3.1 Initial Consultation

We offer a free initial consultation to understand your business needs. This consultation does not create any obligation on either party to proceed with a project.

Following the consultation, we may provide a proposal outlining the recommended solution, scope of work, timeline, and pricing. A binding agreement is formed only when both parties sign a formal proposal, statement of work, or contract.

Any changes to the agreed scope of work must be documented in writing and may result in adjustments to timeline and pricing. We will communicate any impacts before proceeding with changes.

4. Payment Terms
