receive a limited, non-exclusive license to use deliverables for
internal business purposes as set forth in their engagement agreement.
Reproduction or commercialization without written consent is prohibited.
6. Advisory Services Disclaimer
Website use and form submissions do not create an advisor-client
relationship — this requires a signed engagement agreement. All
materials provided are for informational purposes only and do not
constitute legal, tax, financial, investment, or professional advice.
Clients should obtain independent professional advice before acting on
our analyses. AI and technology tools may be used to support our work;
users should independently verify outputs.

Cancellation and refund terms are governed by each engagement agreement.
Generally, fees for services already rendered are non-refundable;

once delivered. See our
Refund Policy
for details.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE WEBSITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF
ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE

ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, AND
REPRESENTATIVES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,

INCLUDING LOSS OF REVENUE, PROFITS, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, GOODWILL,
REPUTATION, DATA, OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS ARISING FROM THE USE OF THE

In no event shall our total aggregate liability exceed the fees actually
paid by the client for the specific services giving rise to the claim
during the preceding twelve (12) months.

13. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by Ontario law and the federal laws of Canada.
Disputes shall first be resolved through good-faith negotiation (30
days), after which either party may pursue resolution in Ontario courts,
which have exclusive jurisdiction. A written engagement agreement
prevails over these Terms in the event of conflict.
14. Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable for delays or failure to perform
obligations caused by events beyond reasonable control including natural
disasters, pandemics, government actions, cyber incidents,
telecommunications failures, labor disruptions, civil unrest, or acts of
God.
