Terms of Service

Guida Insight operates a boutique expert network connecting institutional clients with vetted subject matter experts through consultation calls, expert-led webinars, in-person discussions, surveys, and custom expert recruitment. The precise scope, fees, deliverables, and timelines for each engagement are set out in a separate written agreement or statement of work.

Clients agree to:

• Use expert insights solely for their own internal, lawful business purposes.
• Not seek, solicit, or accept material non-public information ("MNPI"), confidential employer information, or information protected by a legal or contractual obligation.
• Not record consultations without the express written consent of Guida Insight and the expert.
• Pay all agreed fees in accordance with the applicable engagement letter.
• Comply with all applicable laws, including securities and competition laws.

Experts agree to:

• Share only their own experience, judgement, and publicly available information.
• Not disclose MNPI, trade secrets, or any information protected by an existing employer, contractual, or legal obligation.
• Not consult on matters in which they face a conflict of interest without prior disclosure to Guida Insight.
• Comply with Guida Insight's compliance framework and the terms of any NDA.
• Accurately represent their expertise, employment, and affiliations.

Each engagement is subject to a non-disclosure agreement. Clients and experts agree to treat all confidential information exchanged through Guida Insight as strictly confidential, to use it only for the agreed purpose, and not to disclose it to any third party without prior written consent.

Guida Insight enforces controls designed to prevent the exchange of MNPI and to manage conflicts of interest. We reserve the right to decline, pause, or terminate any engagement that, in our reasonable assessment, raises compliance concerns. Clients and experts agree to cooperate fully with these controls.

Fees for services and expert compensation are set out in the relevant engagement letter or expert engagement terms. Invoices are payable within the period specified, and any taxes, duties, or withholding required by law are the responsibility of the paying party unless otherwise agreed in writing.

All rights in the Guida Insight brand, website, materials, and methodologies remain the property of Guida Insight. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any intellectual property to clients, experts, or third parties, except as expressly agreed in writing.

Expert insights are provided as personal views based on the expert's own experience and are not investment, legal, tax, or other professional advice. Clients are solely responsible for any decision made on the basis of information received through Guida Insight. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of any expert insight for a particular purpose.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the total aggregate liability of Guida Insight to any client or expert in respect of any engagement is limited to the fees actually paid by that client, or received by that expert, in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to liability. We shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or special losses, including loss of profits, business, or goodwill.

Each client and expert agrees to indemnify and hold Guida Insight harmless against claims, losses, and expenses arising from their breach of these Terms, of any applicable law, or of any engagement-specific agreement.

Either party may terminate an engagement in accordance with the relevant engagement letter. Guida Insight may suspend or terminate access to its services immediately in the event of a material breach of these Terms, a compliance concern, or a legal requirement.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to the terms of any specific engagement letter, the courts at Mumbai, India shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms. For engagements executed in the UAE or other jurisdictions, additional or substituted governing-law and jurisdiction provisions may apply as agreed in the relevant engagement letter.
