By accessing our Site or engaging our services, you ("you" or "Client") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our Site or engage our services.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Victoria and the Commonwealth of Australia, including but not limited to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (incorporating the Australian Consumer Law), and the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012 (Vic).

KARV Consulting provides professional management and strategy consulting services, including (without limitation) corporate and growth strategy, operating model design, digital and technology transformation, executive and board advisory, M&A and transaction advisory, and performance-improvement programmes.
Every engagement is governed by a written engagement letter or master services agreement (together, the "Engagement Agreement") that sets out scope, fees, timelines, deliverables, and staffing. In the event of inconsistency between these Terms and the Engagement Agreement, the Engagement Agreement prevails.
Our services constitute professional advisory opinion based on the information available and assumptions disclosed at the time. Nothing on the Site or in any deliverable constitutes legal, tax, audit, or regulated financial advice.
Fees are agreed in advance in the Engagement Agreement and may be fixed-price, time-based, retainer, or outcome-linked. Unless otherwise agreed:
To enable us to deliver effective services, you agree to:
All intellectual property rights in our methodologies, templates, frameworks, know-how, and pre-existing materials remain the exclusive property of KARV Consulting.
Subject to full payment of fees, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free licence to use the final deliverables produced under an Engagement Agreement for your internal business purposes. You may not resell, relicense, or publicly distribute our deliverables without our prior written consent.
Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of our background intellectual property or of content on the Site.
Each party agrees to treat all non-public information received from the other party in connection with an engagement as confidential and to use it only for the purposes of that engagement. This obligation survives termination for a period of 5 years and does not apply to information that is or becomes publicly known other than through breach of this clause, was lawfully known prior to disclosure, or is required to be disclosed by law.
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any right or remedy, or any guarantee, warranty, or other term or condition, implied or imposed by the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) that cannot be lawfully excluded or limited.
Where our services are supplied to a consumer under the ACL, you may have consumer guarantees including that services are supplied with due care and skill, fit for any disclosed purpose, and supplied within a reasonable time.
To the extent permitted by law, our liability for a breach of a non-excludable consumer guarantee in relation to services is limited (at our election) to:

We operate independent conflict-checking procedures before accepting any engagement. Where a conflict or potential conflict is identified, we will either decline the engagement or disclose the conflict and seek written consent from all affected parties before proceeding.
Either party may terminate an engagement in accordance with the terms of the Engagement Agreement. In the absence of more specific terms, either party may terminate on 30 days' written notice. Upon termination:
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to the Site at any time without notice.
In the event of a dispute, the parties agree to:
Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.
Your personal information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. We handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.
Neither party is liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under these Terms to the extent that such delay or failure is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, pandemics, civil unrest, or government actions. The affected party must notify the other party promptly and use reasonable endeavours to resume performance.
We may update these Terms at any time by publishing the revised version on our Site. The revised Terms will be effective from the date of publication. Continued use of the Site or engagement of our services after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be severed, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
Failure by KARV Consulting to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
These Terms, together with any Engagement Agreement and our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and KARV Consulting with respect to your use of the Site and the provision of our services, superseding all prior agreements, representations, and understandings.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Victoria and the Commonwealth of Australia. You irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria (and any relevant appellate courts) for the resolution of any disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms.
