Legal & Compliance at HCT Group
At HCT Group, we are unequivocally committed to upholding the highest standards of legal and ethical conduct across all our operations. Our dedication to transparency, strict compliance, and responsible business practices forms the fundamental cornerstone of our mission and our relationships with global partners and customers.
Our Commitment to Global Compliance
HCT Group, incorporated in the UAE in 2021, operates with unwavering adherence to all applicable international and local laws and regulations. We maintain particular vigilance in complying with all relevant sanctions, export controls, and embargoes issued by global authorities, including, but not limited to, those of the United States like OFAC regulations, the European Union, the United Nations, and the pertinent authorities within the United Arab Emirates.
This comprehensive commitment translates into the following key undertakings:
Our Commitment to Compliance
At HCT Group, we are firmly committed to upholding all applicable international sanctions and embargo regulations. Since our establishment in 2021, we have maintained a strict policy of not engaging—either directly or indirectly—in any business activities involving sanctioned or embargoed countries, entities, or individuals. This includes the provision of goods or services, financial transactions, and the transfer of technology.
We also affirm that any activities prior to HCT Group’s official incorporation fall entirely outside the scope of our operations and responsibilities. Compliance, integrity, and global accountability remain at the core of everything we do.
Responsible Equipment Use & Export Control Adherence
HCT Group fully accepts legal responsibility for the lawful use, deployment, and operation of any equipment received from our partners and suppliers. All such equipment shall be utilized solely for civil and lawful purposes, by legitimate end-users only, and in strict accordance with all relevant laws and regulations.
We further undertake that HCT Group will not transfer, re-export, resell, or otherwise provide any equipment received from our partners or suppliers (or any derivative thereof) to any party, individual, entity, or jurisdiction in violation of any applicable export laws, regulations, or licensing requirements.
End-User Undertaking (EUU) Commitment
HCT Group is committed to transparency and regulatory compliance in all our operations. Where reasonably and lawfully requested by our partners or as required for specific transactions, we will provide formal End-User Undertakings (EUUs) for each applicable shipment or resale. These undertakings are issued with consistency and care, and will always include:
- Clear identification of the final user.
- Unequivocal confirmation of non-military use.
- Reaffirmation of full compliance with all applicable export laws and regulations.
- Issuance of a formal EUU for any resale scenario, particularly in the case of stock-based purchases.
