Website Terms of Use

1Purpose of This Website

This website provides general information about Deva Victrix, its activities, capabilities, perspectives and services.

The website is provided for general informational purposes only.

Nothing on this website constitutes or should be treated as legal, tax, accounting, audit, investment, financial, regulatory or other specialist professional advice.

Information on this website is not intended to constitute a recommendation that any person take or refrain from taking any particular action.

You should obtain appropriate independent professional advice before taking action in circumstances requiring specialist advice.

2No Client Relationship

Accessing this website, communicating with Deva Victrix through it, submitting an enquiry, receiving information from us or communicating with us following use of the website does not by itself create a client, advisory, fiduciary, agency or other professional relationship between you and Deva Victrix.

A client engagement arises only where Deva Victrix and the relevant client enter into an agreement for services in accordance with the applicable engagement documentation.

Our professional services are governed by the terms expressly applicable to the relevant engagement and not by these Website Terms of Use.

3No Offer, Solicitation or Transaction

Unless expressly stated otherwise, nothing on this website constitutes an offer capable of acceptance, a contractual offer to provide services or a commitment by Deva Victrix to undertake any engagement.

Nothing on this website should be interpreted as an invitation, inducement, recommendation or solicitation to acquire, dispose of, subscribe for, underwrite or otherwise enter into any investment, security, financial instrument or financial transaction.

Deva Victrix does not through this website provide personalised investment recommendations or regulated financial or investment advice.

Nothing in these Website Terms limits the application of any financial-services, financial-promotion or other regulatory law that applies to a communication or activity according to its substance and circumstances.

4Information and No Reliance

We take reasonable care in preparing information published on this website.

However, strategic, commercial, institutional, regulatory and market circumstances can change rapidly.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, we do not represent or warrant that information on the website is:

• complete;
• comprehensive;
• suitable for any particular person or purpose;
• continuously accurate;
• current at the time it is accessed; or
• applicable to your particular circumstances.

You should not make a material commercial, financial, investment, legal, strategic or other decision solely in reliance upon information appearing on this website.

Any examples, observations, commentary, perspectives, case studies or descriptions appearing on the website should be considered in their particular context.

5No Guarantee of Outcome

Any discussion on this website of strategies, opportunities, transactions, relationships, institutions, markets, projects or outcomes does not constitute a representation or guarantee that any particular result can or will be achieved.

Past outcomes, examples or experience do not guarantee future outcomes.

Commercial, strategic, institutional and relationship-based activity necessarily involves uncertainty and circumstances outside Deva Victrix's control.

6Investors, Capital and Financial Opportunities

References on this website to investors, capital providers, fundraising, transactions, financial opportunities, investment markets or related matters are provided only in the context in which they appear.

Unless expressly and lawfully stated otherwise, such references do not constitute investment advice, a personal recommendation, an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity, or an endorsement of any particular investment, investor, issuer, transaction or financial product.

Any person considering an investment, fundraising or financial transaction should undertake their own due diligence and obtain appropriate independent legal, financial, tax, regulatory and investment advice.

7Third Parties and Introductions

The website may refer or link to third parties, organisations, advisers, institutions, investors, counterparties or other persons.

Such reference does not by itself constitute a warranty, guarantee or representation by Deva Victrix concerning that person's suitability, capability, financial standing, conduct, advice, performance or future actions.

Users remain responsible for carrying out appropriate due diligence before dealing with a third party.

Deva Victrix does not become responsible for an independent third party merely because that person is mentioned, identified or linked to from this website.

8Third-Party Websites

This website may contain links to websites, services or resources operated by third parties.

Those links may be provided for information or convenience.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Deva Victrix does not control those third-party websites and does not accept responsibility for their content, availability, security, privacy practices or operation.

The inclusion of a link does not necessarily constitute endorsement of the linked website, organisation, information, product or service.

Access to third-party websites is at the user's discretion and subject to the terms and policies applicable to those websites.

9Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, Deva Victrix or its licensors own or control the intellectual property rights in this website and its original content, including its text, structure, branding, graphics, publications, reports, methodologies, frameworks, concepts and other materials.

All such rights are reserved.

You may view the website and download or print reasonable extracts for your own legitimate internal or personal informational purposes.

Unless permitted by law or expressly authorised by Deva Victrix in writing, you must not:

• reproduce or republish substantial parts of the website;
• commercially exploit website content;
• modify Deva Victrix materials and present them as original or authoritative;
• remove proprietary notices;
• use Deva Victrix branding in a manner suggesting endorsement, affiliation or authority;
• systematically extract, harvest or compile website content;
• create a database from substantial parts of the website; or
• use website content to provide a competing commercial publication or service.

Nothing in these Website Terms transfers intellectual property rights to a website user.

10Automated Access, Scraping and Artificial Intelligence

You must not use automated systems, bots, crawlers, scraping technologies or similar means to access, extract or reproduce substantial parts of this website where doing so:

• imposes an unreasonable burden upon our systems;
• circumvents technical restrictions;
• interferes with operation or security;
• infringes intellectual property or other rights;
• involves unlawful processing of personal data; or
• is otherwise unlawful.

Except to the extent that applicable law prevents such restriction, website content may not be systematically extracted or reproduced for the purpose of creating or materially enhancing a commercial database, competing information product, or commercial artificial-intelligence training dataset without Deva Victrix's prior written permission.

11Acceptable Use

You must not use this website:

• unlawfully or fraudulently;
• to introduce malicious software or harmful code;
• to attempt unauthorised access to the website, its infrastructure or related systems;
• to interfere with the operation, availability or security of the website;
• to impersonate another person;
• to submit information which you know is materially false or misleading;
• to infringe another person's intellectual property, privacy, confidentiality or other rights; or
• in any manner reasonably likely to damage Deva Victrix, its systems or other users.

We may restrict or block access where reasonably necessary to protect the website, our rights, other users or third parties.

12Website Availability

We aim to maintain an effective and secure website but do not guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted or free from errors.

We may modify, suspend, withdraw or restrict all or part of the website without notice where reasonably necessary.

We may update, amend or remove website content at any time.

13Cybersecurity

We take reasonable measures appropriate to the nature of the website to protect our systems.

However, no internet service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for using appropriate security measures on your own devices and systems.

You should not assume that an electronic communication apparently originating from Deva Victrix is genuine solely because it uses our name or branding.

In particular, any unexpected communication requesting payment or providing changed bank details should be independently verified using established contact details before payment is made.

14Liability

Nothing in these Website Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability to the extent that it cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Subject to the foregoing, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Deva Victrix shall not be liable for loss arising solely from:

• reliance upon general information made available through this website;
• information becoming inaccurate or outdated;
• temporary or permanent unavailability of the website;
• third-party websites or services;
• acts or omissions of independent third parties;
• unauthorised or unlawful interference with the website outside Deva Victrix's reasonable control; or
• use of the website contrary to these Website Terms.

Where a separate agreement between Deva Victrix and a client governs professional services, liability arising from those services shall be determined under that agreement rather than these Website Terms.

Nothing in this clause is intended to exclude or restrict liability where doing so would be unlawful or unreasonable under applicable law.

15Privacy and Data Protection

Personal data collected through or in connection with this website is handled in accordance with our Privacy Notice and applicable data-protection law.

Where the website uses cookies or similar storage and access technologies, further information is provided through our Cookie Notice and applicable consent controls.

16Communications Through the Website

You should not submit highly sensitive, confidential or time-critical information through a general website enquiry form unless expressly invited to do so.

Submission of information through the website does not guarantee that Deva Victrix will accept an engagement, respond within any particular period or take action on your behalf.

If you send information to us before an engagement is established, you remain responsible for ensuring that you are entitled to disclose that information.

17Changes to These Website Terms

We may amend these Website Terms from time to time.

The version published on this website at the time of use applies to that use.

Changes to these Website Terms do not amend the terms of an existing client engagement unless expressly agreed in accordance with the contractual provisions governing that engagement.

18Severability

If any provision or part of a provision of these Website Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, it shall so far as legally possible be treated as modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part shall be treated as deleted without affecting the remainder of these Website Terms.

19No Waiver

Failure or delay by Deva Victrix in exercising a right under these Website Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right.

20Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Website Terms and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

Subject to any mandatory jurisdictional rights which applicable law gives a user and which cannot lawfully be excluded, the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising out of or in connection with these Website Terms or use of the website.
