Safeguards
- Matchmaking introduces parties; terms, contracts and performance rest with them.
- Procurement information is provided as information only; HIIL does not act as an agent in any tender.
- Investment opportunities are documented with their assumptions and are labelled as assessed opportunities, not as offers.
- Enterprise information shared with buyers or investors is limited to fields the enterprise has consented to share.
