These Terms & Conditions (“Agreement”) govern the professional consulting relationship between Harden Consulting, LLC (“Consultant,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and the client (“Client,” “you,” or “your”). By engaging Harden Consulting, LLC for services, you agree to the terms outlined below.
Official communication may occur via email, written agreement, or other mutually agreed-upon channels.
Harden Consulting, LLC provides strategic consulting services related to government contracting, client relationship management, team development, and organizational strategy. Specific services, deliverables, timelines, and milestones will be outlined in a written proposal, statement of work (SOW), or engagement agreement agreed upon by both parties.
Services are advisory in nature. Harden Consulting does not guarantee contract awards, specific financial outcomes, or government decisions. Any work outside the agreed scope, including additional meetings, deliverables, or revisions, must be approved in writing and may result in additional fees. This provision exists to prevent scope creep and ensure clarity for both parties.
Fees may be structured as hourly rates, fixed project fees, retainers, or milestone-based payments, as outlined in the applicable agreement or invoice. Payment terms, including due dates, will be clearly stated before the start of work.
Invoices are due within the timeframe specified. Late payments may incur interest or late fees where permitted by law, and work may be paused until outstanding balances are resolved. Client is responsible for all applicable taxes related to services rendered,
excluding taxes assessed on Consultant’s income.
Both parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public, sensitive, or proprietary information shared during the course of the engagement. Confidential information includes business strategies, customer data, internal documents, and any information marked or reasonably understood to be confidential.
This obligation lasts till the termination of the engagement. Harden Consulting may reference general, non-identifying aspects of work performed for marketing or portfolio purposes unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Unless otherwise stated in writing, Harden Consulting retains ownership of its proprietary methodologies, frameworks, templates, and tools used during the engagement. Upon full payment, the Client is granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the final
deliverables created specifically for their business purposes.
The term of the engagement begins on the agreed start date and continues until completion of services or termination. Either party may terminate the agreement with written notice, subject to any notice period outlined in the engagement agreement. Fees for work completed up to the termination date remain payable.
Harden Consulting, LLC shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Total liability shall not exceed the fees paid for services rendered. Client agrees to indemnify and hold Harden Consulting harmless from claims arising from misuse of
deliverables or decisions made based on consulting advice.
Harden Consulting, LLC operates as an independent contractor. Nothing in this agreement creates an employment, partnership, or joint venture relationship.
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the applicable state in which Harden Consulting, LLC is registered. Any disputes shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation before pursuing formal legal remedies.
