1. General Information
The Portal provides business development resources, information, and directory-based access to experts/service providers.

Information related to tax/VAT/legal compliance, finance, or business topics is general guidance and not professional advice. Users should verify through official sources or qualified professionals.
3. Third-Party Providers
Experts and service providers listed on the Portal are responsible for their own services. SMEF does not warrant service quality, availability, or performance.

If profiles are “verified” or “approved,” verification is an integrity/administrative check and does not guarantee outcomes or quality.

The Portal is provided “as is” and “as available,” without guarantees of uninterrupted or error-free operation.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, SMEF is not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the Portal.
