DISCLOSURES

Effective Date: September 19, 2026

This page provides important information about THE CODE LLC (“THE CODE,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), its website, and its personal strategic advisory services.

NATURE OF THE SERVICES

THE CODE provides one-on-one personal strategic advisory. The work helps clients understand their current reality, define their destination, structure a strategy, and evaluate execution and progress.

The client defines the destination and remains responsible for all final decisions and actions. THE CODE does not make decisions for the client or assume control over the client’s personal, professional, financial, legal, medical, or relationship matters.

NOT THERAPY OR LICENSED PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

THE CODE is not therapy, counseling, mental-health treatment, crisis intervention, medical care, legal representation, tax preparation, financial planning, or investment advisory.

THE CODE does not diagnose or treat mental-health or medical conditions and does not replace services provided by a licensed professional.

Clients and website visitors should consult appropriately qualified professionals when their circumstances require licensed or specialized advice.

NO GUARANTEE OF RESULTS

THE CODE does not guarantee any particular outcome.

Results depend on individual circumstances, decisions, effort, execution, outside conditions, and other factors beyond THE CODE’s control.

Participation in advisory services does not guarantee personal, professional, financial, legal, health, relationship, or other improvement.

FOUNDER STORY AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

Statements concerning Michael Pugliese’s background, decisions, setbacks, incarceration, business experience, investing, rebuilding, or personal life describe his individual experience.

They are provided to explain the perspective behind THE CODE. They are not presented as a model that others should follow, proof of expected client results, or a substitute for professional advice.

FINANCIAL AND INVESTMENT REFERENCES

Any references to business ownership, investing, trading, financial decisions, or financial results are provided solely as background or general commentary.

THE CODE does not provide investment advice, recommend securities, manage client funds, execute trades, or guarantee financial outcomes.

Nothing on the website or within THE CODE’s advisory services should be interpreted as an offer to buy or sell a security or as a recommendation concerning any investment or financial strategy.

REFERRALS AND SPONSORED ADVISORY

A professional, organization, family member, employer, or other third party may refer a prospective client or offer to pay for an accepted client’s advisory services.

A referral or sponsorship does not guarantee acceptance.

Payment by a sponsor does not give the sponsor authority over the client’s destination, strategy, sessions, decisions, or records. The advisory relationship remains with the client.

For an adult client, a sponsor does not receive session details, progress reports, or client records unless the client provides specific written authorization. Any authorization may be limited or withdrawn for future disclosures.

TESTIMONIALS AND EXAMPLES

Any testimonial, endorsement, case example, or description of an individual experience reflects the circumstances and views of that individual.

Individual experiences are not guarantees or representations that another person will achieve the same or similar results.

THIRD-PARTY REFERENCES

References or links to third-party businesses, professionals, platforms, products, or services do not necessarily constitute an endorsement, partnership, or guarantee.

THE CODE is not responsible for a third party’s services, statements, availability, conduct, privacy practices, or results.

If THE CODE receives compensation or another material benefit connected to a recommendation or endorsement, that relationship will be disclosed where the recommendation or endorsement appears.

EMERGENCIES

THE CODE does not provide emergency or crisis services.

Anyone experiencing an immediate threat to their safety or the safety of another person should contact 911 or an appropriate emergency or crisis resource.

CHANGES TO THESE DISCLOSURES

We may update these Disclosures when our services, business relationships, or legal obligations change.

Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
