Last Updated: August 6, 2026

These Website Terms of Use, referred to as the “Terms,” govern your access to and use of ellevateft.com and any webpages, content, features, or resources available through the website, collectively referred to as the “Website.”

The Website is owned and operated by EllevateFT, LLC, referred to in these Terms as “Ellevate,” “we,” “us,” or “our.”

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not access or use the Website.

1. Purpose of the Website

The Website provides general information about Ellevate, our services, industry perspectives, client experiences, and related topics.

The Website is intended for informational and business-development purposes only. It is not intended to provide advice for any specific firm, organization, individual, situation, or transaction.

We may update, modify, remove, or discontinue any portion of the Website at any time without notice.

Your access to or use of the Website does not create a consulting, advisory, fiduciary, professional, or client relationship between you and Ellevate.

Submitting a contact form, sending us an email, scheduling a consultation, or communicating with a member of our team does not create a client relationship or obligate Ellevate to provide services.

A client relationship is established only through a separate written agreement signed by Ellevate and the applicable client. If there is a conflict between these Terms and a signed client agreement, the signed client agreement will govern the services covered by that agreement.

3. No Professional or Investment Advice

A guarantee regarding the performance, suitability, availability, or results of any technology platform, vendor, service, process, or strategy
An offer or solicitation to buy or sell securities or other financial products
