2. Intended audience and access to the Company's website

No information contained on the Company's website or in the Materials should be taken as a recommendation, offer or invitation to buy, sell, hold or otherwise deal with the shares or other financial instruments of any entity nor is it intended to solicit any such offer or invitation. Nothing on the Company’s website or in the Materials constitutes or is intended to constitute investment or other advice (including, without limitation, legal or tax advice) or investment research and you should not act upon any information contained on the Company’s website or in the Materials without first consulting a financial or other professional adviser.

The information in the Company’s website is only for the attention of individuals who are resident in the United Kingdom for tax and investment purposes. It is your responsibility to be aware of and to observe all applicable law and regulation in the United Kingdom. To the extent that you are not resident in the United Kingdom for tax and investment purposes, do not use this website.

The Company’s website is not intended to offer or to promote the offer or sale of the shares in the Company (the "Shares") in the United States or to US Persons. Each acquirer of the Shares will be deemed to represent, amongst other things, that (i) it is not in the United States, (ii) it is not a US Person or acquiring the Shares for the account or benefit of a US Person, and (iii) it is acquiring the Shares in an "offshore transaction" meeting the requirements of Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The content of the Company’s website constitutes a ‘financial promotion’ for the purposes of the UK regulatory regime. The content of the Company’s website has therefore been issued and approved for the purposes of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 by CGWL which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (with firm reference number 194927). Nonetheless, the content of this website does not constitute investment or other advice given by CGWL and you should not act upon any such content or the Materials without first consulting a financial or other professional adviser.

3. Risks of investing in VCTs

Investing in a VCT (including the Company) carries a high level of risk and it should be remembered that the price of shares in a VCT, and the income from such shares (if any), may go down as well as up. An investment in the VCT is only suitable for investors who are capable of evaluating the risks and merits of such investment and who understand the potential risk of capital loss (which may be equal to the whole amount invested). Further detail on the risks involved in investing in VCTs is set out in the “Risks of investing in VCTs” section on the front page of this website.

The latest annual report, factsheet and prospectus can be found in the document library. These documents include a more comprehensive list of the risks associated with this product. Please ensure that you have read and considered carefully each of the risks identified in these documents before investing in the VCT.

4. Privacy notice

The Company respects the privacy of individuals who visit the Company’s website and is careful to ensure that information disclosed to the Company in confidence is treated confidentially. The Company has a privacy notice in place which governs your use of the website and, by using the website, you confirm that you have read, understood and accept the Company’s privacy notice. A full copy of the Company's full privacy notice can be found here.

5. Limitation of liability

Use of the Company’s website and the Materials are at your sole risk. The Company and CGWL will not be liable to any person for any direct, indirect, special or consequential, losses, damages, or awards of any kind, howsoever caused, as a result of the use of or inability to use, or reliance on, the Company’s website or any of the Materials. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and regulation, the Company and CGWL exclude all warranties, conditions, terms, undertakings, and representations (excepting fraudulent misrepresentation) of any kind, express or implied, statutory or otherwise in connection with the Company’s website and the Materials. Nothing in these terms and conditions shall be taken to limit or exclude any liability which may not otherwise be limited or excluded under applicable law or regulation.

Nothing in this website should be construed as investment, tax, legal, or other advice, nor is it to be relied upon in making an investment decision. Those accessing the website should consult their financial advisers regarding the suitability of any of the products referred to on this website.  The value of investments and the income from them may go down as well as up and an investor may receive back less than the original investment. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance.

Trading in securities in smaller companies or a VCT (such as the Company) which invest in emerging markets may involve greater risks and be subject to more abrupt price movements than trading in securities of larger companies.

7. Severance

If any provision of these terms and conditions is found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity of that provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these terms and conditions which shall remain in full force and effect.
