Terms of Use and your acceptance of them. Read before continuing.
Burundi Investment Group, Inc. (referred as “BIG”) is pleased to provide you with the information, content, tools, products and services on all BIG Sites (the term "BIG Sites" refers to all BIG web sites, as well as to the content on them). Because these Terms of Use cover multiple web sites, some terms may refer to items that are available only on certain BIG sites. These Terms of Use also include some important disclosures and information related to certain products and services. Your use of BIG Sites is subject to these Terms of Use ("Terms"). There are many different BIG companies ("BIG Entities"), and their affiliates, that provide information, content, tools, products and services on and through the BIG Sites. These BIG Entities are identified below and in each part of the BIG Sites where they provide such information, content and services.
These Terms are a binding agreement between you and the BIG Entities listed below, as well as their U.S. affiliates ("BIG"). By using or accessing the BIG Sites, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms. Your use of BIG Sites is governed by the version of the Terms in effect on the date each BIG Site is accessed by you. BIG may modify these Terms at any time and without prior notice. You should review the most current version of these Terms by visiting a BIG Site and clicking on the Terms of Use hyperlink located at the bottom of the page. These Terms are in addition to any other agreements between you and BIG, including any customer or account agreements, and any other agreements that govern your use of information, content, tools, products and services available on and through the BIG Sites.

Honesty, integrity and personal responsibility are the longstanding foundations of BIG’s business practices. BIG is committed to these principles and to conducting its business in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

4. Limitations on investment guidance and professional advice
The BIG Sites are not intended to provide legal, tax, investment or insurance advice.

Certain investment planning tools available on the BIG Sites may provide general investment education based on your input. You are solely responsible for determining whether any investment, investment strategy, security or related transaction is appropriate for you based on your personal investment objectives, financial circumstances and risk tolerance.
