Sales tax is generally calculated on the total selling price of each item. Depending upon the state’s tax laws, the total selling price of the item may include shipping and handling charges.

Although tax is not required to be collected in states where Today’s Tech FWD is not registered, this does not necessarily mean the transaction is not subject to sales tax.  Purchases may be subject to use tax which must be remitted directly to the state by the customer purchasing the item. Purchases are not exempt from sales tax solely because they are purchased on the internet, by catalog or by other remote means.

Please contact the tax authorities in your state for additional information about your responsibilities for remitting use tax.  Links to all the states’ tax administrative agencies can be found at https://www.taxadmin.org/state-tax-agencies .

Please note that amount of estimated tax appearing on an order may differ from the sales taxes ultimately charged at the time of credit card authorization.

A sales tax rate calculator can accessed from http://thestc.com/ . You should use the Use Tax rate when calculating the tax to include on your order payment.

If you are unsure if the product you are purchasing is taxable, please contact Customer Service at (844)-731-0984 and specify you are ordering by check and need to determine tax.  A qualified Today’s Tech FWD Customer Service agent is available to quickly and easily assist.

Once you have determined the correct tax associated with your order follow the instructions and mail the order form and check to the associated Today’s Tech FWD address.

Any dispute relating in any way to your visit to or use of the Website, the Products (including the purchase or use of any Products or any other purchases made on or through the Website), or otherwise related to this Agreement or your relationship with Today’s Tech FWD (“Disputes”), shall be resolved exclusively through confidential arbitration, rather than in court, and shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement. Any question as to the validity of this arbitration agreement shall be submitted to confidential arbitration and decided by an arbitrator.

If a Dispute arises, you agree to first contact us at 410-783-8408 or legaloperations@14west.us. Before formally submitting a Dispute to arbitration, you and we may choose to informally resolve the Dispute. If any Dispute cannot be resolved informally, you agree that any and all Disputes, including the validity of this arbitration clause and class action waiver, shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration before a single arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in a location convenient to you or telephonically. Either you or we may commence the arbitration process by submitting a written demand for arbitration with the AAA, and providing a copy to the other party. We will pay the filing costs. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the AAA’s Commercial Dispute Resolutions Procedures, Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, in effect at the time of submission of the demand for arbitration. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA's site at https://www.adr.org. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration of a Dispute may be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through a class action, private attorney general proceeding, class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. You expressly agree to refrain from bringing or joining any claims in any representative or class-wide capacity, including but not limited to bringing or joining any claims in any class action or any class-wide arbitration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be subject to arbitration and may be adjudicated only in the state and federal courts of Maryland: (i) any dispute, controversy, or claim relating to or contesting the validity of our or one of our family company’s intellectual property rights and proprietary rights, including without limitation, patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, or trade secrets; (ii) an action by us for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, whether prohibitive or mandatory, or other provisional relief; (iii) any legal action by us against a non-consumer; and (iv) interactions with governmental and regulatory authorities.

The arbitrator’s award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. If an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this arbitration agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this arbitration agreement shall still apply; however, if an arbitrator or court decides that the class action waiver is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration agreement shall be null and void.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WOULD HAVE HAD A RIGHT TO LITIGATE IN A COURT, TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE YOUR CASE AND TO BE PARTY TO A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. HOWEVER, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO HAVE ANY CLAIMS DECIDED INDIVIDUALLY AND ONLY THROUGH ARBITRATION. You shall have thirty (30) days from the earliest of the date that you visit the Website or the date you purchase a Product or submit information to or through the Website to opt out of this arbitration agreement, by contacting us by email at legaloperations@14west.us. If you do not opt out by the earliest of the date that you visit the Website, or the date that you purchase a Product or submit information to us through the Website, then you are not eligible to opt out of this arbitration agreement.

At Today’s Tech FWD we appreciate the trust our readers put in us, and we are committed to earning your trust by:

Complete Transparency

We allow the editors of our publications to recommend securities that they own themselves. However, our policy prohibits editors from exiting a personal trade while the recommendation to subscribers is open. In no circumstance may an editor sell a security before our subscribers have a fair opportunity to exit. The length of time an editor must wait after subscribers have been advised to exit a play depends on the type of publication. All other employees and agents must wait 24 hours after on-line publication prior to following an initial recommendation.

Honoring our guarantees quickly and without question

We have a team of trained men and women who answer your calls. These folks are located right in our home office, in Baltimore. If you are ever not happy for any reason, call us.

Because we are publishers and not financial advisors, we do not provide personalized investment advice tailored to your personal situation. We make specific recommendations, but those should not be construed as personal investment advice. Also, please keep in mind that our Customer Service department is trained to only answer questions about your subscriptions. They cannot answer questions about our research or your investments.

Since our newsletters are public, some of the particular strategies or recommendations may not be appropriate for you.

Investing, of course, also involves risk

The amount of investment risk varies among the newsletters we publish. Some are conservative, some aggressive. Some of the investments you will see recommended in our pages will cause losses. Past results never guarantee future returns — and our work cannot be and is not guaranteed. You are responsible for your own investments. Caveat emptor applies, at all times, to the investment research we sell.

At Today’s Tech FWD, we are diligent in citing sources and checking facts. Still, we cannot guarantee that we won’t occasionally print information that is unintentionally inaccurate in some way. You should always double-check any important financial information, such as stock prices or balance sheet facts, before making final decisions. We do our absolute best to never make errors, but we are not responsible for any losses you may suffer as a result of errors.

Some of the strategies we endorse in our pages may not be legal where you live. Or they may have tax consequences that are unknown and unanticipated by our analysts. We urge all subscribers to consult with licensed brokers and asset managers for questions regarding investments.

In much of our work, we use “price limits,” which means buying a stock below a certain price, or selling it above a certain price. This information is frequently critical to our specific recommendations. Never rely on our advertisements for financial information. Always consult the most recent editions of our publications for the current status of any recommendation.

Many of our publications also contain “model” portfolios that attempt to approximate the results a subscriber may have obtained by following the strategies and the recommendations discussed in the publication. We do not make any claim that our subscribers will achieve results that are even approximate to these examples. The model portfolios serve only to track the hypothetical results of a newsletter recommendation at the time it is made, not an actual portfolio.

All of our publications are copyright protected.

We kindly ask that you not reproduce, distribute, transmit, disseminate, sell, publish, display, broadcast, circulate, photocopy, or forward any part of any of our publications, reports, emails or websites to anyone, including but not limited to: colleagues in your office; family members; or your professional representatives, such as your broker, without the express prior written consent of Today’s Tech FWD.

Software has been installed on our web servers, and will be in installed on your Internet browser when you login, that will let us know if you have shared your password with another user. Software also enables us to determine if you share our copyrighted materials via email, or if you make multiple copies of our newsletters. Any such digital proof that a subscriber has violated this user agreement will result in the immediate termination of their subscription, without a refund.

In other words, we take our copyright seriously. We will bring legal action to ensure our rights are respected by all subscribers, at all times, in all countries. The Copyright Act imposes a fine of up to $150,000 per issue for infringement — no exceptions.

We hope that you enjoy and benefit from our work, and look forward to doing business together for many years to come.
