00 / Introduction
Welcome to WiredForWealth. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of wiredforwealth.ca, our newsletter The Inspection Report, and any related content, services, or features (collectively, the "Services").
WiredForWealth is operated from Barrie, Ontario, Canada. By using the Services, you are entering into a binding agreement with us. Please read these Terms carefully.
This is the rulebook for using our site and newsletter. The most important rule: nothing here is financial advice. We're an educational brand, not your financial planner.
01 / Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Services, you confirm that you:
- Are at least 18 years of age, or are accessing the Services with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian;
- Have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms;
- Have read and acknowledged our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.
02 / About WiredForWealth
WiredForWealth is a Canadian personal finance education and entertainment brand. Our content is built around the persona of Gord "Amp" Ampere, a fictional master electrician, and is designed to make personal finance concepts approachable for Canadians.
We publish content on our website, through our email newsletter, and on third-party platforms including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook. We are not a registered financial advisor, broker, dealer, securities firm, investment company, bank, or any other regulated financial entity.
03 / Not Financial Advice
Content on or distributed through the Services is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute, and should not be relied upon as, financial, investment, tax, accounting, legal, or any other professional advice.
Specifically, you acknowledge and agree that:
- We are not a registered investment advisor, financial planner, accountant, lawyer, or tax professional in Canada or any other jurisdiction.
- Nothing on the Services is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security, investment product, insurance product, or financial instrument.
- Past performance is not indicative of future results. All investments involve risk, including the potential loss of principal.
- Your personal financial situation is unique. You should consult with a qualified, licensed professional before making any financial, investment, tax, or legal decision.
- Information on the Services may become outdated. Tax rules, contribution limits, government programs, and financial products change frequently. We do not commit to keeping content current.
You assume full responsibility for any decisions you make in connection with content you encounter on the Services. To the maximum extent permitted by law, WiredForWealth disclaims all liability for actions taken or not taken based on the content.
04 / Intellectual Property
All content on the Services, including text, graphics, logos, icons, images, video, audio, design elements, software, and the compilation thereof (collectively, the "Content"), is owned by WiredForWealth or its licensors and is protected by Canadian and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
The "WiredForWealth" name and logo, the "Gord 'Amp' Ampere" persona, and related branding are trademarks of WiredForWealth. You may not use them without our prior written permission.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms.
You may stop using the Services at any time. You may unsubscribe from the newsletter using the unsubscribe link in any newsletter email or by emailing gord@wiredforwealth.ca.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Governing Law, and this Termination clause — will survive any termination of these Terms.
12 / Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be brought exclusively in the courts located in Barrie, Ontario, Canada, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
This choice of law and forum applies regardless of where you reside or access the Services from. Where applicable consumer protection laws of your jurisdiction provide rights that cannot be waived, those rights continue to apply.
13 / Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page indicates when these Terms were most recently revised.
For material changes, we will provide reasonable advance notice through a banner on our website or by notifying newsletter subscribers. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
14 / Severability and Entire Agreement
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and WiredForWealth concerning the Services, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, and proposals.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of that right or provision.
