These confidentiality obligations survive termination of any Executive Partner Contract or engagement with RAHE.

  • An Executive Partner fails to comply with applicable law, health and safety norms, or venue regulations;

  • An Executive Partner misrepresents its qualifications, capacity, or licenses; or

Removal from the Executive Partner panel does not relieve the Executive Partner of obligations under any existing Executive Partner Contract.

6.5 Executive Partner Contract

All event-specific engagements between RAHE and Executive Partners are governed by a separate Executive Partner Contract, which shall be issued for each assignment. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these Terms and a signed Executive Partner Contract, the Executive Partner Contract shall prevail to the extent of the inconsistency for matters specific to that engagement.
