Such projected performance is subject to a number of limitations and assumptions designed to determine the probability or likelihood of a particular investment outcome based on a range of possible outcomes. It is possible that any of those assumptions, may prove not to be accurate. In addition, performance of a suggested strategy and program may differ materially from investment gains projected, described, or otherwise referenced in forward-looking statements. In addition, SAVE may revise the strategies, investment classes and underlyings and while SAVE will concurrently update the hypothetical back tested performances, prior hypothetical back tested performances may no longer reflect these revisions.
There is no guarantee that any particular SAVE advisory program will meet your investment objectives or provide you with a given level of income. Investing entails risk and there is no assurance that the investment will provide positive performance over any period of time. Please read SAVE’s Form ADV Part 2 (Brochure) carefully prior to becoming a client.

16. Identification Notice (USA PATRIOT ACT).
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.
This means that when you open an account or use our services, we will ask for your name, physical address, date of birth, social security number, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see other identifying documents such as driver's license or other documents that validate your identity or may use other means to verify your identity.
Even if you have been an existing customer of ours, we may ask you to provide this kind of information and documentation because we may not have collected it from you in the past or we may need to update our records.
If, for any reason, any owner is unable to provide the information necessary to verify their identity, your account(s) may not be opened, may be blocked or closed.
You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all information supplied to us in connection with your account and/or account services and for keeping your personal data with us updated if you move or otherwise make changes to your personal data.

18. Funds Transfer Service.
“Funds Transfer” is an electronic transfer service provided by Save that enables you to securely transfer funds from an account at another financial institution to your deposit account held at Webster Bank, and/or from your account with Webster Bank to an account at another financial institution. Prior to use, you are required to register your external bank account for verification and security purposes. Once your Funds Transfer service is active, please refer to the Funds Availability schedule to see when your Funds will be available for your use in your account. In all cases, funds may be held until we receive verification that the transaction has settled.
By using the Funds Transfer service, you agree that Save will transfer funds through ACH services and that the transaction is subject to completion upon our final review and verification. You agree that such requests constitute authorization for such transfers.
This authorization is to remain in full force until the Save has received written notification from you of its termination, you have electronically deleted a registered bank account from the Funds Transfer service, or you have electronically canceled an account and/or transfers from the Funds Transfer service in such time and in such manner as to afford Save and the other financial institution a reasonable opportunity to act on it.
This service may not be available for all customers and/or account types. Please review our Funds Transfer FAQs for information on availability.
By using the Funds Transfer service, you are certifying that the registered external accounts that you transfer funds to and from are under the same ownership as the account with us. In the event that the accounts are not titled the same or ownership among the transferring accounts changes, you will indemnify us for any losses incurred as a result of any transaction you initiate between these accounts that is later returned or is reported unauthorized. If you initiate a transfer that is found to be unverifiable or is unable to be completed for other reasons, you agree to hold us harmless for any loss resulting from the incomplete transfer. If a transfer is made from a third-party’s account or registered as an external deposit account, before we detect it, we may without notice to you, place those funds on hold and debit your account, and return the funds to the third party's account in the form of a bank check or funds transfer, once we have confirmed the funds cleared the external account.
If you use the Funds Transfer service to transfer funds to or from an account that has multiple owners, you agree that each owner authorizes the others to (a) initiate the transfer of funds between your accounts with us, as permitted by the Funds Transfer service, (b) register any external bank account , as permitted by the Funds Transfer service, and (c) initiate the transfer of funds between your account(s) with us and any registered external bank account . This authority will cease only after we have received and have been given a reasonable amount of time to act on the appropriate documentation needed to change or remove the owner from the account. Each account owner agrees to be jointly and severally liable to Save for any losses incurred as a result of the improper use of this service up to and including the transfer amount, any applicable fees and any legal expenses. Your Funds Transfer request will only be completed if you have sufficient funds in the account from which you wish to transfer funds and the accounts are linked for transfer capabilities. Funds Transfer transactions are subject to dollar amount limitations, which are determined by us and may be set according to your Account type and/or the type of Funds Transfer service you are using. These limitations are set for security reasons and are not disclosed for that reason.
Save reserves the right to limit the number of external accounts that can be linked to your account for purposes of transferring funds; to limit functionality of the Funds Transfer service by imposing limits, holds, or other measures; and to close your account if unlawful activity is found or suspected.
