- Advisor Services. An Advisor who has an active FamilyArc Subscription can view and maintain certain information within the Portal on behalf of the Advisor’s clients. Through the Portal, each Advisor can invite clients to register for a complimentary FamilyArc Subscription. Upon registration, the client, now a Client User, receives a FamilyArc Subscription. The Client User may invite his or her network of authenticators, notifiers, and recipients to register for a complimentary FamilyArc Subscription as well, and if any such person does register for a FamilyArc Subscription, they will be considered a Client User for purposes of this User Agreement. Note that FamilyArc may, at any time, cap or change the number of Client Users that may be associated with an Advisor on the Portal.
- Referral Fees. Advisor, or the Advisor that provided an Advisor’s FamilyArc Subscription, may be eligible for Referral Fees when an associated Client User purchases Marketplace Products. Referral fees are earned only on the Marketplace Products for which the Client User has actually paid. FamilyArc may change the Referral Fee schedule at any time with or without prior notice, by posting a revised Referral Fee schedule. Any such change will apply to Referral Fees for Marketplace Products purchased after the effective date of such change. If applicable, FamilyArc may pay Referral Fees earned by the Advisor to the Advisor associated with the Advisor’s FamilyArc Subscription. FamilyArc has no control over, and bears no responsibility for, the amount of the Referral Fee, if any, the Advisor pays to Advisor. Advisors are not entitled to Referral Fees related to Marketplace Products for which FamilyArc receives payment after the termination of the Advisor’s FamilyArc Subscription.

The Advisor agrees, on his or her own behalf and on behalf of Advisor’s associated clients, to accept emails from FamilyArc at the provided email addresses. FamilyArc may provide notices, statements, and other communications to the Advisor or Advisor’s clients through either email, posting on the Portal (or other electronic transmission) or, for the Advisor, by mail or express delivery service.
