Identify the contracting party
Record the legal company name, registration jurisdiction, proposed representative and role in the transaction. Clarify whether the party claims to be the owner, seller, mandate or intermediary.
Review the claimed relationship
Assess the documents and explanations supporting that role. Where appropriate, seek confirmation through independently established sources. List any ownership, authority or supply claims that remain unverified.
Disclose commercial relationships
If an introduction or referral relationship exists, it should be disclosed. Customers can then assess the scope and independence of the work with that context in view.
