Effective date: January 1, 2026
Terms of service
Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using myriaregistration.com or engaging My RIA Registration ("we," "us," or "our") for any services. By accessing our website or entering into a service engagement with us, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Services
My RIA Registration provides RIA registration assistance and compliance consulting services to investment advisers and prospective investment advisers ("clients"). Our services may include, but are not limited to:
- SEC and state RIA registration assistance
- Form ADV drafting and filing
- Compliance manual preparation
- Client agreement and disclosure document preparation
- Ongoing compliance consulting on a subscription basis
- Annual compliance program reviews
- Compliance training and mock audit services
- Advertising and marketing material review
The specific scope of services for each engagement will be set forth in a separate engagement agreement or statement of work agreed upon by both parties.
2. Not legal advice
My RIA Registration is a compliance consulting firm and is not a law firm. The services we provide do not constitute legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is formed through your use of our website or our services. We strongly recommend that you consult with qualified legal counsel for advice specific to your legal situation. Nothing on our website or in our deliverables should be construed as legal advice.
3. Not investment advice
Nothing on our website or in our services constitutes investment advice, an offer to buy or sell securities, or a recommendation of any investment product or strategy. Our services are limited to regulatory compliance consulting.
4. Client responsibilities
Clients are responsible for:
- Providing accurate, complete, and timely information necessary for us to perform services
- Reviewing and approving all documents and filings before submission
- Making all final decisions regarding regulatory filings and compliance program implementation
- Maintaining their own compliance program and ensuring ongoing regulatory compliance
- Promptly notifying us of any material changes to their business that may affect their compliance obligations
We are not responsible for errors, omissions, or regulatory issues arising from inaccurate or incomplete information provided by the client, or from the client's failure to implement our recommendations.
5. Fees and payment
Registration services
RIA registration services are provided for a flat fee agreed upon at the outset of the engagement. The flat fee is due as specified in your engagement agreement. Fees are non-refundable once work has commenced unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Subscription services
Ongoing compliance consulting services are billed on a monthly subscription basis. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled with at least 30 days' written notice prior to the next billing date. Fees are billed in advance at the beginning of each billing period.
Late payments
Invoices not paid within 15 days of the due date may be subject to a late payment fee of 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less. We reserve the right to suspend services for accounts with outstanding balances.
6. Cancellation and termination
Either party may terminate an ongoing service engagement with 30 days' written notice. Upon termination, you are responsible for fees incurred through the termination date. We reserve the right to terminate services immediately for non-payment, breach of these Terms, or conduct that we reasonably determine to be unlawful or harmful.
For registration engagements, termination prior to completion does not entitle the client to a refund of fees paid, as substantial work is performed in advance of filing.
7. Confidentiality
We treat all client information as confidential. We will not disclose your confidential business information to third parties except as necessary to perform our services, as required by law or regulation, or with your express written consent. We may disclose information if required by a court order, regulatory authority, or other legal process.
You agree to keep confidential any proprietary processes, templates, or methodologies we share with you in the course of our engagement.
8. Intellectual property
Upon full payment of all applicable fees, you own the final deliverables we prepare specifically for your engagement, including your Form ADV, compliance manual, and client agreements. However, we retain ownership of all underlying templates, frameworks, methodologies, and general compliance tools we use in preparing your deliverables. Nothing in these Terms grants you a license to resell, sublicense, or distribute our templates or proprietary materials.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, My RIA Registration's total liability to you for any claims arising out of or related to our services shall not exceed the total fees paid by you to us in the three months preceding the claim.
In no event shall My RIA Registration be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, or loss of business, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
We are not responsible for regulatory actions, examination findings, fines, or penalties imposed by the SEC, state securities regulators, or any other regulatory body, regardless of whether such actions relate to services we provided.
10. Disclaimer of warranties
Our services and website are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that our services will result in regulatory approval, that your registration application will be accepted, or that your compliance program will satisfy all regulatory requirements. Regulatory outcomes depend on factors outside our control.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless My RIA Registration and its principals, employees, and contractors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your breach of these Terms; (b) inaccurate or incomplete information you provided to us; (c) your failure to implement our recommendations; or (d) your violation of any applicable law or regulation.
12. Governing law and dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or our services shall first be subject to good-faith negotiation between the parties. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Arizona in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
