Important legal information

Anyone viewing information on Web pages published by the LGT Venture Philanthropy Foundation (hereinafter "LGT VP") implicitly agrees to the terms and conditions set out below. Any special agreements concerning individual LGT VP products and services apply in addition to these terms and conditions or, if there is a conflict, take precedence over them.

1. Access

None of the information on these Web pages is intended for persons or companies from countries in which viewing such information entails any form of registration requirement on LGT VP's part. Furthermore, persons subject to a jurisdiction that prohibits viewing information on these LGT VP Web pages are not permitted to view said information.

2. No offer or recommendation

None of the information on these Web pages in any way constitutes an offer or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell products or services. It is intended solely for information purposes and for use by the recipient. Accordingly, no buy or sell orders submitted via the message window or e-mail will be accepted. Furthermore, none of the information on these Web pages constitutes a recommendation to buy or sell investment products or to enter into transactions of any kind. Users are advised to consult a qualified person before making investment decisions or decisions of any other kind.

3. No guarantee that information is up to date, correct or complete

The reports on these Web pages are produced by LGT VP staff based on information from sources deemed to be reliable. However, LGT VP offers no guarantee with regard to the content of these reports, which must not be regarded as complete descriptions or summaries of the trends mentioned therein. LGT VP constantly reviews and updates the information on its Web pages. Despite its best efforts, this information may nevertheless be out of date or based on incorrect data provided by third parties. LGT VP therefore accepts no liability for the information provided being up to date, correct and complete.

4. Linked Web pages

Users must be aware that LGT VP has no control whatsoever over third-party Web pages linked to or from LGT VP Web pages and therefore accepts no liability for the content of such Web pages being correct, complete and legally valid or for the products and services offered on such Web pages. LGT VP's express, written permission must always be sought before including a link to an LGT VP Web page on a third-party Web page.

5. Changes and additions

LGT VP reserves the right to make changes and additions to the information provided at any time without prior notice.

6. Local legal restrictions

The LGT VP website is not intended for persons subject to a jurisdiction that prohibits the publication of or access to the LGT VP website due to their nationality or domicile or for any other reason. Persons subject to such restrictions may not access the LGT VP website.

7. Copyright

The content and structure of these Web pages are protected by copyright. Individual pages and/or sections of the LGT VP website may be stored or printed out, provided neither the copyright information nor any legally protected trademarks are removed. Anyone saving software or other data provided on the LGT VP website or reproducing it in any other way implicitly agrees to the conditions of use. All intellectual property rights remain with LGT VP. The LGT VP website may be reproduced in full or in part, in particular its text and images, forwarded electronically or by any other means, altered, linked to or otherwise used for public or commercial purposes only with LGT VP's prior approval.

8. Exclusion of liability

LGT VP expressly accepts no liability for losses or damages of any kind arising from using or accessing the LGT VP website or links to third-party websites or from viewing information on its Web pages. Furthermore, LGT VP accepts no liability for any unauthorized manipulation of users' IT systems. LGT VP expressly draws users' attention to the risk of viruses and the threat of hacker attacks. Using the latest browser version and antivirus software is thus strongly recommended. E-mails from unknown senders should not be opened.

9. Data protection and data transfer security

LGT VP expressly draws users' attention to the fact that data are transferred via public networks such as the Internet or e-mail services, which can be accessed by anyone. LGT VP cannot guarantee the confidentiality of messages or documents sent via such public networks. Anyone sending personal information (such as senders' and recipients' names and addresses) via a public network should be aware that third parties may be able to view, store and use it without their permission. Third parties may thus be able to deduce existing business relationships. Even if the sender and recipient are in the same country, data transferred between them often pass through other countries, including countries that do not offer the same level of data protection as the country in question, without being subject to any controls. Data may be lost or intercepted by unauthorized third parties during the transfer process. LGT VP accepts no liability for the security of data transferred via the Internet or for direct or indirect data loss. For data protection and security reasons, users are advised to contact LGT VP via other means of communication.
