EGN MEMBERSHIP TERMS AND CONDITIONS
A. Exclusive to Specified Member
I agree that membership of EGN and more specifically all EGN entities operating in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia, is a membership of the agreed peer group for me only as the specified member in the specified group and for the specified position representing the specific business or trade only for that specified group.
As an exclusive and valued member of EGN, I agree to follow and abide by the further terms and conditions of membership stated below: -
B. Obligation to Share Knowledge and Network with Members
I will only utilise the membership for knowledge sharing and networking with other members within my group or network.
I fully understand and accept that I am expected to reciprocally share my professional and business knowledge with the said EGN members – specifically in terms of not only my challenges, but also my perspectives, ideas, known or proven solutions, as well as success and failure stories, except for trade secrets or confidential information relating to my Company or business.
I understand and accept that I am expected to actively engage in meaningful and respectful discussion, in all formal and informal EGN meetings, networking sessions and activities.
C. Marketing and Sales Activities Strictly Prohibited
I understand and accept that sales and marketing activities are strictly prohibited and will result in termination of membership with prima facie proof of violation herein, upon written notice being given by EGN to the member unless the member clearly proves to EGN’s satisfaction within 7 days of receipt of such written notice that there was no violation herein whatsoever.
D. Acceptance of New Members, Change in Duties and Non-Transferability
Existing members of the peer group have veto rights regarding acceptance of new members into the peer group. This is to avoid main competitors, suppliers or other persons from joining any peer group which can cause or limit the open, honest and trustful dynamics, interactions and discussions in the peer group.
If there are any changes to the member’s job scope, duties or responsibilities or of the company represented by the member, then the continued membership of that member will have to be re-approved within the same peer group, or if that is not possible for any valid reason, then the member may be required to move to another peer group to avoid any or potential conflict of interest with the existing peer group.

H. Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Obligation
As the members of Executives' Global Network (EGN), I hereby acknowledge, accept and affirm to adhere to the following confidentiality and non-disclosure policy as part of my membership.
All information acquired, obtained, or received during EGN activities—including but not limited to meetings, interactions via Members Universe, summaries, or discussions—is deemed confidential.
Members shall not disclose, disseminate, or share this confidential information with any non-members or third parties except under the following conditions:
a) With prior written consent from the member who originally disclosed the information; or
b) With the prior written approval of the relevant peer group, chair of the peer group, or the Managing Director of EGN.
Violation of this policy will result in immediate termination of membership, upon written notice issued by EGN.
The duty to maintain confidentiality extends for a period of five (5) years from the date of cessation or termination of membership, regardless of the reason for cessation or termination.
I. Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition Obligation
I agree and accept that I shall not in any way solicit or attempt to solicit or directly or indirectly connect or communicate with any existing or potential customer or client of any member or of the member’s Company, except with the prior written consent of the member or of his Company, as the case maybe. I agree that I will not directly or indirectly induce or entice any member to cease or terminate his membership herein for any reason whatsoever.
I agree and accept that I shall not in any way compete or attempt to compete or directly or indirectly induce any member to compete or attempt to compete with EGN in terms of its business model and operations.
The duties and obligations of non-solicitation and non-competition shall survive for a period of five (5) years from the date of any cessation or termination of my membership with EGN, regardless of the reason(s) of cessation or termination thereof.
J. Non-Liability or Waiver of Liability of EGN
I agree and accept that there is no liability on the part of EGN and I further expressly waive any liability by EGN for the following matters -
Personal or Work Restrictions or Illness due to Covid-19, Its Variants or Mutants
I agree and accept that COVID-19 has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization in 2020. COVID-19 (which terms includes its variants or mutants, whether existing or otherwise) is infectious and spreads easily from person-to-person if proper safe management measures (“SMM”) are not taken. People can be infected and show no symptoms and thus can still spread the disease. There is no known treatment, cure though various vaccines are now available for COVID-19. It is common knowledge, with empirical evidence that COVID-19 can cause serious or even potentially life-threatening illness and even death.
Subject to proper prevailing mandatory SMM being taken by EGN, however EGN cannot prevent you from becoming exposed to, contracting, or spreading COVID-19 while engaging EGN’s services or utilising any premises for EGN meetings or events. Where the premises are owned, managed or occupied by a third party, EGN shall take reasonable steps to ensure that the third party has complied with prevailing mandatory SMM, although EGN will not be liable for any breach of SMM by the third party if EGN did not reasonably know nor could EGN have reasonably known of any such breach by the third party.
Assumption of Risk: I have read and clearly understood the above notice regarding COVID-19. I hereby voluntarily choose to accept that there is always a risk of contracting COVID-19 for myself while utilising EGN’s services or premises or while interacting with other members during EGN events or EGN-related events, even if EGN has reasonably complied with all prevailing mandatory SMM. These services and EGN interactions and events are of such an important value to me that I accept the risk of being exposed to, contracting, and/or spreading COVID-19 (even where prevailing mandatory SMM are in place) in order to utilize EGN’s services and premises in person, instead of arranging for an alternative method of enjoying the same services virtually (e.g. via videoconference) where such alternative method is available, whether free, at extra cost or otherwise.
I shall also ensure that I fully comply with all prevailing mandatory SMM measures at all times and shall comply with all precautionary measures and guidelines that EGN, its partners or affiliates may, in their sole discretion, impose or require from time to time for any event, activity or interaction.
Waiver of Liability: I hereby unconditionally waive my right to bring any claim or suit against EGN or its owners, shareholders, officers, directors, managers, officials, trustees, agents, employees, or any other representatives or agents, arising from or in connection with any or potential exposure, infection, and/or spread of COVID-19 due to my use of EGN’s services and premises at any time. I clearly and fully appreciate, accept and understand that this waiver of liability means I give up any right that I may have to bring any claim or suit against EGN, whether for any personal injury, disease, death, personal, business or property loss, or for any other loss whatsoever, including but not limited to loss arising from any negligence and I thus fully waive any right or claim I may have to seek against EGN any damages, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen.
Acting Professionally at All Times and Dealings Between Members
I am aware and fully accept that EGN is a firm and unflinching supporter of diversity and inclusion. I agree to act professionally, with utmost integrity and honesty in all my dealings, interactions and discussions with EGN, its members or any third party (whether from Singapore or elsewhere), insofar as my dealings, interactions and discussions arise out of my membership herein. I shall also observe high personal and professional standards so as to reflect the international image, reputation and standing of EGN and EGN. For clarity and avoidance of doubt, behaviour that is not professional and not acceptable includes but is not limited to misogyny, religious or cultural racism, gender, age or political discrimination, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia and any socially-unacceptable prejudice, bias, discrimination or differentiation.
I further agree and accept that EGN shall not be liable in any way for any claim, loss or damages incurred as a result of any of my dealings, interactions and discussions with any EGN member or relevant any third party at any time.
K. Consent to Photographic, Audio and Video Recording and Media Release
By participating in any EGN activities, I agree and consent to EGN exclusive and perpetual, irrevocable and royalty-free use of any of my photographs, videos, voice, likeness or images in (a) any print, digital or online pre- or post-event publicity, marketing, media posts or broadcasts of any EGN event to be attended or actually attended by me (whether in person physically, via video-conferencing, live or recorded events, seminars, business group discussions, webinars, podcasts, press conferences, media releases or online in any form) and (b) in subsequent productions drawn from official photographic, video, audio or digital recordings or authorised reproductions of any such EGN events, in any form, format or storage whatsoever, whether physical, online or digital.
The said photographs and recordings may be modified or reproduced wholly or partially in EGN ‘s sole discretion, for the purposes of being published or broadcasted in the official EGN and its affiliates’ publications, marketing or publicity materials, including the EGN and affiliates’ websites, any social media, online or digital platform. All photographs, recordings, articles, quotes, films, audio or video and/or any reproductions of the same in any form or format whatsoever, are perpetually and irrevocably the sole and exclusive property of EGN. EGN may in its sole discretion, wholly or partially transfer or assign the rights herein, provided the transferee or assignee agrees to use the same solely for the purposes herein.
For clarity, EGN, its affiliates, employees, representatives and agents are fully and perpetually released from any and all claims, demands, costs, damages or liability whatsoever (whether in law, contract, tort or equity) that may arise from EGN’s or its affiliates use of these photographs, recordings, articles, quotes, films, audio or video and/or any reproductions of same in any form, as described above, whether the same arises out of me being interviewed, recorded, photographed, videotaped or filmed in any form whatsoever.
L. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction
The laws of Singapore shall generally govern these Terms and Conditions.
For EGN entities operating in Malaysia and Indonesia, the applicable local laws of those respective jurisdictions shall supplement Singapore law where necessary. In case of any conflict between Singapore law and local laws, Singapore law shall take precedence.
Any disagreements or disputes arising out of or related to these Terms and Conditions shall be initially subject to mediation. If mediation is unsuccessful, the matter shall be referred to the Courts of Singapore for adjudication, litigation, or determination. For EGN entities in Malaysia and Indonesia, local dispute resolution mechanisms may be employed in conjunction with or as a supplement to Singaporean processes, as appropriate.
M. Comprehensive Policy Scope
Terms and Conditions specified herein are applicable to all EGN entities operating in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
These Terms and Conditions encapsulate the full scope of the policy governing interactions and engagements between EGN and its members. No other previous or concurrent discussions, negotiations, or representations, whether oral or written, shall modify or supplement these Terms and Conditions unless explicitly updated by EGN.
Any changes or amendments to this policy will be documented in writing and will be made public through appropriate channels, including but not limited to, updates on this website.
