans are managed by Plan Administrators and for all matters concerning the management, monitoring and administration of your Plan, you should deal directly with the Plan Administrators. Hadley is not affiliated with Plan Administrators. Hadley makes no warranties or representations whatsoever with regard to any services provided by Plan Administrators. When navigating to Plan Administrator websites or applications, understand that Hadley does not own or control (or purport to own or control) any such third-party content. You will not consider Hadley, nor will Hadley be construed as, a party to such transactions, whether or not Hadley may have received some form of revenue or other remuneration in connection with the transaction or be liable for any costs or damages arising out of, either directly or indirectly, you or any other person involved or related to the transaction.

Hadley may communicate with the Plan Administrator about your transactions or account information only to the extent that such communication is necessary in order to deliver services to you.

Contact your Plan Administrator or your state’s program to confirm the most current tax laws and policies. Tax laws and regulations change frequently, and their application can vary widely based on the specific facts and circumstances involved. Hadley does not offer tax services or advice. Always consult your tax advisor regarding your specific tax situation before you make any tax-related decisions.

All investment carries risk of loss, including loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results. There can be no assurance that any investment will achieve its objectives or avoid substantial losses. Ownership of all investment decisions undertaken by you shall vest with you after consideration of possible risks of such decisions. Plan participants should consult with tax and financial specialists prior to opening or modifying a Plan.
