Disclaimers and risk warnings
Important limitations on our liability and the nature of the information we provide.
No investment advice
The Content on the Website is provided for general informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment, financial, legal, tax, or accounting advice. We are not registered as an investment adviser, broker-dealer, or securities exchange with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Financial Services Authority (SVGFSA), or any other regulatory body in any capacity that would permit us to provide personalised investment advice. Information presented on the Website may not be suitable for your individual circumstances and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for any investment decision.
Risk warning
Investing in financial instruments, including shares offered through initial public offerings, carries inherent risk. The value of investments and the income derived from them can go down as well as up, and you may lose some or all of the capital you invest. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Investments in virtual assets carry additional risks, including extreme price volatility, regulatory uncertainty, technological vulnerabilities, and potential loss of access due to lost credentials or wallet failures. You should never invest money that you cannot afford to lose, and you should diversify your investments to manage risk. Leveraged or geared products magnify both potential gains and potential losses and are not suitable for all investors.
No offer or solicitation
Nothing on the Website constitutes an offer, solicitation, or invitation to buy, sell, or hold any financial product, security, virtual asset, or other instrument in any jurisdiction. No Content on the Website is intended to form the basis of any contract or commitment of any kind. Any investment opportunities described or referenced on the Website are not available to persons in jurisdictions where such opportunities would be unlawful or require additional registration or licensing.
Accuracy and completeness
We take reasonable steps to ensure that the Content on the Website is accurate and up to date as of the date of publication. However, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, suitability, or timeliness of the Content. The financial markets, regulatory frameworks, and corporate structures described are subject to change, and information may become outdated without notice. We undertake no obligation to update or correct any Content, except as required by applicable law.
Limitation of liability
The extent of our liability to you for your use of the Website.

ELLINGTON LTD, ELLINGTON TRADE LTD, AND THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL ELLINGTON LTD, ELLINGTON TRADE LTD, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE WEBSITE OR ANY CONTENT, MATERIALS, INFORMATION, OR SERVICES OBTAINED THROUGH IT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR INVESTMENT LOSSES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY PROVIDED HEREIN.
Jurisdictional variations
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain types of damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability shall be limited to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law. Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be lawfully excluded or limited.

Governing law and dispute resolution
The legal framework that applies to these Terms and how disputes will be resolved.
Governing law

The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is expressly excluded.
Dispute resolution — negotiation
In the event of any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Website (a "Dispute"), the parties shall first attempt to resolve the Dispute through good-faith negotiations. The party initiating the Dispute shall provide written notice to the other party describing the Dispute in reasonable detail. Both parties shall then meet (in person or by electronic means) within 21 days of the notice to attempt to resolve the Dispute informally. If the Dispute cannot be resolved within 30 days of the initial notice, either party may proceed to arbitration as set out below.
Arbitration
Any Dispute not resolved through informal negotiation shall be finally settled by arbitration administered by the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) in accordance with its Arbitration Rules, which are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause. The seat or legal place of arbitration shall be London, England. The tribunal shall consist of a single arbitrator appointed by the LCIA. The language of the arbitration shall be English.
