Risk management

This website and any services described in it are not intended for individuals and are intended only for persons with sufficient knowledge and experience of financial instruments and their markets, adequate regulated status or sufficient assets such that they could be classified in the UK as Market Counterparties or Intermediate Customers (as those terms are defined by the UK Financial Services & Markets Act 2000 and the FSA Handbook,) or in the US as Eligible Contract Participants (as that term is defined in the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act).

This information is not advice on or a recommendation of any of the matters described herein, whether they consist of financing structures (including, but not limited to senior debt, subordinated debt and equity, production payments and producer loans), investments, financial instruments, hedging strategies or any combination of such matters and no information contained herein constitutes an offer or solicitation by or on behalf of BP plc or any of its subsidiaries (collectively "BP") to enter into any contractual arrangement relating to such matters. BP makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, adequacy, reasonableness or completeness of the information, assumptions or analysis contained herein or in any supplemental materials, and BP accepts no liability in connection therewith.

There is no assurance that the structures described herein will hedge risks the recipient may incur in the operation of its business. Entering into any financing or risk management product arrangements, or dealing in any financial instrument, may expose you to inappropriate financial risk and in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law.

Such a hyperlink does not signify that BP or its subsidiaries have reviewed or approve of the connected third party's website or its contents - indeed in certain instances a hyperlink may connect you to a third party's website containing views contradictory to those expressed on our website or otherwise held by BP and its subsidiaries.
