The past performance of an investment instrument is not necessarily indicative of its future performance. Investments in foreign currencies are also subject to exchange rate fluctuations.

All information and data available through this website, including but not limited to financial market data, price data, news, research or other financial information, are based on sources believed to be reliable and have been carefully selected. All available information is provided to the user on an "as is" basis without any representations or warranties, express or implied, as to quality, originality, infringement of intellectual property or fitness for a particular purpose. The information provided also does not constitute a guarantee that specific services and/or specific products will be available.

6. no liability
We make no representations or warranties regarding access to or use of our or any third party websites or the timeliness, accuracy or completeness of the information provided on the website. To the extent permitted by law, any liability of Aquila and its directors, employees or agents for direct or indirect damages, including consequential damages and lost profits, arising out of information provided on our website or directly or indirectly related to the use of our website and the information contained therein or to the risks of the financial markets is excluded. To the extent permitted by law, this exclusion of liability also covers liability due to negligence and also applies if we inform about the possibility of such consequences or if such consequences were foreseeable. The exclusion of liability then also applies to all damages that can be attributed to the fact that third parties have manipulated our website.

7. no orders
The input fields/contact forms contained on our website are not available for placing or revoking orders (e.g. orders/cancellations to buy/sell investment instruments) or other authorizations to us. Orders/cancels issued in this way will not be executed by us - even without corresponding feedback to the sender - and no effective contract will be concluded with us.

8. potential conflicts of interest
We cannot exclude the possibility that we ourselves or our directors or employees have in the past invested, are currently investing or will in the future invest in investment instruments about which our website contains information. Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that we have provided services to the issuers of such investment instruments in the past, are currently providing services to them or will provide services to them in the future and that our employees or directors have acted, are acting or will act for the issuers of such investment instruments, for example, as directors. We therefore cannot exclude the possibility that we or our directors or employees may have an interest in the future price performance of investment instruments.

Downloading or printing elements of our website does not transfer any rights, especially no rights related to software and trademarks. Copyright notices and trademarks may not be altered or removed.
