Trainer Empanelment

This agreement is between Craskills Learning and Development Solutions (“Craskills”) and the applicant (“Trainer”). It governs possible empanelment and engagement for learning and development assignments.

1. Nature and scope

Empanelment identifies an approved independent professional who may be considered for corporate training, management and leadership development, faculty development, technical, behavioural, AI and digital, employability, consulting, assessment, coaching, content-development and related assignments. It is not employment, partnership, agency or a guarantee of assignments, income or minimum work.

2. Assignment confirmation and fees

Preliminary discussions do not confirm an assignment. Each engagement may separately state the client, topic, audience, outcomes, date, duration, venue or mode, deliverables, fees, expenses and reporting. The Trainer must confirm availability. Fees, payment timelines, statutory deductions, GST documentation, travel, accommodation and cancellation terms are assignment-specific unless separately agreed in writing.

3. Professional standards

The Trainer will prepare adequately, deliver competently and punctually, use current and appropriate methods, treat participants respectfully and inclusively, follow reasonable site and safety rules, avoid harassment or discriminatory conduct, protect Craskills’ reputation, and not appoint a substitute without prior approval.

4. Content, customisation and intellectual property

Materials must be accurate and legally usable, and must not knowingly infringe copyright. Craskills-provided proprietary material remains Craskills property. The Trainer retains pre-existing proprietary content unless separately licensed or transferred. Commissioned work may have separate intellectual-property terms. Agreed customisation must reflect the client, participants, objectives and expected outcomes.

5. Confidentiality, privacy and client protection

Non-public client, participant, employee, business, needs-analysis, assessment, proposal, pricing, process and methodology information must remain confidential and be used only for the assignment. Participant data must not be used for unrelated marketing. The Trainer will not intentionally bypass Craskills on the same introduced opportunity, independently negotiate Craskills assignment terms, or disclose trainer remuneration, client pricing or Craskills margins without authorisation.

6. Quality, records and representation

Craskills may evaluate expertise, preparation, facilitation, engagement, communication, punctuality, customisation, learning effectiveness and feedback. Photography or recording is subject to applicable permissions. Empanelment does not authorise the Trainer to contract, quote, collect money, incur obligations or act as an employee on behalf of Craskills.

7. Conflicts, compliance and panel status

The Trainer will disclose material conflicts, comply with applicable Indian law and reasonable workplace, privacy, safety, intellectual-property and prevention-of-harassment requirements. Empanelment is normally non-exclusive. Craskills may suspend or discontinue it for poor performance, misrepresentation, misconduct, confidentiality or IP breach, unauthorised solicitation, repeated cancellation or material breach.

8. Term, termination and disputes

Initial empanelment ordinarily remains valid for two years and may be reviewed. Either party may discontinue it in writing. Confidentiality, intellectual-property and outstanding-payment duties survive where applicable. Disputes should first be addressed through good-faith discussion; the final executed agreement will specify applicable Indian law and jurisdiction.

9. Acceptance

By electronically signing, the applicant confirms that submitted information is accurate and supportable, these terms have been read and understood, professional standards are accepted, and neither application nor empanelment guarantees an assignment.
