Disclaimer

The information provided on salientformation.com and in any materials we publish (collectively, the "Content") is for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not, and should not be construed as, legal, tax, accounting, investment, or other professional advice tailored to your specific circumstances.

1. Not legal or tax advice

Salient Formation is a corporate services and structuring advisory firm. We are not a law firm, a licensed accounting firm, or a licensed financial advisor. Nothing on this website constitutes a legal opinion, a tax opinion, an audit, a regulatory ruling, or a recommendation to undertake any specific transaction. Where legal or tax opinions are required to support a structuring decision, we coordinate with appropriately qualified independent counsel.

2. No solicitation

The Content is not an offer, solicitation, or recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security, investment product, or service. It does not constitute investment advice and is not personalized to the financial circumstances, objectives, or risk tolerance of any individual reader.

3. Jurisdiction-specific regulations

UAE corporate, tax, and immigration laws are subject to change. Information on this Site is current to the best of our knowledge as of the publication or last update date but may not reflect the most recent legislative, regulatory, or administrative developments. Some Content may not be appropriate or applicable to readers in certain jurisdictions. Always verify the current position before acting.

4. Your home-country obligations

Establishing or operating a UAE company does not eliminate tax, reporting, or compliance obligations you may have in your home country, country of citizenship, or any other jurisdiction where you have ties. Many jurisdictions impose Controlled Foreign Company (CFC) rules, Pillar Two top-up taxes, citizenship-based taxation (e.g. United States), or other anti-avoidance regimes that may apply notwithstanding your UAE structure. You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with the laws of every jurisdiction relevant to you, and we strongly recommend engaging qualified counsel in those jurisdictions.

5. Performance and outcomes

Statistics, case studies, client testimonials, and projected outcomes referenced on this Site reflect past performance or representative scenarios. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. The tax savings, business outcomes, or banking results experienced by any particular client cannot be guaranteed and may vary materially based on your specific facts, jurisdictions involved, and external factors outside our control.

6. No advisor-client relationship

Reading content on this Site, downloading a document, attending a webinar, completing a contact form, or having an exploratory call with us does not establish an advisor-client relationship. A formal engagement is established only through a signed engagement letter setting out the scope and terms.

7. Third-party information

The Site may reference or link to information from third parties, including UAE government authorities, free zones, banks, and other professional service providers. We do not control or endorse third-party content and are not responsible for its accuracy, completeness, or timeliness.

8. Cryptocurrency and high-risk activities

Where Content references cryptocurrency, virtual asset, gambling, or other high-risk activities, no statement should be construed as a recommendation to engage in such activities. These sectors are subject to specific regulatory regimes — and to elevated banking, AML, and sanctions risks — that require specialized professional advice beyond the scope of general informational content.

9. Forward-looking statements

Statements about future regulatory developments, tax policy direction, market conditions, or sector trends are forward-looking and inherently uncertain. They reflect our analysis as of the publication date and are not predictions of fact.

10. Anti-money laundering and sanctions

All Salient Formation engagements are subject to comprehensive KYC, AML, and sanctions screening. We do not advise on or assist with any structure intended to facilitate tax evasion, money laundering, terrorism financing, sanctions evasion, or any other unlawful activity. We are obligated to report suspicious activity to UAE regulatory authorities and to decline or terminate engagements that present unacceptable legal, regulatory, or reputational risk.

11. Reliance at your own risk

You should not rely on the Content as a sole basis for any decision that may have legal, tax, financial, or business consequences. Always obtain professional advice tailored to your specific situation before acting.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Salient Formation, its principals, employees, and contractors shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or claim arising from your reliance on Content published on this Site or in our other materials, except where caused by our willful misconduct or fraud.

13. Updates

We may update this Disclaimer at any time. The "last updated" date below reflects the most recent version.
