8. Disclaimers
Tovrik programmes are educational and reading-led. They do not constitute financial advice, investment advice, tax advice, legal advice, or any form of regulated advisory service. Participants are encouraged to consult a licensed financial adviser, solicitor, or accountant for personal financial decisions.
Tovrik does not represent that participation in a programme will produce any specific outcome, financial or otherwise. Programme Content is provided for general educational purposes and reflects the reading material at the time of each cohort. Content accuracy is reviewed before each programme run but is not warranted as comprehensive or current beyond that review.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by Singapore law, Tovrik's liability to any Participant is limited to the programme fee paid by that Participant for the relevant programme. Tovrik is not liable for indirect, consequential, or special damages arising from participation in a programme or use of programme Content.
Nothing in this Agreement excludes liability for fraud, personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold Tovrik harmless against claims, losses, or expenses arising from your breach of this Agreement, your misuse of programme Content, or your conduct during programme sessions that causes harm to other participants or facilitators.
11. Termination
Tovrik may remove a Participant from a programme without refund if the Participant's conduct is disruptive, harmful to other participants, or in breach of this Agreement. Either party may withdraw from a programme for any other reason subject to the refund terms set out in Section 7.3.
12. Dispute resolution
This Agreement is governed by the laws of Singapore. In the event of a dispute, both parties agree to first seek resolution through direct correspondence. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally within 30 days, it may be referred to the Singapore Mediation Centre or, if mediation is unsuccessful, to the courts of Singapore which shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
13. General provisions
- Entire agreement: This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Tovrik and the Participant with respect to programme participation and supersedes prior correspondence or representations.
- Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full effect.
- Waiver: Failure to enforce any provision does not constitute a waiver of that provision.
- Assignment: Participants may not assign rights under this Agreement without Tovrik's written consent.
14. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. Material changes will be published on this page with an updated effective date. For programmes already booked, the terms current at the time of enrolment apply unless both parties agree otherwise.
