Unless otherwise provided in written agreement and provided that appropriate references are made to the copyright of NDR, the Information Services may not be used, copied or distributed, except for your Internal Use. "Internal Use" means use by you and other employees of your business entity that are designated to access the Information Service based on and limited by the number of authorized subscribers (log-ins) specified in a written agreement.

Disclaimer Statement

Ned Davis Research, Inc. (NDR), any NDR affiliates or employees, or any third-party data provider, shall not have any liability for any loss sustained by anyone who has relied on the information contained in any NDR publication. In no event shall NDR, any NDR affiliates or employees, or any third-party data provider, be liable to any party for any direct, indirect, incidental, exemplary, compensatory, punitive, special or consequential damages, costs, expenses, legal fees, or losses (including, without limitation, lost income or lost profits and opportunity costs) in connection with any use of the information contained in this document even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

The data and analysis contained in NDR's publications are provided "as is" and without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied. The information is based on data believed to be reliable, but it is not guaranteed. NDR DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE.

NDR's reports reflect opinions of our analysts as of the date of each report, and they will not necessarily be updated as views or information change. All opinions expressed therein are subject to change without notice, and you should always obtain current information and perform due diligence before trading. NDR or its affiliated companies or their respective shareholders, directors, officers and/or employees, may have long or short positions in the securities discussed in NDR's publications and may purchase or sell such securities without notice.

NDR uses and has historically used various methods to evaluate investments which may, at times, produce contradictory recommendations with respect to the same securities. When evaluating the results of prior NDR recommendations or NDR performance rankings, one should also consider that NDR may modify the methods it uses to evaluate investment opportunities from time to time, that model results do not impute or show the compounded adverse effect of transaction costs or management fees or reflect actual investment results, that other less successful recommendations made by NDR are not included with these model performance reports, that some model results do not reflect actual historical recommendations, and that investment models are necessarily constructed with the benefit of hindsight. Unless specifically noted on a chart, report, or other device, all performance measures are purely hypothetical, and are the results of back-tested methodologies using data and analysis over time periods that pre-dated the creation of the analysis and do not reflect tax consequences, execution, commissions, and other trading costs. For these and for many other reasons, the performance of NDR's past recommendations and model results are not a guarantee of future results.

Using any graph, chart, formula, model, or other device to assist in deciding which securities to trade or when to trade them presents many difficulties and their effectiveness has significant limitations, including that prior patterns may not repeat themselves continuously or on any particular occasion. In addition, market participants using such devices can impact the market in a way that changes the effectiveness of such devices. NDR believes no individual graph, chart, formula, model, or other device should be used as the sole basis for any investment decision and suggests that all market participants consider differing viewpoints and use a weight of the evidence approach that fits their investment needs. Any particular piece of content or commentary may or may not be representative of the NDR House View, and may not align with any of the other content or commentary that is provided in the service. Performance measures on any chart or report are not intended to represent the performance of an investment account or portfolio, as some formulas or models may have superior or inferior results over differing time periods based upon macro-economic or investment market regimes. NDR generally provides a full history of a formula or model's hypothetical performance, which often reflects an "all in" investment of the represented market or security during "buy", "bullish", or similar recommendations. This approach is not indicative of the intended usage of the recommendation in a client's portfolio, and for this reason NDR does not typically display returns as would be commonly stated when reporting portfolio performance. Clients seeking the usage of any NDR content in a simulated portfolio back-test should contact their account representative to discuss testing that NDR can perform using the client's specific risk tolerances, fees, and other constraints.

NDR's reports are not intended to be the primary basis for investment decisions and are not designed to meet the particular investment needs of any investor. The reports do not address the suitability of any particular investment for any particular investor. The reports do not address the tax consequences of securities, investments, or strategies, and investors should consult their tax advisors before making investment decisions. Investors should seek professional advice before making investment decisions. The reports are not an offer or the solicitation of an offer to buy or to sell a security.
