You similarly understand and agree that a Client’s compliance personnel may listen to a consultation without prior notice and without announcing that they have joined the consultation.  From time to time a Client may wish to engage you as a speaker for an event.  If you agree to participate in such a Project, you agree that such Client may use your name, picture, and biographical data in connection with publicity for such event.  In exchange for the compensation paid to you for such a Project, you agree to release Guidepoint and the Guidepoint Parties (as defined in the Indemnification Paragraph below) and Guidepoint’s Clients from any and all claims and liabilities including, without limitation, any claim for libel, defamation, invasion of privacy, violation of the right of publicity, or commercial appropriation of name and likeness.  We expect you to perform all Projects in a timely, diligent and professional manner consistent with highest industry practice.

您只能接受Guidepoint单独安排或明确批准的与Guidepoint客户开展的项目。如果客户要求进行额外的项目或工作，您必须在开始工作之前获得我们的明确批准。若您参加的任何项目并非由Guidepoint单独安排或明确提前批准的，即使该项目是Guidepoint安排项目的后续，您也不会得到报酬。如果您受Guidepoint邀请为客户做一个项目，您可以在邀请发出的24小时内接受或拒绝。已接受的项目应在邀请发出的五个工作日内做出安排。除非得到我们的明确批准，否则您为项目的准备用时不得超过15分钟。未经Guidepoint事先书面同意，您不得邀请任何第三方参与任何项目。我们对您将收到的项目请求频率或数量不作出保证。您理解并同意某些Guidepoint客户可能会选择对其人员与顾问之间的咨询进行录音和/或文字记录，并且Guidepoint无权获得或控制任何此类录音或文字稿。您同样理解并同意，客户的合规人员可能会在没有事先通知、并不宣布自己加入咨询的情况下听取咨询。客户有时可能希望邀请您作为某一活动的演讲嘉宾。如果您同意参加此类项目，您同意客户可以使用您的姓名、照片和履历资料来宣传此类活动。为了获得您的项目报酬，您同意免责Guidepoint、Guidepoint各方（定义参见下文免责条款）与Guidepoint客户，使其免受任何与一切索赔与责任，包括但不限于任何对诽谤、诋毁、隐私权侵犯、公开权侵犯或商业利用姓名和肖像的索赔。我们期望您按照最高的行业做法，及时、认真、专业地履行所有项目。

PAYMENT

付款

You will be paid based on your customary consulting fees, as agreed by you and us. You may change your consulting fee rate only upon written notice to us and the new rate shall be applicable only to Projects that occur after our receipt of your written notice and our agreement to the consulting fee rate. You may not reveal your billing rates and financial arrangements to Clients without Guidepoint’s prior written consent.  Our payment system may accommodate consulting guidelines set forth by an Advisor’s employer, including joint payment to the Advisor and his or her employer, direct payment to the Advisor’s institution or payment to a charity of the Advisor’s choice. Advisors may be required to provide Guidepoint with their tax identification numbers and will receive a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 1099, as required. Payments will be made following the completion of an Advisor’s consulting engagement, typically within 15 days following the Advisor’s request for such payment through the Guidepoint Global Advisors website (https://new.guidepointglobaladvisors.com). Advisors must submit invoices for payment within 45 days after completion of any Project.

您的报酬将根据您和我们共同商定的、您一贯的咨询费率支付。若您想要更改您的咨询费率，您必须向我们发出书面通知，只有在我们收到您的书面通知并同意后，新费率方可对之后的项目生效。未经Guidepoint事先书面同意，您不得向客户透露您的费率和财务安排。我们的付款系统可以接受顾问的雇主设定的咨询准则，包括将款项共同支付给顾问和他或她的雇主、直接付款给顾问所在的机构或顾问指定的慈善机构。顾问可能被要求向Guidepoint提供其纳税识别号，并根据要求收到 U.S. Internal Revenue Service 1099表格。在顾问完成咨询工作后，顾问需要通过Guidepoint Global Advisors网站（https://new.guidepointglobaladvisors.com）提交付款请求，通常在请求提交的15天之内，款项会被支付。顾问必须在任何项目完成后的45天之内提交付款发票。

You also agree that, for a period of one year after the termination of your relationship with us for any reason whatsoever, you will not, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment, employ or hire any employee of Guidepoint or of any Clients to whom you have been first introduced by us.

责任限制

YOU AGREE THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL GUIDEPOINT PARTIES BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR SERVICES AND OTHER CONDUCT AS AN ADVISOR, OR YOUR INTERACTIONS OTHERWISE WITH GUIDEPOINT PARTIES OR CLIENTS. GUIDEPOINT PARTIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU BY THIRD PARTIES. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MAXIMUM CUMULATIVE LIABILITY OF GUIDEPOINT PARTIES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO ANY CONDUCT IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY GUIDEPOINT TO YOU HEREUNDER FOR THE RELEVANT CONSULTATION OR SURVEY IN THE MONTH SUCH LIABILITY IS ALLEGED TO HAVE ARISEN.  Guidepoint agrees not to seek to impose upon you liability for indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages based on your performance of services under these Terms & Conditions, so long as such damages do not arise out of or relate to a failure by you to comply with these Terms & Conditions, or conduct that constitutes gross negligence or intentional misconduct. Collectively, the terms in this paragraph constitute the “Limitation of Liability.”

您同意在任何情况下，对于您提供的服务、您作为顾问的其他行为、您与Guidepoint各方或客户的往来所导致的、或与之相关的任何间接、偶然、随之发生的、惩戒性或惩罚性赔偿，Guidepoint各方将不对您或任何其他方负有责任。Guidepoint对您面临的任何第三方发起的索赔概不负责。在任何情况下，对于Guidepoint各方因与本条款相关的任何行为所导致的、或与之有关的责任，上述责任的最高累计金额不得超过上述责任据称出现的当月Guidepoint为相关咨询或调查向您支付的费用。Guidepoint同意，只要损失并非由于您未能履行本条款，或您的行为构成了重大过失或有意不当行为，或并非与上述情况相关，您将无需承担因履行本条款下的服务所出现的间接、偶然、随之发生的、惩戒性或惩罚性的损失。本段内的条款共同组成了“责任限制”。

 

ARBITRATION, GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE

仲裁、适用法律与地点

The validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement of these Terms & Conditions shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHALL BE FULLY AND EXCLUSIVELY FINALLY SETTLED BY AN ARBITRATION HELD IN NEW YORK CITY UNDER THE RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION IN EFFECT FROM TIME TO TIME. YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

MISCELLANEOUS

其他

We may modify these Terms & Conditions from time to time by posting the modification(s) on our website, www.guidepointglobal.com. Unless otherwise specified by us when posted, all modifications will be effective upon posting. If you do not agree to any modification(s), your only recourse will be to terminate your participation as an Advisor in Guidepoint Global Advisors. If you continue to participate as an Advisor after any modification becomes effective, then your participation will constitute acceptance of such modification. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder. Neither these Terms & Conditions nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned, delegated or otherwise transferred, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by you without our prior written consent (which consent we may withhold in our sole discretion), and any such assignment, delegation or transfer by you without such prior written consent shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever. These Terms & Conditions shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of you and Guidepoint, the Guidepoint Parties and Clients of Guidepoint. As used in these Terms & Conditions, the word “including” shall mean “including, without limitation,” in all cases. Whenever possible, each provision of these Terms & Conditions shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of these Terms & Conditions is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of these Terms & Conditions, and these Terms & Conditions shall be reformed, construed and enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

我们可能会不定期修改本条款，并在我们的网站www.guidepoint.com上发布修改内容。除非发布时另有说明，否则所有修改将在发布后即时生效。如果您不同意某一处修改，您只能选择终止您的Guidepoint Global  Advisors成员身份。若在任何修改生效后，您继续作为顾问参与工作，那么这表示您接受上述修改。若任何一方未能或延迟履行任何权利、权力或权限，这将不得被视为自动放弃，任何单一或部分的行使行为将不会阻止任何权利、权力或权限的任何其他或进一步行使。未经我们事先书面同意（我方有权自行决定不予批准），您不得对本条款或任何依此的权利、利益或义务以法律运用或其他方式，进行部分或全部的分配、委托或转让，您未经事先书面同意而进行的任何分配、委托或转让均无效，且不具有任何法律效力。本条款和条件具有约束力，仅适用于您、Guidepoint、Guidepoint各方与客户的利益。本条款使用的“包括”一词在所有情况下均指“包括但不限于”。在所有可能情况下， 对本条款各项规定的解释应在适用法律下有效且成立，但若该条款的任何规定在任何方面被认定为无效、非法或不可执行，则其无效性、非法性或不可执行性将不会影响本条款的任何其他规定，且本条款的修改、解读与执行应照常进行，仿佛上述无效、非法或不可执行的规定从未在此出现过。
