Legal Disclaimer & Compliance Policy

Last Updated: January 20, 2026

This page contains important legal disclaimers and compliance information regarding Azgari Foundation's services, programs, and content. Please read this information carefully before using our services or making any business decisions.

1. No Guarantee of Results

1.1 Income and Earnings Disclaimer

AZGARI FOUNDATION DOES NOT GUARANTEE ANY SPECIFIC INCOME, REVENUE, PROFIT, OR BUSINESS RESULTS.

Any references to income, earnings, revenue, or financial results on our website, in our marketing materials, during consultations, or in our programs are for illustrative purposes only. They represent potential outcomes based on various factors and are not promises or guarantees of what you will achieve.

Your results will depend on many factors, including but not limited to:

  • Your individual effort, skills, and dedication
  • Your available capital and financial resources
  • Market conditions in your geographic area
  • Economic conditions locally and nationally
  • Competition in your chosen industry
  • Regulatory and licensing requirements in your state
  • Your adherence to program guidance and best practices
  • Timing and external circumstances beyond anyone's control
  • Your ability to execute on strategies and recommendations

1.2 Testimonials and Case Studies

Testimonials and case studies featured on our website represent real experiences of past or current clients. However:

  • They are not guarantees of future results
  • Individual outcomes vary significantly
  • The featured clients may have had unique circumstances, skills, or market conditions
  • Past performance does not guarantee future results

When we share specific results (e.g., "$12K in revenue in 7 weeks"), these are individual outcomes, not typical results. Many participants achieve different results, and some may not achieve profitable outcomes.

1.3 Business Risk Acknowledgment

Starting and operating a business involves substantial risk, including the risk of losing your entire investment. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, approximately 20% of new businesses fail within the first year, and about 50% fail within five years.

By using our services, you acknowledge that:

  • Business ownership involves inherent risks
  • There is no guarantee of business success or profitability
  • You may lose some or all of your investment
  • Azgari Foundation is not responsible for your business outcomes
