Terms of Service
These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of BROK's website and services. By accessing or using our site you agree to these terms and any policies referenced here. Please read them carefully. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use our services. We reserve the right to update these terms when necessary; material changes will be posted and, where appropriate, notified to registered users. Our services include public broker comparison pages, subscription or enterprise benchmarking services, and communication channels for inquiries, proposals, and support. For personalized services or commercial engagements, separate agreements may apply and will take precedence over these site-level terms when signed by both parties. These Terms set expectations for acceptable use, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and governing law. They also explain how to contact BROK for questions, dispute resolution, and data-related requests. Using our forms or requesting proposals constitutes acceptance of these terms for the associated engagement.
Access, accounts and permitted use
BROK provides informational content and comparison tools to assist users in evaluating brokerage services. Access to public pages is free and does not require an account, although some features, downloads, or enterprise services may require registration or a subscription. When you register, you must provide accurate contact information and maintain its accuracy. Account credentials are personal and non-transferable; you are responsible for all activity under your account. You agree not to reproduce, scrape, republish, redistribute, or otherwise exploit the site content for commercial use without express written permission. Automated access or the use of bots to extract data is prohibited unless expressly authorized in writing. Use of our site for unlawful activity, attempts to compromise security, or actions that degrade service availability will result in suspension or termination of access. For enterprise engagements, additional procurement or service terms may apply and will be provided in the proposal or statement of work. If you host content or provide feedback, you grant BROK a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use that content to provide and improve services, subject to our privacy practices described in the Privacy Policy.
Content, data accuracy and intellectual property
All site content including analysis, scores, reports, graphics, and textual material is owned by BROK or used with permission. BROK trademarks and trade dress are protected and may not be used without our consent. We strive for accuracy in our broker profiles and comparison metrics using documented sources and controlled testing when possible, but we cannot guarantee completeness or that every data point remains current between updates. Users should treat our content as research and not as a substitute for independent verification of broker disclosures or regulatory records. You may view and download content for personal, non-commercial use provided you retain all copyright and other proprietary notices. Republishing or creating derivative works for distribution requires written permission. For subscribers and clients, licensed deliverables are subject to the license terms in the applicable service agreement. If you believe content on the site infringes your intellectual property, contact our legal team at [email protected] with a detailed notice so we may address the concern promptly. We will investigate and act in accordance with applicable law and our policies.
Disclaimers, no investment advice and limitation of liability
BROK's content is research-focused and provided for informational purposes only. It does not constitute investment advice, financial, tax, legal, or other professional advice. Nothing on the site constitutes an offer, solicitation, or recommendation to buy or sell securities, derivatives, or other instruments. Users must perform their own due diligence and consult appropriate professional advisors before making financial decisions. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BROK DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. BROK DOES NOT WARRANT THAT OUR SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE. IN NO EVENT SHALL BROK, ITS AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR RELIANCE ON SITE CONTENT. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR DIRECT DAMAGES IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE APPLICABLE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS (USD 100) IF YOU DID NOT PURCHASE A SERVICE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY, SO THESE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU IN FULL. THIS SECTION SURVIVES TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS.
Governing law, dispute resolution and changes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising from or related to these Terms or your use of BROK will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and you submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts, unless a written service agreement between you and BROK provides for alternative dispute resolution. We may update these Terms periodically to reflect changes in law, our services, or operational needs. When we make material changes, we will post a prominent notice on the site and, for registered users, provide notification by email when feasible. Continued use of the site after changes indicates acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not accept the updated Terms, you should stop using the services and contact us regarding any active engagements. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be severed while the remainder remains in effect.
