Risks involved in the use of the IT and Internet system
The customer is aware of the fact that using computers and the Internet exposes him to a number of risks including, in particular:
(a) the possibility that an unauthorized third party might access the customer's account;
(b) the possibility that the relationship between the customer and the Bank might be revealed;
(c) the possibility that computer viruses might infect the customer's computer system without the customer's knowledge;
(d) the possibility that third parties might send messages to the customer, claiming to represent the Bank.
(a) the possibility that an unauthorized third party might access the customer's account;
(b) the possibility that the relationship between the customer and the Bank might be revealed;
(c) the possibility that computer viruses might infect the customer's computer system without the customer's knowledge;
(d) the possibility that third parties might send messages to the customer, claiming to represent the Bank.
The customer undertakes to obtain full information (and acknowledges that he alone is responsible for doing so) regarding the risks to which he may be exposed and regarding any necessary security measures.
Consequences of use of the IT system
The Bank shall not be liable for any loss suffered by the customer resulting from IT use, including in particular the actions of unauthorized third parties passing themselves off as the customer or the Bank, transmission errors, transmission failures, technical faults, overloads, breakdowns (including but not limited to maintenance activities due to the maintenance system), system downtime, malfunctions, interference, attacks (e.g. hacking), blocked communications and networks (e.g. mail bombing) or other failures, regardless of who is responsible.
The customer will therefore take the necessary precautions to ensure the confidentiality of all information, including, among other things, the system password, user ID, portfolio details, transaction activities, account balances, as well as all other information and all orders.
The customer assumes all liability arising in connection with technical access to the Bank's services. The customer shall be responsible for acquiring, installing and configuring the appropriate hardware and software, in order to set up his connection with the Bank's online services. The Bank shall not be liable for any actions of the access provider or for any software and/or hardware that it has not supplied itself.
Banking secrecy
The customer is aware of and acknowledges the fact that data relating to him is transmitted via open and generally public networks (the Internet), which are not encrypted. Accordingly, data is transmitted in a regular and unmonitored manner, including outside the borders of Switzerland, even in cases where the sender and the recipient are both based in Switzerland. Even if data is encrypted, this encryption may not extend to the sender or the recipient; and this fact could lead third parties to infer the identity of the sender and the recipient. The Bank accepts no liability for this.
