Terms of USe

Effective 8 March 2017

AGREEMENT TO TERMS OF USE

Please read these terms and conditions (“Terms of Use”) before using the Bronte Capital Management Pty Ltd’s (the “Firm”) website (the “Site”). Your access to and use of the Site is subject to these Terms of Use and all applicable laws and regulations. The Terms of Use constitute a legal agreement between you and the Firm. The Site is available only to, and may only be used by, individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, the Site is not available to persons under the age of 18. By accessing and using the Site, you accept, without qualification, these Terms of Use. If you do not approve and accept these Terms of Use without qualification, you should exit the Site immediately.

JURISDICTIONAL LIMITATIONS

The Firm is an Australian-licensed and U.S. SEC-registered investment adviser. The Firm may only transact business or render personalized investment advice in those jurisdictions where the Firm is registered, has filed notice or is otherwise excluded or exempted from notice or registration requirements. The purpose of the Site is for information only. Any communications with prospective investors residing in jurisdictions where the Firm and its investment adviser representatives (if any) are not registered or licensed shall be limited so as to not trigger registration or licensing requirements. Nothing on the Site should be construed as investment advice, which can be provided only in one-on- one communications.

PERSONAL AND NON-COMMERCIAL USE LIMITATION

The Site is for your personal and non-commercial use, and the Firm grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable and limited personal license to access and use the Site, conditioned on your continued compliance with these Terms of Use. You may not modify, copy (except as set forth below), distribute, transmit, display, perform, reproduce, publish, license, create derivative works from, transfer, or sell any information, products or services obtained from the Site. You may not link other websites to the Site without the prior written permission of the Firm. You may print one hardcopy of the information and download one temporary copy of the information into one single computer’s memory solely for your own personal, non-commercial use and not for distribution, provided that all relevant copyright, trademark and other proprietary notices are kept intact. You may not allow others to use your user name or password (if you have one) to access or use any part of the Site. If you have a password and it has been compromised for any reason, you must contact the Firm immediately for a new password. If you have a password and you provide your password to any third party, you will be solely responsible for any actions taken by such third party using your password. All information on any password-restricted area of the Site is confidential and private and you may not disclose or distribute to any other person for any purpose. Such information is available solely for your personal use in connection with your investment activities.

You may not use the Site to advertise or perform any commercial solicitation. You also may not use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means to access the Site for any purpose without the prior written permission of the Firm. You may not take any action that imposes, or may impose, in our sole discretion, an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure, interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Site or any activities conducted on the Site, or bypass any measures we may use to prevent or restrict access to the Site. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.

NO SECURITIES OFFERING OR INVESTMENT ADVICE

The funds advised by the Firm are not offered through the Site. An offer regarding any such fund may be made only after you have received the fund’s Confidential Offering Circular or Private Offering Memorandum and have had the opportunity to discuss all matters concerning any prospective investment that you desire. The Site does not provide all information material to an investor’s decision to invest in any such fund, including, but not limited to, risk factors. For more information, please refer to a fund’s Confidential Offering Circular or Private Offering Memorandum and read it carefully before you invest. The information on the Site is intended to enable investors to understand the nature of the Firm’s financial advisory services. It is not intended as and does not constitute investment advice or legal or tax advice or an offer to sell any securities to any person or a solicitation of any person of any offer to purchase any securities. The information in the Site should not be construed as any endorsement, recommendation or sponsorship of any company or security by the Firm. There are inherent risks in relying on, using or retrieving any information found on the Site, and the Firm urges you to make sure you understand these risks before relying on, using or retrieving any information on the Site. You should evaluate the information made available through the Site, and you should seek the advice of professionals, as appropriate, to evaluate any opinion, advice, product, service or other information. You agree that the Firm is not liable for any action you take or decision you make in reliance on any information on the Site. The Firm’s services are designed to integrate with the services provided by investors’ other financial, legal and tax advisers, not to replace their services. You acknowledge that any requests for information are unsolicited and any information provided is not investment advice by the Firm to you or constitute the formation of an investment advisory relationship, or any other client relationship. We strongly recommend that you seek outside advice from a qualified securities professional. The Firm does not guarantee the suitability or potential value of any particular investment or information source. The Firm may invest or otherwise hold an interest in companies or securities that may be discussed on the Site.

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT COMPARABLE

The performance information (if any) presented in the Site reflects the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings, and net figures reflect the deduction of expenses, management fees and incentive fees and allocations.
 The Firm believes that the performance (if any) shown in the Site was generated with an investment philosophy and methodology similar to that described in the funds’ Confidential Offering Circulars and Private Offering Memoranda, that it would expect to use in the future. Future investments, however, will be made under different economic conditions and in different securities and may be made using different investment strategies than were used during the times discussed herein. Furthermore, the performance discussed herein reflects investment of limited funds for a limited period and does not reflect performance in different economic or market cycles. Any fund advised by the Firm may not experience returns, if any, comparable to those described herein. Past performance does not indicate future returns. The performance results have not been compiled, reviewed or audited by an independent accountant. Results for the current year are based on the internal books and records of each fund and are subject to adjustment when that fund’s financial statements for the current year are audited.

The Firm believes that the comparison of each fund’s performance to any single market index is inappropriate. These indices are provided for comparative purposes, but only as examples of general market performance. Unlike these indices, each fund’s portfolio may contain options (including covered and uncovered puts and calls) and other derivative securities, may include short sales of securities, margin trading and securities of different capitalization companies than those reflected in these indices, and is not as diversified as these indices. Due to the differences between the composition of a fund’s portfolio and these indices, the Firm cautions potential investors that no such index is directly comparable to any fund.

TRUTHFUL INFORMATION

As a condition to your use of the Site, you represent and warrant to, and agree with the Firm that, all of the information that you provide is truthful, accurate and complete.

DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

The information, software and services published on the Site may include inaccuracies or typographical errors. Due to various factors, including the inherent possibility of human and mechanical error, the accuracy, completeness, timeliness and correct sequencing of such information, software and services and the results obtained from their use are not guaranteed by the Firm or any persons creating or transmitting such information, software and services.

The Firm and/or its suppliers make no representations about the suitability of the information, software, products and services contained on the Site for any purpose.

The Firm and/or its respective suppliers hereby disclaim all warranties and conditions with regard to this information, software, products and services, including all implied warranties and conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement and availability.

Because some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you.

The Firm and any person creating or transmitting the information on the Site shall not be liable for any infection by viruses of or damage to any computer that results from your use of, access to or downloading of such information. If you are dissatisfied with the information, products or services offered at the Site or with the terms and conditions of these terms of use, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue use of and access to the Site.

JURISDICTIONAL ISSUES AND APPLICABLE LAW

Unless otherwise specified, the Firm controls and operates the Site from its offices within Australia.

If you choose to access the Site from other locations, you do so on your own initiative, and you are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws. These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of Australia, without regard to its choice of law provisions. You hereby consent to the exclusive and personal jurisdiction and venue of courts in New South Wales, Australia, which shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any and all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use, the use of the Site or any product or service related thereto. Use of the Site is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these terms and conditions, including without limitation this paragraph.

GENERAL

You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship exists between you and the Firm as a result of these Terms of Use or use of the Site.

The Firm’s performance of these Terms of Use is subject to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained in these Terms of Use is in derogation of the Firm’s right to comply with law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Site or information provided to or gathered by the Firm with respect to such use.

If any part of these Terms of Use is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of these Terms of Use shall continue in effect.

By reviewing or using the information on the Site after accessing the Site, you represent and warrant that (a) you have the authority to enter into these Terms of Use and create a binding contractual obligation, (b) you understand and intend these Terms of Use to be the legal equivalent of a signed, written contract equally binding, and (c) you will use the information on the Site in a manner consistent with applicable laws and regulations in accordance with these Terms of Use, as the same may be amended by the Firm online or otherwise from time to time. A printed version of these Terms of Use and any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based on or relating to these Terms of Use to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between the user and the Firm with respect to the Site and they supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between the user and the Firm with respect to the Site.
