Terms & Conditions

Last updated: July 2026

1. About These Terms

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern the use of this website and the provision of consulting, advisory, mentoring and related services (the "Services") by Polina Krasikova, operating as an independent fractional Business Development & Sales Partner ("Consultant", "I", "me"). By submitting an inquiry through this website or engaging the Consultant's Services, you ("Client") agree to be bound by these Terms.

2. Services

The Consultant provides commercial advisory and sales-related services, including but not limited to: GTM & Commercial Strategy Sessions, Commercial & Sales Audits, Sales Enablement & Fractional Leadership, Sales Leadership Mentoring, and Sales & Go-to-Market Consultations, as described on this website. The specific scope, deliverables, timeline and fee for any engagement will be confirmed in writing (email or a signed proposal/agreement) before work begins.

3. Bookings & Payment

Prices listed on this website are quoted in AED and are indicative; final pricing for custom-scope engagements will be confirmed prior to commencement.
Payment terms (including any deposit, milestone or monthly-retainer schedule) will be agreed in writing for each engagement.
Invoices are due within the period stated on the invoice, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Late payment may result in a pause of Services.
Where the Consultant is VAT-registered, applicable UAE VAT will be added to invoices in accordance with Federal Decree-Law No. 8 of 2017 on Value Added Tax, and invoices will include the Consultant's Tax Registration Number (TRN) where required.

4. Cancellations & Rescheduling

Sessions and consultations may be rescheduled with at least 24 hours' notice. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed sessions without notice, may be charged in full at the Consultant's discretion. For multi-session programmes and retainer engagements, cancellation terms will be set out in the specific engagement agreement.

5. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep confidential any non-public business, financial, strategic or customer information shared in the course of the engagement, and to use such information solely for the purpose of delivering or receiving the Services. This obligation survives the end of the engagement.

6. Intellectual Property

Frameworks, templates, methodologies and materials developed or used by the Consultant remain the Consultant's intellectual property unless otherwise agreed in writing. The Client receives a non-exclusive right to use any deliverables provided for its own internal business purposes.

7. No Guarantee of Results

The Consultant provides expertise, strategic guidance and hands-on execution support based on professional experience. While every effort is made to help the Client achieve its commercial goals, the Consultant does not guarantee specific revenue, sales or business outcomes, as these depend on factors outside the Consultant's control, including market conditions and the Client's own execution.

8. Independent Contractor

The Consultant provides Services as an independent contractor / fractional partner, not as an employee, partner, joint venturer or agent of the Client. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment relationship between the Consultant and the Client or the Client's customers, vendors or partners.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Consultant's total liability arising out of or relating to the Services shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client for the specific engagement giving rise to the claim. The Consultant shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages, including loss of profits or business opportunity. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, or gross negligence, or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under UAE law.

10. Website Use & Privacy

This section explains how personal data is handled in accordance with UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data ("PDPL").

Data controller: Polina Krasikova is the controller of personal data collected through this website. Contact: info@polinakrasikova.com.
Data collected: name, email address, company name, phone number, service of interest, and any message details you submit through the contact form.
Purpose & legal basis: this data is processed to respond to your inquiry, schedule and deliver requested Services, and manage the resulting business relationship, on the basis of your consent (given by ticking the acceptance box) and, where an engagement proceeds, the performance of a contract.
Third parties: data is not sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes. It may be processed by service providers strictly involved in operating this website and email delivery (e.g. hosting and email infrastructure providers), acting on the Consultant's behalf.
Cross-border transfer: because website hosting and email services may be provided from servers located outside the UAE, your data may be transferred outside the UAE in the course of the above processing.
Retention: inquiry data is retained only for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and, if an engagement proceeds, for the duration of that engagement plus a reasonable period thereafter for legal and accounting purposes.
Your rights: under the PDPL you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, object to or restrict certain processing, and lodge a complaint with the UAE Data Office. To exercise any of these rights, email info@polinakrasikova.com.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC Courts), unless otherwise agreed in writing.

12. Changes to These Terms

These Terms may be updated from time to time; the version in effect at the time of a specific engagement agreement will govern that engagement.
