1. INTRODUCTION

This Terms of Use & Disclaimer Agreement (“Agreement”) governs your access to and use of the websites, educational programs, online communities, newsletters, and other services operated by Stock Market Scouts, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“Stock Market Scouts,” “SMS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing or using any of our websites, applications, membership platforms, digital content, or subscribing to The Scouting Reports newsletter (collectively, the “Services”), you agree to be bound by this Agreement and our Privacy Policy.

Stock Market Scouts provides educational programs, digital courses, community discussions, market insights, and newsletter communications.

SMS is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, or financial institution.
No content distributed through the Services — including The Scouting Reports, social content, learning materials, or reports — should be interpreted as personalized investment advice, recommendation, or solicitation to buy or sell any security or financial instrument.

All information is provided solely for educational and informational purposes.
You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for your own investment or trading decisions and agree to consult qualified professionals before acting on any information obtained through the Services.

4. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES

SMS may modify or update this Agreement at any time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated “Effective Date” and, where appropriate, communicated via email, website notice, or newsletter.

Continued use of any Service, including receipt of The Scouting Reports, after notice of changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
SMS may modify, suspend, or discontinue any Service or feature without notice.
