The Syrian American Chamber of Innovation and Investment (“SACII”) publishes material about investment, regulation and economic development connected to Syria. That subject carries real legal, financial and personal risk, and the rules governing it have changed repeatedly and continue to change. This page states plainly what our material is, and what it is not, so that no reader is left in any doubt.
Everything we publish — articles, research notes, summaries, presentations, event material and answers to questions — is general information for an educated audience. It is not tailored to anyone’s circumstances, and it is not a recommendation to take or refrain from any action.
SACII is not a law firm, an investment adviser, a broker-dealer, a bank, a tax adviser or an accounting firm. Nothing we publish is legal advice, investment advice, tax advice, accounting advice or a compliance opinion. Reading our material, corresponding with us, or attending our events does not create an attorney-client relationship, an advisory relationship or a fiduciary duty.
Obtain advice from qualified professionals licensed in the relevant jurisdiction before you act.
The legal framework governing dealings connected to Syria has changed substantially in recent years and remains subject to further change. What is accurate on the date we publish may not be accurate when you read it.
Where we describe a legal or regulatory position, we date it and cite the official source. That citation is the authority — our summary is not. Always confirm the current position directly against the primary official sources, such as the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Federal Register, and the equivalent authorities in any other jurisdiction that applies to you — and take professional advice.
You are solely responsible for your own compliance with sanctions, export control, anti-money-laundering, anti-corruption and tax law.
Investment involves risk, including the possible loss of the entire amount invested. Investment in emerging, post-conflict and transitional markets carries additional risks, which may include political and security instability, currency volatility and convertibility limits, restrictions on moving capital, incomplete or evolving legal protection, difficulty enforcing contracts and judgments, expropriation risk, limited banking access, and information that is scarce, inconsistent or unverifiable.
Past performance is not a guide to future results. Projections, estimates and forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and may prove wrong. We make no representation that any opportunity described in our material is suitable for you, or that any outcome will be achieved.
We rely on government publications, research institutions, news reporting and other third-party sources, and we cite them so you can check them. We do not independently verify all third-party information and we do not warrant its accuracy or completeness. Citing a source is not an endorsement of it. Figures attributed to third parties — including estimates of reconstruction cost, investment volume or sector size — are those of the cited source, not ours.
Nothing we publish is advice to travel. Government travel advisories for Syria have included severe warnings, and consular assistance available to travellers may be limited or unavailable. Consult your own government’s current travel advice and take your own security advice before making any travel decision.
We do not guarantee any commercial, financial, regulatory or other outcome from the use of our material, participation in our events, or contact with people you meet through us. Introductions and connections are not endorsements, and we do not vet, warrant or accept responsibility for the conduct of any third party.
SACII is nonpartisan and unaffiliated with any political party, religious body or government. Views expressed by individual authors, speakers or participants are their own and are not necessarily those of SACII.
If anything we publish is unclear, or if you believe something we have published is inaccurate or out of date, please tell us — we would rather correct it.
