Terms & Conditions

Effective date: February 28, 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern the provision of consulting services by The 2025 Club® ("Company", "we", "us", "our") to any client ("Client", "you", "your"). By engaging our services, signing a proposal, statement of work, or otherwise using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Services

The 2025 Club® provides strategic consulting, advisory, and related professional services as described in written proposals, statements of work ("SOW"), or agreements agreed upon with the Client (collectively, the "Services"). The scope, timeline, and deliverables of the Services will be defined in the applicable SOW.

We will perform the Services with reasonable care and skill consistent with generally accepted consulting industry standards.

2. Client Responsibilities

The Client agrees to:

  • Provide timely, accurate, and complete information reasonably required for the performance of the Services.

  • Ensure availability of key personnel for meetings, feedback, and approvals.

  • Make decisions and provide approvals within reasonable timeframes.

Delays or failures by the Client may impact timelines, outcomes, and fees, for which The 2025 Club® shall not be responsible.

3. Fees and Payment

Fees, billing schedules, and payment terms are set forth in the applicable SOW or invoice.

Unless otherwise stated:

  • Invoices are payable within 14 days of the invoice date.

  • All fees are exclusive of taxes, VAT, or similar charges, which shall be borne by the Client.

  • Late payments may accrue interest at the maximum rate permitted by law.

We reserve the right to suspend Services for overdue accounts.

4. Expenses

Out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the Services (if applicable) will be invoiced to the Client, provided such expenses are approved in advance or outlined in the SOW.

5. Intellectual Property

5.1 Pre-Existing Materials

Each party retains ownership of all intellectual property, methodologies, tools, frameworks, and materials developed or owned prior to the engagement or independently of it ("Background IP").

5.2. Deliverables

Upon full payment of all applicable fees, the Client is granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the final deliverables solely for internal business purposes, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The 2025 Club® retains all rights to underlying know-how, methodologies, templates, frameworks, and concepts used or developed in the course of providing the Services.

6. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public, proprietary, or confidential information disclosed by the other party in connection with the Services ("Confidential Information").

Confidential Information shall not include information that:

  • Is or becomes publicly available without breach of these Terms;

  • Was lawfully known prior to disclosure;

  • Is independently developed without use of the Confidential Information;

  • Is required to be disclosed by law or regulation.

These confidentiality obligations survive termination of the engagement.

7. Data Protection

Each party agrees to comply with applicable data protection and privacy laws. Where personal data is processed, the parties may enter into a separate data processing agreement if required by law.

8. No Guarantee of Results

Consulting services involve professional judgment and strategic advice. The 2025 Club® does not guarantee specific outcomes, financial results, or performance improvements unless expressly stated in writing.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • The 2025 Club® shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages.

  • Our total liability arising out of or in connection with the Services shall be limited to the total fees paid by the Client for the Services giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or liability that cannot be excluded by law.

10. Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement:

  • As provided in the applicable SOW; or

  • Upon written notice if the other party materially breaches these Terms and fails to cure such breach within a reasonable period.

Upon termination, the Client shall pay for all Services performed and expenses incurred up to the termination date.

11. Independent Contractor

The 2025 Club® acts as an independent contractor. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between the parties.

12. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for failure or delay in performance due to events beyond reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, strikes, or government actions.

13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Austria without regard to conflict of law principles. The courts of Linz, Austria shall have exclusive jurisdiction.

14. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with any applicable SOW or written agreement, constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior understandings or agreements relating to the Services.

Any amendments must be made in writing and signed by both parties.
