By accessing and using the services provided by Ardynox Consulting LLP ("the Company," "we," "our," or "us"), you ("Client," "you," or "your") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use our services. These Terms constitute a binding agreement between you and Ardynox Consulting LLP.
Ardynox Consulting LLP provides strategic risk management consulting services designed to assist Canadian organizations in identifying, assessing, and mitigating organizational, operational, and strategic risks. Our services include risk analysis, advisory consulting, risk assessment, strategic planning support, and related professional services as outlined in our service agreements.
All services shall be governed by a separate written service agreement between the Client and Ardynox Consulting LLP. These Terms of Service, combined with the specific service agreement, constitute the entire agreement regarding the services provided. In the event of conflict between these Terms and a service agreement, the service agreement shall prevail.
4.1 Fee Structure. Fees for services shall be as specified in the applicable service agreement and may include fixed fees, hourly rates, project-based fees, or a combination thereof.
4.2 Invoicing. The Company will issue invoices according to the schedule specified in your service agreement. All invoices are due within thirty (30) days of receipt unless otherwise agreed in writing.
4.3 Payment Terms. Payments must be made in Canadian dollars via bank transfer, credit card, or other agreed-upon method. Late payments may incur interest at the rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower.
4.4 Expenses. The Client shall reimburse the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing services, including travel, materials, and third-party research costs, unless otherwise specified in the service agreement.
5.1 Company Materials. All methodologies, frameworks, tools, templates, processes, and pre-existing materials developed by Ardynox Consulting LLP prior to or independently of this engagement remain the exclusive property of the Company and may be used across multiple clients.
5.2 Work Product. Reports, analyses, recommendations, and other deliverables prepared specifically for the Client ("Work Product") shall be owned jointly, with the Client receiving a non-exclusive license to use such Work Product for its internal business purposes only.
5.3 Restrictions. The Client may not reproduce, distribute, display, or create derivative works from the Work Product without the Company's prior written consent, except as necessary for internal use within the Client organization.
6.1 Confidential Information. Both parties agree to maintain strict confidentiality regarding sensitive information shared during the engagement, including but not limited to business strategies, financial data, operational details, and risk assessments.
6.2 Exceptions. Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that: (a) is publicly available through no breach of these Terms; (b) was known prior to disclosure; (c) is independently developed; or (d) must be disclosed to comply with law or regulatory requirements.
6.3 Duration. Confidentiality obligations shall survive termination of the engagement for a period of three (3) years, except where law requires longer protection.
7.1 Disclaimer. Ardynox Consulting LLP provides services on an "as-is" basis. While we exercise professional judgment, we do not guarantee specific outcomes or results. Risk management is inherently uncertain, and the Company's assessments and recommendations are based on available information and industry best practices at the time of delivery.
7.2 Liability Cap. In no event shall Ardynox Consulting LLP be liable for damages exceeding the total fees paid by the Client in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, except in cases of gross negligence or breach of confidentiality obligations.
7.3 Excluded Damages. The Company shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, or lost data, regardless of the cause or whether advised of the possibility of such damages.
The Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Ardynox Consulting LLP, its employees, officers, and agents from any third-party claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) the Client's use of the Work Product; (b) the Client's breach of these Terms; (c) the Client's violation of applicable law; or (d) disputes regarding the accuracy or completeness of information provided by the Client to the Company.
9.1 Scope of Service. The Company's services are limited to providing professional consulting advice. The Company does not provide legal, accounting, or financial advisory services and does not act in place of the Client's internal resources or external advisors in these domains.
9.2 Professional Judgment. Recommendations are based on professional judgment and available information. The Client retains full responsibility for decision-making and implementation of any recommendations.
9.3 Regulatory Compliance. The Client is responsible for ensuring that the use of our services and implementation of recommendations comply with all applicable Canadian federal, provincial, and local laws and regulations.
10.1 Personal Information. Ardynox Consulting LLP complies with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation. We collect, use, and protect personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
10.2 Data Processing. Where the Company processes personal information on behalf of the Client, a Data Processing Agreement shall be executed prior to service commencement.

11.1 Term. The engagement term shall be as specified in the service agreement, commencing on the start date and continuing until completion of deliverables or service termination.
11.2 Termination for Convenience. Either party may terminate the engagement with thirty (30) days' written notice. Upon termination, the Client shall pay all fees accrued to the termination date and reasonable wind-down costs.
11.3 Termination for Cause. The Company may terminate immediately if the Client materially breaches these Terms and fails to cure within fifteen (15) days of written notice.
11.4 Effect of Termination. Upon termination, the Client's right to use Work Product ceases unless otherwise agreed. Confidentiality, indemnification, and liability provisions shall survive termination.

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Both parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario for resolution of any disputes.
15.1 Good Faith Negotiation. Prior to initiating legal proceedings, the parties shall attempt to resolve disputes through good faith negotiation between senior representatives.
15.2 Mediation. If negotiation fails, either party may initiate non-binding mediation before pursuing litigation. Each party shall bear its own mediation costs unless the mediator recommends otherwise.
15.3 Arbitration Option. Either party may elect binding arbitration under the Rules of the Canadian Arbitration Association in lieu of litigation. The arbitration shall take place in Toronto, Ontario.
Ardynox Consulting LLP reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective upon posting to our website or thirty (30) days after notice to the Client, whichever is later. Continued use of our services following notice of changes constitutes acceptance of modified Terms. Material changes affecting ongoing engagements will be subject to negotiation with the affected Client.
These Terms of Service, together with the applicable service agreement and any amendments signed by both parties, constitute the entire agreement between the Client and Ardynox Consulting LLP regarding the services provided. All prior negotiations, understandings, and agreements are superseded by these Terms. No oral modification of these Terms shall be valid.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be severed, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The parties shall negotiate in good faith to replace the severed provision with a valid provision that achieves the original economic intent.
The failure of either party to enforce any right or provision shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Waivers must be expressed in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
The Client may not assign these Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Ardynox Consulting LLP. The Company may assign its rights under these Terms to any successor, affiliate, or related entity. Any unauthorized assignment shall be void.
Neither party shall be liable for failure to perform obligations due to events beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, pandemics, war, terrorism, or government action. The affected party shall provide prompt notice and make reasonable efforts to resume performance. If force majeure prevents performance for more than sixty (60) days, either party may terminate the engagement.
