These Terms apply to your use of the Website only. Consulting engagements, project work, and professional services are governed by separate agreements (typically a Statement of Work or Master Services Agreement executed with the client).

3. Use of This Website
Access to this Website is provided on a temporary and limited basis for the purposes of:
- Browsing information about NETEVO's services
- Contacting us or booking a discovery call
- Accessing published articles, insights, or resources
We reserve the right to withdraw, modify, or restrict access to any part of this Website without notice. We are not liable if the Website is unavailable at any time.
4. Discovery Calls & Preliminary Discussions
Important: Discovery calls and preliminary discussions are provided for information gathering and capability assessment purposes only. They do not constitute:
- Professional advice (legal, financial, technical, or otherwise)
- A binding service agreement or retainer
- A representation or warranty about outcomes
NETEVO accepts no liability for actions taken based on preliminary discussions prior to the execution of a signed Statement of Work (SOW). Any binding engagement requires written agreement and payment of the initial invoice.
Information collected during booking (via Calendly) is subject to our Privacy Policy. Calendly is a US-based service; by booking, you acknowledge that your data may be processed in the United States.
5. Client Engagements
All consulting and implementation work is scoped and agreed in writing. A Statement of Work (SOW) or Master Services Agreement (MSA) will define:
- Scope of deliverables
- Timelines and milestones
- Fees and payment terms
- Intellectual property ownership
- Confidentiality obligations
Work begins upon countersignature of the agreement and receipt of the initial invoice payment. The terms of the signed engagement agreement prevail over these Website Terms in the event of any conflict.

No Waiver
Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision or our right to enforce it later.
