Terms & Conditions
The following outlines the terms and conditions of use (referred to as the “Terms of Use”) for the website (the “Site”) operated by Park Avenue Asset Management, including its successors and assigns (collectively referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms of Use, together with the Privacy Policy, form a legally binding agreement between you and the Company governing your access to and use of the Site and associated activities. Should any portion of these Terms of Use be deemed unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that portion will be severed and will not affect the enforceability or validity of the remaining provisions. Any failure by us to enforce any right or provision within these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of such rights unless explicitly stated in writing.
These Terms of Use apply to all users of the Site, including those who upload any type of content or materials, utilize services provided through the Site or its web application, or simply browse the Site and its available materials. By accessing or using the Site in any manner, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to abide by these Terms of Use, you should immediately discontinue your use of the Site, its content, and any associated services.

It is recommended that you periodically review these Terms of Use to stay informed about any updates or modifications.
These Terms of Use do not modify or override any other agreements you may have with the Company unless expressly agreed upon in writing. If you violate any of these Terms of Use, the Company reserves the right to terminate your access to and use of the Site.
