You may recopy to third parties for their personal information only certain Information as may be specified from time to time by ADVFN as being available for that purpose, but only if:
1. you clearly and prominently acknowledge the ADVFN Web page as the source of the material; and
2. you inform third party that these conditions apply to him, her or it and that he/she/it must comply with them. This licence to recopy does not permit alteration, adaption or merging of material available on these pages. No part of the ADVFN Web pages may be distributed or copied for any commercial purpose.
No part of the ADVFN Web pages may be reproduced on or transmitted to or stored by any other Web site or other form of electronic retrieval system by any person or entity that operates any such Web site or electronic retrieval system.
You are responsible for all use of the Services made using your username and password, whether or not the use is made by you or someone else using your username and password. You are responsible for protecting and securing your username and password from unauthorised use. If you believe there has been a breach of security of your username you should notify ADVFN. ADVFN, at its absolute discretion, reserves the right to refuse a user permission to use any particular user name and/or password. It is not permitted to impersonate or to attempt to impersonate another user or to make use of or attempt to make use of another user's user name or password and any such actions may result in legal action, including criminal prosecution.

ADVFN will itself collect and use information you supply to ADVFN in order to operate and enhance the Services in accordance with our Privacy Policy. You must ensure that your personal information is correct and complete. You must inform us of any changes to your personal information by contacting support@advfn.com
ADVFN reserves the right to change the content, presentation, performance, user facilities and availability of any part of the Services at its sole discretion. 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.

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.

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. This fee is payable on demand by the organisation and will accrue interest monthly at 7% above base rate.

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. ADVFN makes no warranty that the Service is free from infection by viruses or anything else that has contaminating or destructive properties.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that in respect of the Services, we, a connected company or some other person connected with us may have an interest, relationship or arrangement that is material in relation to any Information supplied or could give rise to a conflict of interest and you agree that we shall not be required to disclose it to you. 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.

ADVFN may withdraw the Services from you, immediately and without notice or compensation if you (i) fail to make any payments due to ADVFN, (ii) are in breach of any of the terms of this agreement (in particular, clause 11 above), or any generally accepted guidelines on Internet usage and etiquette (such as restrictions on mass mailings and mass advertisements, pirating or copying software, mail bombing or attempts to violate security), (iii) you do or fail to do any act which jeopardises the continuance of the Services, (iv) if bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings are brought against you, (v) if you do not make any payments under a court judgement or fine, (vi) if you make an arrangement with your creditors or a receiver or administrator is appointed over your assets or (vii) if you become bankrupt. In any such circumstances, ADVFN will then be under no further obligation to you. ADVFN may also exercise the right of termination set out in clause 11 (Information Postd by You) above. Refunds of subscriptions to ADVFN are at ADVFN's sole discretion.
You agree that in entering into this agreement you are over the age of 18 and you will at all times be acting as a Private Investor and not in the course of any employment, trade or profession which you may carry on. ADVFN reserve the right to retroactively apply professional subscription charges to your account if given sufficient reason to doubt your Private Investor status.

These terms and conditions together with the duly completed registration form and payment method instructions, if any, are the whole agreement between you and ADVFN. You acknowledge that you have not entered into this agreement in reliance upon any warranty or representation made by ADVFN. ADVFN may from time to time make changes to these terms and conditions and payment rates which will be set out on ADVFN's internet site not less than 14 days before they are intended to take effect. Unless you inform ADVFN by post or e-mail that you object to the proposed changes and wish to terminate your subscription within this 14 day period, you will be deemed to accept the proposed changes.
Any notice from ADVFN to you may be delivered by e-mail or post to you at your last known address. Evidence of sending a notice (either electronically or otherwise) shall be taken as evidence of delivery. This agreement shall be governed by English Law. All disputes arising from or in connection with this agreement shall be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts. If any term of this agreement is held to be illegal or unenforceable the validity and enforceability of the remainder shall continue in full force and effect. 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.
