⚠️ PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
By using Newbies Investing, you agree to these terms. They affect your legal rights, including how disputes are handled. Crucially, this agreement includes a mandatory arbitration clause and a class action waiver (Section 12), meaning you agree to resolve disputes individually rather than through a court trial.
