Terms of Engagement

Vlah Group Ltd conducts architectural and engineering consultancy work under defined constraints designed to preserve structural clarity, operational stability and confidentiality. These terms govern engagement conditions and the boundaries within which advisory work is delivered.

Scope of work

Engagements focus on structural analysis, stabilisation, corrective intervention and governance of front-end estates operating under load, change or integration pressure. Work does not extend into ongoing feature development, production support or operational runtime ownership unless explicitly agreed.

Authority and access

Access to source code, documentation, architectural assets or operational telemetry is limited to the elements required to perform structural assessment and corrective activity. All access is non-exclusive, time-bounded and controlled by the client’s security and compliance frameworks.

Confidentiality

All information received during the engagement is treated as confidential and is used solely for the execution of architectural and engineering advisory work. No disclosure is made to third parties unless required by law or formally authorised by the client.

Deliverables

Outputs are limited to structural assessments, corrective guidance, stabilisation measures and governance constraints. Deliverables may take the form of documentation, analysis artifacts, structural models or direct architectural intervention. Delivery format and granularity reflect engagement scope.

Client responsibilities

The client maintains responsibility for implementation, operational runtime behaviour, production deployment and team-level delivery outcomes. Structural recommendations are non-obligatory and require client validation within their internal engineering, governance and risk processes.

Engagement boundaries

Work is advisory and architectural in nature. Vlah Group Ltd does not provide legal, regulatory, financial or HR services, and does not assume operational decision-making authority within the client’s organisation. Engagement boundaries remain fixed unless varied through written agreement.

Fees and terms

Fees are defined in the engagement documentation and may be structured as fixed-scope, time-based or retainer arrangements. Invoices are payable within the agreed timeframe. Work may pause where overdue balances exist.

Liability

Liability for advisory work is limited to the extent permitted under UK commercial law and is confined to the direct scope of engagement. No liability is accepted for consequential, operational or production-level outcomes arising from the client’s implementation decisions.

Termination

Either party may terminate the engagement with written notice. Work delivered prior to termination remains payable. Confidentiality, data protection and intellectual property provisions continue to apply beyond termination.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising from the engagement are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
