ResearchPool will make its best efforts to ensure an uninterrupted access to the Service. However, the Client is aware and accepts the unknown technicalities inherent to data processing and its maintenance. Consequently, ResearchPool will not be held liable for possible unavailability or slowdowns.
The Client acknowledge that the Service does not aim to provide advice tailored to individual investors or its needs and that it can lose money on investments. The Service should never be used in isolation of its individual circumstances. The Client must consider its financial circumstances, risk tolerance, liquidity needs and investment objectives. The Service does not replace the advice of an authorized investment professional or independent financial adviser. Content in the Service is not appropriate for the purposes of making a decision to carry out a transaction or trade. The Client should check all information and prices with its broker immediately prior to carrying out any trade. Furthermore, it is not a real-time service and the Client agree to release us from any and all liability arising from any investment it have made whether or not you have relied on any information on app.researchpool.com
Payment is made upon purchase by any means chosen by the Client, which is offered and available. The platform is equipped with a secured system of online payment. It is possible that only credit card payment is on offer, which the Client accepts. In order to simplify the payment, a client may request the creation of a Business Account which has to be accepted by ResearchPool and will, if necessary, take the form of a specific convention. The Business Account is the responsibility of an administrator designated by the client who will have the responsibility of the functioning of the Business Account.
The account administrator is the only entitled to purchase credits corresponding to definite purchases and to proceed to definitive payments in anticipation on the Services available on the ResearchPool platform. The non-used research credits are conserved for the life duration of the Business Account. The purchases performed from a Business Account are debited from the latter within the limit of its credit.
Articles L. 217-1 and following of the consumer code on legal guaranty of compliance as well as article 1641 of the French Civil Code on hidden defects, apply only to sale contracts and not to service provision contracts. ResearchPool is a service provider, and the previously stated guaranties do not apply.
ResearchPool.com is a platform which purpose is to provide the Client with a content (material or service) in relation to analyst and investors’ research work. These Products are established by professionals of which ResearchPool is not the contractor and for which it is not responsible. ResearchPool is neither the author nor the editor and is in no way guarantor of the content. ResearchPool, as a plateform providing the Products, is not their providers and limits itself to enabling the access to contents supplied by third parties.
ResearchPool does not give any investment advice and does not support nor challenge the Product’s appropriateness. ResearchPool is not responsible for any loss or eventual damage suffered by the Client following investments made by the latter in consideration of information stemming from the Products consulted via the Service. ResearchPool does not act as an intermediary in banking operations or payment services and is therefore not subject to the provisions of the French Monetary and Financial Code.
