4. GENERAL TERMS OF SERVICE

A list of API Global’s range of property-related services is available on request.  API Global hereby represents to you, and you acknowledge and agree, that:

• save as provided in API Global’s Client Services Agreement, and in any terms and conditions annexed to the Unit Application Form as signed by you, all contracts are entered into between you and the relevant company and/or institution and not between you and API Global;
• API Global and its representatives have at no time made to you any warranties, promises or forecasts as to any expected return on investment or rental yields, and neither API Global nor its representatives have the authority to make such warranties, promises or forecasts;
• API Global and its representatives are not carrying on (and shall not carry on), nor holding themselves out as carrying on, a business in a “regulated activity” (as such term is defined by the FCA);

All plans and specifications provided to you are provided as a guide only and are subject to variations, modifications and amendments as required by relevant authorities, developers and/or architects.

RISK DISCLOSURE

You acknowledge that:

• investment in property is relatively illiquid and more difficult to realise than equities or bonds. Property values may be adversely affected by illiquidity in the property market. The value of investment in property involves risks and the value of property and associated rental yields may go down as well as up, being generally affected by overall conditions in the economy, such as growth in GDP, employment trends, changes in inflation and interest rates. The property market is volatile and property prices may fluctuate (down as well as up) widely;
• both the value of property and associated rental yields may be affected by other factors specific to the property market, such as competition from other property owners, the perceptions of prospective tenants of the attractiveness, convenience and safety of properties, the inability to collect rents because of the insolvency of tenants or otherwise, the periodic need to renovate, repair and re-lease space and the costs thereof, the costs of maintenance and insurance, and increased operating costs. Similarly, rent reviews may not result in rental yields from any property being received at the expected rental value; and
• the rental market may also be affected by uncertainty relating to political issues.

Whilst API Global may undertake various background checks on property companies or financial institutions that it introduces to you, it is your responsibility to instruct your own advisers with respect to the legal, tax, regulatory, financial and accounting consequences of a particular property-related transaction, before proceeding with that transaction.
