14. ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND DISCLAIMERS.
14.1. Investments and trading involve risks, including possible loss of principal and other losses, and is not suitable for everyone. The iX-7 Asset Management SA System, including the Related Services and Data, are designed, provided and/or presented chiefly to provide a tool for the understanding of the financial markets. They are licensed to the subscriber with the understanding that neither Licensor nor the Data Suppliers are engaged in rendering any investment, trading or other professional advice. If investment, trading or other professional advice is required, the services of a competent, licensed professional should be sought. No employee, agent or representative of Licensor, any Data Supplier or any of their respective affiliates is authorized to provide any such advice of any nature whatever, and any such advice, if given, is in violation of Licensor’s and such Data Suppliers’ policies, is unauthorized and may not be relied upon. The use of any trading system or strategy, including any system or strategy included as a sample in, or that is or was developed using, the Related Services or any of the Data, does not and cannot guarantee that subscribers will make profits, increase profits or minimize losses. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT A RELIABLE INDICATOR OF FUTURE RESULTS. PERFORMANCE FORECASTS ARE NOT A RELIABLE INDICATOR OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. Indeed, trading results based upon hypothetical or historically tested trading strategies or systems do not necessarily compare to results of actual trading. No hypothetical or historical trading record can account for the level of risk present in actual trading. Numerous factors relating to market conditions, the existence or nonexistence of specific events or circumstances, human error, human/emotional reaction to losses during actual trading, inherent limitations of certain hypothetical or historically tested models, volume of trade and liquidity differences between hypothetical models and actual trades, and other supply/demand differences that may not be addressed by hypothetical models; and other conditions and circumstances can account for these differences. There is no guarantee that subscribers’’ hypothetical trading results, even if tested against historical data, will produce comparable actual trading results. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical or historically tested performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading system or strategy. The possible reasons for this include the likelihood that no trading strategy or system can, even with automated trading, be precisely executed as designed. Also, subscribers should be aware that certain commonly used trading “jargon,” including trading terms, such as, for example, a “limited risk” position, should not be taken literally. For example, so-called “limited risk” positions in certain options trades are not in fact as limited as may be expected. Again, with respect to matters such as these, a licensed professional should be consulted.

14.2. ALL CONTENTS OF THE iX-7 ASSET MANAGEMENT SA SYSTEM ARE PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION ONLY. THE RELATED SERVICES ARE NOT INTENDED OR PREPARED TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED OR INTERPRETED BY SUBSCRIBERS AS INVESTMENT ADVICE, AS AN ENDORSEMENT OF ANY SECURITY, OR AS AN OFFER TO BUY OR SELL ANY SECURITY. iX-7 ASSET MANAGEMENT SA IS NOT A REGISTERED SECURITY DEALER OR FINANCIAL ADVISOR. iX-7 ASSET MANAGEMENT SA IS NOT REGULATED BY THE SWISS FINANCIAL MARKET SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY, FINMA. iX-7 ASSET MANAGEMENT SA DOES NOT PROVIDE INVESTMENT ADVICE AND DOES NOT REPRESENT ITSELF AS A QUALIFIED INVESTMENT ADVISOR OR PROPERLY LICENSED PARTY. SUBSCRIBERS BEAR COMPLETE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN INVESTMENT RESEARCH AND DECISIONS, AND SHOULD SEEK THE ADVICE OF AN INDEPENDENT QUALIFIED INVESTMENT PROFESSIONAL PRIOR TO MAKING INVESTMENT DECISIONS.

14.3. SUBSCRIBERS ALSO UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, FROM TIME TO TIME, iX-7 ASSET MANAGEMENT SA AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES AND ANY OR ALL OF THE INFORMATION PROVIDERS OR THEIR AFFILIATES MAY HOLD POSITIONS IN SECURITIES MENTIONED, AND THAT THEY MAY TRADE FOR THEIR OWN ACCOUNT BASED ON THIS INFORMATION. SUBSCRIBERS AND VISITORS TO iX-7 ASSET MANAGEMENT SA AND ALL OF ITS AFFILIATED WEBSITES SHOULD ASSUME AT ALL TIMES THAT ANY AND ALL POSITIONS DISCUSSED, LISTED, AND/OR REFERRED TO OR APPEARING AT THE WEBSITE MAY ALSO BE CURRENTLY OWNED BY iX-7 ASSET MANAGEMENT SA AND ITS AFFILIATES, AND THAT SUCH POSITIONS MAY CHANGE AT ANY TIME.
