Motley Fool Extreme Opportunities Subscription Terms of Service

Subscription Terms of Service

These Terms and Conditions are an agreement between you ("you") and The Motley Fool Australia, Pty Ltd ("The Motley Fool," "Fool Australia," or "we"), PO Box 104, Isle of Capri, Qld 4217, by which we provide you access to our service, Motley Fool Extreme Opportunities (the "Service"), an online share investing service that specialises in ASX growth share recommendations.  By subscribing to, and using the Service you are agreeing to be bound by all applicable terms and conditions.

Prior to subscribing, please review our Financial Services Guide (FSG).  By subscribing to and using the Service, you specifically acknowledge that you have received, read and understood our FSG.

Warning – General Advice Only

The Service provides investing commentary and recommendations for buying and selling shares of publicly traded companies.  As stated in our FSG, The Motley Fool (AFSL 400691) provides only general financial advice.  That is, the information contained in the Service has been prepared without taking your personal circumstances into account.  You should therefore consider the appropriateness of the advice we provide in light of your own objectives, financial situation or needs before acting on any of our recommendations.  Before buying any of our recommendations, you should also review any product disclosure statement (PDS), prospectus or other disclosure document provided by the issuer.

You may email your comments and questions about our coverage and our advisors will endeavour to respond to them either directly to you via email, or in a public forum.  Whether our response is via email or made on a public forum, we will not (and cannot) address your specific investment situation and our comments will not constitute advice that a specific security, strategy or action is suitable for you.  If you feel you need personalised advice, please consult your accountant or other finance professional.

You therefore agree that all commentary, statements of opinion and recommendations found in the Service and any related material as well as any communication from Fool Australia to you (including in any emails or discussion forums) is general advice only and we have not taken into account your personal objectives, financial situation or circumstances when preparing or providing such information.  You further agree that you bear all the responsibility for your own investment research and investment decisions.

Scorecard Performance

The Services' returns are hypothetical and based on the percentage change between the share price at the time of recommendation and the current or sell price (if the position has been closed) at the time of publication. Brokerage, taxes and any other associated costs are not taken into account.

Please remember that investments can go up and down.  Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future returns.  Performance figures are not intended to be a forecast and we do not guarantee the performance of, or returns on any investment.

Subscription, Payment; Automatic Renewal

The Service is available only by subscription, meaning that you sign up for a set term. All Service fees are non-refundable, except as required by Australian Consumer Protection statutes. All service fees are due in advance. Regardless of initial term, your subscription will automatically renew for a one year term, after the expiration of the initial term, until you notify us of your decision to terminate your membership. Accordingly, you agree that your subscription fee will be billed automatically at the beginning of each renewal period.   For information on the cost of the Service, please consult our FSG.

Currently, you can pay for your subscription via credit card or PayPal. If you indicate that you wish to pay via PayPal, you will be transferred to the PayPal website to complete the purchase. Please note that once on the PayPal site you are subject to PayPal's policies and terms of service, which are completely outside of The Motley Fool's control.

Prices published on Fool.com.au are quoted in Australian dollars and are inclusive of GST and all other duties and taxes, as required by law. The Motley Fool cannot issue refunds or withhold from your subscription fee any amounts for GST.  If you think you are entitled to a GST refund, please contact the Australian Tax Office.

The Motley Fool reserves the right to increase the Service's subscription fee or institute new charges upon reasonable notice.

Cancellation of Membership

You may cancel your membership at any time by contacting [email protected].  All fees are non-refundable except as required by Australian Consumer Protection statutes.   Accordingly, you agree that your Service fee will be billed automatically at the beginning of each renewal period and except as expressly provided in these terms, any Service fee paid hereunder is non-refundable. If you cancel your subscription within 30 days of renewal, you will receive a full refund for the applicable term. Except as expressly stated in these terms, after this 30-day period, all fees are non-refundable except as required by Australian Consumer Protection statutes. Also, under our Anti Money Laundering procedures, Fool Australia will not issue you a refund totalling more than $5000 in any six-month period without additional verification as to your identity.
