3. Service Engagement
3.1 Scope of Services
Services are provided according to specifications outlined in service descriptions, proposals, or statements of work. Scope, deliverables, timelines, and fees are defined before commencement of work. Any changes to agreed scope require mutual written consent.
3.2 Client Responsibilities
Clients agree to provide timely access to systems, documentation, personnel, and information reasonably necessary for service delivery. Client cooperation and information accuracy significantly impact service quality and timeline. Delays caused by Client unavailability or incomplete information may extend engagement timelines.
3.3 Professional Standards
Services are performed in accordance with professional standards applicable to AI security consulting. While we apply expertise and care, recommendations represent professional judgment based on information available at time of assessment. Implementation of recommendations remains Client's responsibility and decision.
4. Payment Terms

Service fees are stated in Singapore Dollars (SGD) and specified in service agreements or proposals. Fees are exclusive of applicable taxes unless otherwise stated. Clients are responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, or levies.

Payment terms are specified in service agreements. Typical arrangements include upfront deposits for assessments or milestone-based payments for longer engagements. Invoices are due within 30 days of issue unless alternative terms are agreed in writing.
4.3 Late Payment
Late payments may incur interest charges at a rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower. We reserve the right to suspend services for accounts with overdue balances.
4.4 Price Changes
Fees for ongoing or future services may change with 30 days written notice. Fee changes do not apply to services already contracted and paid for.

Methodologies, frameworks, tools, templates, and general knowledge used in service delivery remain Company's intellectual property. This includes assessment frameworks, risk taxonomies, and procedural documentation developed by the Company.
6.2 Deliverables
Upon full payment, Client receives license to use deliverables created specifically for them for internal business purposes. This does not include rights to Company methodologies or tools used in creating deliverables.
6.3 Client Materials
Client retains all rights to materials, data, and information provided to Company for service delivery. Company receives limited license to use such materials solely for providing Services to Client.
7. Confidentiality
Both parties agree to maintain confidentiality of information disclosed during engagements. Company implements appropriate safeguards for Client information including access controls, secure storage, and confidentiality obligations for personnel. Confidential Information may be disclosed only as required by law or with prior written consent.
Confidentiality obligations survive engagement termination for a period of 5 years unless information becomes publicly available through no fault of receiving party.
8. Disclaimers and Limitations
8.1 Service Provision
Services are provided on an "as is" basis. While we apply professional expertise and care, we make no guarantees regarding specific outcomes, security breach prevention, or elimination of all vulnerabilities. AI security involves assessment of complex systems where complete elimination of risk is not possible.
8.2 Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Company's total liability for any claims arising from services shall not exceed the fees paid by Client for the specific service giving rise to the claim. This limitation applies regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise.

9.2 Termination for Convenience
Client may terminate services for convenience with 30 days written notice. Client remains liable for fees for work performed through termination date plus reasonable wind-down costs.
9.3 Effects of Termination
Upon termination, Company will deliver all completed work product. Client shall pay all outstanding fees for services rendered. Confidentiality obligations, intellectual property rights, limitation of liability, and dispute resolution provisions survive termination.
10. Dispute Resolution
10.1 Informal Resolution
Parties agree to attempt good faith informal resolution of disputes before pursuing formal proceedings. Initial dispute notice should be sent in writing describing the issue and proposed resolution.

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, remaining provisions continue in full force and effect. Invalid provisions shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make them enforceable while preserving intent.
11.3 Waiver
Failure to enforce any right or provision does not constitute waiver of that right or provision. Waivers must be in writing to be effective and apply only to specific instances, not future situations.
11.4 Assignment
Client may not assign rights or obligations under these Terms without prior written consent. Company may assign these Terms in connection with merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all assets with notice to Client.
