BRQ+ Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern access to and use of the BRQ+ website, member portal and related tools. They apply alongside the BRQ+ Privacy Policy, the BRQ+ Membership Agreement where you are a member, and any separate terms for a Program or Engagement.

1. About BRQ+

The Platform is provided by BRQ Plus Sdn Bhd (Company Reg. 202601006582 (1668680-A)), a company incorporated in Malaysia ("BRQ+", "we", "us").

• Platform means the BRQ+ website, member portal and related tools.
• Member means an approved Personal Member, Corporate Member or Company User.
• Program includes The Collective @ BRQ+ and any other program BRQ+ runs or supports.
• Engagement means an advisory mandate, mission, project, placement, mentoring arrangement or other work arranged through BRQ+ or a Program.

2. Acceptance and eligibility

By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms. If you use the Platform for a company or organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to act for it.

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding agreement. Membership is invitation-only and begins only after BRQ+ approves the application and the Membership Agreement is accepted. BRQ+ may decline an application without giving reasons.

3. Accounts and accurate information

You must provide accurate information and keep it current. Your login is for you alone. Do not share credentials or allow another person to use your account. Tell BRQ+ promptly if you believe your account or information has been misused.

Corporate Members are responsible for their Company Users and must remove access when a Company User leaves the company or no longer needs it. Seat limits follow the selected Corporate membership plan.

4. Membership plans, fees and payment

Current membership plans, prices and billing periods are shown before application or purchase. Prices are in United States Dollars (USD) and any applicable SST is shown on the invoice.

You may pay an issued invoice as a one-off payment or start an auto-renewing subscription where offered. A subscription renews for the selected monthly or annual billing period until cancellation. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period. Upgrades may take effect immediately with a pro-rated charge; downgrades take effect at the next renewal. If a renewal payment fails, BRQ+ may provide a 30-day grace period before membership lapses.

Bank-transfer payments become effective after BRQ+ records them as paid. Engagement fees, honoraria, sponsorships and other project charges are agreed separately for each Engagement or Program.

5. Acceptable use

You must use the Platform lawfully, professionally and respectfully. You must not:

1. harass, discriminate against, threaten or abuse another person;
2. misrepresent your identity, authority, experience, credentials or results;
3. scrape or download directory data in bulk, spam members, or use member details for unsolicited marketing;
4. attempt to bypass security, access another person's account, disrupt the Platform, or introduce malicious code;
5. upload or share unlawful, misleading, infringing or harmful material;
6. use BRQ+'s name or logo, speak for BRQ+, or present yourself as its employee or agent without written permission; or
7. offer, give or accept bribes, kickbacks or improper gifts, or use the Platform in breach of applicable anti-corruption, anti-money-laundering, sanctions or competition laws.

Members must also follow the Code of Conduct, confidentiality duties and other obligations in the Membership Agreement.

6. Member content and intellectual property

You keep ownership of information and materials you submit. You give BRQ+ permission to host, display and process them only as needed to operate the Platform, administer membership, and deliver Programs and Engagements.

BRQ+ owns the Platform, its content, design, software, name and logo, except for material owned by members or third parties. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, republish or commercially exploit the Platform except as these Terms or law allow.

Ownership of work created for an Engagement is determined by that Engagement's written terms.

7. Privacy and confidentiality

BRQ+ handles personal data as described in the BRQ+ Privacy Policy. Platform activity may be logged to protect accounts, prevent misuse and meet legal or audit obligations.

Non-public information obtained through BRQ+, including member directory details, project briefs, mission documents and portal conversations, must be used only for the purpose for which it was shared and protected with reasonable care. Members may also be required to sign the Membership Agreement, a BRQ+ Engagement NDA or a client's own agreement. Where multiple confidentiality terms apply, the stricter terms apply to that Engagement.

8. Programs, Engagements and third parties

BRQ+ connects and coordinates members, clients, partners and program participants. Unless BRQ+ is itself a party to an Engagement, BRQ+ is not responsible for another party's work, payment, statements or conduct.

Each Engagement may have its own scope, fees, deliverables, timetable and legal terms. Those specific terms govern that Engagement if they conflict with these Terms, except that the Platform rules in section 5 continue to apply.

The Platform may link to or use third-party services for authentication, payment, communications or other functions. Those services may have their own terms and privacy notices.

9. Availability and changes to the Platform

BRQ+ may maintain, update, suspend or change parts of the Platform. We aim to keep it available and secure but do not promise uninterrupted or error-free access. We may change features where reasonably needed for security, legal compliance or service improvement.

10. Suspension and termination

BRQ+ may suspend or end access if you breach these Terms or another BRQ+ agreement, provide false information, fail to pay amounts due, misuse the Platform, or create a material risk to BRQ+, its members or partners. Where reasonable, BRQ+ will give you an opportunity to respond. Serious security, confidentiality or conduct breaches may result in immediate suspension.

You may stop using the Platform and, where applicable, end membership through the account process or by written notice. Subscription cancellation and access continue as described in section 4. Terms that by their nature should continue—including confidentiality, intellectual property, payment obligations, liability and dispute provisions—survive termination.

11. Disclaimers and liability

The Platform and general information on it are provided on an "as available" basis. Recommendations, directory profiles, AI-assisted plan guidance and general content are informational and do not replace professional legal, financial, tax or Shariah advice. You remain responsible for decisions you make and for checking whether another party is suitable for an Engagement.

To the extent the law allows, BRQ+ is not liable for indirect or consequential loss. BRQ+'s total liability arising from these Terms is capped at the membership fees you paid in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing excludes liability for fraud or any liability that the law does not allow to be excluded or limited.

12. Changes to these Terms

BRQ+ may update these Terms. Material changes will be notified at least 30 days before they take effect by email or through the Platform where practicable. The current version and effective date will be posted on this page. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.

13. Governing law and disputes

Malaysian law governs these Terms. The parties will first try in good faith to resolve a dispute within 30 days. Unresolved disputes go to the courts of Kuala Lumpur.

If any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the remaining parts continue. Delay in enforcing a right does not waive it. You may not transfer your account or rights under these Terms without BRQ+'s written agreement.
