Operational command, emergency decisions, deployment decisions, personnel safety, and real-time response remain the responsibility of the relevant Client and competent authorities.

7. Regulatory Compliance
Each party shall comply with applicable laws and regulations relevant to its obligations under the applicable Service Agreement.
We may identify potential governance, compliance, risk, or control issues during an engagement. Identification of an issue does not constitute a guarantee that all legal, regulatory, operational, financial, security, or institutional risks have been identified.
Clients should obtain independent legal or specialist advice where required.

8. Confidentiality
Each party agrees to protect the Confidential Information of the other party and to use such information only for legitimate purposes connected with the Services.

· The information has become publicly available through no breach of these Terms.

Confidentiality obligations will continue after termination of the relevant engagement for as long as the information remains confidential, subject to applicable law.

We will process personal information in accordance with applicable data-protection and privacy laws.
Where the Services involve personal, sensitive, confidential, health, student, employee, financial, beneficiary, emergency-response, or other protected information, the parties may enter into additional data-processing, confidentiality, security, or information-sharing arrangements where appropriate.
Clients are responsible for ensuring that they have an appropriate lawful basis and necessary permissions to provide personal information to the Organisation.
We will take reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect information within its control.

Unless expressly stated, the Organisation does not guarantee the accuracy, availability, suitability, or continued validity of third-party information or services.
Clients should verify regulatory and professional requirements applicable to their specific circumstances.

17. No Guarantee of Outcomes
Governance and organisational improvement depend on numerous factors, including leadership decisions, resources, staff capability, institutional culture, regulatory requirements, implementation quality, external events, and other circumstances beyond the Organisation’s control.
Accordingly, the Organisation does not guarantee that the Services will result in a particular financial, operational, regulatory, educational, clinical, organisational, emergency-response, or other outcome unless expressly guaranteed in a written agreement.

18. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Organisation will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive losses, including loss of profits, revenue, business opportunities, goodwill, anticipated savings, or data, arising from the Services.
Subject to applicable law and the terms of the relevant Service Agreement, the Organisation’s total aggregate liability arising from a particular engagement shall not exceed.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Where reasonably possible, the Organisation will notify affected Clients and take reasonable steps to mitigate the effects of the event.

· The Client provides materially false or misleading information;
· The Services are used for unlawful purposes; or
· Continued performance becomes impracticable due to circumstances outside the Organisation’s reasonable control.
· Upon termination, the Client remains responsible for fees properly incurred or payable up to the effective date of termination, subject to the applicable Service Agreement.

Where appropriate, the Organisation may maintain records necessary to demonstrate performance of its contractual and professional obligations.
Clients may request reasonable information concerning the Organisation’s performance, subject to confidentiality, security, intellectual property, and applicable legal restrictions.
Where a Client is subject to regulatory, donor, accreditation, or statutory audit requirements, the parties may agree appropriate cooperation arrangements.

The Organisation is committed to conducting its activities ethically and responsibly.
The Organisation does not knowingly tolerate fraud, corruption, bribery, exploitation, abuse, harassment, discrimination, or other unlawful conduct in connection with its Services.
Clients are expected to maintain appropriate safeguarding, ethical, whistleblowing, anti-fraud, anti-bribery, and reporting arrangements relevant to their activities.

The Organisation will review legitimate complaints and, where appropriate, investigate and provide a response within a reasonable period.
Nothing in this section prevents a person from exercising any statutory or regulatory rights available to them.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of the Website without notice where reasonably necessary.

27. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our Services, legal requirements, technology, or business practices.
The updated version will be published on our Website as needed.
