Important: Information on this Site is provided for general educational purposes only. It is not personalized financial, investment, tax, or legal advice, and it does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any insurance or financial product.
Annuity suitability depends on your individual circumstances, including your age, financial goals, income needs, risk tolerance, and tax situation. Before purchasing any annuity or financial product, you should consult with a licensed insurance professional, a qualified tax advisor, and/or an attorney.

8. Third-Party Links, Carriers, and Independent Advisors
The Site may contain links to third-party websites, including insurance carriers, government agencies, and news sources. These links are provided for your convenience only. We do not control these sites and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or accuracy.
Independent advisors: Advisors featured in our “Find an Advisor” directory and those who may contact you through the Site are independent licensed professionals, not employees of Annuity.com. They are responsible for their own licensing, compliance, and the advice they provide. Annuity.com does not endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for recommendations made by independent advisors.
Carriers: Insurance products are issued by the insurance carrier, not by Annuity.com. All annuity guarantees are subject to the claims-paying ability of the issuing carrier.
9. Rate Data, Calculators, and Tools
Annuity.com publishes rate and product information sourced from insurance carriers and third-party data providers. Rates change frequently and without notice. Any rate, benefit, or product feature displayed on the Site:
- Is subject to change by the issuing carrier at any time
- May be subject to state availability restrictions
- May be subject to minimum deposit, age, or eligibility requirements
- Is not a binding offer and is not guaranteed until a contract is issued by the carrier
Calculators and tools on the Site (including the “What Is Your Number?” retirement income calculator and longevity calculator) produce illustrative estimates only. They are not financial projections, are not guarantees of future results, and rely on assumptions you provide. Actual outcomes will differ based on market conditions, product features, carrier pricing, taxes, and other factors.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, Annuity.com disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including without limitation warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted operation.
We do not warrant that the Site will be error-free, secure, or uninterrupted, or that any content is current, complete, or accurate. You use the Site and rely on its content at your own risk.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Annuity.com, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, and licensors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of the Site or reliance on any content, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
In any event, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising from or related to the Site shall not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100.00).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
12. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Annuity.com and its officers, directors, employees, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Site; (b) your violation of these Terms; or (c) your violation of any rights of a third party.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice (such as a banner on the Site). Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.
14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
