Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the websites, applications, and services (collectively, the “Services”) provided by PhantomBridge (“PhantomBridge,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” refers to that organization.

PhantomBridge operates a corporate expert network that introduces institutional clients (“Clients”) to individuals with relevant domain expertise (“Experts”) for consultations, research, surveys, due diligence, and related engagements (each an “Engagement”). PhantomBridge is not a party to the advice provided in any Engagement and does not independently verify statements made by Experts beyond the compliance and screening processes described in our policies.

Use of the Services is limited to users who are 18 years or older and able to form a binding contract. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating an account and to keep it up to date. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account.

• Use Engagements solely for lawful business purposes and in accordance with applicable securities, data protection, and anti-bribery laws.
• Do not solicit or receive material non-public information (“MNPI”), confidential information belonging to an Expert’s current or former employer, or information covered by a duty of confidentiality.
• Do not record an Engagement without the Expert’s express written consent.
• Pay all fees invoiced for Engagements and platform access in accordance with the applicable order form or subscription agreement.

• Comply with all contractual, fiduciary, and legal obligations owed to current and former employers, including confidentiality and non-compete obligations.
• Do not disclose MNPI, trade secrets, or information subject to a confidentiality obligation.
• Decline any Engagement that would create a conflict of interest or violate an applicable policy, law, or regulation.
• Complete required compliance training and disclosures as requested by PhantomBridge.

Clients agree to pay the fees described in their order form, statement of work, or subscription agreement. Experts are compensated according to agreed rates for completed Engagements. Unless otherwise stated, fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, which are the paying party’s responsibility. Late payments may accrue interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law.

Each party agrees to protect the confidential information of the other party and of any counterparty in an Engagement with at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information (and no less than a reasonable standard). Confidentiality obligations survive termination of these Terms for a period of five (5) years, or indefinitely with respect to trade secrets.

The Services, including all software, content, and trademarks, are owned by PhantomBridge or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your internal business purposes. Deliverables produced in the course of an Engagement are governed by the applicable order form or statement of work.

You agree not to:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code from the Services;
• Use the Services to transmit malware, spam, or unlawful content;
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services or circumvent access controls;
• Resell, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit the Services except as expressly permitted.

The Services may integrate with or link to third-party services that PhantomBridge does not control. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or content of such third-party services, and your use of them is governed by their own terms.

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. PHANTOMBRIDGE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT INFORMATION PROVIDED BY EXPERTS IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR PURPOSES. PHANTOMBRIDGE IS NOT AN INVESTMENT ADVISER, BROKER-DEALER, LAW FIRM, OR ACCOUNTING FIRM, AND INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICES DOES NOT CONSTITUTE INVESTMENT, LEGAL, TAX, OR ACCOUNTING ADVICE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, OR GOODWILL. EACH PARTY’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID OR PAYABLE BY CLIENT TO PHANTOMBRIDGE UNDER THE APPLICABLE ORDER FORM IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PhantomBridge and its affiliates from and against any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Services, or your violation of applicable law.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the integrity of the Services. Upon termination, your right to access the Services will cease. Sections intended to survive termination (including confidentiality, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law) will continue in force.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Seoul Central District Court, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or confidential information.

We may modify these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the Services or by email to registered users. Continued use of the Services after the effective date of the revised Terms constitutes acceptance of the changes.
