1. Provision of general data and information
RWE Aktiengesellschaft (RWE) endeavours to ensure the accuracy of the information and data provided on its websites and in its newsletter. However, RWE does not guarantee this and shall not be held liable for the timeliness, correctness and completeness of the information and data provided. This particularly applies to any indicated prices. RWE reserves the right to modify or supplement the information and data provided without prior notice.
The information provided on the websites and in the newsletter may include forward-looking statements. These statements reflect the views, expectations, and assumptions of the management at the time they were made and are based on information available to the management at the time they were made. While the responsible persons make these forward-looking statements according to their best knowledge and in good conscience, such statements are not guarantees of future results or developments and are connected with known and unknown risks and uncertainties. The actual future results and developments may therefore differ substantially from the expectations and assumptions expressed here, as a result of a number of factors. These factors specifically include changes in the general economic circumstances and the competitive environment. In addition, developments on the financial markets and exchange rate fluctuations as well as national and international legislative changes, in particular changes with regard to tax regulations, as well as other factors, may have an impact on the future results and developments of RWE or a company affiliated with RWE. Neither RWE nor any of its affiliates undertake any obligation to update such statements.
2. Newsletter
RWE offers interested persons the option of subscribing to a newsletter. RWE thus provides users with an opportunity to regularly receive information about RWE shares and the RWE Group by email. This offer is based on the following provisions, to which the user consents when registering for the RWE newsletter.
RWE may change the terms of use for this voluntary offer entirely or partially at any time. In the event of such changes, the user will be informed of the amended terms of use in a notification sent to the email address obtained in the registration procedure. RWE will remind the user of their consent in this notification of changes. If the user refuses to consent to the amended terms of use, the user will be unsubscribed from the newsletter subscription, and will not receive any further newsletters in the future.
The user is not entitled to the newsletter service. RWE is entitled to temporarily suspend the distribution of the newsletter at any time without prior notice, and to discontinue the distribution entirely or partially.
RWE processes the email address, names and other personal data provided by the users when they register for a newsletter subscription only for the purpose of sending the subscribed newsletters to the users on a regular basis.
Further information on the processing of personal data can be found in the privacy statement.
3. Stock exchange data
The stock exchange data on the RWE websites and in the newsletter are provided by third parties. RWE does not guarantee the timeliness, correctness and completeness of the information and data provided. This data provides the user with an overview of the RWE Group for information purposes only, and is not a suggestion or solicitation to buy, sell or otherwise trade securities.
4. Third-party offers/ websites
RWE websites and RWE newsletters may contain links to external third-party websites. RWE also cooperates with various partner companies and presents their offers on the RWE websites or in the newsletter. Users of the websites or the newsletter have the opportunity to visit partner companies’ websites by means of hyperlinks from these offers, and thus obtain services from them. Any resulting contractual relationship shall be established exclusively with the partner company under the conditions specified by the partner company. RWE shall not be held liable for any third-party content. The provider or operator of the third-party website is always responsible for the content of any linked webpages. All linked webpages were carefully examined for possible legal violations at the time the hyperlink was added. Such illegal content was not identified at that time. However, constant monitoring of all linked webpages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a violation of law. Upon knowledge of any legal violations, RWE will remove the hyperlinks to the affected webpages immediately.
