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

The contents of the ZP Web pages may be amended at any time and without prior notice. The market and investment reports on these Web pages are produced by ZP staff based on information from sources deemed to be reliable. However, ZP offers no guarantee with regard to the content of these reports, which must not be regarded as complete descriptions or summaries of the securities, markets or trends mentioned therein. ZP 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 Despite its best efforts, this information may nevertheless be out of date or based on incorrect data provided by third parties. ZP therefore accepts no liability (including vis-à-vis third parties) for the information provided being up to date, accurate, correct and complete. In particular ZP is not obliged to remove information from its websites that is no longer current or to explicitly identify such information. It is not permitted to retransmit the contents of the websites and pass them on in full or in extract form.

​

The fact that a user accesses the websites does not make him a client of ZP.

5. ZP investment products are not licensed for public distribution in all countries of the world

The information contained on the ZP Web pages is not aimed at specific persons; it is intended as general information for readers interested in ZP investment products. Investment products should in any case only be acquired after a detailed study of the current sales prospectuses including the investment regulations and the annual or semi-annual reports. ZP investment products are not licensed for distribution in all countries of the world. The ZP Web pages are not intended for persons who are subject to a jurisdiction that prohibits the publication of or access to ZP Web pages (due to the nationality of the person concerned, his domicile or for other reasons). Persons affected by such restrictions are not permitted to access the ZP Web pages.

In particular ZP investment products have not been registered in accordance with investment companies under the United States Investment Company Act of 1940 (current version) and these securities have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”). ZP investment products are not offered, sold or delivered in the USA or to US persons (according to the definition in Regulation S of the Act). Nothing herein constitutes an offer or solicitation of an offer to invest in such products in the USA or to US citizens.

Within the meaning of this document the term “USA” includes the United States of America, all its constituent states, territories and possessions as well as all areas under its jurisdiction.

In the United Kingdom only collective investments that are licensed or registered for public distribution in the country may be offered and distributed publicly. ZP investment products are not registered in the United Kingdom. The information on the ZP Web pages is therefore not aimed at British investors (UK residents).

​

​

10. Exclusion of liability

ZP expressly accepts no liability for losses or damages of any kind arising from using or accessing the ZP websites or links to third-party websites or from viewing information on its Web pages. Furthermore, ZP accepts no liability for any unauthorized manipulation of users' IT systems. ZP expressly draws users' attention to the risk of vi-ruses and the threat of hacker attacks.

​

​

11. Data protection and data transfer security

ZP 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. ZP 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 or prospective accounts and 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. ZP 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 ZP via other means of communication.

The ZP websites uses cookies in order to obtain information about its use. Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer. Cookies store settings that you apply on the ZP websites (e.g. the country of residence you select) so that certain information does not need to be re-entered when you visit the ZP website again. You can block the use of cookies by applying the appropriate settings in your Internet browser and deleting any cookies already set by the ZP website.

By refraining from taking these steps, you consent to the use of cookies when accessing the ZP websites.

​

When accessing the ZP websites, access data is stored (e.g. log files, IP address, date and time of access, name of the file retrieved, access status, page from which access is gained, top-level domain, web browser used, operating system used). ZP and its group companies outside of Switzerland (“Zuger Partners Group”) use this data for statistical purposes, for technical analyses, for the purposes of fine-tuning the server infrastructure, to determine how often the website is accessed and to draw conclusions that will enable improving its user-friendliness and functionality.

​

If personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail address in connection with a contact form or the ordering of publications) has to be collected and processed in order to use the ZP websites, the personal data will be used for authentication purposes and stored on a data carrier of Zuger Partners Group in Switzerland. Data that you enter into the relevant text or search fields on the ZP websites is also stored and processed by ZP and ZP Group. This data is used according to its intended purpose. If, in specific cases, your express consent is required in order to process data, you will find a note to that effect in the place concerned.

Within ZP Group, personal data will be transmitted and saved in a protected environment. The appropriate measures will be taken by ZP Group to ensure that personal data cannot be seen by unauthorized third parties.

​

​

12. Risks

Positive past performance is not a guarantee of positive performance in the future. The risk of price and foreign currency losses and of fluctuations in return as a result of unfavorable exchange rate movements cannot be ruled out. There is a possibility that investors will not recover the full amount they initially invested. The commission and costs levied when units are issued or redeemed are charged to the investor on an individual basis and are therefore not taken into account in the performance illustrated.

We must explicitly point out that certain investments are subject to a high level of volatility. These types of investments, for instance derivatives, can be exposed to significant price fluctuations, the extent of which corresponds to or even exceeds the amount invested.

Certain special investments may not be directly marketable. It can therefore be difficult for investors to sell such investments, take the profit on them or receive reliable information on their value or risk exposure.
When buying or selling investments entailing a contingent liability you may not only lose the amount you invested, but also be required to pay an additional amount.

Furthermore, prospective investors should inform themselves of the potential tax implications of purchasing, owning and selling investment products in their place of domicile and, if necessary, seek advice locally.

​

​

13. Severability clause

The invalidity, illegality or ineffectiveness of one or more provisions of these terms and conditions of use does not affect the binding nature of the terms and conditions as a whole.

​

​

14. Applicable law and place of jurisdiction

The user’s access to and use of the Zuger Partners Web pages and this legal information are governed by Swiss law. Zug shall be the exclusive place of jurisdiction.
