    • Communication: messages, notices and/or communications which are published to or disseminated through the social services    
    • Contractors: any legal or natural person who is contracted to render services or provide products to Investec and who is not an employee (‘contractor’ has a corresponding meaning)

    The communication may contain information that is confidential, private or privileged. If you are not the intended recipient of this information (or the intended recipient’s authorised representative) you must:

    Failure to do so may amount to the unlawful interception of the communication; breach of privilege and/or confidentiality; the infringement of copyright and/or the infringement of the right to privacy, thus potentially exposing you to criminal and civil liability.

  • Liability limitation

    Neither Investec, the communication’s originator, or any other Investec representative will be liable for any loss, damage or expense of any nature (including without limitation, that caused by the corruption or loss of data, damage to software programs and interruption of business operations) resulting directly or indirectly from the transmission of the communication (including, without limitation, any malicious software code or viruses transmitted together with or obtained through the communication, or any corruption to or loss of data caused or facilitated by the communication).

    The views and opinions expressed in the communication do not necessarily reflect Investec’s views and opinions. In particular, no employee or contractor is permitted to send (and you agree that Investec will not be liable or responsible for):
     

    • unsolicited commercial messages where recipients of unsolicited email have not specifically opted to receive or, having done so, have indicated their unwillingness to receive further unsolicited email (spam)    
    • messages that infringe any third party's copyright, trademarks or other rights and interests (infringing content)    
    • messages containing content that is offensive, derogatory, racist, defamatory or otherwise unlawful (offensive content).
       

    If the communication constitutes spam, contains infringing or offensive content, or was otherwise sent for purposes unrelated to the official business of Investec, Investec will not be liable for any loss, damage or expense of any nature, no matter how arising, resulting in your receipt, use and/or consumption of this email.
