Disclaimer

Before you use our on-line services available at our website for effecting transactions under your securities account with us, you are strongly recommended to read the following carefully. You will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed to the following when you give instructions for securities transactions under your securities account through our on-line services at this website: -

a. While every care has been taken in preparing the information and materials contained in this site, such information and materials are provided to you "as is" without warranty or representation of any kind, express or implied. In particular, no warranty or representation regarding non-infringement, security, accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose or freedom from computer virus, Trojan horses, worms, software bombs or similar items is given in conjunction with such information and materials.

b. The price of securities can and does fluctuate, and any individual security may experience upward and downward movements, and may under some circumstances become valueless. There is an inherent risk that losses may be incurred rather than profit made as a result of buying and selling securities. This is a risk that you agree to accept.

c. Our Company and its employees shall have no responsibilities or liabilities for the completeness, accuracy and validity of the contents of any documents or instructions relating to securities issued by third party(ies) to our Company. Any indication of investment shall not constitute any recommendation for the purchase and/or sale of securities. You shall conduct your own independent assessment and research on the contents of those documents or instruments. The securities prices for securities services are provided by the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong and other information provider(s) as selected by our Company. Whilst our Company and the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong and/or the other information provider(s) do not guarantee the accuracy and reliability of such information and shall not be responsible for any losses suffered by you as a result of inaccuracy and incompleteness of the information.

d. The internet is, due to unpredictable traffic congestion and other reasons, an inherently unreliable medium of communication and that such unreliability is beyond our control. There may also be delays or outages in our on-line services system due to the necessity of system upgrades or changes or some other possible causes. As a result of such unreliability, there may be failure or delays in the transmission and receipt of instructions, and this may result in failure or delays in the execution of instructions and/or the execution of instructions at prices different from those prevailing at the time the instructions were given. Further, there are risks of incorrect input, interception, interruption or transmission blackout of instructions as well as of misunderstanding or errors in any communication. Such risks shall be absolutely borne by you and we are not responsible in any manner for any direct, indirect, special or consequential losses in connection therewith. You further agree that it is not usually possible to cancel an instruction after it has been given.

e. You and, where applicable, the authorised user shall be fully responsible for any accidental or unauthorised disclosure of any user name and/or password to any other person and shall bear the risks of any user name and/or password being used by unauthorised persons or for unauthorised purposes.

f. Upon notice or suspicion of any user name and/or password being disclosed or has otherwise come into the possession or control of any unauthorized person or any unauthorized use of the services being made, you and, where applicable, the authorised user shall notify our Company in person as soon as practicable or by telephone or in such other manner as our Company may from time to time prescribe (and our Company may ask you to confirm in writing any details given) and, until our Company's actual receipt of such notification, you and, where applicable, the authorised user shall remain responsible for any and all use of the services by unauthorized persons or for unauthorised purposes.

g. Neither of our Company or any information provider warrants or represents that the services, the information or the reports are free from virus or other destructive features which may adversely affect the hardware, software or equipment of you and, where applicable, the authorised user.

h. If you use more than one channel (such as 1) Telephone order(s) to your account executive and 2) internet trading system) at the same time to lay and execute your trading order(s), the transaction data might be processed by different information systems. Hence, the read-time information in your on-line account(s) might not be the most updated to reflect your trading history in different information systems and you will be deemed to have acknowledged about it.

i. In the event of system delays or outages mentioned above, you may contact our customer service officer at 2297-9888 to arrange for placing of your intended orders through other means.
