General Disclaimer — All Account Types and Jurisdictions
Note on Data Access and Investor Eligibility
The Pyrite platform aggregates and presents data sourced from multiple third-party data providers. A number of those providers license their data under contractual terms that restrict end-user access to persons who satisfy defined investor eligibility standards under U.S. securities law - specifically, Accredited Investors as defined under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, and Qualified Purchasers as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
To comply with those licensing obligations, access to the full Pyrite fund universe - including individually identified fund records, fund-level analytics, and related data - requires prior investor certification by the user notwithstanding that this Platform is for informational purposes only and is not intended nor does it provide any investment advice. The information provided herein is for general informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation regarding any security, investment product or investment strategy. This requirement applies when users upgrade to a Full Access account (Track C).
- Users who hold a Demo account (Track A) or a Money Manager account (Track B) access only anonymized demonstration data and their own uploaded funds, which are not subject to those licensing restrictions. No investor certification is required under this Part I disclaimer.
- Full Access users in the United States must also acknowledge the Part II disclaimer (United States), which sets out the applicable investor eligibility requirements and jurisdiction-specific terms. See Pyrite Platform Disclaimer — Part II (United States).
Users outside of the United States (UK, Canada, or other jurisdictions) are subject to separate disclaimers (parts III, IV and V).
