About 10Life Insurance Product Comparison and Blogs

Any information on 10Life Platform ("10Life Information"), including but not limited to product comparison, product ratings, blog articles are intended and should only be used for general education purpose and reference only. None of the 10Life Information is intended, nor should they be considered or relied upon, as any regulated advice, insurance, financial, investment or professional advice, or recommendation, approval, endorsement, invitation or solicitation in respect of any insurance, financial or investment products.

10Life Product Comparison and 10Life Insurance Ratings are operated by 10Life Financial. 10Life Product Comparison and 10Life Insurance Ratings are developed for generic customer segments using mathematical calculations based on product information, facts and data, and are not influenced by any partnerships with or fees received from insurance companies with 10Life Group Companies. You should study the rating methodologies to understand the relevance and limits.

10Life Information does not take into account your individual needs. Reading 10Life Information should not be considered as conducting a suitability assessment, and is not sufficient to form the basis of any decisions to purchase any insurance products. You should rely on information authorised by insurance companies, carry out your own research and/or seek independent advice from licensed intermediaries before purchasing any insurance products or making any insurance decisions. You are strongly recommended to conduct a suitability assessment (e.g. Financial Needs Analysis and Risk Profile Questionnaire) before making any insurance decisions.

The information on the Platform is curated from information gathered from different sources. Where possible, we source the insurance product information directly from insurers or insurers’ websites. In cases where we are unable to obtain this information from insurers directly, we source insurance product information from other sources to cover as much of the market as we can. We will use our reasonable efforts in ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of the information at time of publishing, but we do not guarantee the accuracy and completeness of any information we provide. You should always refer to information provided by the insurance company or your licensed intermediary, including any marketing material and contracts, when making any insurance decisions.

While reasonable efforts are used when collecting, validating and updating 10Life Information from various channels, none of the 10Life Group Companies and their affiliates, agents, directors, officers and employees will be responsible for any liability, claim or loss arising from or associated with using 10Life Information. No warranty, representation or guarantee is given by any of the 10Life Group Companies on the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of the information.

We may provide on our platforms access to third-party websites or links to insurance product providers as part of our service ("Redirection"). Such Redirections are for your convenience and information only and do not constitute our endorsement, recommendation and approval of the third parties and their product and/or services.

Providing a Redirection does not suggest or imply that 10Life Financial acted as an insurance intermediary for the third party or provided any regulated advice for the purchase or sales of products or services offered by the third party. Any purchase of products and services at the third party website is a transaction made directly with the third party and is solely at your own discretion and risk.
