Legal Notice
These Website Terms and Legal Notice explain the role of PT Tropical Estate Solution, the purpose of this website, and important legal limitations regarding property information, transactions, and due diligence.
1. Website Operator
This website is operated by:
PT Tropical Estate Solution
Bali Ruko Sunset Indah II No. 10, Kuta, Badung, Bali, Indonesia
Email: hello@sumbawa-trust.com
“Sumbawa Property Trust” or “SPT” is a commercial brand operated by PT Tropical Estate Solution.
2. Purpose of the Website
This website provides general information about land opportunities, market observations, property-consulting services, introductions, and transaction-coordination services in West Sumbawa and Indonesia.
The website is informational and promotional only.
Nothing on this website constitutes:
- a public offer;
- a binding offer to sell or purchase land;
- a securities offering;
- a collective investment offering;
- a guarantee of return, appreciation, liquidity, resale, rental income, financing, development approval, or infrastructure completion;
- legal, tax, financial, investment, architectural, engineering, zoning, construction, or immigration advice.
3. Role of PT Tropical Estate Solution and SPT
PT Tropical Estate Solution, under the brand Sumbawa Property Trust, does not own the land presented on this website and is not its registered title holder or seller. The land is owned by third-party landowners and sellers. SPT introduces prospective buyers to those landowners and sellers, presents the available parcels, and coordinates the resulting transaction and the associated company and title procedures.
Subject to any separate written agreement, SPT may provide market information, property marketing, introductions between prospective buyers, sellers, landowners, service providers, and advisers, support with document collection, and coordination of meetings, site visits, communications, and independently appointed notaries, PPATs, lawyers, surveyors, and advisers.
Unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement signed by PT Tropical Estate Solution, neither PT Tropical Estate Solution nor SPT is: the owner, registered title holder, seller, or buyer of a parcel; a notary, PPAT, lawyer, tax adviser, financial adviser, bank, or escrow agent; the holder of a purchaser’s deposit; the recipient of a purchase price; or authorised to bind a seller, buyer, landowner, notary, PPAT, bank, or other third party. No fiduciary, partnership, joint-venture, agency, or representation relationship is created merely by use of this website, an enquiry, a consultation, an introduction, or a communication with SPT.
4. Notaries, PPATs, and Professional Advisers
SPT may introduce a notary, PPAT, lawyer, surveyor, tax adviser, or other professional from its network.
Any such professional acts independently and is responsible for their own professional services, advice, documents, fees, and legal obligations.
A buyer is free to appoint its own independent Indonesian lawyer, notary, PPAT, tax adviser, surveyor, and other advisers.
No person should rely on SPT as a substitute for independent legal, tax, financial, zoning, environmental, or technical advice.
5. No Binding Transaction Through the Website
No reservation, deposit, purchase, sale, transfer, share acquisition, lease, assignment, or other binding transaction is created through:
- this website;
- an enquiry form;
- an email;
- WhatsApp;
- a brochure;
- a map;
- a video;
- a verbal statement;
- a price indication;
- an investment brief; or
- any other marketing material.
A transaction becomes binding only when the relevant parties sign formal written transaction documents.
Those documents may include, where relevant, a reservation agreement, PPJB, AJB, share-purchase agreement, escrow instruction, corporate-resolution document, or another property-specific agreement.
6. Property Information and “Verified” Claims
Property information may include land size, location, asking price, title type, zoning references, access, maps, photographs, development concepts, infrastructure references, market commentary, and historic comparisons.
Such information:
- may change without notice;
- may rely partly on third-party information;
- is not title insurance or a legal opinion;
- is not guaranteed to be complete or current;
- must be independently verified by the prospective buyer.
References to “verified”, “reviewed”, “ready”, “zoned”, “suitable”, or similar language mean only that preliminary documents or information may have been reviewed internally as of a stated date.
They do not mean that PT Tropical Estate Solution guarantees title, boundaries, access, zoning, permits, absence of disputes, absence of encumbrances, resale, development rights, financing, or transaction completion.
7. HGB and PT PMA Structures
Where a property is described as available through HGB via a PT PMA:
- the relevant HGB is held by the Indonesian legal entity named in the relevant certificate;
- a foreign investor’s interest is generally structured through shares in a relevant PT PMA or another lawful transaction structure, not direct personal ownership of the HGB;
- the precise structure must be determined in the property-specific transaction documents;
- the certificate, title holder, current term, conditions, transferability, permitted use, and corporate structure must be independently verified.
Under the current Indonesian legal framework, HGB on certain categories of land may be granted for an initial term of up to 30 years, with a possible extension of up to 20 years and a possible renewal of up to 30 years.
Whether a specific HGB is eligible for any extension or renewal depends on the relevant certificate, land status, use, permits, compliance, approvals, and applicable law at the relevant time.
No extension, renewal, transfer, development approval, or future value is automatic or guaranteed.
8. Prices, Currency, and Payment Instructions
Website prices may be shown in Indonesian rupiah or as an indicative foreign-currency reference.
The legally binding price, currency, taxes, fees, payment terms, and recipient account must be stated in the relevant signed transaction documents and must comply with applicable Indonesian law.
No payment should be made solely on the basis of website content, WhatsApp messages, email instructions, or unverified bank details.
PT Tropical Estate Solution will not request that a property deposit or purchase price be transferred to a personal bank account.
9. Fees and Conflicts
PT Tropical Estate Solution may receive consulting fees, marketing fees, referral fees, commissions, or other commercial compensation in connection with property opportunities or transaction-support services.
Any material fee arrangement or conflict relevant to a specific transaction will be disclosed in writing before a prospective buyer enters into a binding commitment.
10. Independent Due Diligence
Before entering into any transaction, a prospective buyer must independently verify:
- title, certificate status, and title holder;
- seller authority;
- land boundaries and land area;
- zoning, planning, and legally permitted use;
- access roads, easements, and rights of way;
- environmental, forestry, coastal, and setback restrictions;
- taxes, fees, and transaction costs;
- PT PMA and corporate compliance;
- permits, licences, construction requirements, and operating requirements;
- infrastructure, water, electricity, telecommunications, roads, and access;
- legal, financial, tax, and regulatory consequences.
A buyer should appoint its own independent advisers before committing funds.
11. Intellectual Property
All website content, including texts, maps, photographs, videos, plans, graphics, branding, layouts, and documents, is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, republish, sell, or commercially use website content without prior written permission.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, PT Tropical Estate Solution is not liable for loss, damage, cost, or claim arising from:
- reliance on website content;
- property availability, price changes, zoning changes, title issues, permit issues, or infrastructure delays;
- third-party information;
- a buyer’s failure to conduct independent due diligence;
- an investment, development, purchase, or resale decision;
- interruption, delay, error, or unavailability of the website.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability arising from fraud or wilful misconduct.
13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Indonesia.
Any dispute relating solely to this website or these Terms shall be resolved by the competent courts of Indonesia, subject to mandatory procedural law.
A separate signed transaction document may specify a different dispute-resolution mechanism, court, or arbitration forum for that transaction.
14. Language and Priority of Documents
For Indonesian-law transactions, the relevant signed transaction documents should be prepared in Bahasa Indonesia and, where appropriate, English or another agreed language.
If there is any inconsistency between this website, these Terms, or marketing materials and a signed transaction document, the signed transaction document prevails.
15. Changes
We may update these Terms at any time.
The current version will be published on this website with an updated “Last updated” date.
