§ 16.01Counterparty framework

Confidentiality & commission protection.

NDA

Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement

Executed at the beginning of every engagement. Buyer identity, seller identity, deal terms, and commercial data are held in strict confidence for the duration of the engagement and beyond.

NCND

Non-Circumvention, Non-Disclosure

Protects all introduced parties for the life of the relationship and any resulting transactions. Circumvention around the introducing party is contractually barred.

IMFPA

Irrevocable Master Fee Protection Agreement

Registers and secures the commission entitlements of every party in the deal chain — including consultants in our network — from the moment a qualified lead is submitted to the desk.

SPA

Sale & Purchase Agreement

The commercial contract between principals. Covers Incoterms 2020, inspection regime, payment mechanism, delivery schedule, tolerances, force majeure, and governing law. Executed only after all protective documentation is registered.

§ 16.02Documentary standards

The framework we work under.

UCP 600

Uniform Customs & Practice

All documentary letters of credit are issued under the ICC's UCP 600 (Publication 600). Instrument text is reviewed against ISBP 821 before opening to ensure banks will honour on presentation.

Incoterms 2020

ICC Trade Terms

All commercial terms referenced and interpreted under the current ICC Incoterms 2020 rules. Full range supported: EXW, FCA, FOB, CFR, CIF, CPT, CIP, DAP, DPU, DDP.

Inspection

Independent third-party inspection

Inspection at loading (SGS, Cotecna, Intertek, or Bureau Veritas) is available on every shipment and is standard on bulk-vessel commodity lots. Quality and quantity certificates are part of the documentary set.

Banking

Banking partners

All instrument facilitation is conducted through top-tier international banking partners across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Instrument text is negotiated between issuing, advising, and confirming banks before contract signature to ensure the payment mechanism is workable end-to-end.

Vanguard Trade Capital does not issue banking instruments in its own name. Our role is to structure the transaction, coordinate the parties, and facilitate authentic SWIFT delivery through their nominated financial institutions. The company is UAE Corporate Tax registered and holds licensed activity permissions for Commercial Brokerage, Commission Agency, Goods Wholesaling, and Management Consultancy.
