Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the website or its underlying systems
Transmit any material that is defamatory, offensive, or otherwise objectionable

2. Consulting Engagements

The following applies to all consulting services provided by Osmund:

2.1 Engagement Agreement

Each consulting engagement is governed by a separate written engagement agreement signed by both parties. That agreement sets out the specific scope of work, deliverables, timeline, fees, and any conditions particular to that engagement. In the event of any conflict between these Terms & Conditions and a signed engagement agreement, the engagement agreement takes precedence.

2.2 Scope of Services

Osmund provides advisory and consulting services only. Our deliverables — whether written reports, frameworks, or recommendations — are provided for the client's internal consideration and decision-making. We do not provide legal, financial, tax, or regulatory advice, and nothing in our deliverables should be construed as such. Clients should seek qualified professional advice before making decisions that carry legal or financial consequences.

2.3 Client Responsibilities

Engagements depend on the accurate and timely provision of information by the client. Osmund relies on the information clients provide and is not liable for outcomes that result from information that is incomplete, inaccurate, or withheld. Clients are responsible for the implementation of any recommendations made.

2.4 Fees and Payment

Fees for each engagement are as stated in the relevant engagement agreement. Unless otherwise specified, invoices are payable within 14 calendar days of issue. We reserve the right to pause or discontinue work on an engagement where invoices remain outstanding beyond the payment period.

2.5 Confidentiality

Both parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of information shared during an engagement. Osmund will not disclose client information to third parties without the client's consent, except where required by law or regulation. Clients agree to treat Osmund's methodologies, frameworks, and deliverables as confidential and not to share them externally without prior consent.

2.6 Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Osmund retains ownership of all methodologies, frameworks, templates, and background intellectual property used in delivering services. Upon full payment of all applicable fees, the client receives a non-exclusive licence to use the specific deliverables produced for their engagement for their own internal purposes. No deliverable may be resold, sublicensed, or commercially exploited without our prior written consent.

3. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

Osmund's total liability arising out of or in connection with any engagement shall not exceed the fees paid by the client for that engagement in the preceding 12 months
Osmund shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, special, or punitive loss, including loss of profit, revenue, business opportunity, or reputation, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such loss
We make no representations about the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for purpose of information on this website

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

4. Website Content and Accuracy

The content of this website is provided for general information purposes. While we aim to keep information current and accurate, we do not warrant that content is free from errors or omissions. Service descriptions, pricing, and availability are subject to change. The pricing shown on this website is indicative. Final fees are confirmed in writing as part of the engagement agreement process.

5. Third-Party Links

This website may contain links to external websites. We have no control over the content or availability of those sites and are not responsible for them. Links do not constitute endorsement of any content, products, or services on those sites.

6. Privacy

Your use of this website and any personal data you provide is governed by our Privacy Policy. By using this website, you consent to the data practices described in that policy.

7. Cookies

This website uses cookies. Your use of cookies is governed by our Cookie Policy. You may manage your cookie preferences at any time via the settings available on this website.

8. Termination of Engagements

Either party may terminate a consulting engagement by providing written notice as specified in the relevant engagement agreement. Upon termination, the client is responsible for fees corresponding to work completed up to the date of termination. Any outstanding invoices become immediately payable. Provisions relating to confidentiality, intellectual property, and limitation of liability survive termination.

9. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of Hong Kong. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms or a consulting engagement shall first be referred to senior representatives of both parties for good-faith discussion. If not resolved within 30 days, the parties may refer the matter to the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) for resolution in accordance with its administered arbitration rules. The seat of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief from the courts.

10. Amendments

We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. The most current version will always be published on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of this website following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. For consulting engagements already in progress, updates to these terms will not apply to the scope or conditions of that engagement unless agreed in writing.

11. Severability

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid under applicable law, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

12. Entire Agreement

For matters relating to consulting engagements, these Terms & Conditions together with the relevant engagement agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior discussions and representations on those matters. No representation, statement, or understanding not expressly included in those documents shall have contractual effect.
