No Investment Advice or Offer
TIQ Information and Services are provided for general information purposes only and do not take into account individual circumstances, any investor’s objectives, financial situations or needs and may not contain all the information that a person may require for a particular purpose such as, for example, in evaluating an investment.
TIQ Information and Services should not be relied upon by potential investors. Potential investors should obtain independent advice from their own independent legal adviser and financial, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors.
Investors should be aware that an investment in any enterprise or any financial product involves an inherent degree of risk. We cannot and do not guarantee the performance of any given investment or financial product.
We do not provide legal, tax or financial advice and we do not hold an Australian financial services (“AFS”) licence. Certain provisions (including the financial product disclosure provisions) of the Corporations Act do not apply to us.
The Website Information is provided solely for general information purposes. It does not constitute, and should not be construed as, an offer to sell, or solicitation of an offer to buy, securities or any other investment, investment management or advisory services, including in any jurisdiction where such offer or solicitation would be illegal. The Website Information does not constitute an information memorandum, prospectus, offer document or similar document in respect of securities or any other investment proposal.
The Website Information has not been and is not intended to be deposited, lodged or registered with, or reviewed or authorised by any regulatory authority in, and no action has been or will be taken in relation to the Website Information that would allow an offering of securities in, any jurisdiction. Neither the Website Information nor any presentation in connection with it will form the basis of any contract with us or any obligation owed by us of any kind whatsoever.
No claim is made as to the accuracy, completeness or currency of TIQ Information and Services at any time. Unless we specifically agree otherwise in writing, we make no statements, representations, or warranties about the accuracy or completeness of, and you should not rely on, any TIQ Information and Services.
Predictions and Past Performance
The TIQ Information and Services may may include simulations, examples or opinions, or statements and estimates in relation to future states of affairs, many of which will be based on subjective judgements, assumptions about future events or circumstances, or our internal modelling. We make no representation that these statements or estimates will prove correct but emphasise that such information is predictive in character and may be affected by a range of factors such as inaccurate assumptions or known or unknown risks and uncertainties. You should independently investigate, consider and satisfy yourself in relation to such matters.
Forecast results may differ materially from results or returns ultimately achieved.
You should also note that past performance may not necessarily be a reliable indicator of future performance.
