QPIN Policies & Professional Standards At Quantum Professional Impact Network (QPIN), we are committed to building a new standard of consulting—defined by trust, transparency, and results. Our policies ensure that every engagement reflects our commitment to ethical conduct, structured delivery, and client-first thinking.

1. Engagement Policy

• QPIN acts as the single-point contract holder and operational manager for all consulting engagements.
• All consultants are vetted and contracted exclusively through QPIN. Clients do not enter into direct contracts with consultants to ensure quality and risk control.
• Every engagement is governed by a mutually signed Project Brief (PB) outlining scope, success metrics, timelines, and pricing.

2. Governance & Delivery Assurance

• QPIN embeds a Project Management Office (PMO) layer in all consulting engagements.
• We ensure disciplined execution through fortnightly governance check-ins, risk escalation protocols, milestone tracking, and consultant replacement support when needed.
• We take ownership of the full project lifecycle—from scope definition to final delivery.

3. Consultant Conduct & Ethics

All QPIN consultants are bound by a stringent Code of Conduct which includes:

• Purpose-led, outcome-focused delivery
• Unwavering professionalism and confidentiality
• Independence from commercial bias
• Respect for client context and team collaboration
• Zero tolerance for plagiarism, IP misuse, or backchannel engagement

Violations may lead to delisting from the platform.

4. Confidentiality & IP

• All client and consultant engagements are covered by confidentiality and NDA obligations.
• Consultants are contractually bound to not reuse or repurpose any client IP without written approval.
• All deliverables remain the sole intellectual property of the client unless stated otherwise.

5. Conflict of Interest & Non-Compete

• Consultants are restricted from engaging with the same client independently within 12 months of project completion unless approved by QPIN.
• Any potential or actual conflicts of interest must be disclosed before onboarding.
• A formal declaration of neutrality and non-affiliation is a precondition for engagement.

6. Risk & Indemnity

• QPIN ensures continuity, backup planning, and structured governance to avoid project disruption.
• Clients indemnify QPIN for any damages resulting from misuse of deliverables or consultant misconduct.
• Consultants indemnify QPIN for inaccurate advice, breach of confidentiality, or IP violations.

7. Legal Compliance

• All operations are governed by Indian laws including the Companies Act, Income Tax Act, GST Act, and SEBI Insider Trading Regulations (where applicable).
• All disputes shall be subject to arbitration in Mumbai under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.

8. Sustainability & Capability Building
