1. Agreement
These terms govern your use of www.appliedsynergyplusconsulting.com and, unless a signed engagement letter or subscription agreement says otherwise, the services provided by Applied Synergy Plus Consulting LLC. By using our website or services you agree to these terms.
2. Services
We provide audit methodology consulting, technical staff outsourcing, training and professional development, AI automation system development, and subscription access to our software platforms. Each engagement is defined in a written proposal or engagement letter describing scope, deliverables, timing, and fees. Where a signed engagement letter conflicts with these terms, the engagement letter prevails.
3. Professional scope
Our consulting, training, and software support professional judgement; they do not replace it. We do not act as your firm's engagement partner, auditor, or legal adviser, and responsibility for audit opinions, filings, and compliance decisions remains with your firm.
4. Client responsibilities
- Provide accurate information and timely access to relevant people and material.
- Obtain any internal approvals or client consents needed for us to perform the work.
- Keep platform credentials secure and use the platforms only for lawful purposes.
5. Fees and payment
- Fees are as stated in the accepted proposal, order, or checkout page.
- All amounts are in US dollars (USD) unless stated otherwise.
- Consulting invoices are payable within 14 days of invoice date unless agreed otherwise.
- Subscriptions are billed in advance for the selected period and renew automatically until cancelled.
- Card payments are processed by our third-party payment processor. We may suspend services for accounts with overdue balances.
- Applicable taxes are added where required by law.
6. Refunds and cancellation
Cancellation and refund terms are set out in our Refund & Cancellation Policy, which forms part of these terms.
7. Intellectual property
We retain ownership of our methodologies, templates, training material, software platforms, and pre-existing tools. On full payment, you receive a perpetual, non-exclusive licence to use deliverables prepared for you for your internal business purposes. Custom-built systems are licensed or assigned as stated in the relevant engagement letter. You retain ownership of your data and engagement material.
8. Confidentiality
Each party will keep the other's confidential information in confidence and use it only for the purposes of the engagement, except where disclosure is required by law or professional standards.
9. AI-assisted output
Our platforms and deliverables may use AI to generate drafts, summaries, and suggestions. Output must be reviewed by qualified professionals before being relied upon, and we do not warrant that AI-generated content is complete or error-free.
10. Warranties and disclaimers
We will perform services with reasonable skill and care by suitably experienced personnel. Except as expressly stated, our website and platforms are provided "as is" without further warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential loss, or loss of profits, revenue, or data. Our total aggregate liability arising from an engagement is limited to the fees paid to us for that engagement in the twelve months preceding the claim. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, including for fraud.
12. Term and termination
Either party may terminate a consulting engagement on 30 days' written notice, or immediately for material breach that is not remedied within 15 days of notice. Fees for work performed and expenses committed up to termination remain payable. Subscription cancellation is covered in the Refund & Cancellation Policy.
13. Acceptable use of platforms
You may not reverse engineer, resell, or provide unauthorised third-party access to our platforms, upload unlawful content, or attempt to disrupt or gain unauthorised access to our systems.
14. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which Applied Synergy Plus Consulting LLC is registered, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The parties will attempt to resolve disputes in good faith before commencing proceedings.
15. Changes
We may update these terms for our website and future engagements. Continued use of the website or services after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
