General Educational Purpose
Money 101 is a financial literacy program created for general educational and informational purposes only. Nothing in this course constitutes or should be construed as individualized financial, investment, tax, legal, accounting, credit, insurance, or other professional advice. The content is designed to explain how financial systems work and to help learners ask better questions, not to tell any individual what they should do with their money.

No Professional Relationship
Completing Money 101, receiving a certificate of completion, or interacting with any host, presenter, or contributor associated with the course does not create a professional or client relationship of any kind. No host, presenter, or contributor appearing in this course, including any individual identified as a founder, executive, or technical expert, is acting as your personal financial adviser, tax professional, attorney, investment adviser, or insurance professional. Any such relationship would require a separate, formal engagement with a licensed professional.

No Endorsement of Financial Products or Securities
Nothing in Money 101 should be interpreted as a recommendation, solicitation, or endorsement to buy, sell, or hold any security, cryptocurrency, financial product, investment vehicle, or other asset. References to specific products, platforms, companies, or services are for illustrative and educational purposes only and do not constitute an endorsement by DeFiTax, Money 101, or any associated party.

Illustrative Examples Only

They are not predictions, guarantees, or representations of results any individual will or should expect to achieve. Actual results will vary based on individual circumstances.

Investment Risk
