Terms of Use

Effective November 15, 2026

Stocks Made Simple is operated by AQC Technologies LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("we" and "us"). These terms are an agreement between you and us. They apply when you use stocksbymadesimple.com or buy our guides. By buying or using them, you agree to these terms.

What you're buying

Our guides are digital PDF files, in English. Right after purchase, we email you a link to your library, where you can download them anytime. Prices are in US dollars and are a one-time payment; there is no subscription. Sales tax is added at checkout where the law requires it.

How you can use the guides

When you buy, you get a personal license to use the guides. You can keep the files on your own devices, print copies for yourself, and copy the workbook's blank sheets for your own research.

You may not resell, upload, or otherwise publish the files, or use them to create a course, class, or competing product. The guides and everything in them are © AQC Technologies LLC.

An independent guide

Stocks Made Simple is an independent guide that teaches how to research stocks. It is education only: not investment, tax or legal advice, not personalized to you, and not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security. Stocks Made Simple is not a registered investment adviser or broker-dealer. Investing involves risk, including loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

We are not affiliated with or endorsed by the SEC, FINRA, the SIPC, the IRS, any stock exchange, any index provider, any brokerage, any data provider or any company. Those names are used only to say where the public rules and guidance in the guides come from. Every company used as an example in the guides is made up.

Using the guides

The guides teach general methods for reading company filings, estimating what a stock may be worth, and setting your own rules for buying, holding and selling, along with how US accounts, orders and taxes generally work. They are general education, not advice about your situation, and nothing in them is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security. Every company and number in the examples is made up. Rules, tax figures and limits change over time; check the current rules with the SEC, FINRA, the IRS and your broker, and ask a licensed professional before you make a decision about your money. You alone are responsible for your investment decisions.

We work hard to keep every page accurate. If you spot an error, please email us and we'll fix it.

No promise of results

The guides describe methods, not outcomes. We don't promise that any method will lead to any particular result. Investing involves risk, including the loss of the money you invest, and past performance does not guarantee future results. If the kit isn't for you, our 7-day money-back guarantee (stocksbymadesimple.com/refund) applies.

Limitation of liability

The guides and website are provided "as is." To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential damages, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for your order.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The version on this page, with the date at the top, is the one that applies.
