If the expert estimates that the time involved in the work may exceed the limit of the amount of work that can be provided free of charge (6 hours of expert time), a service contract will be signed with you, outlining the content of the consultation, the expected volume and the basis for pricing. The initial meeting will be limited to one hour and will not count as a free service.
While all EAS staff are bound by the obligation to keep company business secrets, a confidentiality agreement is also available to further protect your business secrets.
