Important information about the use of this website, BMX market data, and ExchangeNet platform content.
1. General
The information published on this website is provided by the Botswana Mercantile Exchange ("BMX") for general information purposes only. While BMX takes reasonable care to ensure that content is accurate and up to date, all information is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. Nothing on this website constitutes, or should be relied upon as, an offer, solicitation, recommendation, or commitment of any kind by BMX.
2. Market Data & Prices
Commodity prices, indices, tickers, order-book depth, and historical series displayed on this website are drawn from the ExchangeNet trading platform and BMX's official records. They are published for informational purposes only, may be delayed, and may be corrected or restated in accordance with the BMX Rulebook. Where a live feed is temporarily unavailable, the site indicates that values are indicative. BMX accepts no liability for trading, hedging, or commercial decisions made in reliance on data published on this website. The authoritative record of any trade is the confirmation issued through the ExchangeNet platform, not this website.
3. No Investment, Legal, or Tax Advice
Nothing on this website constitutes investment, legal, accounting, or tax advice. Trading in commodities, warehouse receipts, and related instruments involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Prices can move rapidly and past performance of any commodity or series is not indicative of future results. Prospective participants should read the BMX Rulebook and contract specifications and, where appropriate, obtain independent professional advice before trading.
4. AI-Generated Content (ExchangeBot)
The ExchangeNet platform includes AI-assisted features, including the ExchangeBot assistant, market insights, anomaly alerts, and price forecasts generated by ExchangeNet's machine-learning models. These outputs are produced automatically from historical and live market data, are probabilistic in nature, and may be incomplete or incorrect. They are provided for information only, do not constitute advice or a prediction by BMX, and must not be the sole basis for any trading or commercial decision.
5. Regulatory Status
BMX operates under the oversight of the Non-Bank Financial Institutions Regulatory Authority (NBFIRA) and cooperates with the Financial Intelligence Agency, the Bank of Botswana, and other competent authorities. References to regulation on this website are descriptive only and do not imply that any regulator endorses the content of this website or any commodity traded on the exchange.
6. Third-Party Content & Links
This website may reference or link to third-party websites, data providers, member firms, warehouse operators, and logistics partners. BMX does not control and is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of third-party sites or services, and a reference or link does not constitute an endorsement.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the Republic of Botswana, BMX, its directors, employees, members, and agents shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special loss or damage arising from the use of, or inability to use, this website or any information on it.
