TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF TRADE
•
Confidentiality Notice
Business Opportunity Watch
is private and confidential and is provided to you upon your
agreement that it is for your own personal use only.
• Copyright
Notice
Business Opportunity Watch is protected by Copyright.
This Copyright exists not only
in the actual words used but also in the body of facts, analyses
and conclusions contained in it, due to the skill, labour and
judgement that has gone into the research and the conclusions.
Under the terms of the Copyright,
apart from printing one copy for your own personal use, you
cannot copy, print, reproduce in any form, or send to anyone
else any part of Business Opportunity Watch either in whole
or in part (for example, you cannot send any of it to another
person, or to a company, or to a website or forum etc) in any
form (not, for example, in hard copy nor in electronic format)
or by any means without written permission from the Copyright
Holder Marian Owen.
Where extracts of another company's
marketing material are reproduced in Business Opportunity Watch
for the purposes of analysis and comment the copyright in these
extracts remains that of the company concerned.
• Disclaimer
of Liability
We do not accept responsibility for the consequences of action
taken or refrained from on the basis of any information, opinions
or advice contained in Business Opportunity Watch or inferred
from its contents.
The information in Business Opportunity Watch is given in good
faith and for general information and interest only. Whilst
we make every effort to ensure that the information is correct,
we cannot guarantee that it is 100% free of errors and inaccuracies
and omissions. As a result, we do not accept responsibility
for any errors, inaccuracies or omissions.
You undertake business activities at your own risk and you should
seek appropriate professional advice for your own specific circumstances.
Business Opportunity Watch is intended only as the starting
point for your own enquiries.
Please note that the research,
analysis and opinion contained in the Rating Reports on business
opportunities in Business Opportunity Watch are based on the
marketing material.
The editor of Business Opportunity
Watch does not seek further explanations from promoters of opportunities
because she believes they should get it right in their marketing
material, which should contain sufficient evidence to substantiate
the claims made; if the claims are extraordinary then she would
expect to see a high level of factual evidence in the marketing
material.
Normally Business Opportunity
Watch advises readers of key questions which they should address
to the promoter before they purchase the opportunity.
In Business Opportunity Watch,
though the editor typically highlights a number of areas of
conflicting information for an opportunity and questions which
need to be asked and the Rating Report itself may be critical
and may have a low rating or even a zero rating, THIS DOES NOT
SUGGEST THAT THE PROMOTER OR HIS COMPANY OR HIS ASSOCIATES ARE
ANYTHING OTHER THAN HONEST AND TRUSTWORTHY AND COMPETENT.
It simply means that, as a result
of the research and analysis work carried out, there are questions
to be asked in line with time-honoured TRADITIONAL AUDIT PROCEDURE
in order for prospective purchasers to be able to make an informed
decision on whether or not the business opportunity is workable.
Business Opportunity Watch sometimes
contains the editor's comments on applicable law (for example
when exploring whether purchasers have any rights to get a refund),
and it is important to note that this is only her opinion and
she is not a lawyer and readers should obtain appropriate professional
advice.
