2. I am aware that:
a) Shape Super does not hold a financial services license; and
b) accordingly, is generally prohibited from providing me with any recommendation or opinion that is intended to influence me in making any decision in relation to self-managed superannuation (including whether to establish, contribute to or draw benefits from, an SMSF, or any investment decision by an SMSF trustee), or that could reasonably be regarded as being intended to have such an influence (Financial Advice).
3. If Shape Super has provided me with advice in relation to self-managed superannuation, that advice
has been of a general factual nature only and not intended in any manner or delivery to be in relation to our specific circumstances.
4. Shape Super has not provided me with any Financial Advice in relation to the Fund, such as (without
limitation):
a) whether I should establish the Fund.
b) any decision to contribute to or draw a benefit from the Fund; or
c) any investment decision by a trustee of the Fund.
5. I understand that:
a) if I request the Firm to establish the Fund, the Firm will be obliged to establish the Fund in
accordance with my instructions, even if the Firm believes those instructions may not be in my
best interest; and
b) if I request the Firm to provide administration services in relation to the Fund, in providing those
services the Firm will be prevented from providing Financial Advice.
6. We declare that we have researched and understand the legal regulations and responsibilities and
