Terms of use
Last updated 2026-07-14. By using Expert Source Index you agree to these terms.
Not investment, legal, or compliance advice
Expert Source Index provides buyer education about the expert-network and independent-consultant-marketplace category and notable real vendors in the space. It is not investment, legal, or compliance advice, creates no professional-client relationship, and does not guarantee that any vendor is qualified for your engagement. Always confirm compliance posture and suitability directly, and consult qualified professionals.
No endorsement or ranking
Listings, sponsorships, and outbound links are not endorsements or rankings. Paid placements are labeled and never affect editorial content or ordering.
Paid listings: billing, refunds, and cancellation
Featured ($149/yr) and Verified ($299/yr) are annual, prepaid listing subscriptions for vendor businesses, billed at the time of purchase and renewing annually unless cancelled. Free listings never require payment.
- Featured: set up within 1 business day of confirmed payment. If we have not set up your placement within 5 business days, you get a full refund.
- Verified: manually reviewed within 5 business days of confirmed payment. If we cannot verify your credentials, you get a full refund and the badge is not applied.
- Cancellation: you may cancel a paid listing at any time by emailing hello@expertsourceindex.com. Cancelling stops the next renewal; it does not refund the current paid period except where noted above.
- Renewal: we will email a renewal notice before any annual charge. Non-renewal simply reverts the listing to Free rather than removing it.
Sourcing requests
Submitting a sourcing request does not create any obligation. Any engagement with a vendor, and its terms, are agreed directly between you and that vendor. Do not submit confidential deal, portfolio, or client information, or material non-public information (MNPI) of any kind.
Third-party data
Vendor profiles describe real, publicly-documented companies using information gathered from their own public websites and other public sources, verified at the time of writing. That information remains the property of its respective owners and is provided without warranty.
Limitation of liability
The site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. KG LLC is not liable for decisions made in reliance on the information here.
