Disclosures & Disclaimers:
By accessing Jonathan Poland Online you acknowledge that:
You hereby acknowledge and agree that:
a. Neither Jonathan Poland Online nor any of its owners, directors, officers, employees, agents, independent contractors or affiliates (collectively “Affiliates”) are registered as an investment adviser. Rather, Jonathan Poland and its Affiliates rely upon the "publisher's exclusion" from the definition of "investment adviser" as provided under Section 202(a)(11) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and corresponding state securities laws. The Site and Services are bona fide publications of general and regular circulation offering impersonalized investment-related information to users and/or prospective users (e.g., not tailored to the specific investment needs of current and/or prospective users). To the extent any of the content published as part of the Site or Services may be deemed to be investment advice, such information is impersonal and not tailored to the investment needs of any specific person.
b. Jonathan Poland Online will not evaluate your individual financial condition, investment portfolio, investment experience, age, income, tax bracket, risk tolerance, investment objectives or other similar factors (referred to as “Individual Financial Requirements”).
c. The Site and Services are currently limited to the dissemination of impersonal investment-related information pertaining to Jonathan Poland Online's proprietary analyses, together with access to additional impersonal investment-related information and links. By its nature, this analysis does not contemplate the user’s Individual Financial Requirements.
d. The Site and Services do not offer and users do not receive initial or ongoing individual personalized investment advice, investment reporting, investment supervisory or investment management services, nor the ongoing review or monitoring of the user's individual investment portfolio. Rather, the Site and Services are designed solely to provide users with a method to identify and evaluate potential trends and obtain information on market analysis, current events, trade methodology, and other related information. Therefore, each user hereby agrees that use of the Site or any Service is not a substitute for ongoing individual personalized advice from an investment professional of the user's choosing.
e. Each user hereby agrees that he/she/it should independently evaluate and determine whether to act upon any information provided through the Site or Services (including without limitation, individual “picks”, recommendations or trends) based on the user’s Individual Financial Requirements. Further, each user hereby acknowledges that neither Jonathan Poland Online nor any of its Affiliates will advise you personally concerning the nature, potential or suitability of any particular trend, security, portfolio of securities, transaction, investment strategy or other similar matter.
f. Certain portions of the Site and certain Services (i.e. newsletters, articles, commentaries, etc.) may contain a discussion of, and/or provide access to, positions of Jonathan Poland Online or its Affiliates and/or their “picks” or recommendations. Due to various factors, including, but not limited to, changing market conditions, such position, discussion, pick or recommendation may only be valid for a specific moment in time (day, hour, minute or tick of the tape). Thus, each user hereby agrees to independently evaluate and determine whether to act upon any such information. Moreover, no user or prospective user should assume that any such discussion serves as the receipt of, or a substitute for, individual personalized advice from an investment professional of his/her/its choosing.
g. You acknowledge that news, information and performance data available through the Site or any Service is supplied by sources believed to be reliable but that Jonathan Poland Online undertakes no responsibility to verify the accuracy or completeness of such information or to update such information. Further, the Site or Services may contain ideas, recommendations, opinions, news or information which are incomplete or dated. As markets change continuously, previously published trends, recommendations, news information and data may not be current and should not be relied upon.
h. To the extent that the Site or any Service contains a “model portfolio”, such model portfolio is to be construed as developed based upon a particular investment strategy but not developed for any user’s Individual Financial Requirements. Further, the actual results of the portfolio, as well as a user’s actual results may differ substantially from the stated investment strategy.
i. Past performance may not be indicative of future results. Therefore, no current or prospective user should assume that the future performance of any idea, pick, recommendation, specific investment, investment strategy, product or service made or referenced directly or indirectly through the Site or Services will be profitable or otherwise provide equal historical or anticipated performance level(s).
j. Different types of securities and investments involve varying degrees of risk, and there can be no assurance that any specific trend, security, investment or investment strategy referenced directly or indirectly through the Site or Services will be suitable for a user's and/or prospective user's investment portfolio.
k. You acknowledge and agree that the Site and Services may contain picks, recommendations or opinions that may be different from those obtained through other portions of the Site or other Services and that Jonathan Poland Online or its Affiliates and third party service providers may, from time to time, have long and short positions in, or buy or sell the securities, or derivatives thereof, of companies referenced through the Site or Services and may take positions inconsistent with the views expressed through the Site or Services.
l. The actual results of any alert, pick, recommendation, investment or investment strategy will vary depending on execution time, speed and quality, market liquidity, commissions and other fees, and general market conditions and volatility.
m. Jonathan Poland Online and its Affiliates do not posses and do not desire any material non-public information regarding any company. Such information will not be provided or accepted by Jonathan Poland Online or any of its Affiliates.
n. Jonathan Poland and its Affiliates do not offer or provide investment implementation services.
o. The Site and Services do not establish a fiduciary relationship.
p. The publication of the Site or Services should not be construed by any user and/or prospective user as a solicitation to effect, or attempt to effect transactions in securities by any person or entity.
