Important Liability Notice:
Your Business Adviser is here to provide information, advice, and guidance to you. We are not entering into a partnership with you nor aiming to dictate or instruct how you run your business. The ultimate responsibility for deciding whether to implement the advice or suggestions we offer lies entirely with you. Establishing a business involves inherent risks, and success is not guaranteed. We cannot be held accountable for any failures. It is your duty to submit tax returns as mandated by the Inland Revenue, and to provide updates to your UC Journal as required by JCP.
I understand failure to attend appointments, insufficient progress in my business, or not meeting the outlined expectations may prompt Momentic to assess my suitability for the Momentic service.
