By accessing our website, submitting an enquiry, booking a consultation, or engaging our services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue your use of our website and services.

2. Scope of Our Services

Depending on the service selected, we may assist with:

* Initial consultations and eligibility assessments
* Comparison and selection of suitable programmes
* General information about investment requirements

The precise scope, fees, estimated timeline, and deliverables for a paid engagement may be stated in a separate proposal, service agreement, engagement letter, invoice, or written confirmation.

If there is a conflict between these website Terms and a signed service agreement, the signed service agreement will take priority regarding the relevant paid services.

3. No Guarantee of Approval

All citizenship, residency, visa, and Golden Visa applications are reviewed and decided exclusively by the relevant government departments, immigration authorities, consulates, embassies, courts, or other authorised institutions.

HCL Consultant cannot and does not guarantee:

* Approval of any application
* Issuance of citizenship, residency, a visa, or a passport
* A specific processing or approval date
* Acceptance of any investment or property
* Successful completion of background checks or due diligence
* Acceptance by a bank, developer, government authority, or programme provider
* Continued availability of a particular programme
* Any particular tax, financial, legal, or investment outcome

Statements about programme benefits, approval periods, investment returns, visa-free travel, or eligibility are general estimates based on information reasonably available at the relevant time. Actual results and processing periods may vary.

Payment of our professional fees does not purchase or guarantee government approval.

4. Programme Information and Changes

Citizenship, residency, visa, and investment-migration programmes may be changed, suspended, restricted, or closed by the relevant authorities without prior notice.

Investment thresholds, government fees, property requirements, eligibility rules, processing periods, required documents, and programme benefits may also change.

Although we aim to keep our information accurate and current, website content may not immediately reflect every regulatory or programme change. Clients should obtain written confirmation of the latest requirements before making an application, investment, or financial commitment.

5. Eligibility Assessments

Any initial eligibility assessment is preliminary and based on the information provided by the client. It does not represent:

* Government pre-approval
* A legal opinion
* A binding decision
* A guarantee that an application will be accepted
* Confirmation that the client will pass compliance checks

Eligibility may change after document verification, legal review, background checks, source-of-funds assessment, medical examinations, security screening, or consideration by the relevant authorities.

6. Client Responsibilities

You agree to:

* Provide accurate, complete, authentic, and current information
* Disclose all relevant personal, financial, immigration, legal, and criminal-history information
* Provide genuine and legally obtained documents
* Respond to requests within the required time
* Review all forms and documents before submission
* Attend appointments, interviews, or biometric sessions when required
* Pay professional, government, legal, investment, and third-party fees when due
* Notify us promptly of any change in your circumstances
* Follow applicable laws and official programme requirements
* Obtain independent legal, tax, financial, and investment advice where appropriate

You must not provide false, forged, misleading, altered, or incomplete information. We may suspend or terminate services if we reasonably suspect fraud, misrepresentation, unlawful activity, or a serious compliance concern.

You remain responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all information submitted in your name, even where we assist with preparing or reviewing the application.

7. Family Members and Dependants

If an application includes a spouse, child, parent, or another dependant, you confirm that:

* You are authorised to provide their information and documents
* They have been informed about the proposed application
* Any required consent has been obtained
* Their information is accurate and complete

Eligibility rules may differ for each family member, and the inclusion of a dependant is subject to the relevant programme’s requirements.

8. Professional Fees and Other Costs

Our professional fees will be communicated through a proposal, invoice, engagement letter, service agreement, or other written confirmation.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, our professional fees do not include:

* Government application and processing fees
* Due-diligence and background-check fees
* Legal or authorised-agent fees
* Translation, certification, notarisation, or apostille costs
* Property purchase or investment amounts
* Bank, transfer, or currency-conversion charges
* Taxes, duties, insurance, and registration costs
* Medical examination or police-clearance fees
* Travel, accommodation, courier, or biometric costs
* Fees charged by developers, financial institutions, or other third parties

Clients are responsible for reviewing and approving applicable costs before proceeding.

9. Payments

Payments must be made using the method and schedule stated in the relevant invoice or service agreement.

You agree to:

* Pay invoices by their stated due dates
* Use funds from a lawful and verifiable source
* Provide correct payment information
* Pay applicable bank or transfer charges unless agreed otherwise

We may pause services when an amount remains overdue. Any delay caused by late payment may affect an application deadline or processing schedule.

10. Cancellations and Refunds

Cancellation and refund eligibility will be determined by:

* The signed service agreement or engagement letter
* The stage of work completed
* Professional time already spent
* Costs already incurred or committed
* Applicable consumer-protection laws

Unless otherwise stated in writing, amounts relating to completed work, consultations already delivered, government charges, due-diligence fees, legal costs, bank fees, and other third-party expenses may be non-refundable once incurred.

If an application is refused, delayed, suspended, or withdrawn by an authority, this does not automatically create a right to a refund of professional fees for work already performed.

Nothing in these Terms limits any cancellation or refund rights that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable consumer-protection legislation.

11. Third-Party Services

We may introduce, recommend, or coordinate with third parties, including:

* Immigration lawyers and legal advisers
* Licensed programme agents
* Government authorities
* Property developers and real-estate agents
* Banks and financial institutions
* Investment providers
* Tax advisers and accountants
* Translators, notaries, and document-service providers
* Due-diligence and background-check providers
* Insurance, travel, or relocation providers

Unless otherwise confirmed in writing, these third parties are independent organisations and are not employees or representatives of HCL Consultant.

Third-party services may be subject to separate contracts, fees, terms, and privacy policies. HCL Consultant is not responsible for an independent third party’s decisions, conduct, delays, omissions, financial condition, or service quality, except where liability cannot legally be excluded.

12. Government and Authority Delays

HCL Consultant is not responsible for delays caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control, including:

* Changes in law or programme rules
* Requests for additional documents
* Banking or source-of-funds reviews
* Postal or courier delays

* Delays by clients or independent third parties

Estimated timelines are provided for general guidance and should not be treated as guaranteed completion dates.

13. Legal, Tax, Financial and Investment Disclaimer

Unless expressly agreed through an appropriately qualified professional, information provided by HCL Consultant does not constitute legal, tax, accounting, financial, or investment advice.

Before making a significant investment, purchasing property, changing tax residence, transferring funds, or entering a legal agreement, you should obtain independent advice from qualified professionals in the relevant jurisdictions.

Any investment may involve financial, legal, currency, market, or regulatory risks. Past performance, projected returns, or property values do not guarantee future results.

27. No Waiver

A failure or delay by HCL Consultant in exercising a right under these Terms does not mean that the right has been waived.
