Terms of Service

Aisha Usman provides professional advisory and trade support services: strategy consultations, supplier research and verification, sourcing and procurement coordination, agricultural commodity buyer representation, and import and export business plan development. The service is advisory and coordinative in nature. It is not legal advice, tax advice, financial or investment advice, customs brokerage, or a regulated financial service.

Strategic advisory is delivered personally by Aisha Usman. Sourcing, export coordination and transaction execution are carried out through ASMAN Prime Hub Global Services Limited.

Fees are charged for professional time, judgement and work product — not for a result. Nothing on this website or in any engagement is a guarantee that:

• A suitable supplier, manufacturer or buyer will be found.
• A transaction, contract or shipment will be completed.
• Financing, credit, funding or investment will be obtained.
• A particular price, margin, lead time or profit will be achieved.
• A licence, certification or regulatory approval will be granted.
• A business plan will result in funding, approval or commercial success.

Where a project is assessed as not commercially feasible, that finding is itself part of the work delivered and is communicated honestly.

• Provide accurate, complete and lawful information and documents.
• Tell the consultant promptly if your requirements, budget or timeline change.
• Make your own final commercial, legal, financial and tax decisions, taking independent professional advice where appropriate.
• Satisfy yourself before transferring funds to any supplier, buyer or third party. Payments to third parties are made at your own discretion and risk.
• Comply with the import, export, sanctions and licensing rules that apply to you.

Recommendations are based on the information you supply. Incomplete or inaccurate information will affect the quality and usefulness of the outcome.

Each engagement has a defined scope. For consultations, the scope is the questionnaire review, the 60-minute session and the written action summary. For done-for-you services, the scope is set out in the written proposal issued after your discovery fee has been verified.

Unless expressly included in your written proposal, the following are charged separately:

• Supplier sourcing beyond the agreed number of suppliers or product lines.
• Extended market research, competitor analysis or feasibility studies.
• Costing models, landed-cost build-ups and pricing analysis.
• Negotiation on your behalf and ongoing supplier management.
• Document preparation, contract drafting support and compliance paperwork.
• Logistics coordination, inspection arrangement and transaction execution.
• Pitch decks, financial models or additional revisions beyond those agreed.

Professional fees never include third-party costs: the cost of goods, freight, insurance, inspections, laboratory testing, customs duties, taxes, certifications, registration or licensing fees.

Fees, discovery fees, refund treatment, rescheduling and verification are set out in the Payment, Refund, Rescheduling and Cancellation Policy, which forms part of these terms. Payments are verified manually. No session is scheduled and no project work begins before verification.

Information and documents you share are treated as confidential and are used only to assess and deliver your requested service. Client identities are not disclosed in case studies or published material. Where a project requires contact with a supplier, buyer or service provider, only the details needed for that step are shared.

You agree to treat proposals, supplier information, pricing and other material provided to you as confidential, and not to disclose it to competitors or to use it to bypass the engagement.

Business plans, written recommendations, proposals, research summaries, templates and other deliverables are prepared for your business and for your internal use. On full payment of the agreed fee, you may use them freely for your own business purposes. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, underlying methodologies, frameworks, templates and know-how remain the property of the consultant, and deliverables may not be resold, republished or distributed as a commercial product.

Website content, text and design remain the property of their owner.

You agree not to use this website or its forms to:

• Submit false, fraudulent or misleading information, or forged payment evidence.
• Upload malicious files or attempt to interfere with the website or its email delivery.
• Send automated, bulk or repeated submissions.
• Pursue any unlawful activity, including sanctioned, restricted or prohibited goods.
• Harvest content or contact details for marketing purposes.

Submissions that appear automated, duplicated or fraudulent may be rejected without notice, and an engagement may be declined or terminated where misuse is identified.

Services are provided with reasonable professional care and skill. To the extent permitted by law, liability for any single engagement is limited to the fees you actually paid for that engagement, and does not extend to indirect or consequential losses such as lost profit, lost opportunity, or losses arising from the acts, defaults or insolvency of a supplier, buyer, carrier or other third party. Nothing in these terms limits liability where it cannot lawfully be limited, including for fraud.

Either party may end an engagement in writing. Work properly performed up to that point, and any discovery fee already applied to completed assessment work, remains payable. The Payment Policy governs what is refundable.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, where the consultant is based and registered. The parties will first attempt to resolve any dispute in good faith through direct discussion. Where an engagement involves a written proposal or contract that specifies a different governing law or dispute procedure, that document takes precedence for that engagement.

These terms may be updated from time to time. The version published on this page at the time you submit a form is the version that applies to that submission.
