Please take time to read this Agreement carefully. By accessing www.iposfactoinvestor.co.uk (“the Site”) the User is agreeing to the terms and conditions below. If the User uses the Site in the course of business the User is also agreeing to these terms and conditions on behalf of that business.

General
Any investment advice or research material on the Site has been prepared for persons in the United Kingdom and is not intended for use or distribution outside the United Kingdom.
This material is not directed at you if the Siteowner is prohibited or restricted by any legislation or regulation in any jurisdiction from making it available to you and in particular is not directed at persons in the United States or Canada.
The investment advice and information contained in the Site does not take account of the User's individual circumstances and level of risk appetite. We cannot therefore provide advice that is tailored to individual circumstances nor can we answer questions thereon. We can, however, answer questions about the content of the Site and questions of a general investment nature.
This Site may not be suitable for all investors. If you are in any doubt as to whether the advice is suitable for you, you should consult an Independent Financial Adviser. In general investing in shares (equities) should be considered a long term investment and unsuitable for you if you wish to realise your investment within five years.
Neither the Siteowner nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall have any liability, howsoever arising, for any error or incompleteness of fact or opinion in the material on the Site or lack of care in its preparation or publication, provided that this shall not exclude liability to the extent that this is impermissable under the law relating to financial services. All statements and opinions are made as of the date on the face of the relevant content and are not held out as applicable thereafter. Asset allocation and research recommendations are given in good faith but without legal responsibility and are subject to change without notice, although we will send out e-mails to subscribers where there are changes to our asset allocation advice or model portfolios.
Services and Fees
The User shall agree to pay any subscription fees (“Fees”) at rates in effect when the charges are incurred. The User must provide the Siteowner with complete and accurate payment information. The User can pay using a credit or debit card (via Stripe) or by setting up a standing order (or pay by BACS/cheque if so invited). By submitting credit or debit card details to the Siteowner the User warrants that they are entitled to purchase the Paid-for Content using those payment details. In the event of an unauthorised payment the Siteowner reserves the right to suspend or terminate the User’s access to the Site and Paid-for Content. If no payment authorisation is received or payment authorisation is subsequently cancelled, the Siteowner may immediately terminate or suspend access to any Paid-for Content and/or the Site. The Siteowner will try to process the User’s request for any Paid-for Content promptly but does not guarantee that the Paid-for Content will be available to the User by any specified time. A contract with the User for a Paid-for Content will come into effect when the Username and Password are issued to the User. The User having paid the Fee for a monthly subscription for the supply of Paid-for Content will have no right of cancellation for the supply of the Paid-for Content other than the right to cancel the next monthly subscription for Paid-for Content which may be done at any time without any notice period. This does not affect the User’s statutory rights.
Each user is only entitled to one two month free trial subscription.
