endeavours to help ME in a timely manner no guarantee is given that
GWAT will be successful in this endeavour.
3. I understand and agree that GWAT is contracted by international
employers to facilitate the arrangement between ME and the employer
only and I will not hold GWAT liable or responsible for the outcome.
4. I understand and agree that any advice, including any opinion or
recommendation, which may be given to ME will be of a general nature
and before acting on any general advice given by GWAT and their
representatives I will consider whether this advice is appropriate to MY
personal circumstances.

trading terms and conditions regardless of whether or not I choose to
travel.
10. It is MY responsibility to provide GWAT with all required documents and
materials in hard or soft copy or both. Failure to supply those documents

including passports, or delays in connection with any visa or passport
applications. I also will not hold GWAT responsible for any advice given

the monies paid which relates to the part of the service that has
been cancelled or changed. Apart from that refund and subject to
any statutory provisions to the contrary, GWAT will not be liable for
any loss.
