Scope of Services
The specific services to be provided will be detailed in a separate proposal, agreement, or Statement of Work (SOW) agreed upon by both parties. Services may include analysis, strategy development, planning, coordination, and advisory support across our core areas. Any changes to the scope must be documented in writing and mutually agreed.

Curved Business reserves the right to determine the methods and approaches used to deliver the services effectively.
Payment Terms
Fees for services will be as specified in the proposal or SOW, inclusive of applicable taxes such as GST. Invoices will be issued as per the agreed milestone schedule or upon completion of phases. Payment is due within 15 days from the invoice date unless otherwise stated. Late payments may attract interest at 1.5% per month on overdue amounts. All expenses incurred with prior client approval will be reimbursed at actuals with supporting documents. Fees are non-refundable except as explicitly agreed in writing for specific circumstances.
Confidentiality
Both parties agree to treat all information exchanged during the engagement as confidential and not disclose it to third parties without prior written consent. Confidential information includes business strategies, financial data, operational details, and proprietary information shared for the purpose of consulting. This obligation continues for 3 years after the engagement ends. Exceptions apply to information already public or required by law to be disclosed. Curved Business implements reasonable measures to protect client information. Clients agree not to use our proprietary methodologies or tools beyond the agreed scope.
