The Services
ApiaryLife is a life event support service, offering practical, logistical, and administrative support and guidance through significant life events. We offer an online Platform/App through which You can access interactive checklists and resources, navigate decisions, complete tasks, connect with an expert and receive education and guidance on the process for dealing with a range of life events. We also offer Expert Support to provide consultation, information, education, recommendations, guidance, and to complete tasks and carry out research on Your behalf. Experts may provide support, through a variety of platforms and sources including articles, webinars, resources, messaging services, telephone calls and online video calls, dependent on the Scope of Services agreed.
Your employer or another organization may enter into an associated agreement with Us to allow Your access to the Services. Where appropriate, We will provide You with information as to the cost, scope, and duration (as relevant) of the Services available to You as a result of Our agreement with Your employer or another organization.

When using our Platform/App Support, please be aware that the guidance, information and content made available to You has been prepared for a general audience and has not been assessed based on Your specific needs or concerns. Please check with the relevant medical, legal, financial, tax, mental health or other appropriate professionals and do not place any isolated reliance on these resources.
Expert Support: Our Expert Support provides You with 1:1 bespoke guidance and support from one of Our experts, employees, contractors or agents who will provide consulting and administrative support services to You.

If You decide to go ahead with their recommendations then You do so at Your own risk and, where any such recommendation is based on a third party or associated provider, then any complaint or concern should be directed to that third party or associated provider. We always recommend that You seek appropriate medical, mental health, legal or financial (as and where appropriate) guidance as to Your specific circumstances without placing any reliance on the information or guidance you may have received from our experts. If You have any queries about the information or guidance that You have received, then please seek independent advice.
