No offer and no solicitation 

The Information does not constitute an offer of or solicitation for the purchase or disposal of, trading or any transaction in any Arcadis securities. Investors must not rely on the Information for investment decisions.

Forward-looking information 

Statements included on the website and apps that are not historical facts (including any statements concerning investment objectives, other plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or assumptions or forecasts related thereto) are forward looking statements. These statements are only predictions and are not guarantees. Actual events or the results of our operations could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward looking statements. Forward looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "could," "intend," "plan," "anticipate," "estimate," "believe," "continue," "predict," "potential" or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. The forward looking statements are based upon our expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties, all as at their date or the moment they were first included on the website and apps. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward looking statements. 

Law and jurisdiction 

These Terms of Use, including the Cookie Policy and the Privacy Statement, shall be exclusively governed by Law of the Netherlands. All disputes arising in connection with these Terms of Use, including the Cookie Policy and the Privacy Statement, including but not limited to disputes concerning the existence and validity thereof, shall be resolved by the competent courts of Amsterdam.

To make this website work properly, we sometimes place small data files called "cookies" on your device. 

 What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit our website. Through cookies, Arcadis is able to improve the user-friendliness of the website and to adjust the website to your needs. It enables us to remember your actions and preferences (such as language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to our website or browse from one page to another.

As far as these third parties have access to personal data in order to execute these processing, Arcadis has taken the required organizational and contractual measures to ensure that your personal data is exclusively processed for the purposes mentioned above. Arcadis may transfer your personal data to its group companies. In case Arcadis sells all or some of the assets or shares of a group company to which personal data was transferred to a third party, your personal data may be provided to this third party.
