As a condition of accepting approved Funding, UWL may require the Representative, the donor, sponsor, grantor, or other funding source to execute one or more agreements, certifications, acknowledgements, compliance documents, indemnification agreements, source-of-funds declarations, or other documentation required by UWL.

The Representative agrees to cooperate fully in obtaining all required documentation and ensuring that all parties comply with these Terms and Conditions, applicable UWL policies, and the applicable funding agreement.

11.8. INSTITUTIONAL ADMINISTRATION AND PLATFORM SUPPORT FEE

UWL may assess an Institutional Administration and Platform Support Fee in connection with approved Funding administered by UWL.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, such fee shall be deducted from the approved Funding prior to disbursement.

The purpose of this fee is to support, among other things:

• financial administration;
• accounting and bookkeeping;
• banking and payment processing;
• governance and institutional oversight;
• legal and regulatory compliance;
• insurance;
• technology infrastructure;
• cybersecurity;
• communications;
• institutional administration;
• maintenance, enhancement, and continued development of the United World Leaders platform;

and

• enabling UWL to more effectively support, facilitate, expand, and strengthen the activities, collaboration, initiatives, and impact created by its Members, Councils, Initiatives, and the broader United World Leaders community.

The amount of any such fee shall be determined by UWL and, where applicable, reflected in the applicable funding agreement.

11.9. ADMINISTRATION AND DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDING

All approved Funding shall be deposited into financial accounts designated by UWL.

UWL shall serve as the fiscal administrator and steward of such Funding and shall administer and disburse it in accordance with:

(a) the applicable funding agreement;

(b) the approved purpose for which the Funding was provided;

(c) the donor’s, sponsor’s, or funding source’s approved restrictions, designations, or instructions, if any;

(d) applicable law;

(e) these Terms and Conditions; and (f) applicable UWL policies and procedures.

Where Funding is restricted, UWL shall administer and disburse such Funding only in accordance with the applicable funding agreement and the applicable restrictions or conditions established by the funding source.

Where the applicable funding agreement provides that the funding source retains approval rights regarding expenditures or disbursements, UWL shall administer and disburse the Funding in accordance with those approval procedures.

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable funding agreement, UWL shall generally make payments directly to approved vendors, contractors, service providers, venues, scholarship recipients, consultants, or other approved payees rather than to the Representative personally.

Where Funding is unrestricted, UWL shall administer and disburse such Funding in a manner consistent with UWL’s charitable mission, applicable law, these Terms and Conditions, and UWL policies.

The Representative shall cooperate fully with UWL in providing invoices, contracts, receipts, payment requests, certifications, reports, or any other documentation reasonably requested by UWL.

Nothing in this Section shall obligate UWL to make any payment that, in UWL’s reasonable judgment, would violate applicable law, the applicable funding agreement, UWL policies, or UWL’s mission and governance standards.

11.10. FINANCIAL OVERSIGHT

The Representative acknowledges that UWL’s administration of Funding is intended to ensure responsible stewardship, transparency, accountability, legal compliance, donor confidence, and protection of the Institution’s reputation and charitable mission.

Accordingly, the Representative agrees to cooperate fully with all reasonable requests made by UWL relating to financial oversight, reporting, compliance reviews, audits, documentation, or other governance matters associated with approved Funding.

11.11. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS

UWL may decline, suspend, return, refuse to administer, or terminate any proposed or accepted Funding whenever UWL reasonably determines that accepting or continuing to administer such Funding could expose UWL to legal, regulatory, financial, tax, ethical, operational, or reputational risk, or otherwise be inconsistent with UWL’s mission, governance standards, applicable law, these Terms and Conditions, or the applicable funding agreement.

The Representative acknowledges that UWL’s decisions regarding the acceptance, administration, and disbursement of Funding are made in furtherance of its fiduciary, governance, and institutional responsibilities and shall be final.

12. CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON- DISPARAGEMENT

The Representative shall not disclose confidential information relating to UWL or make defamatory statements regarding UWL.

13. ANNUAL AFFILIATION VALUE AND FEE WAIVER

The Representative acknowledges that individuals and organizations typically pay significant annual institutional fees to receive exposure, promotion, and the right to reference affiliation with global leadership institutions.

UWL hereby waives what would otherwise be a $1,000,000 annual fee for the exposure, promotion, and limited license to reference the UWL name and logo granted under this agreement when utilized under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

14. COMPLIANCE AND CONDUCT

The Representative represents that neither the Representative nor IC leadership or membership has a criminal record or pending criminal charges.

The Representative must notify UWL within one business day of any criminal proceedings, lawsuits, or reputational risks involving the IC or its leadership.

15. PROTECTION OF THE INSTITUTION AND ITS INTEGRITY

15.1. INSTITUTIONAL OVERSIGHT AND PLATFORM PROTECTION

The Representative acknowledges that the Initiative or Council (“IC”) operates within the institutional platform of United World Leaders and that UWL has a responsibility to preserve the integrity, reputation, mission, and effective functioning of the Institution and its ecosystem.

Accordingly, where UWL determines that such action is appropriate in the best interests of the Institution, UWL may, after considering the relevant circumstances, take such reasonable actions as it deems necessary, including, without limitation:

• removing an individual and/or entity from Membership or participation in the Institution or IC.
• Suspending or Terminating the IC;
• taking other reasonable measures necessary to protect the mission, reputation, governance, or effective operation of the IC or the Institution.

Such actions may be taken for reasons including, but not limited to:

• insufficient activity, engagement, or measurable impact by the IC over a reasonable period of time;
• violation of these Terms and Conditions, Institutional policies or other applicable rules and regulations;
• circumstances in which continued association with an individual or IC could reasonably be expected to create legal, reputational, operational, governance, or other concerns for the Institution;

Membership in and a leadership of an IC is a privilege and an institutional appointment made in furtherance of the mission of UWL. It does not create any ownership interest, franchise, vested right, or permanent entitlement to continue serving in such capacity.

15.2. INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW PROCESS

A Representative or other affected individual may submit a written request for internal review of an Institutional decision to the Institutional Review and Appeals Committee within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of the decision.

The Committee shall review the matter in accordance with procedures established by UWL and may affirm, modify, or reverse the decision where it determines that such action is appropriate. The decision of the Institutional Review and Appeals Committee shall constitute the final internal decision of United World Leaders and shall not be subject to any further internal appeal.

16. NON-COMPETING INITIATIVES

During the term of this Agreement and for five years following termination, the Representative shall not establish initiatives confusingly similar to or derived from the IC or the United World Leaders platform.

17. PAY THE OPPORTUNITY FORWARD, EMPOWER OTHERS, CREATE GREATER IMPACT AND LEGACY

The Representative acknowledges and understands that United World Leaders is a highly selective institution whose global community has been built largely through trusted introductions, peer endorsements, and recommendations from respected leaders who recognize individuals of exceptional integrity, capability, and commitment to creating meaningful positive impact.

Accordingly, the Representative acknowledges that an important aspect of participation in the United World Leaders Impact and Legacy Initiatives Program is contributing to the continued growth and long-term strength of the Institution by identifying and introducing other leaders who may be capable of creating significant impact through the United World Leaders platform.

While such introductions are not a condition of approval or continued participation, the Institution strongly encourages Representatives, as part of this application process now, as well as going forward, as opportunities reasonably arise, to nominate individuals whom they believe possess the character, expertise, credibility, vision, and leadership capacity to lead meaningful commercial, humanitarian, educational, scientific, environmental, public policy, social, or other impact-driven initiatives that are consistent with the mission and values of United World Leaders.

The Representative further acknowledges that recommending qualified leaders constitutes an important way of extending his or her own impact and legacy by empowering others to serve humanity. Such recommendations may provide nominated individuals with opportunities to engage influential stakeholders, develop impactful initiatives, build lasting partnerships, and create enduring positive change through the United World Leaders platform. Individuals introduced subsequent to trusted nominations are generally deeply appreciative of the confidence, trust, and support demonstrated by those who nominate them.

Where reasonably practicable, the Representative is encouraged to provide the Institution with relevant information regarding recommended individuals, including, where available:

• Full Name;
• Country of Residence;
• Email Address;
• Telephone Number;
• LinkedIn Profile or Professional Biography;
• Primary Area of Expertise or Focus; and
• Any other information the Representative believes may assist the Institution in evaluating the individual’s qualifications and potential contribution.

The Representative further acknowledges and understands that, while the submission of introductions or nominations is not a mandatory condition of approval or continued participation, the Institution regards the thoughtful endorsement and introductions of leaders as an important demonstration of the Representative’s commitment to the mission, values, and long-term growth of United World Leaders.

Accordingly, the number, quality, relevance, and resulting engagement of qualified individuals introduced by the Representative may be considered by the Institution, in its sole discretion, as one of many factors when evaluating applications, continuing participation, membership status, appointments, leadership roles, advancement within the Institution, eligibility for additional opportunities, invitations to participate in special ICs, committees, publications, events, and other programs, as well as any other present or future decisions relating to the Representative’s relationship with United World Leaders. The Representative acknowledges that helping identify and empower other exceptional leaders is viewed by the Institution as a meaningful contribution to its mission and an important way of amplifying both the Representative’s individual impact and the Institution’s collective global impact.

The Representative understands that all nominations, recommendations, and introductions shall be reviewed solely at the discretion of United World Leaders, and that the Institution shall have no obligation to invite, approve, admit, appoint, or otherwise engage any nominated individual.

By embracing this culture of paying opportunities forward, the Representative contributes to strengthening a global community of trusted leaders dedicated to advancing socioeconomic prosperity, cooperation, peace, and lasting positive impact for humanity.
