Terms and conditions

These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website at https://ambott.com (the “Website”) and any mentorship, evidence-strategy, document-preparation, assessment, or related services offered by Ambott (“Ambott”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) (together, the “Services”).

By visiting the Website, submitting an enquiry or assessment request, downloading a free resource, or purchasing a Service, you (“you” or the “Client”) agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website or the Services.

If you engage us for a paid Service, we may also give you a written engagement summary, proposal, or invoice (an “Engagement Letter”). If an Engagement Letter conflicts with these Terms, the Engagement Letter prevails for that engagement only.

Ambott is a talent visa mentorship and evidence-strategy practice. We help individuals whose careers have outgrown their borders to understand, organise, and present their professional record for merit-based visa routes, currently including:

• United States: the EB-1A (extraordinary ability) green card;
• United Kingdom: the Global Talent visa (exceptional talent or exceptional promise), including endorsement applications;
• Australia: the National Innovation Visa (subclass 858, formerly Global Talent).

Our Services may include route strategy and eligibility assessment, evidence building and indexing, profile enhancement planning, drafting support for recommendation and referee letters, endorsement case preparation, nominator briefs and outreach guidance, support responding to requests for evidence (RFEs) or refusals, and introductions to independent licensed legal professionals.

The specific Services you receive are those described in your selected plan on our Pricing page or in your Engagement Letter.

Ambott is not a law firm, an immigration attorney, a regulated immigration adviser, or a registered migration agent. We do not provide legal advice and do not represent you before any government authority.

Nothing on the Website or in our Services, including assessments, scores, route recommendations, templates, blogs, case studies, or free resources, constitutes legal advice or creates an attorney-client or adviser-client relationship.

Our content is general guidance based on our experience and publicly available criteria. Immigration laws, policies, fees, and endorsing-body or nominator standards change frequently and may differ from how they are described to you.

Applications must be filed, signed, and submitted by, or under the supervision of, a suitably licensed professional where the law requires it, such as an immigration attorney in the United States, an OISC-regulated adviser or other authorised person in the United Kingdom, or a registered migration agent in Australia, or by you personally where self-filing is permitted.

You are responsible for obtaining independent legal advice before making decisions about your immigration status, travel, employment, or finances.

Visa decisions are made solely by government authorities, endorsing bodies, and nominators, and are outside our control. Accordingly:

• We do not guarantee that you will be eligible for, endorsed for, nominated for, or granted any visa, green card, status, or extension.
• A positive assessment or a high self-check score is an opinion about the strength of your record at a point in time. It is not a prediction or promise of success.
• We do not guarantee the timing of any decision, the response of any referee, endorser, or nominator, or that an RFE or refusal can be overcome.
• Success stories, case studies, and testimonials on the Website describe individual experiences. They are illustrative only, are not typical of every outcome, and do not guarantee similar results for you. Some names or details may be anonymised, changed, or presented as sample content.

We will give you our honest assessment of your prospects, including where we believe your record is not yet ready for any route.

The Website offers eligibility check requests and free resources such as a three-route self-check, a referee and nominator brief template, and a redacted evidence index sample (the “Free Resources”).

• Free Resources are provided for general information and for your personal, non-commercial use only.
• They are provided “as is” with no warranty that they are complete, current, or suitable for your circumstances.
• Requesting an assessment or downloading a Free Resource does not create a paid engagement and does not oblige you or us to proceed.
• Free Resources and samples remain our intellectual property. You may not resell, republish, or distribute them without our written permission.
• Redacted samples are drawn from filed cases with identifying details removed. You agree not to attempt to identify any individual from them.

To receive the Services, you agree that you will:

• Provide accurate, complete, and truthful information and documents. Misrepresentation in an immigration application can result in refusal, bans, loss of status, and in serious cases civil or criminal liability. We will not knowingly prepare materials containing false or misleading information, and we may stop work if we believe information is inaccurate.
• Respond promptly to our requests for information, documents, and feedback. Delays may affect timelines and results.
• Be responsible for your evidence. You confirm that you own, or have the right to share, every document, publication, metric, letter, or media item you give us, and that its use in an application will not breach any third-party rights or confidentiality obligations (including obligations to your current or former employers).
• Review everything we prepare before it is submitted, including drafts of letters, exhibit cover notes, and summaries. You remain responsible for confirming that content is accurate and reflects your own work and achievements.
• Ensure referee letters are genuine. Letters we help draft must be reviewed, adopted, and signed by the referee in their own voice, based on their real knowledge of you. You must not ask us, or anyone, to fabricate letters, signatures, endorsements, awards, memberships, citations, press coverage, or other evidence.
• Meet deadlines and eligibility requirements set by immigration authorities, including your own responsibility for maintaining lawful status while any application is pending.
• Keep us informed of changes in your circumstances, such as new employment, publications, awards, or immigration history, that could affect your case.

Success on some routes depends on third parties, including referees, UK endorsing bodies, and Australian nominators. You acknowledge that:

• We may help you shortlist suitable people, prepare briefs, and draft materials, but we cannot compel anyone to support you or control their decisions.
• Any outreach is made on your behalf and with your consent. You authorise us to contact or prepare communications to third parties for this purpose, and you agree to be available to confirm your relationship with them.
• We do not pay, offer incentives to, or otherwise improperly influence referees, endorsers, or nominators, and you must not do so either.

Where filing or legal representation is required or desired, we may introduce you to independent immigration attorneys, regulated advisers, or registered migration agents (“Partners”).

• Partners are independent professionals. They are not our employees or agents, and they are solely responsible for the legal advice and filing services they provide.
• Any legal-services relationship is between you and the Partner. You will agree to separate terms and fees directly with them, unless we expressly state otherwise in writing. Partner fees, government filing fees, translation costs, and similar disbursements are not included in our fees unless the plan or Engagement Letter says so.
• We may share your case file, in a clean and indexed form, with a Partner you have chosen to proceed with, and you consent to that sharing for the purpose of your application.
• We are not responsible for a Partner’s advice, conduct, availability, fees, or the outcome of work they carry out. You are free to choose your own licensed professional instead.
• Unless disclosed to you in writing, we do not receive undisclosed referral fees from Partners.

Pricing. Our Services are offered under the plans and prices listed on our Pricing page or in your Engagement Letter. Prices may be changed at any time for future purchases, but not retroactively for plans you have already agreed to.

Scope. Each plan covers only the work stated in its description. Additional work, such as responding to an RFE, adding another country route, or rebuilding a case after a refusal, may require a new plan or additional fees, which we will agree with you in writing before starting.

Payment. Fees are payable in advance or in the instalments set out in your invoice or Engagement Letter. Work may begin or pause according to payment status.

Taxes and charges. Fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, bank charges, and currency-conversion costs unless stated otherwise. You are responsible for these.

Late payment. We may suspend Services for overdue invoices and, where permitted by law, charge reasonable interest and recovery costs on late amounts.

Third-party costs. Government application fees, immigration health surcharges, biometrics, courier, translation, notarisation, certification, and Partner fees are separate and payable by you.

Cooling-off. If you are entitled by law to a cooling-off or cancellation period in your jurisdiction, nothing in these Terms limits that right. Where that period applies and work has already started at your request, we may deduct a reasonable amount for work completed.

Cancellation by you. You may cancel a paid Service by emailing info@ambott.com under the proper circumstances.

No refund for outcome. Because we cannot control decisions of immigration authorities, endorsing bodies, or nominators, fees are not refundable on the basis that an application is refused, delayed, or not pursued, provided we delivered the agreed Services.

Cancellation or pause by us. We may suspend or end a Service if you breach these Terms, supply false information, request unlawful or unethical work, fail to pay, or remain unresponsive for an extended period. Where we end a Service without fault on your part, we will refund fees for work not yet performed.

Change of route. If our assessment shows another route suits you better, we will tell you plainly and agree any change to scope or fees in writing.

We treat the information and documents you give us as confidential and use them only to provide the Services, to communicate with you, and as otherwise described in our Privacy Policy.

You consent to our sharing relevant material with Partners, referees, endorsers, and nominators as needed for your application, and with service providers who help us operate (for example, hosting, document storage, and communication tools) under appropriate confidentiality obligations.

We may disclose information where required by law, court order, or regulatory request.

Please avoid sending highly sensitive data (such as passport numbers, national identifiers, or financial account details) through the open contact form or by unencrypted email unless we have agreed a secure method with you.

Data collection, retention, your privacy rights, and cookies are covered in our Privacy Policy.

We will not publish your name, identifying details, case details, or testimonial without your express written consent. If you agree, we may anonymise or edit details for clarity or confidentiality, and you may withdraw consent for future publication at any time by emailing info@ambott.com. Withdrawal does not affect material already published in print or distributed in good faith, though we will remove it from the Website within a reasonable time.

Our content. The Website, its design, text, graphics, logos, brand names, templates, frameworks, checklists, scoring methods, blog posts, and other materials are owned by or licensed to Ambott and protected by intellectual property laws. You may view and print content for personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, scrape, or create derivative works from it without our prior written consent.

Your content. You retain ownership of your work, publications, documents, and evidence. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to use, reproduce, and adapt your materials solely to deliver the Services and to share them as described in these Terms.

Deliverables. Upon full payment, you may use the drafts, exhibit cover notes, indexes, and letters we prepare specifically for your case for your own immigration applications. Our underlying methods, templates, and know-how remain ours, and you may not resell or commercialise the deliverables.

You agree not to:

• use the Website for unlawful, fraudulent, or misleading purposes, including attempting to obtain immigration benefits by deception;
• submit false, forged, or misleading information or documents;
• attempt to access, probe, or disrupt our systems, accounts, or data, or introduce viruses or malicious code;
• scrape, crawl, or harvest content or personal data by automated means without permission;
• impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or organisation;
• use the Website to send unsolicited commercial messages or spam; or
• interfere with other users’ use of the Website.

We may restrict or terminate your access if you breach this section.

The Website links to government websites, publications, and other third-party resources. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, or policies. Inclusion of a link is not an endorsement. References to government bodies, visa categories, and programme names (such as USCIS, the UK Home Office, Australian Department of Home Affairs, or Tech Nation) are for descriptive purposes only. Ambott is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any government authority or endorsing body.

We work to keep our content up to date, but immigration rules, fees, and processing practices change often and sometimes without notice. We do not warrant that any content on the Website, including blogs, guides, press releases, and FAQs, is complete, current, or error-free. Always verify requirements with the official source or a licensed professional before relying on them.

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

• The Website and the Free Resources are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or uninterrupted availability.
• We do not warrant that the Website will be secure, free of errors, or free of harmful components.
• Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any warranty or right that cannot lawfully be excluded, including consumer rights where they apply.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

• Ambott is not liable for any refusal, delay, or adverse decision on any application, nor for decisions or conduct of governments, endorsing bodies, nominators, referees, or Partners.
• Ambott is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive loss, or for loss of status, employment, income, opportunity, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Website or the Services.
• Our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Services, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, is limited to the fees you actually paid to Ambott for the specific Service giving rise to the claim.
• Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Ambott, its owners, directors, employees, and contractors from claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable expenses (including legal fees) arising out of: (a) inaccurate, false, or misleading information or documents you provided; (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) your infringement of any third party’s rights; or (d) your unlawful use of the Website or Services.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Website or Services at any time if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we reasonably suspect fraud or misuse. You may stop using the Website at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, confidentiality, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, and governing law) will continue to apply.

By submitting the contact or assessment form, or emailing us, you agree that we may contact you about your enquiry using the details you provide. We aim to reply within two working days (Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 18:00), but this is a target and not a guarantee. Marketing messages will be sent only where you have opted in or where permitted by law, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a contract to purchase our Services. By using the Services you confirm that you meet these requirements and that the information you provide is accurate.

We are not liable for failure or delay in performing our obligations due to events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, pandemics, war, governmental action or changes in law or policy, strikes, internet or power outages, or failures of third-party platforms.

These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the relevant governing jurisdiction, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If a dispute arises, you agree to first contact us at info@ambott.com so we can try to resolve it in good faith within 30 days. If it cannot be resolved informally, the courts will have exclusive jurisdiction. This clause does not remove any mandatory consumer protections or rights to bring claims in your country of residence where the law gives you that right.

Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any Engagement Letter are the entire agreement between you and us on their subject matter.

Severability. If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of it.

Assignment. You may not assign your rights or obligations without our written consent. We may assign ours to a successor or affiliate with notice to you.

Independent parties. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between you and us.

Language. These Terms are provided in English. Any translation is for convenience, and the English version prevails.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows the latest version. Material changes will be notified on the Website or by email where appropriate. Changes apply to your continued use of the Website and to new purchases from the effective date. Services you have already purchased remain governed by the Terms in force when you purchased them, unless the law requires otherwise.
