Terms of Service

Our terms and conditions

Last updated: 17 February 2026

1. Introduction

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the ARIA platform, including our website at ariapm.ai and our AI-powered research and investment assistant tools (collectively, the "Platform"), provided by ARIA PM Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales ("ARIA", "we", "us", or "our").

Please read these Terms carefully before using our Platform. By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Platform.

2. Important Regulatory Disclaimer

ARIA is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The Platform does not provide personalised financial advice, investment recommendations, or portfolio management services.

The AI-generated research, analysis, and insights provided through the Platform are for general informational and educational purposes only. They do not constitute:

  • Financial, investment, tax, or legal advice of any kind
  • A personal recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any investment
  • An offer or solicitation to trade any financial instrument
  • A guarantee or prediction of future market performance

You should always seek independent financial advice from a qualified and FCA-regulated adviser before making any investment decisions. The value of investments can go down as well as up, and you may get back less than you invest.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age and resident in the United Kingdom to use the Platform. By using the Platform, you confirm that you meet these eligibility requirements.

If you are accessing the Platform on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

4. Account Registration

To access the Platform, you must create an account. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
  • Keep your login credentials confidential
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorised access to your account
  • Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that we reasonably believe contain inaccurate information or are being used in breach of these Terms.

5. Platform Services

ARIA provides AI-powered tools for investment research and portfolio analysis, including:

  • AI-generated research reports and market analysis
  • Portfolio tracking and performance analytics
  • Risk assessment and diversification insights
  • Market data aggregation and visualisation

We reserve the right to modify, update, or discontinue any feature of the Platform at any time, with or without notice. We shall not be liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Platform.

6. AI-Generated Content

6.1 Nature of AI-Generated Content

The Platform uses artificial intelligence to generate research, analysis, and insights. You acknowledge and agree that:

  • AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, or omissions
  • AI outputs are based on available data and algorithms, which have inherent limitations
  • Past performance data and analysis do not guarantee future results
  • AI-generated content should not be the sole basis for any investment decision

6.2 Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for any investment decisions you make. The Platform is a research tool, and you must exercise your own independent judgement. We strongly recommend consulting a qualified financial adviser before acting on any information obtained through the Platform.

6.3 No Liability for AI Content

ARIA shall not be liable for any losses, damages, or expenses arising from reliance on AI-generated content, including but not limited to investment losses, missed opportunities, or decisions made based on Platform outputs.

7. Fees, Payment, and Subscription

7.1 Subscription Fees

Access to the Platform requires payment of subscription fees as set out on our pricing page. Fees are charged in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, as selected) and are inclusive of VAT where applicable.

7.2 Payment

You authorise us to charge your designated payment method for all fees due. Payment processing is handled by third-party payment processors. We are not responsible for errors arising from third-party payment processing.

7.3 Price Changes

We reserve the right to modify our fees upon 30 days' prior notice. Price changes will take effect at the start of your next subscription period following the notice.

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing period. You will retain access to the Platform until the end of the period for which you have paid.

7.5 Refunds

Subscription fees are generally non-refundable. However, if you are a consumer exercising your right to cancel within 14 days of your initial subscription under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, you may be entitled to a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of the subscription period, less a reasonable charge for any services already provided.
