§ 1 Scope
These terms and conditions apply to all advisory and brokerage services provided by Trendforce Consulting LLC (the «Provider») to entrepreneurs and companies. Deviating terms of the client do not apply unless the Provider expressly agrees to them in writing.
§ 2 Services
The services comprise in particular: (a) strategic advice on scaling, digitalization and the tokenization of companies and assets, (b) brokering contacts to partners, service providers and investor communities, and (c) support for tokenization projects. Technical and legal implementation is carried out by specialized third parties; in this respect the Provider owes brokerage and support, not the success of the implementation.
The Provider does not render legal, tax or investment advice within the meaning of regulated advisory services; for such services it refers to appropriately licensed professionals.
§ 3 Conclusion of contract
Representations on the website are non-binding. A contract is only concluded upon mutual signature of an engagement or mandate document or upon written order confirmation by the Provider. A free introductory call does not establish a mandate.
§ 4 Client cooperation
The client shall provide all information and documents required for the performance of the services in good time, completely and accurately, and shall name a contact person authorized to make decisions. Delays resulting from breached cooperation duties are not attributable to the Provider.
§ 5 Remuneration
Remuneration is governed by the respective engagement agreement (fees based on time and effort, fixed fees, or success-based components for brokerage). Agreed remuneration is exclusive of any statutory taxes and duties. Invoices are payable without deduction within 14 days.
§ 6 Confidentiality
Both parties shall treat all non-public information obtained in the course of the cooperation as confidential and use it exclusively for the performance of the contract. This obligation continues for three years after the end of the contract.
§ 7 Liability
The Provider is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, and for injury to life, body or health. In cases of simple negligence, the Provider is liable only for the breach of essential contractual obligations, limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. No liability is assumed for economic outcomes, market developments, the success of capital measures, or decisions of third parties (in particular investors, platforms, authorities).
§ 8 No investment recommendation
All information provided by the Provider — on the website and in documents — serves general informational purposes. It does not constitute an offer, solicitation or recommendation to acquire or dispose of financial instruments or tokens. Each party makes investment decisions independently and based on its own review.
§ 9 Final provisions
Amendments and additions require text form. Should individual provisions be wholly or partially invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. Governing law and place of jurisdiction follow from the respective engagement agreement; absent such agreement, the law at the Provider's registered seat applies.
