Make the provider’s identity, offer and claims reviewable.
General informationSources and dates included
Verify the seller
Record the licensed legal name, invoice details, contact address, advertised activity and refund terms. An education certificate should not be presented as financial-services authorisation.
Ask for evidence behind claims
Request the period, sample and method behind performance claims. Distinguish audited live results from backtests, demo results and selected trades. Avoid interpreting any historical result as a promised future return.
Keep the agreement
Read access duration, support scope, recurring charges and cancellation terms before paying. Record broker affiliations and whether personal financial recommendations are included; those may require a separate regulatory assessment.
Create columns for the claim, evidence requested, evidence received, unresolved question and your decision. For an earnings claim, request the period and sample behind it. For a qualification claim, ask for the issuer and a verification route. For a refund promise, keep the actual contract wording.
Illustrative entry: “ongoing support” is advertised, but the contract only specifies recorded lessons. The decision is to clarify support hours, channel and duration before paying. Do not mark a claim verified because it appears in several advertisements. Keep the provider’s response with the invoice and terms.
