The Website is not destined for individuals or legal entities which are subject to a system of laws or jurisdiction which forbids the publication of, or access to, the Website by virtue of the nationality of the individuals or companies concerned, by virtue of their place of residence or location of their registered office or for other reasons and which could give rise to an obligation for VPWHK to be registered or licensed in such jurisdiction. These individuals are not allowed to access the Website.

In particular, the information on the Website is not intended for individuals or companies having their registered office or place of residence in the United States of America ("US"), who possess the nationality of the US or who can access this website from within the US.

The investment products of VP Bank Group are not authorized or licensed for public distribution in all countries. Information on investment products, particularly investment funds, is therefore not intended for individuals and corporate entities which are subject to a system of laws or jurisdiction which forbids the dissemination of such information or makes it conditional on  the relevant VP Bank Group entity/ies and/or the investment product obtaining the requisite license/s or authorization in such jurisdiction.

In particular, the investment products of VP Bank Group are not registered pursuant to the US Investment Company Act of 1940 and the related securities are not registered pursuant to the US Securities Act of 1933 (the “Law”). Such investment products are not offered, sold or delivered in the US or to US individuals (as defined in Regulation S of the Law). The information on the Website constitutes neither an offer nor a solicitation in the US or to US citizens to invest in the investment products.

No offer or recommendation – non-binding character

The information on the Website is for general information purposes only and does not constitute any recommendation, offer, invitation to offer or solicitation by VPWHK to enter into any transaction or to buy, sell, or hold any security, financial product, instrument or investment or to engage in other transactions or to conclude any legal transaction.

The information on the Website also does not constitute investment, legal, financial or other forms of advice and should not be so relied upon by any person. Professional advice from a qualified specialist on such matters is recommended.

In particular, market and investment reports cannot be considered as complete analyses or summaries of the securities, markets or developments mentioned therein.

Linked websites 

In the case of third-party websites which contain a link to the Website, or which are referred to with a link on the Website, it is to be noted that these are completely beyond the control or influence of VPWHK and VPWHK can assume no responsibility whatsoever for the accuracy, completeness and legality of the contents of these third-party websites as well as for any offers and services contained therein.

Data security

When the Website is accessed or VPWHK is contacted electronically, data relating to website visitor and the originator of the contact are, in principle, transported via an open network accessible to all. Data can therefore be transmitted across borders, even if the visitor or the sender and recipient are in the same country. Such transmission cannot be guaranteed to be secure or error-free as information could be intercepted, corrupted, lost, destroyed, arrive late or incomplete, or contain viruses. VPWHK therefore does not accept any liability (to the extent permitted by law) which may arise as a result of electronic transmission. Finally, it must be pointed out that visits to the Website, or the contacting of VPWHK electronically, can leave traces on the Internet which, under certain circumstances, can serve as an indication of a relationship with VPWHK.

On the Website, special agreements and terms may be stipulated in individual sub-sections, in special informational areas and in relation to individual services. In the event of any conflicting interpretation, these special agreements and terms take precedence over the above terms of use and legal notices.
