1. About This Portal

This website (the "Portal") is provided by the Trustees of the Vaillant Group Pension Scheme ("we", "us", or "our"). It allows registered members ("you") to view details of your pension benefits, update your personal details, run projections of your potential pension entitlements, and download official scheme documents, such as your Annual Benefit Statement.

2. Information for Illustration Purposes Only

All pension figures, projections, and estimates displayed on, generated by, or downloaded from this Portal — including any outputs from the projection tool — are strictly illustrative. They are designed to give you an indication of your potential benefits based on the assumptions used and do not constitute a guarantee, promise, or formal offer of payment. Actual benefits payable will be calculated in accordance with the Trust Deed and Rules at the relevant time.

3. Precedence of Scheme Rules

The Portal is a summary tool only. Your legal entitlements are governed strictly by the formal Trust Deed and Rules of the Vaillant Group Pension Scheme, as amended from time to time. In the event of any conflict or discrepancy between the information displayed on or downloaded from this Portal and the formal Trust Deed and Rules, the Trust Deed and Rules will always prevail.

4. Account Security and Your Responsibilities

To access the Portal, you must register and set up security credentials (such as a username, password, or PIN). You are solely responsible for:

  • Keeping your login credentials strictly confidential and not sharing them with anyone.
  • Ensuring that any device you use to access the Portal or download documents is secure and free from malware.
  • Logging out completely when you finish using the Portal, especially on public or shared computers.
  • Notifying the Scheme Administrator immediately if you suspect your account has been compromised.

5. Changes to Personal Details

The Portal allows you to update certain personal details, such as your address, contact information, and expression of wish nominations. You are responsible for ensuring that all information you submit through the Portal is accurate, complete, and up to date. We reserve the right to request supporting evidence or verification before accepting any changes. Changes submitted through the Portal may not take effect immediately and will be subject to processing by the Scheme Administrator.
