Terms of Use & Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 5, 2025
Affiliate Disclosure
The short version: We make money when you click our links and open brokerage accounts. This doesn't cost you anything extra.
SideBySide Brokers is an independently-owned website. Some of the links on this site are affiliate links, meaning we may receive a commission if you click through and open an account with a broker or financial service provider.
This compensation helps us keep the site running, pay for research, and continue producing free content. It does not influence our reviews, rankings, or recommendations.
Our Promises to You
We only feature brokers we'd consider using ourselves
Affiliate relationships never affect our rankings or ratings
We disclose pros AND cons — even for affiliate partners
You often get the same (or better) bonuses through our links
Terms of Use
This Is Not Financial Advice
The content on SideBySide Brokers is for informational and educational purposes only. We are not registered investment advisors, financial planners, or brokers. Nothing on this site constitutes a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any investment.
Your Responsibility
All investment decisions are yours. Before opening any brokerage account or making any investment, you should:
- • Do your own research beyond what we provide
- • Consider your personal financial situation and goals
- • Consult a qualified financial advisor if needed
- • Read the broker's terms, disclosures, and fee schedules directly
We try hard to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but brokers change their offers, fees, and terms frequently. Always verify details on the broker's official website before making decisions.
Accuracy of Information
We research and verify information directly from broker websites, regulatory filings, and official sources. However:
- • Promotional offers can change or expire without notice
- • Fees and rates are subject to change
- • We may occasionally make errors (we're human)
- • Information may become outdated between our updates
Third-Party Links
Our site contains links to third-party websites (brokers, financial services, etc.). We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of these external sites. Once you leave SideBySide Brokers, you're subject to their terms and policies.
Investment Risks
Investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Different investments have different risk profiles. Options, margin trading, and day trading involve substantial risk and are not suitable for all investors. Cryptocurrency is highly volatile and speculative. Make sure you understand the risks before investing.
Limitation of Liability
SideBySide Brokers and its owners shall not be liable for any losses, damages, or costs arising from your use of this website or reliance on information provided here. This includes, but is not limited to, investment losses, trading losses, or decisions made based on our content.
Intellectual Property
All content on this site — including text, graphics, logos, and data compilations — is the property of SideBySide Brokers unless otherwise noted. You may not reproduce, distribute, or republish our content without written permission.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms. Check back periodically for updates.
