It is your responsibility to refer to the changes. They may, at ADVFN's absolute discretion come into effect immediately on posting. ADVFN does not warrant any connection, transmission over, security of or results from the use of any network connection or facilities provided (or omitted to be provided) in connection with the Services.
If, in our sole discretion, we consider that your use of the Services may detrimentally affect another user and/or our ability to provide the Services and/or our commercial interests, we may limit the number of data requests available to you. Moreover, we may at our sole discretion suspend or terminate your ability to access the Services. We will only do so if it is reasonable in all the circumstances. We will always endeavour to act fairly and reasonably when exercising our discretion in relation to the Services we provide.
A single registered account may not be accessed by more than one display device simultaneously. Note that when accessing services that are stated to be "limited", you agree to the following access conditions which assign your rights to be logged off the relevant service to which you subscribe:: ADVFN will at its discretion set a limit to the number of users who are able to access simultaneously those services (the "pool") and, on a rolling basis, if that number is exceeded the user who is the first in the pool will be logged off the relevant service.
The Services and the Information are only for your general information and use and are not intended to address your particular requirements. In particular, the Services and Information do not constitute any form of advice or recommendation by ADVFN and are not intended to be relied upon by users in making (or refraining from making) any investment decisions. Appropriate independent advice should be obtained before making any such decision. Any arrangement made between you and any third party named in the Services is at your sole risk and responsibility. For your information we would like to draw your attention to the following investment warnings. The price of shares and investments and the income derived from them can go down as well as up, and investors may not get back the amount they invested. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. Where the Information consists of pricing or performance data, the data contained therein has been obtained from company reports, financial reporting services, periodicals, and other sources believed reliable. Data computations are not guaranteed by ADVFN or any of the Data Providers or affiliates and may not be complete. In respect of information relating to companies listed on the Alternative Investment Market ("AIM"), AIM is a market designed primarily for emerging or smaller companies to which a higher investment risk than that associated with established companies tends to be attached. In addition, the market for shares traded on AIM may not be as liquid as those traded on the Official List of the London Stock Exchange. The rules of AIM are less demanding than those of the Official List of the London Stock Exchange.
Neither ADVFN nor any of its Data Providers or affiliates make any warranties expressed or implied, as to the accuracy, adequacy, quality or fitness for any particular purpose of the Information or the Services for a particular purpose or use and all such warranties are expressly excluded to the fullest extent that such warranties may be excluded by law. ADVFN, its employees, Data Providers and affiliates may or may not hold investments in the companies referred to in the Information and Services. You bear all risks from any uses or results of using any Information. You are responsible for validating the integrity of any Information received over the Internet. Neither ADVFN nor its Data Providers or affiliates accept liability for any costs, losses or damages resulting from or related to the availability or content of the Services. The Services or any part do not constitute an offer or solicitation to sell investments in any jurisdiction.
You irrevocably indemnify ADVFN and its Data Providers and affiliates from and against any and all losses, damages and costs suffered or incurred by ADVFN, any Data Providers or affiliates of whatsoever nature arising out of or in connection with your use, provision or distribution of Information or any part or the Services or any part or otherwise howsoever arising in relation to any breach of this Agreement by you.
You may post information on the Service (i.e. on the bulletin boards) or make it available to other users by e-mail only where and as permitted by ADVFN from time to time. Moreover, you may only use the website and Services at ADVFN's sole discretion and ADVFN may at any time decide to terminate your registered user account, or else withdraw your access to some or all of the website and Services, immediately and without notice to you. ADVFN does not monitor, approve, endorse or exert editorial control over information posted by users and does not therefore accept responsibility for or make any warranties in connection with or recommend that you or any third party rely on such information. You agree to not post (or transmit) (i) any information which in ADVFN's sole opinion is objectionable including, without limit, information which is defamatory, obscene, threatening, untrue or in breach of any applicable laws, rules, regulations or market conventions (including, without limit, financial services regulations), (ii) any information which is in breach of any person's rights (including without limit, copyright and confidentiality), (iii) any information or software which contains a virus, cancelbot, Trojan horse, worm or is otherwise harmful or (iv) any information which (in ADVFN's sole opinion) constitutes advertising or (v) any information outside the area designated for posting or (vi) any information or comment which (in ADVFN's sole opinion) is deemed harmful to ADVFN or ADVFN's commercial interests. ADVFN reserves the right to remove any such information from the Services without warning and to inform and give assistance to the relevant bodies in respect of any transgressions. Every message posted on ADVFN by or on behalf of an organisation which, in ADVFN's sole opinion, is in breach of these terms and conditions and requires removal of the message from the ADVFN site will incur a £10 per message engineering fee for removal.

By placing on the Services or making available to other users any information you hereby grant ADVFN a worldwide non-exclusive licence to use copy, distribute, publish and transmit such information in any manner ADVFN wishes (including, without limit, archiving and making available such information as part of the Services).
ADVFN provides hypertext links to sites on the Internet which are operated by other people. Using an external hypertext link means that you may be leaving ADVFN's site and ADVFN therefore takes no responsibility for and gives no warranties, guarantees or representations in respect of linked sites.
Due to the number of sources from which ADVFN obtains content and the nature of electronic distribution via the world wide web neither ADVFN nor any of its Data Providers nor affiliates have any liability (whether in contract or tort) for any losses, costs or damages resulting from or related to use of or inability to use any Information contained in the Services or the provision of the Services to the fullest extent to which such liability may be excluded or avoided by law and in no event shall ADVFN be liable to you for lost profits or for indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential damages arising out of or in relation to the Services or the provision of Information.

Our employees are required to comply with a policy of independence and disregard any such interest, relationship or arrangement in the course of carrying out their employment.

The provision in question shall be replaced by a valid and enforceable term which corresponds, so far as possible, with the original. Failure by either party to exercise any right or remedy under this agreement does not constitute a waiver of that right or remedy. All disclaimers, indemnities and exclusions in this agreement shall survive termination of this agreement. Neither you nor ADVFN shall be held liable for any loss or failure to perform any obligation hereunder due to causes beyond your or their respective reasonable control. This agreement replaces all terms and conditions previously applicable to the provision of the Services or any of them.
