TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE

The information included on the following webpages is exclusively addressed to persons who are residents of the Kingdom of Sweden and must not be distributed to persons or accessed by persons outside this country.

The user agrees to discontinue use of these webpages if, now or in the future, he or she ceases to be located in the above mentioned country.

In relation to the offering of the products described on this website, see also paragraph “Selling restrictions” below.

These webpages serve solely to give the user access to information that Bank Vontobel Europe AG, Frankfurt branch (referred to collectively with affiliates as "Vontobel") has decided to make publicly available, and do not constitute and are not to be construed as, a solicitation or offer by Vontobel, to purchase, subscribe for or sell securities. Investors are not able to purchase, subscribe or sell the securities described on these webpages directly from Vontobel, but through their own bank/intermediary only.

The use of these webpages shall not create a contractual relationship with Vontobel extending beyond these Terms and Conditions of Use. In particular, the information presented on these webpages shall not be deemed to be an offer by Vontobel to enter into an advisory agreement or any other contract to provide information either on a gratuitous or non-gratuitous basis. In light of this, the user's visit to these webpages or retrieval of information contained therein shall not bring about a contract between Vontobel and the user to provide information.

Neither the information on these webpages nor information which users receive through the hotline shall constitute any investment, tax or other advisory service. Such information does not take into account the user's specific situation as regards, inter alia, his or her knowledge of the relevant securities, investment targets and risk appetite, financial situation as well as his or her tax and accounting position. Such information does not replace the advice by your bank/intermediary or any other tax or financial adviser, which is essential in each individual case prior to taking any purchasing, subscribing or selling decision.

Users should direct any objections or complaints relating to these webpages in writing to the following address:

Bank Vontobel Europe AG
Niederlassung Frankfurt am Main
Bockenheimer Landstraße 24
60323 Frankfurt am Main
Germany

Information provided on the webpages does not constitute financial analysis and also does not satisfy the statutory requirements for ensuring the unbiased nature of financial analysis; nor is such information subject to a ban on trading prior to the publication of financial analyses.

The purchase/subscription of securities is associated with financial risks. Given unfavourable conditions, such risks may materialise and lead to a total loss of the invested capital. Potential investors should carefully read the base prospectus, the relevant final terms and any supplements to the base prospectus in order to understand the risks associated with an investment in the securities. Potential investors should consult their own bank/intermediary or any other tax or financial adviser prior to taking any purchasing, subscribing or selling decision.

The price information contained in these webpages originates either from third-party sources such as financial information service providers or has been calculated by Vontobel itself and should not be relied upon to predict future values or prices.

In some cases, current prices of securities or underlyings may be shown with a time delay. Users can find additional price information, in particular information pertaining to the past price performance of the underlying, at the place referred to in the prospectus for the relevant security. Historical price performance is not a reliable indicator of future price performance of the underlying or the securities. It should be noted that Vontobel provides no warranty for the accuracy of the price information and that price information shall be subject to correction at any time (see also with respect to the exclusion of warranty in paragraph “No warranty for content” below). Potential investors should consult their own bank/intermediary or any other tax or financial adviser prior to taking any purchasing, subscribing or selling decision.

On these webpages, all information concerning returns, such as bonus or maximum returns, refers to gross returns which do not factor in costs that will be incurred and, unless expressly indicated otherwise, in taxes to be paid by the relevant investor. Investors will, in fact, incur costs and taxes which diminish returns. These include, for example, securities account costs or transaction costs. The extent of the impact of any such costs and tax on the net return depends on the amount of the investment and the costs and tax actually incurred by the relevant investor. Potential investors should consult their own bank/intermediary and/or any other tax or financial adviser prior to taking any purchasing, subscribing or selling decision.

If required by applicable laws or if Vontobel decides to make available without the obligation to do so, Key Information Documents (KIDs) can be retrieved on these webpages on the relevant product detail site under the "Documents" section.

To the extent the user retrieves a KID, Vontobel shall be entitled – but not required – to store user data (in particular the IP address, provider and the referrer URL), the time of access and the contents of the KID transmitted to the user. Such storage serves to satisfy regulatory requirements, and the stored data may also be used in the context of legal disputes between the user or other investors and Vontobel. The data privacy policy also refers to this data. Prospectus

Users considering the purchase/subscription of securities described on these webpages should carefully read the base prospectus, which, in addition to the final terms and any supplements to the base prospectus, is published on these webpages (see the "Prospectuses" heading and the relevant product detail site) and which is obtainable free of charge from the issuer, Vontobel Financial Products GmbH, Bockenheimer Landstraße 24, 60323 Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

It should be noted that, from time to time, Vontobel purchases or sells securities, commodities, futures and options for hedging and other purposes, or holds positions (long or short) in these which are identical to or connected with such securities. This may possibly have an adverse impact on the value of the securities. In addition, Vontobel may be the calculation agent or sponsor of underlyings and, as such, may make determinations which adversely affect the value of the securities.

Vontobel may pay commissions to distribution partners in connection with the distribution of any securities. Such commission payments will reduce the return the investor is able to achieve. If commissions are paid, you will find information pertaining to the amount of these commission payments in the relevant final terms.
