1. Who We Are

Devota is a pre-border document compliance validation platform operated by StrictPoint Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales. References to “we”, “us”, “our” mean StrictPoint Ltd. References to “you” or “user” mean any individual or business accessing or using the Devota platform.

Devota does not:

• Constitute legal or regulatory advice
• Guarantee customs clearance by HMRC or any other authority
• Act as a licensed customs agent or freight forwarder
• Accept liability for decisions made based on its outputs

You remain solely and fully responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and legality of all documentation submitted to HMRC, the UK Border Force, or any other regulatory body.

3. Eligibility

To use Devota you must:
