Summary
Level Up Media Group is a paid marketing firm. Public companies and other parties pay us to raise awareness of them. Any content we publish or distribute about a security for compensation discloses that we were paid, who paid, how much, and the period covered. Nothing we publish is investment advice. Small-cap and microcap securities are high risk, and you can lose your entire investment.
Not investment advice
All content on this Site and in material we publish or distribute, including text messages, emails, newsletter features, creator content, ads, articles, videos, and social media posts (together, “Content”), is for informational purposes only. It is not investment, financial, legal, accounting, or tax advice, and it is not a recommendation or an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security. Do your own research, read the company’s public filings, and consult a licensed financial adviser before making any investment decision.
Regulatory status
Level Up Media Group LLC is not registered as a broker-dealer, investment adviser, or research analyst with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, any state securities regulator, or any Canadian securities regulator. We do not sell securities, hold client funds or securities, or make investment recommendations.
Compensation disclosure (Section 17(b))
Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 makes it unlawful to publicize a security in exchange for compensation from an issuer, underwriter, or dealer without fully disclosing the receipt of that compensation, past or prospective, and its amount. We follow that rule and go further:
- Content we publish or distribute about a security for which we have received, or expect to receive, compensation from any party discloses the compensation, who paid it, the amount (and, for securities, the number and type), and the period covered.
- The disclosure appears in or directly alongside the Content, or through a clearly labeled link to a campaign disclosure page. Short formats such as text messages use a short disclosure with a link to the full details.
- Compensation may come from the company, a shareholder, or another third party. If a third party pays, we disclose that party and, where known, whether it holds shares it may sell.
- Compensation in cash and in securities is disclosed. Being paid creates a conflict of interest, and you should consider it when reading any paid Content.
Creators, publishers, and endorsements
Some campaigns use third-party creators, newsletter publishers, and media outlets. We require them to clearly disclose their compensation and their connection to the company in every paid post, consistent with Section 17(b) and the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising. Their opinions are their own.
Securities positions
Level Up Media Group, its members, employees, and contractors may own, or receive as compensation, securities of companies discussed in Content. Any such ownership or compensation in securities is disclosed in the relevant Content. We do not use material nonpublic information, and we require personnel to comply with securities laws, including insider trading and anti-fraud rules.
Sources and accuracy
Content is based on information the company has made public, such as filings, press releases, and presentations, and on other sources we believe to be reliable. We do not independently audit that information and make no representation about its accuracy or completeness. Information may change after publication, and we have no obligation to update it. Always check the company’s latest filings on SEC EDGAR or SEDAR+.
Forward-looking statements
Content may include forward-looking statements about future events, plans, or performance, often identified by words such as “expects,” “plans,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “may,” and “will.” These statements are based on current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. They are not guarantees, and you should not rely on them. We undertake no obligation to update them, except as required by law.
Risks of small-cap and microcap securities
Securities of small and microcap companies, including those quoted on OTC Markets or listed on venture exchanges, can be thinly traded, highly volatile, and subject to dilution, and some have limited public information. Promotional activity can coincide with sharp price movements that may not last. You can lose some or all of your investment. Learn more at the SEC’s investor education site, Investor.gov.
No guarantee of results
We do not promise or guarantee any share price, trading volume, market capitalization, or other result for any company, and we do not publish price targets or predictions. Past results and examples are not indicative of future results.
Canadian investors and issuers
Canadian securities regulators also regulate promotional activity, and some provinces have specific disclosure requirements for paid promotion. When Content concerns a Canadian issuer or is directed at Canadian investors, we follow applicable Canadian requirements in addition to the practices above.
Questions and corrections
If you believe any Content is inaccurate or missing a required disclosure, email contact@levelupm.com with a link to it, and we will review it promptly.
