• —terms and conditions; or
• —products or services they provide.

The inclusion of an external link does not necessarily mean that AVOW Advisory endorses or recommends the third party or its services.

You should review the applicable terms and privacy information of any third-party website you choose to visit.

We aim to keep the website available and functioning properly, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access.

The website may occasionally be unavailable because of:

For information about how we process personal information, please see our Privacy Notice.

The website is a public source of information.

Information you submit through the website should not be assumed to be confidential unless AVOW Advisory has expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

If you become a client of AVOW Advisory, the confidentiality of your client relationship and conversations will be governed by the separate confidentiality provisions contained in your client agreement.

Nothing in these Website Terms replaces or limits a separate confidentiality agreement between AVOW Advisory and a client.

AVOW Advisory does not guarantee that using the website or engaging with information published on it will result in any particular:

• —business outcome;
• —professional outcome;
• —financial result;
• —decision;
• —personal outcome; or
• —improvement in circumstances.

The purpose of the website is to explain the AVOW approach and services. Individual outcomes depend on circumstances outside our control.

We do not exclude or limit liability where doing so would be unlawful.

Subject to that, AVOW Advisory will not be responsible for losses arising solely from your use of, or reliance upon, information contained on this website where such loss could reasonably have been avoided by obtaining appropriate independent advice or taking reasonable steps to verify the information.

We will not be responsible for losses caused by:

• —your misuse of the website;

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for matters that cannot legally be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or your legal rights as a consumer.

Where you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms affects rights that you have under applicable consumer protection law. Consumer service terms must remain fair and transparent, and businesses cannot rely on terms that unlawfully remove consumers’ legal rights.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to remove or restrict any legal rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

If you are a consumer, your statutory rights remain unaffected.

If you enter into a separate agreement with AVOW Advisory for advisory services, the terms of that agreement will apply to the services provided to you.

Our collection and use of personal information is explained in our Privacy Notice.

The Privacy Notice explains, among other things:

Where the website uses cookies or similar technologies, information about their use will be provided through our cookie information or cookie preference mechanism.

You may be able to control certain cookies through your browser or the cookie preferences provided on the website.

We may update these Terms from time to time.

When we make changes, we will publish the updated version on this page and change the “Last updated” date.

You should check this page periodically to ensure that you are aware of the current version.

Changes will not affect rights or obligations that have already arisen under a separate client agreement unless that agreement expressly provides otherwise.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, these Terms do not give any person who is not a party to them any right to enforce any provision of these Terms.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified or removed only to the extent necessary.

The remaining provisions will continue to apply.

If we do not immediately enforce a right or provision under these Terms, this does not mean that we have waived that right.

A waiver will only be effective where expressly given in writing.

These Terms and your use of this website are governed by the laws of Scotland.

Subject to any mandatory legal rights that may apply, the courts of Scotland will have jurisdiction in relation to disputes arising from or connected with these Terms or your use of the website.
