4. No Client Relationship Created by Website Use

Use of this website, submission of a form, downloading materials, requesting information, or communicating with Cleared Systems through the website does not create a client relationship, advisory relationship, consultant relationship, fiduciary relationship, attorney-client relationship, business associate relationship, or any other professional relationship.

A formal relationship with Cleared Systems begins only when both parties enter into a written agreement signed or otherwise accepted by authorized representatives.

5. Do Not Submit Sensitive Regulated Information Through Website Forms

Public website forms are for general business inquiries only.
