The Sites are owned and operated by CI and IIS.

Intellectual Property Protection

The term "Intellectual Property Rights" (“IPR”) means, copyrights, database rights, trade marks, trade names, domain names, rights in logos, designs, get-up and content, inventions, trade secrets and know-how, patents, all rights of whatever nature in computer software and data, all rights of privacy and all intangible rights and privileges of a nature similar to any of the above, in every case in any part of the world and whether or not registered, granted or pending registration, and all rights to make applications for registration in respect of any of the same.

All IPR in the Content and design of the Sites and any material e-mailed to you or otherwise supplied to you in conjunction with our online products are the property of CI and IIS. You may not use or reproduce any CI or IIS IPR or breach any IPR, including any trademarks, registered or unregistered, (such as, but not limited to, the "Investing for Growth" (“IFG”) name and logo or other trade names appearing on the Sites) for any reason without written permission from CI or IIS.

The software, which operates the Sites, is proprietary software and you may not use it except as expressly allowed under these Terms. You may not copy, reverse engineer, modify or otherwise deal with the software.

Use of CI and IIS Content

You may retrieve and display Content on a computer screen or mobile telephone, print individual pages on paper (but not photocopy them) and store such pages in electronic form for your personal, non-commercial use. If you do download material from the site all copyright and other notices must be kept intact.

Except as expressly set out above, you may not reproduce, modify or in any way commercially exploit any of the Content of the Sites. In particular, you may not do any of the following without prior written permission. No parts of any CI or IIS publications or Sites may be reproduced, stored in or introduced into any retrieval system, or transmitted, in any form or by any means, electronically loss or theft of any username, password or ID or any unauthorised use of a username, password, ID, or any other login details. CI and IIS reserve the right to monitor and record activity on the Sites, including permission of the copyright owners. You may not reverse engineer, modify, decompile, disassemble or translate the Content (whether for the purpose of error correction or otherwise). You may not display the Content on a public bulletin board, ftp site, website, chat room or by any other unauthorized means. Written materials provided in printed or electronic form may not be modified, adapted, translated, or used to create derivative works without the prior written consent of CI or IIS.

Any use of Content not specifically permitted above is expressly prohibited. Requests for permission for other uses must be made in writing and may be subject to a fee.

Licence Fee, Payment, and Transactions

Access to certain Content may be subject to a fee or subscription. All payments (including applicable taxes) must be made in advance in a currency specified by CI or IIS. You are responsible for the payment of all charges associated with the use of the Sites using your Username, Password or ID.
There may be from time to time opportunities to use the Sites to purchase products or services from third party suppliers. In that event, your contract for such products will be with the third party provider and not with CI or IIS.

All refunds that relate to CI or IIS products or services are at the discretion of CI and IIS, other than the publication IFG for which the following applies:
If you wish to cancel your subscription within the first 30 days of taking out your subscription, for whatever reason, you are at liberty to do so in writing and claim a full, no-questions-asked refund. Any requests for a refund, after this initial 30 day period relating to IFG, will not normally be approved and approval will then remain at the discretion of CI and IIS.

Any product specific offers, conditions or terms are stated at the point of purchase for that product.

Terms and Termination

CI and IIS may, at its discretion, terminate or suspend individual or group access to all or part of the Sites (including any right to access and use Content) with or without breach or cause by delivering notice to you in writing. The rights of termination are in addition to all other rights or remedies of CI and IIS provided in these Terms or by law.

Changes to the Site

CI and IIS reserves the right, in its discretion, to suspend, change, modify, add or remove portions of Content available on the Sites at any time and to restrict the use and accessibility of the Sites by delivering notice to you in writing.

Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the high quality and accuracy of the Sites, CI and IIS make no warranty, express or implied and gives no indemnity whatsoever concerning the Content of the Sites, which is provided "as is". CI and IIS expressly disclaims all express or implied indemnities and warranties, including but not limited to warranties of fitness for a particular purpose and warranties of satisfactory quality. In no event will CI and IIS, its affiliates or other suppliers be liable for direct, special, incidental, or consequential damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of business information or other pecuniary loss) arising directly or indirectly from the use of (or failure to use) or reliance on the Content, even if CI and IIS has been advised of the possibility that such damages may arise. CI and IIS do not guarantee the accuracy or timeliness of the Content appearing on the Sites, or that the Sites or related systems are free from viruses or other contaminating or destructive properties. In the event that CI and IIS incur any liability whatsoever, the aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount that you originally paid for the service or any other costs (legal or otherwise incurred). Except in respect of fraudulent misrepresentation, this Agreement together with any order form and payment method instructions set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein. Any prior written or verbal agreements are superseded by this Agreement.

CI and IIS, its affiliates and its information providers will not be liable or deemed to be in default for any delay or failure in performance or interruption of the delivery of Content resulting directly or indirectly from any cause or circumstance beyond its or their reasonable control, including but not limited to failure of electronic or mechanical equipment or communication lines, telephone or other interconnect problems, computer viruses, unauthorised access, theft, operator errors, severe weather, earthquakes or natural disasters, strikes or other labour problems, wars, or governmental restrictions.

Links To Third Party Websites

The Sites may contain links and pointers to Internet sites maintained by third parties. CI and IIS do not operate or control in any respect any information, products or services on such third party sites. Links are provided solely for your convenience, and do not constitute any endorsement of whatever kind by CI and IIS and/or its suppliers. You assume sole responsibility for use of third party links and pointers.

These Terms shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law. The parties irrevocably agree that the courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute, which may arise out of, under, or in connection with these Terms or the legal relationship established by them, and for those purposes irrevocably submit all disputes to the jurisdiction of the English courts.
