4. The Deal Flow & Member Conduct

The GBWCCI platform facilitates business opportunities (tenders, deal flow, and partnerships). Members are expected to conduct all B2B interactions with the highest professional integrity. Spamming the network, engaging in predatory business practices, or violating the community Code of Conduct will result in permanent expulsion.
