Each engagement is governed by a separate proposal or Statement of Work (SOW) that sets out the scope, deliverables, and fees. These documents form part of this agreement once approved.
3. Engagement and Responsibilities
3.1 Acceptance of Work
Engagements begin upon written confirmation (including email) or receipt of the first payment.
3.2 Client Responsibilities
You agree to provide timely access to the necessary information, personnel, and systems to enable delivery. Board North is not liable for delays or impacts resulting from unavailable data, feedback, or personnel.
3.3 Delivery
We will deliver all work with reasonable skill and care in accordance with agreed timelines. Timelines may be adjusted if dependencies outside our control affect progress.
4. Fees and Payment
4.1 Fees
Fees are stated in your approved proposal or project document. Unless otherwise specified, all prices are exclusive of VAT.

Invoices are payable within 14 days of issue unless otherwise agreed. Late payments may attract statutory interest under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
4.3 Expenses
Where applicable, travel and other pre-approved out-of-pocket expenses will be charged at cost.
4.4 Retainers or Subscriptions
Where ongoing services are provided on a retainer or subscription basis, fees renew automatically unless cancelled with 30 days’ written notice before the next billing date.
5. Confidentiality
Both parties agree to keep all information received during the engagement confidential and use it solely for the purpose of fulfilling their obligations. This obligation continues indefinitely, even after the engagement ends.
6. Intellectual Property
6.1 Ownership
All templates, models, frameworks, data tools, and intellectual property developed or supplied by Board North remain our property unless explicitly transferred in writing.
6.2 Licence of Use
You are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use deliverables solely within your organisation for the purpose for which they were created.
6.3 Client Data
All materials and data you provide remain your property. You grant us permission to use such materials only as necessary to deliver the services.
7. Data Protection
Board North complies with the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018. Depending on the engagement, we may act as either a data controller or data processor. Further details are set out in our [Privacy Policy].
8. Limitation of Liability
8.1 – Board North will exercise all reasonable care and skill in delivering services but does not guarantee specific outcomes or financial results.
8.2 – To the fullest extent permitted by law, Board North shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, or economic loss.
8.3 – Our total aggregate liability, whether in contract, negligence, or otherwise, will not exceed the total fees paid for the specific engagement giving rise to the claim.
9. Performance Guarantee
9.1 Guarantee Overview
Board North offers a performance guarantee of a minimum 10% improvement in ROI, provided the Client has fully implemented the Board North Strategy and worked in partnership with Board North for at least twelve (12) consecutive months following implementation.
9.2 Conditions of Guarantee
a. The guarantee applies only where the Client has:
- Engaged with Board North for a minimum of twelve (12) months;
- Fully implemented all recommendations and actions within the most recent version of the Board North Strategy, as signed off by Board North at completion;
- Implemented any AI, automation, data, or process improvements recommended by Board North, as evidenced by Board North through documentation and sign-off.
b. Recommendations may evolve over time as part of our adaptive, data-driven approach. The final version of the Board North Strategy, as signed off by Board North, will form the baseline for assessing performance.
c. The Client must actively engage in the implementation process and maintain reasonable collaboration, data access, and system visibility to enable an accurate assessment of outcomes.
d. ROI will be assessed using the agreed financial or operational metrics defined at project initiation and validated by both parties.
9.3 Exclusions
The guarantee will not apply where:
- The Client has materially altered, delayed, or discontinued implementation of the Board North Strategy;
- External factors outside the Client’s reasonable control (e.g. market shocks, regulatory changes) have materially impacted performance;
- The Client has failed to provide sufficient access or information required to evidence outcomes.
9.4 Remedy
Where all conditions above are met and the ROI improvement of at least 10% has not been achieved, Board North will, at its discretion, consider offering up to a full refund of the fees paid for the relevant engagement, based on its assessment of implementation quality, data integrity, and performance evidence.
10. Termination
Either party may terminate this agreement by giving 30 days’ written notice. We may terminate immediately if payment remains overdue by more than 30 days or if a material breach occurs.
Upon termination, all fees for work completed or committed prior to the termination date will become immediately due and payable.
11. Force Majeure
Neither party will be liable for delays or failures to perform caused by events beyond their reasonable control, including (but not limited to) acts of God, strikes, pandemics, or network outages.
12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and both parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
13. General
These Terms, together with any signed proposal or Statement of Work, constitute the entire agreement between the parties.
Any amendment must be made in writing and agreed by both parties.
Failure to enforce any provision shall not constitute a waiver of rights.
If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining Terms remain in full effect.
