No offer, advice or recommendation

The information, views and documents published on the R&Co website are for information purposes only. They do not constitute an offer or a solicitation to buy or sell products, nor a recommendation to engage in other transactions or to conclude any legal transaction. It is expressly stated that no advice is given via the R&Co website. The information is also not intended as an aid to making decisions about legal, tax, economic or other questions. Before making a decision based on the information on our website, please consult a qualified specialist at R&Co.

Advertising for services and financial instruments is indicated as such.

R&Co is not obliged to accept or execute orders, revocations of orders, authorisations for business transactions or other declarations of legal effect (e.g. payment orders, changes of address, blocking of accounts or credit cards, etc.) that are transmitted to it via the R&Co website. Excepted are any special agreements between you and R&Co, as well as specific contact options (e.g. order forms for publications).

R&Co reserves the right to reject orders that do not comply with the Bank’s internal regulations or the regulatory requirements, at any time and without giving reasons, and to cancel orders that have already been placed. The Bank accepts no liability for losses arising from orders not executed on time or rejected orders.

Exclusion of warranty and liability

R&Co takes all reasonable care to ensure that the information this website contains is accurate and complete at the time of publication. However, R&Co does not make any warranty explicitly or tacitly as to its accuracy, reliability, timeliness or completeness.

Past performance of financial instruments is no indicator of future performance. Asset value can increase or decrease. In extreme cases, all invested capital could be lost. Investments in foreign currencies may also be subject to currency fluctuations.

Data privacy and data use

If you provide us with personal data such as name, gender, address, e-mail or telephone number by means of a form or in any other way via the R&Co website, R&Co may use this data for the purposes set out in the data protection declaration.

By submitting the data, users grant R&Co the right to process the information within the Bank, for example for marketing purposes.

You will find more information about data privacy in our privacy policy.

Data security

The R&Co website allows you to send electronic messages to R&Co, and to subscribe to the newsletter. When using the R&Co website and when communicating by electronic means, your data are transmitted over an open, generally accessible network. This means that the data may also be transmitted across borders, even if both the sender and recipient are located in Switzerland.

R&Co accepts no liability for the security of data during their transmission via electronic media. Because the data which you transmit to R&Co, or arrange to have transmitted by R&Co, via an electronic medium, in particular via the Internet, e-mail, SMS etc., is usually sent in unencrypted form, it may be possible for unauthorised third parties to intercept, modify or view this data, or it may get lost. These unauthorised third parties may then be able to draw conclusions about existing or future business relationships. Therefore, please refrain from sending us confidential information via electronic media without first consulting us.

Moreover R&Co expressly refers to the risk of viruses and the possibility of attacks by hackers. To protect against viruses, R&Co recommends that you use the latest version of the browser and install anti-virus software with the latest current updates as well as a firewall. As a rule you must avoid opening any e-mails of unknown origin or attachments that are not expected.

Applicable law and place of jurisdiction

Use of the R&Co website is subject exclusively to Swiss law, which applies to the interpretation, use and consequences of these terms of use. Any disputes in connection with this website or its use shall be subject to the sole jurisdiction of the courts of Lucerne.
