Billing, Cancellation and Refunds

(a)   Billing

When subscribing, you will need to provide us with your name, email address, and billing and shipping addresses, as well as your credit card information. You agree to pay the applicable subscription fee as set forth on this site. Sales taxes may be charged in addition to the subscription fee. BY PLACING YOUR ORDER, YOU PROVIDE YOUR ELECTRONIC AUTHORIZATION FOR FUTURE CHARGES AGAINST YOUR CREDIT CARD ON FILE UNLESS YOU CANCEL.

You certify that all information you provide is accurate. You also agree to maintain and update your information as necessary so that it remains accurate and current. In the event that any information you provide is inaccurate or not up to date, Porter & Co. reserves the right to cancel your subscription.

We reserve the right to refuse or discontinue a Service to any user at any time at our sole discretion.

(b)   Cancellation

Your membership will automatically renew at the then-current rate, until you notify us of your decision to terminate your membership. Most subscriptions will renew for one-year terms, regardless of the offer under which the subscription was initiated. For subscription terms greater than three months we will email you about the length and price for your renewal before we charge you. Monthly subscription terms will be notified annually regarding future renewals. If you would like to turn off automatic renewal, or extend your subscription for additional years, please contact Member Support. BY ALLOWING FOR YOUR RENEWAL, YOU PROVIDE YOUR ELECTRONIC AUTHORIZATION FOR FUTURE CHARGES AGAINST YOUR CREDIT CARD ON FILE OR APPLE PAY. Accordingly, you agree that your membership fee or subscription will be billed automatically at the beginning of each renewal period at the then-current rate (plus sales tax, if applicable) to the credit card you used in your most recent transaction with us. Any subscription purchased using Apple Pay will continue to renew on Apple Pay.

Porter & Co. reserves the right to increase a Service’s fees or institute new charges upon reasonable notice. Service fees are due in advance.

(c)   Refunds

All refund policies will be explicit on all order forms and order confirmations.  We ask that you carefully consider whether you want to subscribe to our Services, and that once you do, you honor your obligation to pay.  We will consider refund requests on a case-by-case basis, but refunds are generally disfavored.

Not an Investment Adviser – No Personalized Advice – Disclaimer

Porter & Co. is not an investment adviser. We rely on the publisher’s exclusion from the definition of an investment adviser under Section 202 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.  What that means is that Porter & Co. is a publisher only, and while we write about stocks, the stock market, businesses, and investing research, we do not provide personal or individual investment advice.

Porter & Co. does not, indeed cannot, ascertain what investments may be suitable for any individual investor.  We do not know you and we cannot give you advice. You therefore agree, in subscribing and using our Services, that any recommendation we make does not constitute a recommendation that any security or strategy is suitable for you.  If you desire personalized investing advice, you should engage a registered investment adviser.

Only you can decide whether a particular security is right for you.  You therefore agree to be solely and individually liable for any trades in which you engage using information or recommendations you learn from us.
