Electronic mail (email) disclaimer & policy

The following information relates to email sent by Arram Berlyn Gardner, ABG Business Support Services Ltd and ABG Corporate Finance - (hereafter collectively referred to as ABG Group)

To save space when corresponding with our clients, ABG Group emails have an abbreviated disclaimer at the end of each email message. For clarification purposes, the full email disclaimer & policy for the ABG Group is listed below.

The purpose of this email disclaimer & policy is to ensure that people who communicate with the ABG Group understand the way in which electronic mail (email) should be used. Its aim is to ensure that email is used effectively for its intended purpose without infringing legal requirements or creating unnecessary business risk.

ABG Group emails and any files transmitted with them are confidential. If you are not the intended recipient, any reading, printing, storage, disclosure, copying or any other action taken in respect of the email is prohibited and may be unlawful. If you are not the intended recipient, please notify the sender immediately by using the reply function and then permanently delete what you have received from all mail folders (Inbox/Sent Items/Deleted Items).

No employee or agent of the ABG Group is authorised to conclude any binding agreement on behalf of the ABG Group with another party by email without the express written confirmation of an authorised signatory.

Any views, statements and opinions expressed by the sender of an email are not necessarily those of the ABG Group. ABG Group employees are expressly requested, among other things, not to make any defamatory, threatening or obscene statements and not to infringe any legal right (including any infringement of copyright) by email communication.
