Information for foreign investors

The Fidelity Sites are intended to be made available only to persons in the United States, and the information on this website is only for such persons.

No investment recommendations or professional advice

Generally, the Fidelity Sites and any materials or documents found therein are not intended to provide tax, legal, insurance, or investment advice, and nothing on the Fidelity Sites and any materials or documents found therein should be construed as an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation for any security by Fidelity or any third party. However, certain tools available on the Fidelity Sites may be deemed to provide general investment education based upon your or your client’s personalized input. In any event, the shareholder and/or the shareholder’s investment professional alone are solely responsible, as applicable, for determining whether any investment, security, or strategy, or any other product or service, is appropriate or suitable for the shareholder based on his investment objectives and personal and financial situation. The shareholder should consult an attorney or tax professional regarding his specific legal or tax situation. Since Fidelity does not provide legal or tax advice, we encourage you to consult your own lawyer, accountant, or other advisor before making a decision.

Third-party content and sites

The Fidelity Sites may include general news and information, commentary, interactive tools, quotes, research reports, and data concerning the financial markets, securities, and other subjects. Some of that content is supplied by companies that are not affiliated with Fidelity (“Third-Party Content”). Most third-party content is available through framed areas or through hyperlinks to third-party websites, and its source is clearly and prominently identified.

Although third-party content may be framed-in on the Fidelity Sites or available through a link to a third-party site, Fidelity does not prepare, edit, or endorse third-party content. Fidelity therefore does not guarantee its accuracy, timeliness, completeness, or usefulness, and is not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from third-party sites. You will use third-party content only at your own risk.

In order to comply with applicable laws and regulations, Fidelity may at times exclude content with respect to securities of issuers that are the subject of public offerings made available to certain of Fidelity’s direct brokerage customers, or otherwise.

THE THIRD-PARTY CONTENT IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS-IS” BASIS. THE THIRD-PARTY CONTENT PROVIDERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

THE THIRD-PARTY CONTENT PROVIDERS AND THEIR PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, SERVICE PROVIDERS, LICENSORS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, OR EMPLOYEES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE THIRD-PARTY CONTENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE DAMAGES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

All content on the Fidelity Sites is presented only as of the date published or indicated, and may be superseded by subsequent market events or other reasons. In addition, you are responsible for setting the cache settings on your browser to ensure you are receiving the most recent data.

You should not access the Fidelity Sites through devices or services that are designed to provide high-speed, automated, repeated access, unless such devices are approved or made available by Fidelity.

Certain parts of the Fidelity Sites are protected by passwords or require log-in. You may not obtain or attempt to obtain unauthorized access to such parts of the Fidelity Sites, or to any other protected materials or information, through any means not intentionally made available by Fidelity for your specific use.
