4. GENERAL TERMS OF SERVICE

A list of IP Global’s range of property-related services is available on request.  IP Global hereby represents to you, and you acknowledge and agree, that:

  • save as provided in IP Global’s Client Services Agreement, and in any terms and conditions annexed to the Unit Application Form as signed by you, all contracts are entered into between you and the relevant company and/or institution and not between you and IP Global;

In respect of all material, information and documents supplied by IP Global to you at any time (including all plans and specifications) (the “Material”), you acknowledge and agree that neither IP Global, nor any of its representatives, officers, employees or advisers accepts or will accept any responsibility for any interpretation, opinion or conclusion that you may form as a result of examining the Material.

All plans and specifications provided to you are provided as a guide only and are subject to variations, modifications and amendments as required by relevant authorities, developers and/or architects.

RISK DISCLOSURE

You acknowledge that:

  • investment in property is relatively illiquid and more difficult to realise than equities or bonds. Property values may be adversely affected by illiquidity in the property market. The value of investment in property involves risks and the value of property and associated rental yields may go down as well as up, being generally affected by overall conditions in the economy, such as growth in GDP, employment trends, changes in inflation and interest rates. The property market is volatile and property prices may fluctuate (down as well as up) widely;
  • both the value of property and associated rental yields may be affected by other factors specific to the property market, such as competition from other property owners, the perceptions of prospective tenants of the attractiveness, convenience and safety of properties, the inability to collect rents because of the insolvency of tenants or otherwise, the periodic need to renovate, repair and re-lease space and the costs thereof, the costs of maintenance and insurance, and increased operating costs. Similarly, rent reviews may not result in rental yields from any property being received at the expected rental value; and
  • the rental market may also be affected by uncertainty relating to political issues.

Whilst IP Global may undertake various background checks on property companies or financial institutions that it introduces to you, it is your responsibility to instruct your own advisers with respect to the legal, tax, regulatory, financial and accounting consequences of a particular property-related transaction, before proceeding with that transaction.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Nothing in these Terms shall exclude or limit the liability of IP Global for death or personal injury caused by its negligence or for fraud or in respect of any other liability arising out of or in connection with the Terms which cannot be excluded or restricted by applicable law in the relevant jurisdiction in which the IP Global entity operates (such law being, “Applicable Law“).

in each case whether direct or indirect, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

The above provisions shall be the only remedies for monetary damages available to you or any third party against IP Global arising out of or in connection with the Site and your use thereof.
