Engagement terms

The terms, before you ask.

The main terms of every engagement. Each project has an engagement letter with its scope, deadline and price; where the letter differs from this page, the letter applies.

Scope and deadline
Written in the engagement letter before work starts. Work outside the scope is quoted separately.
Payment
Up to EUR 5,000: in advance. Above EUR 5,000: 70% on signature, 30% before final delivery. Subscriptions: monthly in advance. Prices exclude VAT where applicable and include travel and accommodation within Romania.
Deadline guarantee
If I miss a deadline for reasons on my side, you get 10% of the fee back.
Cancellation
Before work starts: the advance is refunded in full. After work starts: you pay for the work done to that date, in proportion to the scope. Subscriptions end at the end of any month after the minimum term, with 30 days' notice.
Confidentiality
Both sides sign a confidentiality agreement. Your information is never used for another client. I name you as a client only with your written consent.
Use of reports
You may use the report inside your organisation and with your advisers. Publishing it, quoting it in marketing or presenting it as an endorsement needs my written consent.
Tools and data
I use software, including AI tools, for desk research, translation and drafting. Every finding is checked and graded by me. Your confidential information enters a tool only under a data processing agreement.
Personal data
Personal data reaches you only under a data processing agreement. See Privacy.
Liability
Limited to the fee paid for the engagement, except where the law does not allow a limit.
Law
Romanian law. Disputes go to the competent courts in Timisoara, Romania.

You can research Romania from your desk. I verify it on the ground.
