The Site is available only to, and may only be used by, individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, the Site is not available to children (persons under the age of 18). By accessing and using the Site, you accept, without qualification, these Terms of Use. If you do not approve and accept these Terms of Use without qualification, you should exit the Site immediately.

The Site is for your personal and non-commercial use, and Voce grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable and limited personal license to access and use the Site, conditioned on your continued compliance with these Terms of Use. You may not modify, copy (except as set forth below), distribute, transmit, display, perform, reproduce, publish, license, create derivative works from, transfer, or sell any information, products or services obtained from the Site. You may not link other websites to the Site without the prior written permission of Voce. You may print one hardcopy of the information and download one temporary copy of the information into one single computer’s memory solely for your own personal, non-commercial use and not for distribution, provided that all relevant copyright, trademark and other proprietary notices are kept intact. You may not allow others to use your user name or password to access or use any part of the Site. If your password has been compromised for any reason, you should contact Voce immediately for a new password. If you provide your password to any third party, you will be solely responsible for any actions taken by such third party using your password. All information on the non-public (i.e., password-restricted) areas of the Site is confidential and private and may not be disclosed or distributed by you to any other person for any purpose and is made available solely for your personal use in connection with your investment activities. You are prohibited from using the Site to advertise or perform any commercial solicitation. You also are prohibited from using any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means to access the Site for any purpose without the prior written permission of Voce. You may not take any action that imposes, or may impose, in our sole discretion, an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure, interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Site or any activities conducted on the Site, or bypass any measures we may use to prevent or restrict access to the Site. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.

Funds advised by Voce are not offered through the Site.  An offer regarding any such fund may be made only after you have received a Confidential Private Offering Memorandum concerning that fund and have had the opportunity to discuss all matters concerning any prospective investment that you desire. The Site does not provide all information material to an investor’s decision to invest in any such fund, including, but not limited to, risk factors. For more information, please refer to a fund’s Confidential Private Offering Memorandum and read it carefully before you invest.

The information on the Site is intended to enable investors to understand the nature of Voce’s financial advisory services. It is not intended as and does not constitute investment advice or legal or tax advice or an offer to sell any securities to any person or a solicitation of any person of any offer to purchase any securities. The information in the Site should not be construed as any endorsement, recommendation or sponsorship of any company or security by Voce. There are inherent risks in relying on, using or retrieving any information found on the Site, and Voce urges you to make sure you understand these risks before relying on, using or retrieving any information on the Site. You should evaluate the information made available through the Site, and you should seek the advice of professionals, as appropriate, to evaluate any opinion, advice, product, service or other information.

Voce’s services are designed to integrate with the services provided by its clients’ other financial, legal and tax advisers, not to replace their services. Voce advises its clients from time to time on non-investment related matters, but clients must rely on their other professional advisers for final approval and/or implementation of non-investment matters.

You acknowledge that any requests for information are unsolicited and any information provided shall neither constitute nor be construed as investment advice by Voce to you or constitute the formation of an investment advisory relationship, or any other client relationship. It is strongly recommended that you seek outside advice from a qualified securities professional. Voce does not guarantee the suitability or potential value of any particular investment or information source.
