Current India/UAEpages explicitly offer legal-employer EOR and own regional entities. Group office/client counts are not a confirmed EOR-country list; upgrade from initial light inventory to focused multi-country research.

Review evidence
Eight Trustburn accounts are generic positive business-service comments with no visible dates, author identities, individual ratings or EORcountries; company data marked unverified.

These sources do not yield an independent EOR service-quality measure or validate marketing retention/performance claims.

Terms exclusion
All six pages of Acclime corporate general terms CSGTC-V2/2025(1)-06 were visually read after automated text extraction failed.

Corporate-services liability caps, payment/termination/non-solicitation clauses therefore cannot be attributed to an EOR contract. EOR-specific terms, liability/IP, transfer rights and notice commitments remain unavailable.
