If you do not accept these User Terms and Conditions, you are not allowed to use the information made available about EIP’s products.
2. Important general information
The data on this website is for your information only. It does not constitute investment advice, or advice on tax or legal matters. Nor does it contain any offer, recommendation or incitement to make investment decisions of any kind, e.g. to invest in funds or other structures or to conclude any other kind of contract. In particular, this information should not be used as a substitute for suitable investment and product-related advice. As a user of this website, you agree that the information contained herein will not be the primary basis of any investment decisions and that this website does not contain an exhaustive list of all risks related to the financial products discussed herein.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, all pricing information is non-binding.
With respect to information on investment vehicles, please note that the sole basis for purchase is in each case the relevant sales prospectus, including the contract terms and conditions and the latest audited annual report. These sales documents may be obtained free of charge from the custodian bank of the investment vehicle, from paying agents, or from EIP. [Before you invest in any investment vehicle, you should carefully read the offering documentation of that investment vehicle, including the section(s) regarding risks, and consult with a qualified financial advisor prior to investing.]
Investments in financial instruments may involve a high degree of complexity and risk, or may be subject to fluctuations due to various factors. Investors must therefore be ready and able to accept losses on their invested capital. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
3. Sales restrictions
The information contained in this website is intended for investors only in countries/jurisdictions in which the investment vehicles have been approved for sale. The information is not intended for publication or use by persons or entities in a country where the investment vehicles are not permitted for sale. If documents are made available in English, this does not mean that a distribution license has been granted or applied for. Further details are available on request.
With respect to information on investment vehicles, you are required to strictly follow the selling restrictions contained in the relevant offering documentation.

9. Copyright and trademark rights
All rights, titles and claims (including copyright, brands, patents and other intellectual property or other rights) in, for and from all information and content (including all text, data, graphics and logos) on this website are fully subject to the respective current regulations and to the property rights of the respective registered owners. Use of this website does not confer any rights to the content. The copyright for the published content created by EIP itself remains with EIP. No such content, including graphics, sound files, video clips and text, may be duplicated or used, either wholly or in part, in any other electronic or print publication or in any other form without the written permission of EIP.

The integration of EIP websites into a framework structure (frames) is permitted only after written agreement in advance from EIP.
10. Communication by email
The internet is publicly accessible, which means that ordinary emails sent via the internet are neither confidential nor secure: it is possible that they may be viewed, captured or modified by third parties, or get lost. Emails may cross borders, even if both sender and receiver are in the same country. You should therefore refrain from sending personal or confidential information, particularly account information, by email. EIP is not liable either to you or to other persons for losses arising from messages sent by ordinary email or any other electronic messaging system. When sending confidential information, therefore, you are advised to use a password protection or encrypted messages.

This exclusion of liability also applies to direct or indirect compensation claims, claims in tort, atypical claims and claims for consequential loss. This exclusion of liability does not apply where it is prohibited by applicable law, or to gross negligence or intentional misconduct on the part of EIP.
