Institutional Intelligent Portfolios® Mobile Website Limitations
The Institutional Intelligent Portfolios® Mobile websites will work across the networks of a number of wireless service providers. Independent investment advisors ("Advisors") may also offer content on the Institutional Intelligent Portfolios Mobile website via wireless service providers. However, Schwab Performance Technologies, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., and their affiliates (collectively, "Schwab") and the Advisors whose services you may access do not operate these wireless networks or have control over the operation of any wireless service provider. Schwab and the Advisors disclaim any responsibility for any wireless service used to access Schwab websites. For more information about specific limitations associated with wireless service, continue reading below.
Availability
Wireless service depends on many factors outside of Schwab's or the Advisors' control, including the strength of wireless coverage and the networks of your wireless service provider. Wireless access may also be limited or unavailable during periods of peak demand, market volatility, systems upgrades, or maintenance, or for other reasons.
Speed
The speed of wireless transmissions depends upon the wireless service you are using and the strength of wireless coverage in your area. Wireless transmissions are likely to be slower than service over a wired network.
Dropped Connections
It is possible that a wireless connection can be interrupted when you are attempting to conduct a financial transaction. Should this happen, review your transaction status to verify the status of your attempted transaction when you return to an area with wireless coverage or have access to a computer. Or contact your Schwab representative at the number provided in the "Contact Us" section of the Mobile website. Advisor Services (Institutional) clients, contact your independent advisor or call 800-515-2157.
Delays
If wireless service is unavailable or delayed at any time, please use alternative means to conduct your financial transaction—such as calling a Schwab representative. Neither Schwab nor the Advisors will be liable to you if you are unable to access your account information or request a transaction through the Mobile website.
Privacy/Security
Use of the Mobile website involves the electronic transmission of personal financial information across the networks of your wireless service provider. Because neither Schwab nor the Advisors operate or control the wireless networks used to access the Mobile website, we cannot guarantee the privacy or security of wireless data transmissions. Use only reputable service providers and check with your wireless service provider for information about its privacy and security practices.
