Now this is one of the most difficult parts of a website to develop, it’s important, however not everyone reads it (not sure what your guess would be, however we would think far less than 10% of the website visitors). What we’ll try and do is have a very high level summary of a few key points or at least those that we think are key points, followed by a Tab based structure, which we will expand as we go along and add to our website and knowledge, with each policy in pdf format so that they can easily be read or printed out.
Key Points
- Main disclaimer
- Opinions expressed
- Intended audience

Everyone / entity has different needs, risks, is at different stages of their life or development, every geographical location has it’s own laws and regulations, as such consult with a suitably Qualified Financial Advisor who can assist and advise you based on your circumstances and requirements.
Any decisions you make after reading a blog post or other information on this website are your responsibility and we can’t be held liable for anything you choose to do. Any reliance you place on such material is therefore strictly at your own risk.
The opinions expressed on the Website are not intended to malign any religion, ethnic group, organisation, company or individual.

By using this Site, you represent, acknowledge and agree that you are at least 18 years of age, or if you are under 18 years of age but are at least 13 years old (a “Minor”), that you are using the Site with the consent of your parent or legal guardian and that you have received your parent’s or legal guardian’s permission to use the Site and agree to its Terms.

Now this is one of the really critical sections these days and for good reason, it’s valuable and if it’s personal it’s private. Not only is it critical to protect any data that may be collected, the world we live in is highly complex, with rapidly growing and increasingly complex technologies, laws and regulations abound, differing by geographical location and within those geographies many different interpretations exist.
We’ll try take the approach of collecting as little information as possible. As an example for our Newsletter, that would be your preferred name and e-mail address. Of course we would like to know which country you’re based and your interests, however that is not required information to register for a Newsletter and as such we don’t ask for it.
Some of the links on the website may be “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I may receive an affiliate commission. Regardless, I only recommend products or services that we use and believe will add value to our readers. We will endeavour to highlight these links when they’re present and is one of the reasons that we have a specific page on affiliate marketing.
E&OE – Errors and omissions excepted – we will try to be as complete & accurate as possible, however errors & omissions can happen. Please point these out if you think that we’ve made an error or missed something. We do however include the E&OE disclaimer, particularly as we’re aiming to be a global site and with all of the Laws & Regulations in all countries it’s impossible for a small entity to be aware of and to cater for them all.
