Terms and Conditions of Access

By using this site, you ("User") are agreeing to the terms, conditions, and notices contained within the site, including the following. Ernst & Young LLP (E&Y) may change the terms and conditions from time to time. By continuing to use the site following these modifications, User agrees to be bound by them.

This web site is intended to provide users with information, services, and facilities (such as calculators and software downloads) ("Content") on matters that they may find to be of interest. While reasonable effort has been made to offer current and accurate Content, errors can occur.

E&Y and its employees, agents, successors, assigns, affiliates, contractors, or other suppliers (collectively the "Content Providers") do not guarantee or warrant the completeness, accuracy, timeliness, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose of Content, and the Content Providers shall not be liable to User for any loss, cost, damage, or other injury, whether in contract or tort, arising out of or caused in whole or in part by the Content Providers' errors in procuring, compiling, collecting, interpreting, reporting, communicating, or delivering Content or in otherwise providing services under or in connection with this agreement. The Content is provided AS IS, and User agrees that the use of any Content is solely at User's risk. The Content Providers make no representations about the suitability of Content provided through the site for any purpose.

E&Y does not guarantee that this site, the provision of Content, and any Content downloaded from this site, will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. In addition, changes may be made to the Content from time to time without notice to User.

Laws and regulations will change over time and should be interpreted only in light of particular circumstances. The information presented on this site should not be construed as legal, tax, or accounting advice. User should consult with professional advisors familiar with your particular circumstances and needs, for advice concerning specific tax or other matters before making any decision.

Certain links on this site lead to resources located on servers maintained by other organizations. These links are provided as a convenience and are not endorsed by the Content Providers. It is up to User to take precautions to ensure that information User selects for User's personal use is free of viruses and other items of a destructive nature. The Content Providers are providing no warranty about the accuracy or any other aspect of the information contained on such servers.

In no event will the Content Providers be liable to any party for any direct, indirect, special, punitive, incidental, or other consequential damages for any use of information on this site, including without limitation, the Content, or any other hyperlinked site, including any lost profits, business interruption, loss of programs or data on the user's information handling systems, or otherwise, whether in contract or in tort, even if expressly advised of the possibility of such damages. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to User. In such states, the respective liability of the Content Providers is limited to the greatest extent permitted by such state law.

In no event will the Content Providers be liable to User or any third party for any decision made (or not made) or action taken (or not taken) by User in reliance upon Content.

The Content Providers shall not be responsible for information submitted on the Internet. The Internet may not be a secure environment and messages to and from the site may be observed by a third party while in transit.

User shall be responsible for maintaining the secrecy of the password that User selects for access to the site. User shall additionally be responsible for any unauthorized use of User's account.

All analyses provided by this web site are based on information provided by the User, and rely on the correctness and accuracy of that information.

All investment information is provided by Ernst & Young LLP under the supervision of Ernst & Young Investment Advisers LLP, a registered investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A copy of Ernst & Young Investment Advisers LLP ADV Part II, or a document containing similar information, can be obtained at no cost by sending a written request to: National Compliance Officer, c/o Ernst & Young Investment Advisers LLP, 200 Plaza Drive, Suite 2222, Secaucus, NJ 07094.

No part of the text or graphics on this site may be reproduced, retransmitted, or otherwise redistributed in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including by photocopying, facsimile transmission, recording, rekeying, or using any information storage and retrieval system, without written permission from E&Y.

User understands that any information submitted to the site by users will become the property of E&Y. Please see our Privacy Policy for information about how E&Y will treat this information.

Except as otherwise noted, all trademarks, service marks, and trade names (collectively, the "Marks") on this site are proprietary to the Content Providers, or other respective owners which have granted to them the right to license and use such Marks. Any questions concerning the use of these Marks or whether a name is in fact a Mark of the Content Providers should be referred to E&Y or EYPS.

Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or products or services that the Content Providers have or have not provided to User ("dispute") will be resolved in accordance with Ernst & Young's Alternative Dispute Resolution Procedures ("Procedures") as in effect on the date of this notice. Under the Procedures, any disputes that are not settled by agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration, instead of in court. Arbitration under the Procedures is significantly different than litigation in court, and certain kinds of relief that might be available from a court may not be available under the Procedures. User may receive a copy of the Procedures by requesting them from E&Y.

This Agreement embodies the entire understanding between the User and E&Y with respect to use of this site and supersedes any and all prior understandings and agreements, oral or written, relating thereto. No amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless it is in written form and presented on this page of the site. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by a court to be void, invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, the validity and enforceability of the other provisions shall not be affected. This agreement shall be governed and construed under the law of the State of New York, without reference to choice of law principles.
