Terms of Service

These terms apply to all memberships and statements of work. Certain jurisdictions may require additional schedules or local law addenda. Updated: 26 Oct 2025.

1. Membership & SOW Framework

Membership tiers (Explorer, Wanderer, Member, Lord, Partner) determine base privileges. Statements of work (SOW) specify deliverables, milestones, and disclosure boundaries.
We reserve the right to decline or suspend membership to meet legal obligations or if disclosure limits cannot be honoured.

2. Client Responsibilities

Provide accurate, anonymised summaries sufficient for conflict checks and regulator filings. When personal identifiers are required, they must be delivered inside the secure data rooms we supply.
Comply with sanctions, AML, and tax laws. Notify us immediately of any investigations or restrictions impacting the engagement.
Ensure RC token wallets used for payment belong to you or your approved custodians.

3. Fees & RC Tokens

RCCoin is the default payment instrument for retainers and milestones. Fiat billing (USD, SGD, CHF, GBP) may be used for taxes, filings, or third-party expenses.
Milestones release only after both parties sign off. Refunds for unused RCCoin require AML clearance and may incur processing fees.
Late payments accrue 1.5% monthly interest; repeated non-payment may result in service suspension.

4. Confidentiality & Intellectual Property

Both parties agree to maintain confidentiality indefinitely, except where disclosure is legally mandated.
Deliverables (opinions, governance frameworks, software artefacts) are licensed for internal use. Redistribution or resale requires our written consent.
We may reference anonymised case signals for educational purposes, but never reveal names or unique identifiers without approval.

5. Liability & Dispute Resolution

Total liability is capped at fees paid during the preceding 12 months. Neither party is liable for indirect, consequential, or lost-profit damages.
Disputes arising from SOWs are resolved via confidential arbitration in Singapore (SIAC) or another agreed venue. Emergency injunctive relief may be sought in competent courts to protect confidentiality or IP.
Private Counsel members receive expedited dispute handling, including dedicated arbitration preparation teams.
