Terms of Use

Last updated: [DATE]

Draft — not yet approved for publication. Drafted to match how the platform actually works. Not reviewed by an attorney. Every highlighted item needs a real value, and the whole document requires legal review before this site accepts registrations in production. Sections 5, 9, 10, and 11 in particular carry legal weight and should not be published as written without review. Delete this notice once approved.

These terms apply when you use retire.matladu.com, operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] (“Retirement OS,” “we,” “us”). By registering for a Founding Membership or using the site, you agree to them.

1. Who may use this service

You must be at least 18 years old and a resident of [ELIGIBLE JURISDICTIONS]. You agree that the information you give us is accurate and that you will keep your account details up to date.

2. What Founding Membership includes

Founding Membership is complimentary. There is no cost, no credit card is required, and there is no obligation to purchase anything. It includes access to the 7 Pillars education library, the self-diagnostic calculators, the 7 Pillars Scoring System and Retirement Readiness Report, and the member portal.

The 7 Pillars of Retirement Readiness is scheduled for release [BOOK RELEASE TIMING], and Founding Members will receive it free when it becomes available. [CONFIRM: format (print, digital, both), how it will be delivered, and what happens if the release date moves. This is a promise made in the marketing copy and should be described accurately here.]

3. The tools are educational only

This is the most important thing in these terms. Everything on this site is educational. None of it is advice about your particular situation.

The calculators, scores, assessments, and the Retirement Readiness Report are educational tools that work from information you provide. They are not intended to provide, and should not be relied upon for, legal, tax, investment, insurance, or individualized financial advice. They are not intended to predict or guarantee retirement outcomes, and they do not recommend any particular investment, insurance product, allocation, or financial strategy.

Results depend entirely on the figures and assumptions you enter. We do not verify them. Different inputs produce different results, and no result should be treated as a projection of what will actually happen.

Consult a qualified professional — an attorney, tax adviser, or licensed financial professional — about your individual circumstances before making decisions.

Not affiliated with government programs

Retirement OS is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Social Security Administration, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Internal Revenue Service, or any other government agency or program.

4. The Retirement Readiness Review

You may request a complimentary Retirement Readiness Review. Requesting one is voluntary and is not required to use any part of your membership.

Product availability, features, limitations, and eligibility vary. Any guarantees associated with insurance products are subject to the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.

If you request a review, your details are provided to a licensed insurance agent so they can contact you, as described in our Privacy Policy.

5. Your account

You can delete your account at any time from Profile & Preferences in the portal. Deletion is permanent and removes your saved reports with it.

6. Acceptable use

Do not:

7. Our content

The educational content, calculators, scoring system, reports, text, design, and software on this site belong to [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] or its licensors. You may use them for your own personal, non-commercial retirement planning. You may keep and share your own reports.

8. Your content

The figures you enter remain yours. You grant us permission to store and process them for the purpose of producing your results and reports, and for nothing else, as described in the Privacy Policy.

9. Availability and changes

We aim to keep the service available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of it, and may add or remove calculators, content, or features.

We may update the educational content and the scoring methodology. If we do, previously generated reports remain as they were generated and are not recalculated.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

[LEGAL REVIEW REQUIRED — the enforceability and required wording of a warranty disclaimer varies by jurisdiction. This paragraph is placeholder framing, not final language.]

The service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or accuracy of results.

11. Limitation of liability

[LEGAL REVIEW REQUIRED — limitation caps and carve-outs vary by jurisdiction and some limitations are unenforceable. Do not publish this section as written.]

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Retirement OS is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for any decision you make based on educational tools provided here.

12. Ending your membership

You may delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms or that we reasonably believe is being used unlawfully. If we close your account other than for a breach, we will tell you and give you an opportunity to export your data.

13. Communications

By registering you consent to receive service messages about your account. If you also agreed to receive educational emails, you can turn those off at any time in Profile & Preferences, or by using the unsubscribe link in any email. Turning off educational emails does not close your account.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We will change the date at the top, and if a change materially affects your rights we will tell you by email or through the portal before it takes effect. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept the updated terms.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [STATE / JURISDICTION], without regard to conflict-of-law principles. [CONFIRM: whether you want a venue clause, arbitration clause, or class-action waiver. These have significant consequences and specific drafting requirements. Decide with counsel.]
