Disclaimer.

01 — Binding effect

These terms apply to every visit to the Website. We may amend them at any time by publishing a revised version; continued use after publication constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. Where a specific engagement letter has been signed between you and us, that letter takes precedence over the general terms below.

02 — Copyright

All material on the Website — text, images, code, marks, layouts, and the design itself — is owned by Gold Maple Tree Limited or its affiliates, or used under licence. All rights are reserved. No material may be reproduced, distributed, transmitted, modified, or otherwise exploited without our prior written consent, except for ordinary personal viewing in a browser.

“Affiliate” means any holding company, subsidiary, or entity under common ownership or control with Gold Maple Tree Limited.

03 — Trademarks

“Gold Maple Tree”, the maple-leaf mark, and any associated logos and service marks are the property of Gold Maple Tree Limited. Other names and marks shown on the Website are the property of their respective owners. Nothing on the Website grants any licence or right to use any mark without prior written consent.

04 — Use of materials

The Website describes services we offer in certain jurisdictions only. Nothing on the Website is an offer or solicitation in any jurisdiction in which such an offer would be unlawful. Information on the Website is provided for general guidance and does not constitute legal, tax, financial, or other professional advice. You should obtain independent advice before acting on any information you find here.

05 — No warranty

All content on the Website is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including without limitation any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Website will be free from errors, viruses, or other harmful components.

06 — Availability

We use reasonable endeavours to keep the Website available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Website may be unavailable from time to time due to maintenance, third-party failures, breaches of these terms, or for any other reason at our discretion, with or without notice.

07 — Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Gold Maple Tree Limited and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses — arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Website, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

08 — Third-party links and content

The Website may contain links to third-party websites or embed third-party content (for example, the Google Maps frame on the Engage page). We do not control such sites or content and are not responsible for their availability, accuracy, content, or practices. Inclusion of a link is not an endorsement.

09 — Submissions

Any information you submit to us through the Website (other than personal data, which is handled under our Privacy Notice) becomes our property and may be used by us for any lawful purpose, without obligation of confidentiality, except where a separate written agreement says otherwise.

10 — Governing law and jurisdiction
