14.2 The Content is made available for your general information and use and is not intended for trading purposes or to address your particular requirements. We do not represent or endorse the accuracy, completeness or reliability of any advice, opinion, statement or other information forming part of the Content. Reliance upon any Content shall be at your own risk.
14.3 Without prejudice to Clause 14.2, the Content does not constitute any form of advice, recommendation or arrangement by us (including, without limitation, investment advice or an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security, financial product or other investment) and is not intended to be relied upon by users in making (or refraining from making) any specific investment or other decisions.

14.7 Without prejudice to Clause 25 below, to the extent that the provisions of any applicable law shall impose restrictions on the extent to which liability can be excluded under these Terms including, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of sections 3, 6 and 11 of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 in the UK (and its equivalent in any other jurisdiction) relating to the requirement of reasonableness, the exclusions set out in Clause 3.6 and this Clause 14 shall be limited in accordance with such restrictions.

These matters are the responsibility of the directors but no control procedures can provide absolute assurance in this area. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial information differs from legislation in other jurisdictions.
