Such recommendations may only be made by a personal advisor or the broker you select.
Most investments involve the risk of loss. Although this service makes every effort to protect your principal, you can lose money. Therefore, it is not for all of your funds. If your goal for a certain portion of your funds is strictly capital preservation, I believe you should invest those funds in conservative.
Most of the information I publish is derived from primary sources, including financial institutions or publicly traded companies I cover. I believe my data sources are accurate, but I do not verify their accuracy independently. Therefore, I cannot assure you that the information is accurate or complete. Nor do I guarantee the success of any investment decision you may make using our data, information, or recommendations.
References to examples of past performance are not intended to provide a total picture of portfolio results. Naturally, your results may vary considerably depending on a series of factors, including: (a) when you begin or cease investing, (b) which recommendations you choose to act on, (c) how much money you choose to invest in each recommendation, (d) the specific prices you get, (e) the broker commissions you pay, (f) the interest income you earn on uninvested funds, (g) the number and magnitude of losing or winning trades you experience and (h) your personal tax liability. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. Similar returns may or may not be actually achieved by subscribers.
III. Registration and conclusion of the contract
Dragonfolio China offers high-quality journalistic content from the areas of business, finance, economics, culture, and stock exchange in digital form on its Dragonfolio China websites. Parts of the content are generally freely accessible to everyone. For certain material, registration, and for other content in the premium area, payment by the customer is required. Registration is free of charge but requires a functional email address. There is no legal claim to access to the content.
To gain access to the premium area, which is subject to a fee, the customer must also have a premium membership. Premium membership requires electronic registration, which must be done using the registration form available on the Dragonfolio China websites. The data required for registration must be provided completely and truthfully by the customer.
By submitting the premium membership form, the customer submits a legally binding offer. The customer specifies a user name and a password when registering as when logging in. The access authorization only applies to the customer personally; it is not transferable. The customer is responsible for the confidentiality of the user name and password. The customer is entitled to have access blocked if he becomes aware of possible misuse of the services.
IV. Use and obligations of the customer
All contents of this website are protected by copyright law and other protective laws. The customer may only use the contents of the Dragonfolio China websites for personal needs, for their own, non-commercial purposes. This also applies expressly to parts of the content, such as individual articles, photos, or comments.
In particular, the common use of the fee-based content of the Dragonfolio China website is prohibited if several people can access the content of the Dragonfolio China website using the same access code. The customer is also prohibited from reproducing, editing, redesigning, publishing, distributing, selling, selling, passing on the content of the Dragonfolio China websites beyond what is stipulated, in any way whatsoever - economically exploitable.
The customer is further prohibited from circumventing the intended access control services by using technical means or otherwise overriding them. In particular, the customer will not misuse his access options, in particular not in contradiction to these terms and conditions, and will respect the laws and the rights of third parties.
Dragonfolio China reserves the right to investigate these processes if there is suspicion of improper use or significant breaches of contract, take appropriate precautions and, if there is reasonable suspicion, block the customer's access to the content - or at least until the customer has cleared a doubt - and if necessary, to terminate the contractual relationship without notice in the event of, particularly serious violations.
If the customer clears the suspicion, the block will be lifted. The customer must compensate Dragonfolio China for the damage resulting from its breaches of duty. The liability of the customer is limited to those cases for which he is responsible.
V. Customer content
As part of the intended use, the customer can also provide Dragonfolio China with its content and upload this content to the Dragonfolio China websites. This is typically done, but not limited to, through a comment on articles, a contribution in the forums, or a guest contribution from the customer.
The customer is prohibited from posting or uploading content that is not permitted by law or otherwise prohibited or discriminatory content. The customer is obliged to observe the usage rules of the forum as well as the rights of third parties. This applies in particular, but not limited to, the copyrights of third parties to texts, videos or images, or the right to one's image in the case of third parties depicted.

The customer has no claim to publication of the uploaded or uploaded content, just as there is no contractual right to use the forum.

This proprietary material is protected in all forms, media, and technologies now known or hereinafter developed.
With the exception of uses allowed, users may not copy, download, use redesign, reconfigure, or re-transmit anything from the Dragonfolio China website or through any other publicly displayed venue or presentation without Dragonfolio China's prior express written permission.

Any use of such proprietary material, other than as permitted herein, is expressly prohibited without the prior permission of Dragonfolio China and/or the relevant right holder.
X. Late payment
As soon as and as long as a customer is in default of payment, Dragonfolio China is entitled to block access to the content. If the customer does not make a timely payment, Dragonfolio China will warn the customer by setting a deadline. If the customer ignores these reminders, Dragonfolio China is free to take further appropriate legal action. In addition to the outstanding subscription fees, the customer has to bear all costs of legal proceedings (including reminder costs, costs for a collection agency, etc.). Dragonfolio China expressly reserves the right to assert further claims.
XI. Termination
Ordinary termination from the customer is excluded in the event of an agreed minimum subscription period. The minimum subscription period for paid content depends on the contract concluded (normally one year).
Unless otherwise agreed, subscriptions are automatically extended for the term of the contract, but for a maximum of one year, unless they are canceled at least one month before the end of the contract.
Dragonfolio.net is entitled to change the scope, type, and content of the services offered at any time without notice, provided that the customer is not thereby made worse by the bindingly promised services.
Dragonfolio.net is also entitled at any time to discontinue the operation of the dragonfolio.net website, to transfer it in whole or in part to third parties, to reduce or adapt legally binding benefits or to terminate the contractual relationship with the customer prematurely. In this case, remuneration paid in advance by the customer will be reimbursed pro-rata to the extent that it relates to services that have not yet been received.
The extraordinary termination is free to both parties if the legal requirements are met. Terminations must always be made in writing. When the termination takes effect, the right to use the affected content expires.
XII. Right of withdrawal and consequences
If you are a private consumer, you have the right to cancel a contract within 14 days without giving a reason. The cancellation period is fourteen days from the day the contract is concluded.
In order to exercise your right of cancellation, you must inform me of your decision to cancel this contract through a clear statement (e.g., by email). To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication regarding your exercise of the right of cancellation before the cancellation period expires.
If you cancel a contract, I will refund all payments I have received from you, including delivery costs, immediately and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which I received notification of your cancellation of this contract. For this repayment, I use the same means of payment that you used in the original transaction unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; Under no circumstances will you be charged any fees for this repayment on our part.
Since you have immediate access to all digital content with the activation and a return of our services is therefore impossible, I can only activate this after the above withdrawal period has expired.
If you want to avoid this waiting time, you can explicitly instruct me to execute the contract immediately. In this case, your right of cancellation expires, and I will promptly activate your digital content.
XIII. Liability, warranty, and exemption
If content from dragonfolio.net is made available to the customer free of charge, dragonfolio.net is liable for its own content in accordance with the statutory provisions for gifts. A guarantee for defects is not accepted. The services provided on the dragonfolio.net websites are subject to availability and can be changed or discontinued at any time.
In the case of paid content, dragonfolio.net is liable for its content in accordance with the statutory provisions for damage to the customer that was caused intentionally or through gross negligence, the result of the non-existence of a guaranteed quality of the service item, which is based on a culpable violation of essential contractual obligations a culpable injury to health, limb or life, or for which liability is provided under the Product Liability Act.
For the rest, liability – regardless of the legal reason – is excluded both towards dragonfolio.net and towards its employees, organs, and agents.
In particular, dragonfolio.net is not liable for legal violations in transmitted, stored, or linked third-party content insofar as dragonfolio.net did not know about these legal violations. As soon as dragonfolio.net becomes aware of such violations, this content will be removed immediately.
As far as warranty claims can exist, the legal regulations apply.
The customer releases dragonfolio.net, its employees, organs, and agents from all third party claims and indemnifies them against any third-party claims that arise due to its culpable behavior or in connection with its use of the dragonfolio.net websites or directly or indirectly result from it.
