1. Engagement Structure & 8-Stage Model
All consulting engagements initiated through VIGOORR follow our formal 8-Stage Milestone Lifecycle: (1) Inquiry, (2) Assessment, (3) Proposal & Agreement, (4) Submission, (5) Processing, (6) QA Review, (7) Client Review & Feedback, and (8) Final Delivery. No stage transitions occur without documented milestone verification.
2. Scope of Services & Deliverables
Each engagement is governed by an agreed Statement of Work (SOW) or written Scope Document generated during Stage 3. VIGOORR delivers advisory, analytical, and drafting support within the explicitly defined scope. Additional scope requests require a written Change Order.
3. Client Deliverables & Intellectual Property Rights
Upon full settlement of agreed consulting fees, all bespoke deliverables (custom manuscripts, customized patent claim drafts, statistical outputs, tailored contract reviews) become the exclusive intellectual property of the Client. VIGOORR retains ownership of its pre-existing templates, proprietary algorithms, and general know-how.
4. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, VIGOORR's aggregate liability arising out of or related to any consulting engagement shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client under the specific engagement giving rise to the claim. Neither party shall be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
5. Governing Law & Dispute Escalation
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of India. In the event of a dispute, parties agree to first engage in good-faith executive consultations for 14 days, followed by binding fast-track arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.
