Terms of Use
Last revised: February 15, 2024
Welcome to the Financial Fitness Site (the “FFG Site”), formerly operated by Precision Information, LLC d/b/a Financial Fitness Group and now operated by iGrad, LLC ("iGrad", "we", "our" or "us") and located at financialfitness.center and its related subdomains or such other domains or sites that link to these Terms of Use ("TOU"). The FFG Site, and the related content, applications, tools, and services that we offer through the FFG Site, are referred to collectively as the “FFG Services”.
In order to use the FFG Services, you must be an authorized user of an entity, such as an employer or financial institution, including credit unions and banks, that has acquired a subscription from us for use of the FFG Services by its authorized users. In this TOU we refer to such entities as “Subscribers.” These TOU are entered into by and between you and iGrad, and your use of the FFG Services is subject to these Terms of Use (these “TOU”). By accessing and using the FFG Services, you represent and warrant that you are an authorized user of a Subscriber and you accept and agree to be bound by these TOU. If you are not a Subscriber or an authorized user of a Subscriber or do not wish to be bound by these TOU, you may not register with us or access or use the FFG Services. You may not use the FFG Services if you are under 13 years old. If you are 13 years or older but under the age of majority in your jurisdiction required to form a binding contract, you may use the FFG Services only with the express written consent of your parent or legal guardian to use the FFG Services and to accept these TOU.
Please also be aware that we may change these TOU at any time, and those changes will become effective immediately upon our posting them on the FFG Site or our other notice of such changes to you. Your continued use of FFG Services after our posting of modified TOU or of other notice of changes means that you accept the modified TOU.
Likely, when you first accessed the FFG Site, you did so through a link provided by a Subscriber site. The FFG Site, however, is a separately owned and operated website, distinct from any third-party website or service including those of our Subscribers. As iGrad does not own or control the websites, applications, or services of our Subscribers, these TOU apply only to the FFG Services and not to any third party website, application, or service, which are subject to their own terms and conditions. Similarly, the FFG Services may contain links to other sites, applications or services that have their own terms and conditions. We encourage users to be aware when they leave the FFG Services and to read the terms and conditions applicable to such other sites, applications, and services. iGrad takes no responsibility and expressly disclaims all liability for any such third-party sites, applications, or services.
