Terms of Use
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Suave Private website and related public-facing content.
The website is operated by Suave Private (“Suave Private,” “Suave,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
These Terms govern website use. A separate written agreement, proposal, or engagement letter may govern services provided to a client. If a provision in a signed client agreement conflicts with these Terms, the client agreement will control with respect to the services covered by that agreement.
1. About Suave Private
Suave Private is a private procurement office that assists clients in identifying, evaluating, recommending, sourcing, and coordinating objects, specialists, services, and experiences.
Depending on the request and the applicable engagement, our work may include research, preliminary assessment, introductions, recommendations, procurement coordination, communication with third parties, and logistical assistance.
The precise scope of any engagement will depend on the agreement between Suave Private and the client.
Information on this website is intended to provide a general introduction to our firm. It does not constitute a promise that a particular service, item, specialist, or outcome will be available.
2. No Guarantee of Availability or Results
Certain goods, services, specialists, experiences, and opportunities may be scarce, subject to eligibility requirements, dependent on third-party approval, or unavailable altogether.
Although we may use reasonable efforts to investigate and pursue a request, Suave Private does not guarantee:
That a particular item, service, specialist, or experience can be located or secured.
That a third party will accept an inquiry, proposal, introduction, or engagement.
That a quoted price, delivery date, availability, or other commercial term will remain unchanged.
That a third party will perform within a particular timeframe or to a particular standard.
That a recommendation will produce a particular financial, commercial, practical, or personal result.
Any estimates, preliminary assessments, or expected timelines are subject to change unless expressly guaranteed in a written agreement signed by Suave Private.
3. Nature of Our Services
Suave Private provides procurement research, judgment, recommendations, introductions, and coordination services as agreed with the client.
Unless expressly agreed in writing, Suave Private does not act as the manufacturer, seller, owner, licensed operator, or guarantor of a third party's goods or services.
A recommendation or introduction does not mean that Suave Private owns, controls, employs, or supervises the recommended third party.
The scope of our responsibility will depend on the services we have expressly agreed to provide. For example, a limited research engagement may not include independent inspection, authentication, background checks, ongoing supervision, or management of a third party's performance.
Clients should not assume that a particular form of verification or oversight has occurred unless it has been expressly agreed or communicated.
4. Third-Party Providers and Independent Engagements
Our services may involve identifying or introducing independent specialists, vendors, service providers, sellers, advisers, or other third parties.
These third parties operate independently of Suave Private. Unless a separate written agreement expressly provides otherwise, they are responsible for their own services, products, representations, conduct, licensing, insurance, warranties, contractual commitments, and performance.
Before engaging a third party, clients should satisfy themselves that the provider is appropriate for the intended purpose. Depending on the circumstances, this may include reviewing the provider's credentials, references, insurance, contractual terms, pricing, warranties, and applicable licensing.
Any contract for goods or services supplied directly by a third party will generally be between the client and that third party, unless the parties expressly agree otherwise in writing.
Suave Private is not automatically a party to those third-party contracts and does not assume responsibility for obligations it has not expressly undertaken.
5. Procurement Disclaimer
Recommendations are not guarantees.
Suave Private endeavors to approach procurement requests with care, discretion, and sound judgment. However, recommendations and introductions involve decisions and services that may be outside our direct control.
Information supplied by third parties may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or subject to change. Unless expressly agreed in writing, Suave Private does not guarantee the accuracy of every third-party statement or independently verify every claim, credential, representation, or item.
The extent of any research, verification, inspection, authentication, due diligence, or other assessment will depend on the circumstances and the agreed scope of work.
Clients remain responsible for making their own informed decisions about whether to engage a recommended provider, purchase an item, or proceed with an opportunity.
Where appropriate, clients should obtain independent legal, tax, accounting, financial, technical, insurance, authentication, or other professional advice before proceeding.
6. Fees, Compensation, and Third-Party Relationships
Fees for Suave Private's services will be established in the applicable proposal, membership agreement, engagement letter, invoice, or other written arrangement.
Depending on the engagement, fees may include membership charges, fixed project fees, hourly fees, retainers, coordination fees, or other agreed compensation.
Unless otherwise specified in writing, third-party costs—including the purchase price of an item, specialist fees, shipping, transportation, insurance, taxes, duties, accommodation, and other external expenses—are separate from Suave Private's fees.
Suave Private may receive commissions, referral fees, or other compensation from third parties in connection with certain recommendations, introductions, purchases, or engagements. We may also compensate third parties for referrals or introductions. Any disclosures required by law or applicable agreement will be made.
Clients should not assume that a recommendation is free of financial relationships unless that has been confirmed.
No website visitor becomes a paying client or member simply by using this website. Any paid engagement is subject to its own applicable terms and payment arrangements.
7. No Professional Advice
Unless expressly authorized and agreed in writing, Suave Private does not provide legal, tax, accounting, investment, medical, engineering, architectural, insurance, or other regulated professional advice.
Our research, recommendations, and coordination services are not a substitute for advice from an appropriately qualified professional.
Where a procurement request involves specialized or regulated matters, clients are responsible for obtaining the professional advice necessary for their circumstances.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Suave Private will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, business opportunities, anticipated savings, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of the website or reliance on its general content.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Suave Private will not be liable for loss or damage resulting from the acts, omissions, representations, products, services, or performance of independent third parties, except to the extent such loss or damage is caused by conduct for which Suave Private cannot lawfully exclude or limit liability.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability to the extent that such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law.
These website Terms do not replace or override any different liability provisions expressly agreed in a separate signed client agreement.
Important: This section is not a universal shield against claims. A lawyer should tailor it to your actual business structure, the nature of your engagements, and applicable state law.
9. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Suave Private and its owners, representatives, and service providers from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, and reasonable expenses arising directly from your unlawful use of the website, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person's rights.
This provision does not require you to indemnify Suave Private for losses to the extent caused by Suave Private's own conduct where such indemnification would be prohibited by law.
10. Website Content and Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise indicated, the website and its content—including text, branding, logos, graphics, design elements, and original materials—are owned by or used with permission by Suave Private and may be protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
You may view and use the website for personal, noncommercial purposes.

12. Third-Party Websites and Links
The website may contain links to third-party websites or refer to independent businesses and service providers.
These links and references are provided for convenience or informational purposes. They do not necessarily constitute an endorsement, guarantee, or representation regarding the third party.

We may also revise these Terms from time to time. Revised Terms will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
Changes will apply as permitted by applicable law. Where affirmative consent or additional notice is legally required, we will provide it.
15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms will be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, provided Pennsylvania is the appropriate jurisdiction for Suave Private's actual business operations and the applicable agreement.
Subject to mandatory law, disputes arising directly from these website Terms will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Pennsylvania, and the parties consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
A lawyer should confirm the appropriate governing law and venue before publication, particularly if your business is formed or operated in a different state.
16. Severability and Waiver
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the extent permitted by law.
A failure to enforce any provision will not constitute a waiver of the right to enforce that provision later.
17. Entire Agreement
These Terms govern your use of the website. They do not constitute a complete services agreement for a procurement engagement or private membership.
Any separate written agreement between Suave Private and a client will govern the specific services, fees, responsibilities, and other terms covered by that agreement.
