• The Site is intended for use as a directory of information relating to certain covered bond products ("Products") (the "Product Information") by an issuer of ("Issuer"), or potential investor in ("Investor"), such Products (an Issuer, Investor, or any other person accessing this Site, each a "User" or "you"). The Product Information is provided by each relevant Issuer, and remains at all times the sole responsibility of the relevant Issuer. We have not independently verified any Product Information, nor reviewed whether any Product for which information is available on the Site actually is a covered bond product. This Site or any label made available through it does not constitute, nor contain, any form of credit rating, any offer to sell (or the solicitation of an offer to purchase) any Product, nor does it constitute a recommendation, or investment advice (or any other type of advice) upon which reliance should be placed.
• These terms and conditions together with the documents referred to in them set out the terms of use ("T&Cs") on which (a) an Issuer; (b) Investor; or (c) any other User, may make use of the Site. Section A applies primarily to Investors, and Section B applies primarily to Issuers. The General T&Cs in Section C apply to all Users.

SECTION A. INVESTOR T&Cs

1. DIRECTORY SERVICES

• The Site is intended to provide you with certain information from Issuers regarding the self-certification of their Products as labelled covered bonds. The requirements of the Covered Bond Label Convention are intended to increase transparency, improve investor access to information, and improve liquidity in covered bonds, but they are not a substitute in any way for each User's independent investment and credit evaluation.
• The Product Information on this Site is provided for your convenience only, and does not constitute any form of credit rating, an offer to sell (or the solicitation of an offer to purchase) any Product, nor does it constitute a recommendation, or investment advice (or any other type of advice) upon which reliance should be placed.
• Users shall exercise independent judgment when viewing the Site and its contents, to make their own investigations and evaluations of the information contained on this Site or accessible through it, and to consult their own attorney, business adviser, tax adviser, and/or any other professional necessary, as to legal, business, tax and investment-related matters concerning the Products and Product Information contained on this Site. No information contained on the Site should be construed as legal, tax, investment, or accounting advice.
• Product Information is incorporated into the directory on the Site following the completion of an automated process conducted by the relevant Issuer. The proper conduct of that process and the accuracy and completeness of the Product Information supplied during that process remain at all times the responsibility of the relevant Issuer. While the Product Information contained on the Site is displayed by us in good faith, no representation is made by us as to its completeness or accuracy. PRODUCT INFORMATION IS DISPLAYED ON THE SITE "AS IS" AND HAS NOT BEEN INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED BY US. BY YOUR USE OF THE SITE, YOU AGREE THAT WE HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER REGARDING THE ACCURACY OF COMPLETENESS OF THE PRODUCT INFORMATION ON THIS SITE. Inclusion of Product Information in the directory on the Site does not constitute a warranty or representation by us that the Product is a covered bond product or complies with any particular criteria or regulations.
• Completion of the relevant self-certification automated process by the Issuer will lead to the grant of the Covered Bond Label. The grant of such label is entirely within the control of the relevant Issuer, and we do not independently verify whether such Issuer complies with the relevant criteria. The existence of a Covered Bond Label does not represent any opinion by us about the creditworthiness of a Product, the value or price of a Product, the appropriateness of a Product's terms, or the Product's future investment performance. Nothing contained on this Site is intended to predict or project future performance.
• We make no representation that the Products which are featured on the Site are suitable for you and we disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on any Product Information or on the Covered Bond Label by any visitor to the Site, or by anyone who may be informed of any of its contents.
