6. Information on investment risks
The value of investments and the income they generate may rise or fall, and investors may not be able to recoup the amounts invested. Positive performance in the past is no guarantee of a favorable investment trend in the future. It cannot be ruled out that at the time of liquidation of an investment, its value is lower than when initially invested. It is also possible that all capital invested may be lost, and in certain circumstances the loss may even be greater. It is occasionally possible that an investment cannot be made immediately, resulting in temporary difficulties in its liquidation, in whether it produces any profits or in whether precise information can be obtained on the value or degree of risk involved. Before making any investment, it is recommended that you obtain adequate information and professional advice.
7. Links to other sites
This website may offer links to other sites. Your use of these links to any other page outside of this website is at your own risk.
The Bank does not review any of the websites referred to on its own site. Consequently, the Bank assumes no liability for the content thereof or for the products, services or anything else offered via the said websites.
The inclusion of a hyperlink to one of the Bank’s websites on an external site is only permitted with the prior authorization of the Bank.
8. Data security
When connecting to the site, making contact or communicating electronically, the user’s data is usually transmitted over a public network, accessible to anyone, and also sometimes circulates on the international internet even if the sender and recipient are both located in the same country. The user is aware of the risks arising from the fact that the services provided by the website are offered by means of open devices that are also accessible to third parties (such as public and private data transmission networks, internet servers, access providers), and that the data may also be transmitted via foreign transmission networks. The user further acknowledges that downloads of extracts and other documents are also transmitted via public data transmission networks.
Abusive websites can frequently be found on the internet, whereby third parties, which in some cases are completely non-existent, attempt to falsify membership, or at least a link, with accredited institutions, using similar names and reproducing logos and other material published on the official website of the institution concerned. As regards the Banca del Sempione Group, we would like to point out that the said Group only includes the companies referred to in the “Group” section of this website, www.bancasempione.ch. Of course, the Banca del Sempione Group waives all liability for any damage that may arise from reliance on the websites published on the internet by the said third parties.
