3. Website Use

This website is provided for informational purposes. Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice. Information about the firm's services describes the general nature of those services and should not be relied upon as advice in relation to any specific matter.

The firm makes reasonable efforts to keep the information on this website accurate and current, but does not warrant that it is complete, accurate, or up to date at any given time.

4. Services

Pension Position Sitting

A single consultation at which the firm reviews the client's situation and provides a measured initial view. A written note is provided after the sitting. This service does not create an ongoing retainer or obligation for further engagement.

The scope and deliverables will be confirmed in writing before the first sitting. The fee of SGD 320 covers the stated scope.

5. Fees and Payment

Fees are as stated on this website and confirmed in writing before any service begins. All fees are in Singapore Dollars (SGD) and are inclusive of GST where applicable.

The firm's services are provided on the basis of the information and documents made available by the client. The firm cannot accept responsibility for outcomes arising from inaccurate or incomplete information provided by the client.

Legal outcomes are inherently uncertain. The firm provides its best assessment of the likely position based on the available evidence but does not warrant any particular result.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by the firm's negligence.
