Legal Notice
By accessing and using this website, you agree to the following terms of use:
1. Jurisdiction
The information provided on this site is not intended for distribution
to, or use by, any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where
such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or that
would subject Man Group plc or our affiliates ("we" or "us"),
to any regulation under, or registration requirement within, such jurisdiction
or country. Products or services described herein may not be available
in all jurisdictions.
2. Non-Solicitation
Neither the information, nor any opinion contained in this site, constitutes
a solicitation or offer by us to buy or to sell any securities, futures,
options or other financial instruments or to provide any investment
advice or service.
3. Suitability of Investment
We do not provide advice concerning the suitability or value of any
particular investment in securities, futures or options or regarding
any investment strategy, nor do we endorse or recommend products or
the securities of companies that manufacture products whose advertisements
may be available through our website.
4. Order Capacity
System response times may vary due to a variety of factors, including
trading volumes, market conditions, and system performance.
5. Technological Failures
We shall not be liable in any way for any inaccuracy, error or delay
in or omission of any information or the transmission or delivery of
any information, or for any loss or damage arising from or occasioned
by any such inaccuracy, error, delay or omission, or for any non-performance
or interruption of information due to any act or omission, or for any
force majeure (i.e. flood, extraordinary weather condition, earthquake,
or other act of God, fire, war, insurrection, riot, labor dispute, accident,
action of government, communications, power failure or equipment or
software malfunction) or any other cause beyond our reasonable control.
6. Trading
Trading securities, futures and options is a volatile and complex business
that involves risk of loss. The valuation of such instruments may fluctuate,
and, as a result, you may incur significant losses. Before you trade,
you should consider your financial experience, goals and financial resources
and know how much you can afford to lose above and beyond your initial
payment. Stock prices can be extremely volatile, especially "hot"
technology and internet stocks.
7. Risks of Margin Trading
If you decide to trade on margin, you should understand that there are
risks involved. A sudden drop in the price of an instrument (i.e., stock,
commodity future or option) could cause you to receive a margin call.
In that case, you would be required to deposit additional collateral
into your account. If you do not respond in a timely manner, the existing
collateral in your account could be sold, or, in the case of futures,
your positions liquidated, in order to cover the call, and you would
be responsible for any losses to your account. To reduce risk, do not
overextend yourself. Maintain account equity well above the minimum
margin maintenance and variation requirements, and be aware that those
requirements can change at any time.
8. Tax Issues The investment services and products mentioned in the site may often have tax consequences; therefore, it is important to bear in mind that we do not provide tax advice. The levels and bases of taxation can change. Your tax affairs are your own responsibility, and you should consult your own attorneys or other tax advisors in order to understand the tax consequences of any products and services mentioned on this site.
