2. General Overview

I provide consultancy services in the procurement of Operating Supplies & Equipment (OS&E) for hotel projects.
The website and the Product Ideas Showcase are for general information only and do not constitute professional or legal advice.
The information I provide is for general guidance only, tailored to each Client’s needs.
I do not manufacture or sell goods. I provide advice on suitable suppliers and products.
The Client is solely responsible for managing the tender process and negotiating pricing and terms with suppliers.
I have no contractual relationships with any suppliers or manufacturers.
I act only as an intermediary and am not a party to any purchase agreement or supplier contract.
The supplier is fully responsible for the sale, quality, compliance, and delivery of goods and services.
Clients must carry out due diligence to confirm that suppliers meet financial, legal, and product standards.
I may receive affiliate commissions if a buyer purchases products via links on my website.

While I may propose potential suppliers, responsibility for reviewing, assessing, and approving them lies entirely with the Client.
Participation in any tender process is subject to suppliers meeting the Client’s pre-qualification requirements. An example of such a process is provided on the page: ‘Suppliers Pre-Qualification Process’ and includes the section Supplier Compliance Policies.

My services are fee-based. Interested parties should request a formal fee proposal.
All purchase orders and supplier payments are the Client’s responsibility.
Final purchase terms must be negotiated directly between the Client and the Supplier.
I may offer guidance on typical order terms and conditions, but all contracts are concluded by the Client.
Clients are expected to use their internal purchase order systems.
All warranties, contractual obligations, and liabilities reside solely between the Client and Supplier.

4. Reports & Budgets

Budget estimates, equipment lists, and other documents I provide are indicative and for guidance only.
Budgets are generally ex-works and do not include freight, duties, or local handling.
While I review all documents carefully, I do not accept liability for errors, omissions, or inaccuracies.
I am not responsible for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential losses arising from reliance on my reports.

5. Procurement Process

Suppliers are expected to quote in full compliance with the generic specifications I prepare.
Alternative specifications must be clearly stated and submitted in addition to the original quote, subject to Client approval.
It is the Client’s responsibility to ensure all products comply with relevant local and national hotel regulations (e.g. fire, safety, hygiene, electrical).
I may assess suppliers as part of the process, but final responsibility for supplier choice lies with the Client.
I am not liable for incorrect specifications, product quality, late or missed deliveries, or pricing issues.
Local procurement and logistics are managed by the Client or their designated partner.
Any goods or services presented via my platform or documents do not create legal obligations or rights against me.
