CHANNEL CHARTER

We compete independently

 

We set our own prices, margins and bids independently, and we expect you to do the same. We will not coordinate pricing, align bids, agree to stay out of any market, or exchange commercially sensitive information with you or between partners. We will never act as a channel for information between two of our partners.

 

On public, government and state-owned-entity tenders, this is absolute. We will not withhold a bid, decline to bid, or refuse to supply a bidder because of any partner relationship.

​

We do not restrict your people, and you do not restrict ours

 

We will not sign a no-poach or staff non-solicitation clause, and we will not ask you for one. People are free to move. Recruitment is governed by individual employment contracts and applicable labour law — nothing else. This position is deliberate and it is not negotiable.

​

We will not go around you

 

Where you introduce us to a client for a defined piece of work, we will not approach that client directly for that work other than through you, for an agreed period set out in our teaming agreement. Your investment in the introduction is protected.

 

This attaches to opportunities, never to accounts. We hold no list of clients we have agreed to stay away from, and we will not agree to one. If a client comes to us directly, or asks for us by name, we will tell you — and we will act on the client's instruction.

​

Deconfliction, without leaking

 

When you ask us to check an opportunity for conflict, you get one of three answers: Clear, Conflicted, or Unable to disclose.

 

That is all you get, and it is all any other partner gets about you. We will never name a conflicting partner, describe another partner's pipeline, pricing or client, or confirm whether a particular firm is a PRAECEPTA partner. Deconfliction records are access-controlled and never shared between partners.

​

White-label discipline

 

We deliver under your brand where that is what you have contracted for. Your client stays your client. We use no partner or end-client name, mark or logo in our own marketing without your prior written consent, and nothing on this page implies that we have it.

 

Data protection and residency are agreed in writing before we mobilise, with a documented processor and sub-processor chain meeting the requirements that apply to your client — including UAE and Saudi PDPL, CBUAE, SAMA, NCA, POPIA, NDPR, and GDPR where relevant.

 

One limit is absolute. Technical findings, severity ratings and risk conclusions are PRAECEPTA's independent professional opinion. How they are presented can be white-labelled. What they say cannot. We will not soften, downgrade or suppress a finding — for a partner, for a vendor, or for an end client. This survives the end of the engagement.

​

Reciprocity

 

Referrals flow both ways on reasonable endeavours. There are no quotas, no minimum volumes and no exclusivity. We never link referral flow to any restriction on competing.

 

Referral fees apply only where agreed in writing, lawful in the relevant jurisdiction, and disclosed to the end client where required — and never where a public official, state-owned entity or government tender is involved.

 

Vendor relationships and independence

 

We hold partner status with selected technology vendors. We publish these relationships so you and your clients can weigh our advice knowing exactly what we earn.

Reviewed quarterly. Last updated: [August 18th, 2026].

 

We disclose before we recommend. Where a recommendation of ours involves a vendor we have a commercial relationship with, we say so in the deliverable itself, at the point of recommendation — not buried in a footnote, and not only on this page.

 

Assurance is firewalled from resale. On independent assurance work — penetration testing, NCSC CAF assessment, IEC 62443 assessment, architecture review, audit-adjacent work — we take no resale margin, referral fee or rebate on any product we recommend in those findings. If your client later wants to buy a recommended product through us, that is a separate, disclosed decision they make freely. It is never a condition of the assurance work.

 

Findings are not for sale. No vendor has any right of review over our findings. No vendor target, quota or tier requirement influences a severity rating.

 

Vendor-neutral by default. Where several products can meet a control objective, we show the options and the trade-offs. Where we recommend one, we say why, and we say what we earn.

 

Ask us any time. Any partner or client may ask for written confirmation of our financial interest in anything we have recommended. We will provide it.

 

Vendor names, logos and tiers shown above indicate only the relationship stated. They do not imply vendor endorsement of our advice, findings or conclusions.

 

Compliance

 

We comply with applicable competition law, anti-bribery law, and sanctions and export-control requirements in every market where we operate. If any part of this Charter were found unlawful in a given jurisdiction, it would be severed or narrowed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest would stand.

 

Working with us

 

This Charter is not an offer, not an exclusivity arrangement, and not binding until reflected in a signed agreement. Partners who want the full teaming pack, including our deconfliction procedure and commercial terms, can request it at [ops@praecepta.ae].
