Terms of Service

Clear terms that protect both of us — and keep our relationship built on honesty.

Last Updated: 1 April 2026

01
Nature of Services
Living Wisely provides financial advisory and insurance intermediary services as a licensed agent of FWD Life Insurance Corporation, regulated by the Insurance Commission of the Philippines. All insurance products recommended are underwritten by FWD Life Insurance Corporation. We act as your advisor and intermediary — we do not underwrite or guarantee any insurance product directly.
02
Limitations of Use
Our services, materials, and consultations are intended solely for individuals seeking personal financial protection and planning. You may not use any materials, tools, or information we provide for any unlawful purpose or in any manner that violates applicable Philippine law.
03
Our Advisory Role
Our role is to assess your financial situation, understand your goals, and recommend suitable FWD insurance and financial products. All recommendations are made in good faith based on the information you provide. Final decisions on any financial product are yours to make. We encourage you to read all policy documents carefully before signing.
04
Your Responsibilities as a Client
You are responsible for providing accurate, complete, and truthful information about your health, finances, and personal circumstances. Inaccurate information may affect your policy terms, coverage, or claims. You agree to review all policy documents and disclosures provided to you and to ask questions if anything is unclear.
05
Commissions & Compensation
As a licensed FWD insurance agent, Living Wisely receives commissions from FWD Life Insurance Corporation on policies placed through our practice. These commissions are paid by FWD and do not result in additional charges to you. We are committed to recommending products that are genuinely suitable for your needs, regardless of commission structure.
06
No Guarantee of Returns
Insurance products, including investment-linked policies, involve inherent risks. Past performance of any fund or product does not guarantee future results. Projected values in any illustration are not guaranteed unless explicitly stated in your policy contract.
07
Intellectual Property
All content, materials, frameworks, and educational resources created by Living Wisely — including financial planning guides, worksheets, and consultation materials — remain our intellectual property. You may use these for your personal financial planning only. You may not reproduce, distribute, or commercialise any of our materials without written consent.
08
Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by Philippine law, Living Wisely's liability is limited to the advisory services provided. We are not liable for decisions made by you based on incomplete information you provided, changes in product terms by FWD Life Insurance Corporation, or market fluctuations affecting investment-linked products. All insurance claims and policy matters are handled directly by FWD Life Insurance Corporation in accordance with your policy contract.
09
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines. Any disputes arising from our advisory relationship shall be subject to the jurisdiction of Philippine courts. Complaints regarding insurance products may also be directed to the Insurance Commission of the Philippines.
10
Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. Changes will be communicated to active clients. Continued engagement with our services constitutes acceptance of updated terms.

11
Changes to Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Significant changes will be communicated to active clients. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

Product features, premiums, terms, and conditions of FWD insurance products are subject to change by FWD Life Insurance Corporation without prior notice. Always refer to your official policy contract and FWD's current product documentation for accurate details. In case of any conflict between our advisory materials and your official policy document, the policy document prevails.
