This further applies to other websites that can be accessed through hyperlinks. Linchpin assumes no responsibility for the content of this website that can be accessed through such links.

Linchpin uses reasonable efforts to obtain information from reliable sources, but all Publications provided are on an “as is” basis without representation or warranty of any kind (neither express nor implied). Specifically, Linchpin disclaims liability towards any subscriber, client, partner, supplier, counterparty and other recipients for:

· Any delays, inaccuracies, errors, interruption or omission in providing market quotations; and

· Any discontinuance of market quotations.

The Publications of Linchpin are not updated after release and may become inaccurate and possibly misleading after a period of time due to their changing circumstances. Therefore, Linchpin does not guarantee against, and assumes no liability towards, any recipient for a Publication being outdated.

No recommendations

Linchpin does not in any of its Publications take into account any particular recipient’s investment objectives, specific investment goals, financial circumstances and specific needs and demands.

· Any other type of encouragement to act, invest or divest in a particular manner.

Linchpin shall not be responsible for any loss arising from any investment based on a perceived Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary (not even if specifically stated), no Publication (including possible Recommendations) shall be construed as a representation or warranty (neither express nor implied) that the recipient will profit from trading in accordance with a trading strategy set forth in a Publication or that the recipient will not sustain losses from trading in accordance with a trading strategy set forth in a Publication. Linchpin shall only be liable (in accordance with the “Exclusion of Liability” section below) if a possible Recommendation is not of a good professional standard.
