You acknowledge and agree that any violation of the provisions of the ToS regarding “Bond Street’s Intellectual Property, Copyrights and Identifying Marks” and “Acceptable Use of the Website; Conditions of Your Use” above may subject you to compensatory and punitive damages, and shall specifically also entitle Bond Street to equitable relief (including an injunction), in addition to (and not in substitution or replacement for) any other available remedies at law or in equity, without the need for the posting of a bond or any other requirement.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; Limitation of Liability
The Website
is provided to you on an "as is" and "as available" basis. This
means that we do not represent or warrant to you that:
No
Solicitation or Offering; No Advice
Except
as otherwise expressly noted, the Content and the Website do not constitute an
offer to buy or sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell investments, loans,
securities, partnership interests, commodities or any other financial
instruments; the Content and the Website also do not constitute, and may not be
used for or in connection with, an offer or solicitation by anyone in any state
or jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorized or
permitted, or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or
solicitation.
Bond Street makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, regarding the advisability of investing in securities, funds, partnership interests or other investments or funding or purchasing loans. The past performance of any investment, loan, security, partnership interest, commodity or financial instrument is not a guide to future performance.
WITHOUT LIMITING ANYTHING IN THE TERMS OF SERVICE, BOND STREET MAKES NO WARRANTIES AND BEARS NO LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY FUND, ANY INVESTMENTS, SECURITIES, PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS, LOANS OR THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF.
The Content and the views expressed in the Consent do not necessarily reflect the views of Bond Street as a whole, its directors, officers, employees, shareholders or any part or member thereof or of any third party. No Content or information on the Website constitutes, or should be construed as, investment, tax, legal, financial or any other advice.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain
statements in the Website and the Content may constitute “forward-looking”
statements that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors that may cause actual returns of funds, investments, securities or
loans to be materially different from any future returns or values
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements typically include words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,”
“plan,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend” and other similar terminology. These
statements reflect current expectations regarding future events and speak only
as of the date of being posted to the Website. Forward-looking statements
involve significant risks and uncertainties, should not be read as guarantees
of future performance or returns, and will not necessarily be accurate indications
of whether or not such returns will be achieved. Given these uncertainties and risks,
users of the Website, including any person who may or has invested in any
offering made by or on behalf of Bond Street or its subsidiaries or affiliates,
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking
statements.
A variety of factors could cause the actual results and developments of any fund, investment, security or loan to differ significantly from the results and developments forecasted and implied. Although forward-looking statements contained in the Website, if any, are based upon what Bond Street and its advisors believe are reasonable assumptions, Bond Street cannot assure you that actual results, returns or events will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made as of the date of being posted to the Website, and Bond Street and its subsidiaries and affiliates assume no obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or revise forward-looking statements contained in or incorporated by reference into the Website or the Content or any information supplemental thereto to reflect new information, future events or circumstances or otherwise.

General
You
acknowledge and agree that all rights not otherwise expressly granted to you by
the ToS are reserved to Bond Street. The ToS, together with the Privacy Policy,
constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and us with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous
negotiations, discussions, agreements, understandings, representations and
warranties, both written and oral, between you and us with respect to such
subject matter. You agree that no
joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between
you and Bond Street as a result of the ToS or any use of the Website. The
failure of Bond Street to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the ToS
shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the
ToS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, unlawful
or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court should give effect to the Parties'
intentions as reflected in such provision, and the other provisions of the ToS shall
remain in full force and effect.
The section titles in the ToS are for convenience only and have no legal
or contractual effect. Neither the course of conduct between you and Bond
Street, nor trade practice, shall act to modify any provision of the ToS. For purposes of the ToS, the terms “include,”
“includes,”
“including,”
“such
as” and “for example,” shall be construed as if each term were followed
by the words, “without limitation.”

noun includes the plural, and use of the plural includes the singular.
