Consultant Marketplace Terms
Effective date: 20 August 2026 · Version: 2026.08.20
These Terms apply to consultants listed on Hospiverse and supplement the Terms of Use.
1. Independent Status
Consultants are independent businesses/professionals, not employees, partners, agents or authorised representatives of Hospiverse. Listing or verification does not mean Hospiverse supervises, endorses or guarantees professional advice.
2. Eligibility and Credentials
A Consultant must accurately disclose identity, business name, qualifications, experience, location, specialties, registrations/licences where required, conflicts and professional-insurance status where relevant. A credential badge reflects only the check described in the Verification Standards.
3. Profile Content
Profiles, portfolios, case studies, testimonials and results must be truthful, authorised and non-confidential. Do not claim qualifications, clients, savings, awards or project outcomes without evidence and permission.
4. Enquiries and Contracts
Hospiverse introduces a prospective client. Unless a written arrangement expressly states otherwise:
- the Consultant and client agree scope, fee, timeline and deliverables directly;
- payment is made directly to the Consultant;
- the Consultant issues the invoice and handles tax;
- the Consultant is responsible for professional quality, confidentiality, intellectual property and legal compliance; and
- Hospiverse is not a party to the consulting engagement.
5. Professional Obligations
The Consultant must act with reasonable skill and care, disclose conflicts, protect client data, avoid regulated advice outside their competence/licence, and comply with applicable professional and advertising rules.
6. Enquiry Data
Use client data only for the enquiry and resulting engagement. Do not sell, scrape or add the person to unrelated marketing without valid permission. Confidential requirements and documents must be protected.
7. Consultant Plans
Consultant Free: free
Consultant Pro: INR 1,499 monthly or INR 11,999 annually
Consultant Elite: INR 3,499 monthly or INR 29,999 annually
Pro and Elite may include a 14-day free trial. The Plan Schedule and Subscription Policy govern features, trial conversion, automatic renewal, cancellation and no-refund treatment.
8. Placement and Leads
Priority/featured placement is relative and subject to relevance and inventory. No plan guarantees a minimum enquiry, engagement, fee or revenue unless a signed order states an express commitment and remedy.
9. Reviews and Disputes
Consultants must not manipulate reviews or retaliate against good-faith feedback. Engagement disputes are primarily between Consultant and client. Hospiverse may facilitate communication or restrict a profile but does not adjudicate professional liability.
10. Suspension
Hospiverse may require evidence, correct or remove content, withdraw verification or suspend/terminate a Consultant for misrepresentation, misconduct, repeated substantiated complaints, privacy misuse, non-payment or legal/safety concerns.
11. Indemnity
The Consultant will indemnify Hospiverse against third-party claims caused by the Consultant's advice, service, infringement, confidentiality/privacy breach, tax failure, misrepresentation or legal non-compliance, except to the extent caused by Hospiverse.
12. Contact
Consultant grievances may be sent under the Grievance Policy to jigar.chanana@hospiverse.in.
