Terms of Service
Last updated: August 2026
Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using AdviceIndex (adviceindex.com), a service of advice.ai (the “Services”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our Services.
Description of Services
AdviceIndex is a free self-evaluation tool. You rate how fully the financial advice you have received covers the planning areas that apply to you, against a rubric based on the CFP® curriculum, and receive a score and a shareable report. Scoring runs in your browser; your answers stay on your device unless you choose to share them (see our Privacy Policy). You may also request a meeting with an advisor through the site.
No account is required to use AdviceIndex, and nothing on the site is offered for sale.

Professional Services Disclaimer
AdviceIndex is for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute:
- Legal advice or legal services
- Financial advice or investment recommendations
- Tax advice or tax preparation services
- Insurance advice or insurance services
Scores reflect how fully the advice you described covers the rubric, as judged by your own ratings. They do not verify the accuracy, suitability, or regulatory compliance of any advice, and they are not a recommendation or endorsement of any advisor, firm, product, or strategy. Consult a qualified professional about your specific situation before making financial, legal, or tax decisions.
Data Security and Privacy
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your data. However, no system is completely secure. You acknowledge that you use our Services at your own risk. For more information about how we handle your data, including what never leaves your device, please review our Privacy Policy.
