You acknowledge that all copyright, design right and all other intellectual property rights in all Programme materials (including but not limited to any drafts, drawings, PowerPoints, PDFs, spreadsheets, or illustrations We make in connection with such materials) are owned by Us or Our licensors.
6.7 Disclaimers
By accessing the on-line or printed learning materials, or on-line forums, or support emails, or attending video or live support meetings you are acknowledging and accepting the following important disclaimers about the services we provide.
1. Third Friday Ltd is a training company and the FIRE Revolution programme that we teach is concerned only with educating clients to use several defined investment strategies. WE ARE NOT REGULATED BY THE FINANCIAL CONDUCT AUTHORITY OR THE PRUDENTIAL REGULATION AUTHORITY AND ARE NOT INVOLVED IN ARRANGING OR ADVISING ON ANY FINANCE, INVESTEMENTS OR LOANS.
2. You acknowledge that We do not (nor any trainer, mentor, consultant, team member, agent or employee who is providing a course, mentoring or other training or any of the other clients with whom you may interact) provide financial, investment, legal or accounting advice. We are not authorised by the FCA or other body to do so and as such this does not form part of the Programme or the contract between Us. Any investment examples used in the programme should not in any way be construed as advice or a recommendation to trade. They are included for educational purposes only.
3. Furthermore, we make no guarantee, representation, warranty or promise of the income or returns that may be possible when the strategies taught are implemented by You. The techniques are well-known to reduce the risk associated with simply owning the underlying shares, but that risk still exists. It is quite possible that you could lose more money than you invest, and You fully acknowledge this fact when joining the programme.
4. You further acknowledge that the opinions and comments made by trainers, consultants, mentors, and fellow clients (whether employed by Us or not) are their own and do not represent or reflect Our opinions or comments. You acknowledge that any
© Copyright 2022 www.fire-revolution.co.uk (Version 1.1) Page 4
opinions or comments are interpreted at your own risk. You agree not to hold Us responsible for any such opinions or claims.
5. You agree that you will only invest money that you are prepared to lose and all trading decisions that you make are your own decision. Third Friday Ltd are an educational company only and accept no responsibility for your investments.
6. It is quite possible that your investments will lose money and you fully accept this risk and understand that the specific investments you make are in no way advised or suggested by Third Friday ltd.
7. You are 100% liable for any losses made whilst implementing the strategies we teach.
8. Investing in foreign shares and options subjects the investor to exchange rate risk. You agree that you fully understand this additional risk if applying the strategy in any country other than your home one.
9. Please make sure you fully understand all the risks before placing any trade. Third Friday are not responsible for your trades. If in any doubt, do not place the trade.
10. Past performance and forecasts are not reliable indicators of future results.
11. Bid ask spreads, commissions, slippage, stamp duty and other costs will all have an effect on the illustrative trade examples that we use.
12. Options trading may not be suitable for all investors. Please ensure that you fully understand the process and risks before committing your own money.
13. There is no guarantee that dividends will be paid.
14. All information provided on the website, in courses, posts, blogs and the like are believed to be accurate and obtained from reliable sources where appropriate. Third Friday make no guarantees as to its accuracy or reliability.
15. Always seek independent professional advice if you are unsure as to suitability of any investment.
16. Third Friday do not accept any responsibility for any typographical errors, calculation errors, verbal errors, omissions, or mistakes in any of the content (including the supplied spreadsheets). You are responsible for double checking any calculations if you are relying on them for trading.
17. Options are leveraged products and certain types of trades can subject the investor to losses larger than a traders account. The FIRE Revolution strategy taught by Third Friday avoids this risk by specifically stating that only cash-secured puts and covered calls should be sold.
18. Third Friday Ltd do not accept any responsibility if, for any reason, you are unable to open a suitable brokers account to execute the strategies that we teach. The brokers
© Copyright 2022 www.fire-revolution.co.uk (Version 1.1) Page 5
we refer to in the course are not recommendations and are completely independent from Third Friday Ltd and their decisions and policies are out of our control. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet the criteria they require to open a live trading account.
19. Third Friday Ltd make no guarantees that suitable investment opportunities will always exist that match the criteria taught in the programme. There will be times when the market is not suitable for investing in and you should realise and accept that that possibility exists. This is especially relevant for smaller accounts where the choice of shares to invest in will be restricted.
6.8 What will happen if you do not give required information to Us? We may need certain information from you so that We can supply the Programme(s) to you. If so, this will have been stated on Our website. We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give Us this information within a reasonable time of Us asking for it, or if you give Us incomplete or incorrect information, We may either end the contract or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate Us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving Us the information, We need within a reasonable time of Us asking for it.
7. FAILURE TO ATTEND
1. If you fail to attend or access a Programme but have not varied your Booking in accordance with clause 4, you will forfeit any amounts that you have paid for that Programme. This covers the cost we have incurred in organising your Booking and attendance at the Programme. You will not receive any credits for a Programme that has been paid for but for which you do not attend. You acknowledge that this clause does not work harshly on you.
8. YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
1. You can always end your contract with Us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have booked, whether there is anything wrong, how We are performing and when you decide to end the contract:
1) If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 9;
2) If you want to end the contract because of something We have done or have told you We are going to do, see clause 8.2; or
3) If you have just changed your mind, you may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions.
2. Ending the contract because of something We have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at 1 to 4 below, the contract will end immediately, and We will refund you in full for any Programmes which have not been provided. The reasons are:
© Copyright 2022 www.fire-revolution.co.uk (Version 1.1) Page 6
1) We have told you about an upcoming change which you do not agree to;
2) We have told you about an error in the price or description of the Programme and you do not wish to proceed;
3) there is a risk that supply of the Programme or any Product(s) may be significantly delayed because of events outside Our control; or
4) you have a legal right to end the contract because of something We have done wrong.
3. Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.
4. When you don't have the right to change your mind. You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:
1) digital products after you have started to download or stream these;
2) services (including Programmes), once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running;
3) sealed audio or sealed video recordings or sealed computer software, once these products are unsealed after you receive them; and
4) any Products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
5. How long do I have to change my mind? How long you have depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered.
1) Have you purchased services (for example, Programmes)? If so, you have 14 days after the day We email you to confirm We accept your Booking. However, once You have completed the Programme you cannot change your mind, even if the period is still running. If you cancel after We have started the Programme, you must pay Us for services provided up until the time you tell Us that you have changed your mind.
2) Have you bought digital content for download or streaming? if so, you have 14 days after the day We email you to confirm We accept your Booking, or, if earlier, until you start downloading or streaming. If We delivered the digital content to you immediately, and you agreed to this when ordering, you will not have a right to change your mind.
6. Tell Us you want to end the contract. To end the contract with Us, please let Us know by emailing Us at [email protected]. Please provide your name, home address, details of the Booking and, where available, your phone number and email address.
7. How We will refund you. We will refund you the price you paid for the Products and any Programme(s) including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, We may make deductions from the price, as described below.
© Copyright 2022 www.fire-revolution.co.uk (Version 1.1) Page 7
8. Deductions from refunds. If you are exercising your right to change your mind:
1) We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If We refund you the price paid before We are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay Us an appropriate amount.
2) The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method We offer. For example, if We offer delivery of a Product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the Product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then We will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
3) Where the Product is a service, We may deduct from any refund an amount for the supply of the service for the period for which it was supplied, ending with the time when you told Us you had changed your mind. The amount will be in proportion to what has been supplied, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.
9. When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind, then your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling Us you have changed your mind.
10. We may end the contract if you break it. We may end the contract at any time by writing to you if:
1) you do not make any payment to Us when it is due, and you still do not make payment within 7 days of Us reminding you that payment is due;
2) you do not, within a reasonable time of Us asking for it, provide Us with information that is necessary for Us to provide the Product(s) or Programme(s);
11. You must compensate Us if you break the contract. If We end the contract We will refund any money you have paid in advance for products or Programmes We have not provided but We may deduct or charge you a proportion of the price based on our current charging rates depending on the date on which We end the contract, as compensation for the net costs We will incur as a result of your breaking the contract.
9. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM
1. How to tell Us about problems. If you have any questions or complaints about the Product, please contact Us. You can telephone Us at 07989 799917 or write to Us at [email protected] or Third Friday Ltd, 4 Lands Lane, Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, HG5 9DE

Your rights to a refund on cancellation are set out in clause 8.

We will normally check prices before accepting your booking so that, where the Product's correct price at your Booking date is less than Our stated price at your Booking date, We will charge the lower amount. If the correct price at your Booking date is higher than the price stated in Our price list, We will contact you for your instructions before We accept your Booking. If We accept and process your Booking where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, We may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.
