Important Terms and Conditions:

  1. No refunds are possible under any circumstance.
  2. Membership is only for individuals and should not be shared.
  3. The above tools can be used for personal or professional purposes (e.g. advisory, report preparation, etc.). They should not be re-distributed in any form or manner without prior consent.
  4. You are free to modify the tools at will for the above purposes.
  5. Suppose the results from these tools are used in any form of content accessible to the public – articles, videos, social media posts, etc.  – the appropriate credit should be given to the source: freefincal.com.
  6. The tools have been created with the latest version of Excel. They are unlikely to work with very old versions of Excel (e.g. Excel 2007).

This function is built in only from Excel 2016 onwards.  No refund will be provided if one or more tools do not work with your Excel version.

  9. The freefincal investor circle discussion forum is a place to discuss analysis methods, construction of calculators, etc. It is not a place to discuss individual investments and seek public advice.
  10. The discretion of which tools (created in the past/future) to include in the investor circle is entirely up to the freefincal team.
  11. The tools listed under “coming soon” are under development. It may not be possible to provide them for various reasons or circumstances.
