Furthermore, in case the Expert is an employee, he/she shall not talk on behalf of its employer and shall not disclose any information related to its current employer. Experts shall give their personal opinion. 4.3. The Expert does not have to advise or make recommendations to the Clients, but simply to share with them his/her personal opinion and perspectives on topics relating to his/her professional activity.

For this reason, in particular, the Expert shall refrain from replying to or adopting a position on questions relating to the feasibility, profitability or to the appropriateness of any transaction envisaged by a Client. The Expert shall not reply to (a) Client(s) seeking such advice or recommendations and shall inform the Company immediately in the event of such an occurrence.

In carrying on the Activity, the Expert undertakes to comply with the legal and regulatory measures in force however these may apply to his/her contribution as well as with all contractual commitments by which he/she may be bound, (e.g. compliance with contractual measures binding him/her to an employer if he/she is a salaried employee, compliance with the principles of confidentiality by which he/she may be contractually or legally bound, compliance with any possible code of ethics, ...). If the Expert is in any doubt whatsoever about the (legal, material, etc.) possibility of his/her being able to take part in an Interview, he/she shall refuse to participate in it.
