I’m not sure whether I’m permitted to perform outside consulting under
my employment agreement. What should I do?
You should confer with your employer to confirm that you are permitted to consult
through Askpert. You are solely responsible for determining whether you are permitted to
consult given your employment circumstances.
What should I do if I’m invited for a consultation that directly
concerns my employer?
You should decline the invitation, notify ASKPERT of the reason,and update your
biographical information if necessary to ensure our records are accurate and up to date.
ASKPERT Terms & Conditions categorically prohibit Advisors from consulting about their
employers.
If I'm asked about a company for whom I consulted or a clinical trial
upon which I worked, may I discuss it?
You should carefully review your continuing obligations to any companies for whom you
have consulted or clinical trials upon which you have worked. Companies and clinical
trials will sometimes put confidentiality restrictions in their consulting agreements
that prohibit consultants from disclosing or discussing certain information for a period
beyond the termination of the relationship. Under no circumstances should you discuss
non-public clinical trial data or patient experience information. Likewise, if you are a
Data Safety Monitoring Board or Clinical Trial Steering Committee member, you must
decline any consultation concerning current clinical trials. If you are not confident
that you are permitted to undertake a particular consultation, you should decline.
May I discuss the details of my client consultations and surveys with
others?
No. Your consultations with Askpert Clients – and any information you receive in
connection with a consultation or an invitation to consult – are strictly confidential.
You may not disclose a Client’s identity, the subjects discussed or any information or
materials provided to you by a Client. Likewise, you should not share information
concerning any surveys that you are provided by Askpert.
If I’m asked a question that would require me to reveal material
non-public or otherwise confidential information, how should I respond?
You should explain that you cannot answer the question because it would cause you to
reveal confidential information. If you feel that a Client was knowingly seeking to
solicit material non-public or confidential information from you, you should notify
Askpert Compliance under 24 hours after the session concluded ([email protected]).
What is material non-public information?
To be safe, you may not disclose any information that is confidential to any company.
It is difficult to determine the materiality of particular facts in isolation and
you should not attempt to do so. Instead, you should decline any project or inquiry
that would involve disclosure of any confidential information.
“Material non-public information” is the legal term for information that can give
rise to insider trading liability. Information is “material” if “there is a
substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important” in
deciding whether to buy, sell or hold a security (e.g., a stock or bond). To meet
the threshold for materiality, there must exist a “substantial likelihood” that a
fact “would have been viewed by the reasonable investor as having significantly
altered the ‘total mix’ of information made available.” Information may be deemed
material even if it relates to speculative or contingent events.
Information is regarded as “non-public” unless and until it has been broadly
disseminated or made widely available to the general public. Means of dissemination
could include public filings, coverage by major news organizations, posting on
widely-trafficked web sites, publication in research reports and circulation in
proxy materials. Even if a public announcement has been made about a particular
matter, unpublicized aspects of the matter may remain “non-public” for purposes of
the securities laws.
When I click online that “I agree” to Askpert’s terms & conditions, am I
legally bound by them?
Yes, you are legally bound. Clicking “I Accept” is the legal equivalent of signing a
paper contract agreeing to Askpert’s Terms & Conditions and you will be expected to
abide by them fully.
If I become an advisor, am I prohibited from consulting for clients
outside of Askpert?
Askpert only asks that you continue to work through us with any Client to whom we first
introduced you. In the case of large corporate Clients, it is possible that you may have
an existing relationship with one division and be introduced by Askpert to Client
employees in another. These situations will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.
Am I permitted to act as a consultant for another primary research
company?
Yes. We only ask that you continue to work through us with any Client to whom we first
introduced you.
Am I permitted to engage with a client previously introduced by Askpert
outside of the platform?
No, you can’t. This is highlighted in our T&C Non-Circumvention/Non-Solicitation Clause
and it is legally binding. If in any case a client reaching you out directly via other
platform such as linkedin or direct message, you have to flag it to Askpert via
[email protected]
What if I want to reschedule/cancel the session?
Yes you can. Please let our associate know via email on your changes at least D-2 before
the session. Failing to do so
will resulted in a 20% deduction in your total fee.
What if I bailed during the d-day?
You will get the lowest rating in our platform (0) from this bailed session and your
next session payout will be cut 50%. This will also impact your likelihood of being
chosen for the next project.
Can I get my payment with dollar as the currency?
No, all payments to the advisor will be in Rupiah, using the exchange rate applicable
during the invoicing day. If you are not sure on what rate that we use, please refer to
the one stated in the invoice.
When will I get paid?
Please be advised that your payment will be remitted via direct deposit and will be
ready in your funds in the next 7-14 working days after you click the "Agree" button in
your mail. The email will be sent to you once you finished the session. If you do not
click this after 14 days since this email has been sent, then we will proceed with the
payment and automatically distribute it to your account.
