2. Investment Disclaimer & Risk Disclosure

IMPORTANT: Please read this disclaimer carefully before using any content from Zero Noise Report.

2.1 Not Financial Advice

Zero Noise Report and its content — including newsletters, reports, analyses, model portfolios, watchlists, alerts, social media posts, and any other materials — are provided for informational and educational purposes only. Nothing in our content constitutes financial advice, investment advice, trading advice, or any other form of professional advice.

2.2 Not a Registered Investment Advisor

Zero Noise Report is NOT a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, financial analyst, or financial institution. We are not registered with the SEC, FINRA, CSA, OSC, or any financial regulatory body. Our content does not constitute a solicitation, recommendation, or offer to buy or sell any securities.

2.3 Investment Risks

All investments involve risk, including the potential loss of principal. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The sectors covered by Zero Noise Report involve companies at various stages of development, many of which are speculative and carry elevated risk.

2.4 Do Your Own Research

Before making any investment decision, conduct your own independent research and analysis, consider your individual financial circumstances, and consult with a qualified financial advisor. You are solely responsible for your own investment decisions and outcomes.

2.5 AI and Automation Disclosure

We use artificial intelligence and automation in three places, and we want you to know exactly where:

  • Research and drafting. AI helps us compress research and draft copy. The conclusions in each issue are ours, and each issue is reviewed before it is published.
  • Social posts about an issue. When an issue is published, an AI model drafts a short thread for X from the free part of that issue. The thread is posted automatically, without individual human review, and only after automated checks confirm that every figure in it appears in the issue and is attributed to the right company, that it links only to the issue, and that it contains no buy, sell or price-target language.
  • Data posts. Posts that report official economic releases (such as CPI, jobs, GDP, PCE or a change in the Federal Reserve’s target range) and our periodic sector summaries are produced automatically from fixed templates, filled with figures taken directly from the source data described in 2.9. No AI writes these figures.

Automated checks reduce errors but cannot guarantee that a summary characterises an issue perfectly, and AI-assisted material should not be treated as infallible. If something we publish is wrong, tell us at zeronoisereport@gmail.com and we will correct it.

2.6 Conflicts of Interest

Authors and affiliated individuals of Zero Noise Report may hold positions in securities mentioned in our content. We may buy or sell these securities at any time without prior notice.

2.7 Limitation of Liability

In no event shall Zero Noise Report, its owners, employees, agents, or affiliates be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of our content or services, including investment losses.

2.8 Jurisdictional Notice

Zero Noise Report is based in Canada. Our content is not intended for distribution where contrary to local law. Users are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws.

2.9 Data Sources and Attribution

Market prices and volumes come from end-of-day data supplied by Massive (formerly Polygon.io). Economic figures come from their official publishers: the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (consumer prices and employment), the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (GDP and PCE prices) and the Federal Reserve (the federal funds target range, retrieved through FRED®). Company filings come from the SEC’s EDGAR system. Figures are retrieved on or shortly before the day we publish them; each economic post names the period it covers and links to the official source.

This product uses the FRED® API but is not endorsed or certified by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. Use of FRED® data is subject to the FRED® API Terms of Use.

This product uses the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) Data API but is not endorsed or certified by BEA.

BLS.gov cannot vouch for the data or analyses derived from these data after the data have been retrieved from BLS.gov.

None of these agencies or data providers reviews, endorses or is responsible for our analysis.

If you believe content on our site infringes your copyright, send a written notice containing:

  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed
  • Identification of the infringing material and its location
  • Your contact information (name, address, phone, email)
  • A good-faith belief statement that the use is not authorized

7. Advertising & Independence Disclosure

7.1 Advertising in the Free Edition; Pro Is Ad-Free

The free edition of Zero Noise Report may carry one advertisement per issue, placed through the beehiiv Ad Network. Every advertisement is labelled as sponsored and sits apart from our research. Zero Noise Pro subscribers receive every issue without advertising. Advertisements are chosen by placement terms (what the slot pays), not by our view of the advertiser, and their appearance is not an endorsement or recommendation of the advertiser, its products, or any security or financial service it offers. Some advertisers may be financial publishers, trading platforms, or other financial services; their claims are theirs alone and are not reviewed or verified by us. Nothing in an advertisement is investment advice from Zero Noise Report.

Advertisers have no influence over what we cover or what we conclude, never see our research before publication, and cannot buy coverage. We do not write custom endorsements or "publisher's notes" for advertisers. We do not place an advertisement from a company whose own security we discuss in the same issue.

7.2 No Affiliate Program

We do not operate an affiliate or commission program, and we do not pay third parties to promote our products. If we ever link to an outside tool or service from which we would receive any payment, that relationship will be disclosed plainly at the point of the link — never buried here.

7.3 How We Are Funded

Our revenue comes from four sources: paid subscriptions to Zero Noise Pro; the advertising slot in the free edition described in 7.1; one-time digital tools we make ourselves (trade journal, watchlist and screener editions) and branded merchandise, printed on demand, both sold through our Fourthwall store. We do not accept sponsorship of our research, paid coverage, or payment from any issuer to mention its securities, and nothing we sell changes what we cover or conclude.

The paid tools are upgraded editions of tools we also give away. The free versions stay free to subscribers and referrers, and each paid listing says what it adds. Tools are educational and are not investment advice. Purchases, delivery and refunds for tools, and orders, shipping and returns for merchandise, are handled by Fourthwall under the terms shown on each product page and its store policies.

7.4 Positions

As stated in Section 2, authors may hold positions in securities mentioned in our content. Our research conclusions are independent of our advertising revenue: advertisers are placed by the ad network, not selected or reviewed for fit with our views.

8. Contact & Dispute Resolution

8.1 Contact

For any questions or concerns: zeronoisereport@gmail.com

8.2 Dispute Resolution

We prefer to resolve disputes amicably. Before initiating any legal proceeding, you agree to contact us first. If informal resolution is not possible within 30 days, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the ADR Institute of Canada, conducted in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

8.3 Class Action Waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that any dispute will be resolved on an individual basis and not as part of a class action, consolidated action, or representative action.

This legal package was last updated October 17, 2026. This legal package should be reviewed by a qualified attorney before publication. Laws vary by jurisdiction and change over time.
