This Disclaimer applies to the Straits & Canton website, private member area, creator videos, posts, comments, chat, newsletters and other content made available through the platform.

  • member discussions;
  • interviews;
  • news-related discussion;
  • information about countries, governments, businesses, culture and society.

This content is provided for general information, discussion and entertainment.

It should not be treated as professional advice or as a complete or definitive statement on any subject.

2. Creator views are their own

Creators, members and contributors are responsible for the views they express.

Their opinions do not necessarily represent the views of Straits & Canton, its owners, employees, contractors, other creators or members.

Allowing content to appear on the platform does not mean that Straits & Canton:

  • agrees with it;
  • endorses it;
  • guarantees its accuracy;
  • recommends that members act on it;
  • accepts responsibility for every statement made.

Creators may disagree with one another and may publish conflicting views.

3. No professional advice

Unless expressly stated otherwise, content on Straits & Canton is not professional advice.

In particular, it should not be treated as:

  • legal advice;

  • investment advice;
  • tax advice;
  • accounting advice;
  • immigration or visa advice;
  • medical or mental-health advice;
  • property advice;
  • insurance advice;
  • security advice;
  • employment advice.

You should obtain advice from a suitably qualified professional before making decisions where professional guidance is appropriate.

4. Your decisions are your responsibility

You remain responsible for your own decisions, actions and use of information obtained through Straits & Canton.

Before acting on content, you should consider:

  • your personal circumstances;
  • whether the information remains current;
  • whether the creator is qualified to advise on the subject;
  • whether laws or procedures differ by country;
  • whether independent professional advice is required;
  • whether the information can be verified through reliable sources.

You should not make important legal, financial, medical, immigration, property or business decisions based only on content published on the platform.

5. Accuracy and completeness

We aim to support honest and useful content, but we do not guarantee that all information published through Straits & Canton will always be:

  • accurate;
  • complete;
  • current;
  • suitable for your circumstances;
  • free from mistakes;
  • available permanently.

Creators may rely on personal experience, interpretation, publicly available information or sources that later change.

Countries, laws, prices, procedures, visa rules, tax systems, political conditions and business practices can change without notice.

Where a material error is brought to our attention, we may review or correct it where reasonably appropriate.

6. Personal experiences

Personal experiences describe what happened to a particular person in particular circumstances.

They do not guarantee that another member will have the same experience or result.

A creator’s positive or negative experience with a country, company, service, institution or individual should not automatically be treated as a universal conclusion.

7. News, politics and public affairs

Content discussing news, politics, governments, public institutions, public figures or current affairs may include opinion, interpretation and commentary.

Such content may become outdated as events develop.

Straits & Canton does not guarantee that every viewpoint, allegation, prediction or interpretation expressed by a creator will prove correct.

8. Financial and commercial information

Nothing on Straits & Canton is intended to be a personal recommendation to:

  • invest money;
  • buy or sell securities;
  • purchase property;
  • enter a business arrangement;
  • use a financial product;
  • transfer money;
  • rely on a particular tax structure.

Financial markets, property markets, businesses and investments involve risk. You should carry out your own checks and seek regulated professional advice where appropriate.

9. Immigration, legal and country information

Information about visas, residence, nationality, business ownership, property, taxation, banking or legal procedures may vary between jurisdictions and may change quickly.

You should confirm current requirements with:

  • the relevant government authority;
  • a licensed lawyer;
  • a regulated immigration adviser;
  • a qualified accountant;
  • another appropriately authorised professional.

10. Health and safety information

Content discussing health, medicine, mental health, hospitals, treatment, medication or personal safety is not a substitute for qualified medical or professional advice.

Do not delay seeking medical help because of something you have watched or read on Straits & Canton.

In an emergency, contact the appropriate local emergency service.

11. External links and third-party services

Straits & Canton may contain links to:

  • external websites;
  • creator websites;
  • social media pages;
  • news sources;
  • payment providers;
  • products or services;
  • other third-party platforms.

External links are provided for information or convenience.

Unless expressly stated, their inclusion does not mean that Straits & Canton endorses or guarantees the third party, its content, products or services.

We do not control external websites and are not responsible for:

  • their availability;
  • their accuracy;
  • their security;
  • their privacy practices;
  • transactions made with them;
  • losses caused by their products or services.

You should review the third party’s own terms, policies and credentials before using its services.

12. Future partners and commercial relationships

Straits & Canton may introduce commercial partnerships, trusted partners, sponsorships, referral arrangements or affiliate relationships in the future.

Where content or a recommendation is connected to a material commercial relationship, we will aim to disclose that relationship clearly.

The existence of a commercial relationship does not remove your responsibility to conduct your own checks before purchasing or relying on a service.

13. Member comments and chat

Comments and chat messages are written by individual members.

Straits & Canton does not routinely verify every statement made in comments or private discussions.

You should exercise judgment before relying on advice, recommendations, claims or contact details shared by another member.

  • a particular creator will remain on the platform;
  • a creator will publish on a fixed schedule;
  • a particular video or post will remain available;
  • the platform will always operate without interruption;
  • every feature will remain unchanged.
