The document, governed by Qatar law, includes essential provisions required by local legislation while incorporating international best practices in consulting arrangements. It covers key aspects such as service scope, exclusivity terms, compensation, intellectual property rights, confidentiality, and compliance with Qatar's commercial and civil laws.
