- The statement about financial advice law now matches every other page word for word.
- Every section has its own link.
1. Information only — not financial advice #
AetherForge AI provides general market information, data and AI-generated analysis for educational and informational purposes only. General information only, not financial advice. FORGE INTELLIGENCE LIMITED is not a licensed financial advice provider. It does not take into account your particular financial situation, objectives, risk tolerance or needs.
AetherForge AI (FORGE INTELLIGENCE LIMITED) is not a licensed financial advice provider under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (New Zealand) and does not hold a financial advice provider licence issued by the Financial Markets Authority (FMA). Nothing on this Service should be interpreted as a recommendation, opinion or guidance intended to influence you in making a decision about a financial product, as those terms are used in New Zealand law.
2. Seek licensed advice #
Before making any investment or financial decision, you should seek advice from a licensed financial adviser who can consider your personal circumstances. You may also wish to consult a licensed tax adviser or accountant. You can check whether a person or firm is licensed on the FMA website at www.fma.govt.nz.
3. How our AI works and its limitations #
Scores and projected ranges are calculated by a rules-based technical-analysis engine. AI writes the plain-English note that explains those calculated figures. Plain-English notes are written by a third-party AI service, xAI (Grok), through its API. xAI's API terms state that API requests and responses are kept for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring, then deleted, and are not used to train its models. AI notes have important limitations you must understand:
- AI can produce inaccurate, incomplete or misleading output (sometimes called "hallucinations") that appears confident but is wrong.
- Predictions, projections, pathways and momentum graphs are estimates and probabilistic scenarios — not statements of fact or guarantees of future results.
- Market data used by the Service is real public data from third parties. It is delayed, shown with its as-of time where available, and may contain errors.
- Paper trades on AetherForge are simulated records you enter. No real orders are placed and no money moves.
- Crypto projections are currently paused.
- AI output does not reflect real-time execution prices, fees, spreads, tax or slippage.
You should independently verify any information before relying on it, and treat all AI output with appropriate professional scepticism.
4. No guarantee of performance #
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Investing in shares, digital assets and other financial products involves risk, including the risk of losing some or all of your capital. Digital assets in particular are highly volatile and may not be regulated in the same way as traditional financial products. AetherForge AI does not guarantee any outcome, return or level of performance.
5. Your responsibility #
Any decision you make using information from AetherForge AI is made solely at your own risk and discretion. You are responsible for your own investment decisions and for ensuring they are appropriate for your circumstances. To the maximum extent permitted by law, AetherForge AI accepts no liability for any loss or damage arising from your reliance on AI-generated content or any other information provided by the Service. This section is subject to your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and other New Zealand law that cannot be excluded.
6. No fiduciary relationship #
Using the Service does not create any advisory, fiduciary or professional relationship between you and AetherForge AI. We do not act as your broker, adviser, custodian or agent, and we do not manage money or hold client funds.
7. Third-party content #
The Service may reference or incorporate data, news and content from third parties. We do not endorse or guarantee the accuracy of third-party content, and we are not responsible for it.
8. Questions #
If you have any questions about this disclaimer, email admin@aetherforgeai.co.nz or use the contact form on the Contact page. By continuing to use AetherForge AI you acknowledge that you have read and understood this disclaimer.
