Website Terms of Use

The practice pages, insight articles in the Perspective library, legal update summaries and other materials on the website explain legal and regulatory topics in general terms. They are written for a broad audience and cannot take account of your facts, your objectives or the law of every jurisdiction that may be relevant to you. Law, regulation and regulator guidance change frequently, and an article that was accurate when published may since have been overtaken.

Using the website, reading its content, submitting a contact form, sending an email or leaving a telephone message does not create a solicitor-client or other professional relationship between you and TRW & Co. A client relationship arises only when we have completed our conflict and identification checks and confirmed in writing that we will act for you, on agreed terms of engagement.

Until we have confirmed that we can act for you, please do not send confidential or sensitive information about a matter. Information you send before then may not be treated as confidential or privileged, and receiving it will not prevent us from acting for another party, including a party whose interests are opposed to yours. A short description of the nature of your enquiry and the parties involved is enough for an initial conflict check.

You must not rely on any content on the website as the basis for a legal, commercial or financial decision. Before acting, take advice from a qualified professional on your own circumstances, and check the official sources we cite. To the extent permitted by law, we do not accept responsibility for any loss arising from reliance on the website’s content.

Articles and pages describe the law as at the date of writing or the date stated. Where we refer to thresholds, fees, rates, timelines or commencement dates, these may change after publication. Descriptions of our services are general; they do not mean we can act on every matter in every jurisdiction. Where Singapore court or tribunal representation is required, we work alongside Singapore-qualified counsel.

Copyright and other intellectual property rights in the text, graphics, page layout, photographs and other material on the website belong to TRW & Co or to the people who licensed them to us, and are protected under laws including the Copyright Act 2021. The name “TRW & Co” and our logos may not be used without our written permission, including in a way that suggests we endorse a product, service, publication or event.

You may view, download and print pages for your own personal or internal business reference. You may share links to any page. You may quote short extracts, provided the quotation is accurate, attributed to “TRW & Co Singapore” and accompanied by a link to the original page. Journalists and researchers can ask for citation guidance at info@trw.co.

Without our prior written permission, you may not reproduce whole pages or articles, republish or translate our content, sell it or include it in a paid product, present it as your own, remove attribution or copyright notices, or use automated tools to scrape, harvest or bulk-copy the website, including to train or fine-tune software models. You must not use the website in any way that is unlawful, that interferes with its operation or security, or that attempts to gain unauthorised access to our systems.

The website links to external sources, such as Singapore Statutes Online and regulators’ websites, so that you can check primary material. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, availability, accuracy or privacy practices. A link does not mean we endorse the website or its owner. Official sources should be checked directly for the current position.

You may link to any page of the website, provided you do so fairly and lawfully and do not suggest any association, approval or endorsement that does not exist. You must not frame the website within another site or present our content in a way that hides its source. We may ask you to remove a link at any time.

We do not guarantee that the website will be available at all times, free of errors, or free of viruses or other harmful code. We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the website without notice. You are responsible for using appropriate security software when accessing the website.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, TRW & Co excludes liability for any loss or damage, whether direct, indirect or consequential, arising from use of, or inability to use, the website or reliance on its content, including loss of profit, business, data or opportunity. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including under the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for fraud. Where we act for a client, our responsibilities are governed by the engagement terms for that matter, not by these terms.

We handle personal data collected through the website, including through our contact details and analytics cookies, in accordance with our privacy notice and the Personal Data Protection Act 2012.

These terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the website, are governed by the laws of Singapore. The courts of Singapore have exclusive jurisdiction, except that we may bring proceedings to protect our intellectual property in any jurisdiction where they are being infringed.

No one other than you and TRW & Co has any right to enforce these terms, whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 2001 or otherwise. If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full effect.

We may update these terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes to the website or the law. The version published on this page at the time you use the website applies, so please check it periodically. Material changes will be reflected in the date at the foot of this page.
