The words “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Morgan Stanley” refer to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“MSSB”) and, if applicable, our affiliate(s), and any agent, independent contractor, designee, officer, and employee that we, in our sole discretion, involve in the provision of the Service. The words "you," "your," and "yours" mean you, as an authorized user of a Service.

We may also require you to take additional actions after accepting these Terms, such as an activation step, before you have access to a Service. Further, we may require you to re-accept these Terms if your relationship with Morgan Stanley changes, such as if you open a brokerage or managed account with us or if you enroll into a Service that was previously unavailable to you.

2. Information about the Service
A. Total Wealth View
(i) For purposes of these Terms, unless noted otherwise, accounts, assets, or liabilities custodied at or held with any entity other than a Morgan Stanley affiliate (including MSSB, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, or any Morgan Stanley banking entity) are referenced herein as “External Accounts.”
(ii) With Asset Aggregation, you can aggregate information in two ways: (1) You or an authorized party can manually input information about the applicable account, assets, and/or liabilities (each a "Manually Added Account") or (2) you can authorize us and our Service Provider to access third-party websites ("Third-Party Sites") designated by you and obtain, on your behalf, information about the applicable External Accounts stored on or available via such Third-Party Site. A Manually Added Account does not have to be an External Account.
(iii) You may use the Asset Aggregation functionality without using any other service offered by us via the Service Provider, if applicable.
B. Authorizations Granted to MSSB and Service Provider
(i) By using the Services, you are authorizing us and our Service Provider to access your External Accounts and Third-Party Sites on your behalf and as requested by you for purposes of providing the Services.
(ii) You understand and agree that you may be subject to user terms presented by the Service Provider to you that may, among other things, require you to grant them authorization in order for them to fulfill the Service for you.
(iii) YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WHEN WE OR THE SERVICE PROVIDER ACCESSES AND RETRIEVES INFORMATION FROM THIRD-PARTY SITES, WE AND THE SERVICE PROVIDER ARE ACTING AS YOUR AGENT, AND NOT THE AGENT OR ON BEHALF OF THE THIRD PARTY. You agree that we shall be entitled to rely on the authorization granted by you. You understand and agree that the Services are not endorsed or sponsored by any Third-Party Site providers accessible through the Service. You agree that we do not assume any responsibility and that we shall incur no liability with respect to the acts, omissions, or determinations of any provider of such Third-Party Site.
3. User Responsibilities
A. You acknowledge and represent to us that you are an owner of, a legal signer for, and/or are legally authorized to access each External Account and Third-Party Site, have the authority to designate us as your agent, use the Services, and to give us the applicable credentials/registration or other information in order for us or our Service Provider to provide the applicable Service. You understand that such activity may include the Service Provider submitting on your behalf any credential/registration or other information (e.g. user names and passwords) provided by you to the Third-Party Site. You further understand that without accurate information, we will not be able to provide the Services to you. You therefore agree to keep up to date your credentials/registration or other information we or our Service Provider need to provide the applicable Service.
B. You acknowledge that we are not responsible for any terms of service provided through or by third-party financial institutions, custodians, or Third-Party Sites, and if you have any problems with your External Accounts or Third-Party Sites you should contact the providers of such External Accounts and Third-Party Sites directly.
C. You understand you may not use the Services to initiate transactions affecting your External Accounts or provide notices or instructions affecting such External Accounts. Any transactions or other activities at such Third-Party Site are not made through the Services or the Service Provider and we assume no responsibility for such activities.
D. You are responsible for all charges associated with any Third-Party Site, and you understand and agree that we and our Service Provider assume no responsibility for any such charges or terms.
4. Privacy and Security
A. We respect your privacy and work to maintain the privacy and security of any personal information collected through your use of the Services. Details of how Morgan Stanley collects, stores, uses, and protects your personal information can be found in Morgan Stanley’s U.S. Privacy Policy and Notice (“Privacy Policy”), which is accessible via https://www.morganstanley.com/privacy-pledge.
B. You understand that, pursuant to the Notice to End Users above, we assume no responsibility for any statements about data collection, storage, use, or protection in a Service Provider supplied terms of use, and any obligations or disputes arising between you and the Service Provider about such statements shall be governed by such separate terms.
5. Information Visibility
A. Through your use of the Services, if you have a financial advisor, your Account information, including information about your External Accounts, if applicable, will be accessed by your financial advisor (and your financial advisor’s associates and supervisors) (collectively, “Financial Advisor”). Such information may include transaction-level account activity such as transaction or merchant name, date, amount, and, if applicable, categorization labels ("Transaction-Level Activity").
B. Under the Asset Aggregation Service, for External Accounts that you have aggregated, certain Transaction-Level Activity will remain private. This means that your Financial Advisor will not see a description of your Transaction-Level Activity but will see the transaction date and transaction amount (e.g., your Financial Advisor will see that you used your debit card to make a $3.00 purchase on a certain date, but not that it was at a coffee shop).
6. Un-Enrollment from a Service or of Your Relationship with MSSB; Disposition and Retention
You may stop using a Service at any time. However, ceasing to use a Service will not result in automatic deletion of any information retrieved or produced as part of a Service; please review the information on un-enrollment below for additional information.
A. Un-Enrollment from Asset Aggregation
To un-enroll from Asset Aggregation, you must cease using the Service and delete your External Accounts and any Manually Added Accounts.
(i) Upon deletion, the information about your External Accounts, including any and all records of any or all information created, acquired, collected, or otherwise about you or available to you through the Services (collectively, "External Account Information") will no longer be available to you, your Financial Advisor (if applicable), or MSSB. At such time, certain of your External Account Information will be deleted from the Service Provider’s systems automatically while any remaining External Account Information will be deleted from the Service Provider’s systems within 90 days.
(ii) If applicable, you understand that certain other tools offered by us via the Service Provider may include External Accounts and Manually Added Accounts from Asset Aggregation and your deletion of such information may affect your use of such other tools.
B. Retention by MSSB
External Account Information obtained by us through your use of the Services may be retained by us for periods of time and in a form as determined by us or required or permitted by Applicable Law, business practice, or our policy or procedure. In some cases, we may be required to retain such information indefinitely including information permitted or required to be retained under applicable law, rule or regulation or the administration of our business.
C. Termination of Your Relationship with MSSB
In the event that you terminate your relationship with MSSB and/or if MSSB terminates its relationship with you, we have the right to terminate your access to the Services and any information retrieved and stored as a part of a Service.
The Service Provider may, independently of MSSB, provide the ability for you to find out what kind of data they hold after termination directly via their website. You acknowledge that we are not responsible for any such requests, information provided, or any other aspect of your direct interaction with the Service Provider.
7. Disclaimer of Responsibility; Limitation of Liability; Indemnity
A. Accurate Information
In addition to other limitations on liability set forth in these Terms, MSSB and its Service Provider shall incur no liability to you if the Services do not function as described because you have not provided us with the correct registration or credential information, or other information used to provide the Services to you.
B. No Responsibility for Third-Party Sites
(i) All of your External Account information available through the Services is provided by third parties. We make no effort to review, and we are not responsible for, nor do we endorse or recommend, any products, services, or content of any Third-Party Site, including, but not limited to, the validity, legality, or copyright compliance of the content contained in these Third-Party Sites.

You understand and agree that you must perform your own evaluation of any investment based on your investment objectives, financial resources, and risk tolerance.
C. Limitations of Manually Added Account and External Account Information
(i) Information related to your Manually Added Accounts reflects only the information that you provide. You acknowledge that Manually Added Account and External Account Information is not updated by us and that we do not guarantee its accuracy, completeness, or timeliness.
(ii) For any information related to your External Accounts obtained by the Service Provider, this information reflects the most recent refresh by the Service Provider and may not be accurate or timely if a refresh was not successfully completed or the information obtained from the Third-Party Site is otherwise not accurate or current. For example, when displayed, External Account Information is only as current a representation of the information from the Third-Party Site at the time displayed, which reflects when the Service Provider obtained the information from the source. You acknowledge that such information may be more up-to-date when obtained directly by you from the relevant Third-Party Site. Neither we nor our Service Providers shall be liable for any errors or delays in the content provided through the Services, or for any actions taken in reliance thereon.
(iii) Your Manually Added Account and External Account information is provided for informational purposes only. The transactions viewed in your External Account are not custodied with us and cannot be used for trading or transactional purposes.
