1. Scope of services

We provide strategic consulting and advisory services in areas such as business building, manufacturing scale-up, media credibility, international market entry, and exit readiness. The specific scope of any engagement will be agreed in writing, such as in a proposal, statement of work, or engagement letter.

2. No guarantee of results

Consulting services involve judgment and depend on factors outside our control, including market conditions and client execution. We do not guarantee any specific business result, valuation, exit, investment return, fundraising outcome, or buyer interest. Any examples, track records, or case studies are illustrative and not a promise of future results.

3. Fees and payment

Fees, payment terms, and any expenses will be agreed in writing before or at the start of an engagement. Invoices are payable within [e.g., 14 or 30 days] unless otherwise agreed. We may suspend services if invoices remain unpaid.

4. Client obligations

You agree to provide accurate information, timely feedback, and reasonable access to relevant people and materials. You remain responsible for your business decisions and for implementing any recommendations.

5. Confidentiality

We will treat non-public information you share with us as confidential and use it only for the purpose of the engagement. We may disclose information where required by law or with your consent. Confidentiality obligations may survive the end of the engagement.

6. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, we retain ownership of our methods, frameworks, templates, and materials. You receive a non-exclusive right to use deliverables for your internal business purposes. You may not resell or redistribute our materials without written permission.

7. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our liability for any claim arising from or related to the services is limited to the fees paid for the specific engagement giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost opportunities, or loss of data. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under Dutch law.

8. Cancellation and rescheduling

Cancellation and rescheduling terms for meetings, workshops, or engagements will be agreed in writing. If no specific terms are agreed, reasonable notice is required. Fees for work already performed remain payable.

9. Third-party services

We may refer to or use third-party tools, providers, or advisers. We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, or performance of third parties.

10. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of the Netherlands. Disputes will be submitted to the competent court in the Netherlands, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

11. Changes

We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. The version published on this page applies to use of the website. For active engagements, the terms agreed in the engagement documents apply.
