Calmharbor's sessions and materials are provided for general educational purposes only. We make no representations that information provided is complete, current, or applicable to any individual's personal circumstances. Retirement frameworks and official processes in Malaysia are subject to change; while we review our materials regularly, we cannot warrant that all information reflects the most current position at the time of a session.
Nothing in our sessions, materials, or website constitutes legal advice, financial advice, tax advice, or any other form of professional advice. Participants should seek advice from appropriately licensed professionals for matters specific to their personal situation.

To the maximum extent permitted by Malaysian law, Calmharbor's total liability to any participant for any claim arising from or related to our sessions, materials, or website shall not exceed the fee paid by that participant for the relevant session.
We are not liable for any indirect, consequential, incidental, or special loss or damage, including loss of income, financial decisions made on the basis of general information provided, or any action taken or not taken in reliance on session content.
Nothing in these terms limits our liability for fraud, death, or personal injury caused by our negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under Malaysian law.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Calmharbor, its facilitators, and its officers from any claims, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these terms, your misuse of session materials, or any false or misleading information you provide to us.
