1. General Information Only
The information on the Self-Directed Plans websites, mobile applications, and related materials (the “Sites”) is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not tailored to any particular person, account, or transaction and should not be relied upon as a recommendation to establish a plan, make an investment, or take any action affecting your retirement savings.
2. No Investment, Tax, or Legal Advice
Self-Directed Plans does not provide investment, tax, legal, or accounting advice. We do not evaluate, recommend, endorse, or perform due diligence on any investment, sponsor, or asset. Please consult your own attorney, CPA, tax adviser, or licensed investment professional before making decisions about your retirement plan.
3. Our Role and Third-Party Providers
Self-Directed Plans, LLC provides administrative and document preparation services. We are not a fiduciary with respect to your plan and do not exercise discretion or control over plan assets. If your plan requires a third-party custodian or service provider, they are independent of Self-Directed Plans and governed by their own agreements and policies.
4. Alternative Investments Carry Risk
Alternative assets (e.g., real estate, private notes, digital assets) involve risks that differ from publicly traded securities, including potential illiquidity, lack of regulatory oversight, and total loss of investment. Past performance is not indicative of future results. References to any investment or sponsor are for illustration only and do not constitute an endorsement.
5. Account Holder Responsibility
Self-directed retirement plans are subject to Internal Revenue Code rules. Violations can result in taxes, penalties, or plan disqualification. Responsibility for compliance rests entirely with the account holder and the plan’s trustee. Self-Directed Plans does not monitor or approve transactions for compliance.
6. Referral Compensation
We may recommend third-party vendors, such as partner banks, custodians, lenders, or insurance brokers, to help facilitate your plan. Self-Directed Plans may receive referral fees, commissions, or revenue-sharing compensation from these vendors. You are under no obligation to use any recommended vendor and should independently evaluate their suitability prior to engagement. We do not receive compensation for referring you to specific investments.
7. Co-Marketing and Third-Party Offerings
Self-Directed Plans occasionally engages in co-marketing activities, joint webinars, or shared educational content with third parties, including investment sponsors, CPAs, or other service providers. Our participation in these activities does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or approval of the third party or their services. We have not performed due diligence on these providers or their specific offerings. You are solely responsible for evaluating the suitability, credentials, and risks of any professional or investment sponsor before engaging them.
8. Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Self-Directed Plans utilizes AI technologies to enhance our services and content delivery. All content published on our Sites undergoes review by a human expert prior to publication.
Our customer-facing “Knowledge Base Assistant” is an AI-powered agent designed to help you search and surface relevant articles. The Assistant generates brief summaries of information, which are clearly flagged as AI-generated, and defers to our vetted source articles for comprehensive details.
9. Accuracy and Links
While we strive for accuracy, tax laws and regulations change, and content may become outdated. We make no warranty as to the completeness or currency of any material on the Sites. We are not responsible for the content or practices of any linked third-party websites.
