If you are accessing the Yahoo Finance Community service (“Finance Community”), then these terms and conditions (the “Additional Terms”) apply to you in addition to our general Terms of Use (“General Terms”) available at https://legal.yahoo.com/us/en/yahoo/terms/otos/index.html. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the General Terms.
- ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMERS. By accessing content on Finance Community, you acknowledge and agree that:
- Yahoo is not an investment adviser, financial advisor, broker, dealer or tax advisor. No content on the Finance Community is intended as tax, legal, financial or investment advice, and nothing on the Finance Community should be construed as an offer to buy or sell a security or other financial product or a solicitation, recommendation or advice in relation to any security transaction or other investment. By accessing the Finance Community, you agree that you are not entering into an advisory relationship with Yahoo, any of its affiliates, or any other user on the Finance Community.
- Trading or investing in such securities or other financial products can result in immediate and substantial losses of the capital invested. You should only invest funds that you are able to use. Yahoo specifically disclaims any and all liability or loss arising out of any action taken in reliance on content on Finance Community, including but not limited to the advisability of investing in any securities, market value or other loss on the sale or purchase of any company, property, product, service, security, instrument, or any other matter.
- You understand that an investment in any security or other financial product is subject to a number of risks, and that discussions of any security or financial instrument published on Finance Community will not contain a list or description of relevant risk factors. We encourage you to research any investment before committing funds, and to also consult an attorney or tax professional regarding your specific legal or tax situation.
- The content on Finance Community is based on the individual opinions of the persons posting such content and is not tailored to your individual situation nor has any determination been made as to whether such opinions are suitable for you. No content on Finance Community – including any Portfolio Information (as defined below) made available by another member of Finance Community – should be considered a model portfolio nor should it be used as such. You alone are solely responsible for determining whether any investment, security or strategy, or any other product or service, is appropriate or suitable for you based on your investment objectives and personal and financial situation.
- You should be aware that persons posting content on Finance Community may have a financial interest in companies, securities or other financial products referred to in that content. Persons posting content on Finance Community may also take financial positions inconsistent with the views expressed in their content. Even if a participant in the Finance Community makes their Portfolio Information available, it is possible that such information is inaccurate or incomplete.
- Some users of Finance Community may be compensated by Yahoo to provide content on Finance Community in order to encourage engagement. However, these users are never paid to endorse specific securities, other financial products, advisers or strategies. The content posted by such users is their own content, is not endorsed by Yahoo, and should not be viewed as communications by Yahoo.
- If you are not at least 18 years old, you may not use Finance Community.
- POSTING CONTENT ON FINANCE COMMUNITY. By posting content on Finance Community, you acknowledge and agree that:
- Any content you post is based on information you believe to be accurate, and your content does not contain any misleading information.
- You will not post any content designed to raise, depress or otherwise manipulate the price of any security or other investment product. Without limiting the foregoing, you will not repeatedly send overly positive or negative messages about a particular security or investment product without providing substantive new information.
- Any content you post is for general audiences and not tailored to any particular individual.
- You will not link to any trading venue or other means to receive investment advice or purchase securities or other investment products, or to any sales materials for securities, investment advisory services, or other investment products.
- You will not post content that constitutes an offer to sell or purchase any securities or other financial instruments.
- You will not promote any investment on Finance Community where you or a member of your household has a material financial interest in the debt or equity securities of the subject company (including without limitation, whether it consists of any option, right, warrant, future, long or short position) unless you disclose such interest as part of the relevant post.
- You will not receive any compensation from anyone other than Yahoo for posting content (including with respect to posting about particular securities or other financial products, or posting about particular advisers or strategies).
- You will not post content consisting of confidential or nonpublic information unless you have the right to publicize such information without restriction.
- You may not violate any applicable law or regulation while accessing and using Finance Community, including without limitation the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (especially and including rules against making false or misleading statements to manipulate the price of any security or other financial instrument) or any state securities authority. Without limiting the foregoing, you may not use Finance Community to engage in any activity that would require you to register as a broker-dealer or investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities authority.
