Clients remain responsible for professional judgments, regulatory compliance, tax filings, financial reporting, and other activities that require licensed or appropriately authorized professionals.

4.3 Digital Marketing & Lead Generation

We may provide marketing coordination, campaign support, CRM administration, lead management, content-related assistance, and other agreed digital marketing services.

Marketing results depend on multiple factors outside our control, including market conditions, competition, advertising budgets, platform policies, and client participation.

We do not guarantee specific sales volumes, lead quantities, search rankings, advertising performance, or revenue outcomes unless a separate written agreement expressly establishes a measurable commitment.

4.4 AI Integration & Workflow Automation

We may help clients implement AI-enabled solutions, connect business applications, automate repetitive activities, and improve operational workflows.

Automated systems and AI-generated outputs may contain errors, inaccuracies, omissions, or unexpected behavior.

Clients remain responsible for reviewing and approving business-critical decisions, communications, and actions performed through automated systems unless the parties expressly agree otherwise.

We may recommend human review, testing, monitoring, and appropriate safeguards before deploying automations that affect sensitive information or important business processes.

5. Service Engagements and Scope of Work

Professional services generally begin after the parties agree on the relevant engagement terms.

Depending on the service, these terms may appear in a proposal, statement of work, engagement letter, service agreement, or other written confirmation.

An engagement may define:

▪  Services and deliverables
▪  Project objectives and expected outcomes
▪  Roles and responsibilities
▪  Project timelines and milestones
▪  Communication and reporting arrangements
▪  Fees and payment schedules
▪  Required client resources and system access
▪  Confidentiality and data protection obligations
▪  Change requests and approval procedures
▪  Termination and transition arrangements

Services outside the agreed scope may require additional approval, revised timelines, or separate fees.

Unless otherwise agreed, discussions, consultations, website descriptions, and preliminary recommendations do not independently establish a binding obligation to provide professional services.

6. Client Responsibilities

Successful service delivery requires cooperation between SortBiz and the client.

Clients agree to provide accurate information, appropriate instructions, and timely access to the resources necessary for the agreed services.

6.1 Information and Cooperation

Clients are responsible for:

▪  Providing accurate and complete information
▪  Communicating business requirements clearly
▪  Designating appropriate points of contact
▪  Reviewing and approving deliverables when required
▪  Responding to reasonable information requests
▪  Providing timely feedback and decisions
▪  Notifying us of material changes affecting the engagement

6.2 System Access and Authorization

Clients must ensure that any access granted to SortBiz is properly authorized and consistent with applicable laws, contractual obligations, and third-party platform requirements.

Clients should provide access through approved user accounts, permission settings, or other secure methods supported by the relevant systems.

We may decline or suspend activities that require unauthorized access, inappropriate credential sharing, or processing that appears inconsistent with applicable legal requirements.

6.3 Legal and Regulatory Compliance

Clients remain responsible for complying with laws and professional requirements applicable to their businesses.

This includes obtaining necessary permissions, notices, consents, and authorizations for information they instruct us to access or process.

Where specialized legal or regulatory requirements apply, the parties may need additional agreements or safeguards before work begins.

7. Fees, Billing, and Payments

Fees for professional services depend on the scope, complexity, duration, and requirements of each engagement.

We communicate applicable pricing through proposals, service agreements, invoices, or other written arrangements.

7.1 Service Fees

Depending on the engagement, services may be billed through:

▪  Fixed project fees
▪  Monthly recurring fees
▪  Hourly rates
▪  Milestone-based payments
▪  Other mutually agreed pricing arrangements

7.2 Payment Terms

Payment schedules, due dates, accepted payment methods, and any applicable taxes will be established in the relevant engagement documents or invoices.

Clients agree to pay undisputed fees according to the agreed payment terms.

7.3 Late or Outstanding Payments

Where permitted by the applicable agreement and law, we may suspend or delay services when payments remain overdue.

We will seek to communicate material payment concerns before suspending ongoing services, except where immediate action is reasonably necessary.

7.4 Additional Services

Requests outside the original scope may require additional fees or revised engagement terms.

We will seek appropriate approval before undertaking separately chargeable work.

7.5 Refunds and Cancellations

Refunds, cancellations, and payment adjustments are governed by the applicable service agreement and relevant consumer protection or commercial laws.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, fees for work already performed or approved expenses already incurred may remain payable, subject to applicable law.

8. Consultations and Appointments

SortBiz may offer introductory consultations to discuss prospective clients’ business requirements and potential service opportunities.

Consultation availability, duration, and any applicable fees will be communicated through our website or scheduling platform.

Our initial business consultation is generally offered on a complimentary basis.

Scheduling a consultation does not automatically establish a professional service engagement or guarantee acceptance of a project.

We may reschedule or decline appointments when reasonably necessary due to availability, service suitability, or other legitimate business considerations.

We encourage prospective clients to provide accurate contact information and reasonable notice when requesting appointment changes.

9. Confidentiality and Data Protection

We recognize that clients may share confidential business information and authorize access to sensitive operational systems.

We aim to handle such information responsibly and in accordance with applicable confidentiality obligations.

9.1 Confidential Information

Confidential information may include:

▪  Internal business records
▪  Customer and client information
▪  Business processes and procedures
▪  Operational reports
▪  Commercial plans and strategies
▪  Employee and contractor information
▪  Nonpublic financial administration information
▪  Proprietary systems and documentation

9.2 Authorized Use

We use confidential information for authorized business purposes related to the relevant engagement.

Where appropriate, confidentiality obligations may be further defined in a nondisclosure agreement, service agreement, or data processing agreement.

9.3 Privacy and Information Security

Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.

Our information protection principles and security practices are addressed in our Data Security & Confidentiality page.

Where legally required, the parties must establish appropriate data processing arrangements before personal information is processed on behalf of a client.

9.4 Sensitive and Regulated Information

Clients must not provide access to sensitive or legally restricted information unless the necessary authorizations, contractual arrangements, and safeguards are in place.

Additional requirements may apply to information involving healthcare, financial services, legal matters, or tax return information.

For US tax return information, applicable federal requirements may restrict disclosure, use, and access, including access by personnel located outside the United States.

Our general service engagement does not replace any legally required authorization or consent.

10. Intellectual Property Rights

10.1 Website Content

Unless otherwise stated, the content, design, graphics, branding, logos, text, and other materials published on our website belong to SortBiz or are used under appropriate authorization.

Applicable intellectual property laws protect these materials.

You may access website content for lawful personal or internal business reference purposes.

You must not reproduce, distribute, modify, commercially exploit, or publicly republish protected content without appropriate authorization.

10.2 Client Materials

Clients retain their applicable ownership rights in information, materials, trademarks, business records, and other intellectual property they provide to SortBiz.

Clients grant us the limited permissions reasonably necessary to use those materials for the agreed services.

10.3 Work Product and Deliverables

Ownership and permitted use of project deliverables will be determined by the relevant service agreement.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment for services does not automatically transfer ownership of SortBiz’s pre-existing tools, templates, methodologies, software components, or proprietary materials.

Where deliverables incorporate third-party software, stock assets, licensed materials, or external platforms, the applicable third-party licensing terms may also apply.

10.4 Portfolio and Publicity

We will not assume that a client engagement authorizes public disclosure of confidential project information.

Any use of a client’s confidential information, private results, or nonpublic materials for marketing or case studies requires appropriate authorization.

11. Third-Party Platforms and Services

Our services may involve third-party applications, software, hosting providers, communication platforms, marketing tools, or business systems.

These platforms operate under their own terms, privacy policies, licensing arrangements, and service conditions.

Clients remain responsible for maintaining necessary subscriptions, licenses, permissions, and payment arrangements unless otherwise agreed.

SortBiz does not control the independent availability, pricing, security, or functionality of third-party services.

We are not responsible for failures caused solely by third-party systems outside our reasonable control, except to the extent liability arises from our own acts, omissions, or obligations under an applicable agreement or law.

12. AI Tools and Automated Workflows

SortBiz may recommend, configure, or support AI-enabled applications and automated business workflows.

These technologies can improve efficiency but may also produce inaccurate results, unexpected actions, or technical failures.

12.1 Human Review and Approval

Clients should review AI-generated content and automated outputs before relying on them for significant business, legal, financial, regulatory, or customer-related decisions.

12.2 Testing and Monitoring

Automation projects may require testing, monitoring, maintenance, and adjustments as business systems or third-party applications change.

The parties should agree on responsibilities for ongoing monitoring and support where applicable.

12.3 Information Protection

We do not treat access to client systems as unrestricted authorization to transfer confidential information into AI applications.

Any processing involving confidential or sensitive information must comply with the applicable engagement terms, client instructions, and legal requirements.

12.4 Performance Limitations

Unless expressly agreed in writing, we do not guarantee that AI tools or automated workflows will operate without interruption, error, or the need for human intervention.

13. Service Timelines and Deliverables

We aim to deliver services according to agreed timelines and project requirements.

Actual completion dates may depend on:

▪  Project complexity
▪  Client responsiveness
▪  Availability of required information
▪  Third-party platform performance
▪  Changes to project scope
▪  Technical dependencies
▪  Other circumstances outside our reasonable control

We will seek to communicate material delays and coordinate reasonable adjustments when necessary.

Unless a written agreement expressly states otherwise, estimated timelines are planning targets rather than guarantees.

14. Service Changes, Suspension, and Termination

14.1 Changes to Services

Clients may request changes to an engagement’s scope, priorities, or deliverables.

Material changes may require revised fees, timelines, or written approval.

14.2 Suspension of Services

Subject to the applicable agreement and law, we may suspend services when reasonably necessary due to:

▪  Outstanding payments
▪  Unauthorized or unlawful instructions
▪  Material security concerns
▪  Failure to provide essential access or information
▪  Material breaches of agreed obligations
▪  Other circumstances expressly addressed in the service agreement

14.3 Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement according to the termination provisions of the applicable service agreement.

Where no specific termination procedure has been agreed, the parties should coordinate termination in writing, subject to applicable contractual and legal obligations.

14.4 Transition and Information Return

Following termination, the parties may coordinate the return, transfer, or deletion of relevant client information according to the applicable agreement, legal requirements, and reasonable operational considerations.

Outstanding payment obligations and provisions intended to survive termination may remain effective.

15. Disclaimers

We aim to provide accurate website information and dependable professional services.

However, certain limitations apply.

15.1 Website Information

We provide website content for general informational purposes.

We may update service descriptions, website content, and other information without prior notice.

We do not guarantee that all website information will always be complete, current, or free from errors.

15.2 Business Outcomes

Business performance depends on many factors beyond our control.

Unless expressly agreed in writing, we do not guarantee specific revenue increases, cost reductions, lead generation results, operational savings, or other commercial outcomes.

15.3 Professional Advice

Information provided through our website does not constitute legal, tax, accounting, financial, or other regulated professional advice.

Clients should consult appropriately qualified professionals when such advice is required.

15.4 Website Availability

We aim to maintain a functional and accessible website but cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability or error-free operation.

Nothing in these disclaimers excludes rights, warranties, or remedies that applicable law does not permit us to exclude.

16. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, SortBiz will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising solely from the use of our public website, including lost profits, business opportunities, or data, where such exclusions are legally enforceable.

For professional service engagements, any agreed limitations of liability will be governed by the applicable service agreement.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability arising from fraud, willful misconduct, or other matters protected by applicable law.

These Terms do not establish a general monetary liability cap for professional services. Any such cap must be expressly addressed in the applicable engagement agreement.

17. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify SortBiz against third-party claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of our website, intentional misuse of our systems, or infringement of third-party rights through materials you submit.

This provision does not require you to indemnify SortBiz for losses caused by our own negligence, misconduct, or breach of applicable obligations.

Any indemnification obligations relating to professional services will be governed by the relevant service agreement.

18. Events Beyond Reasonable Control

Neither party will be responsible for delays or failures caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, except for obligations that applicable law or the relevant agreement requires it to fulfill regardless of such circumstances.

These circumstances may include:

▪  Natural disasters
▪  Major internet or infrastructure disruptions
▪  Government restrictions
▪  Widespread third-party service outages
▪  Civil emergencies
▪  Other extraordinary events beyond reasonable control

The affected party should take reasonable steps to reduce disruption and communicate material impacts when practicable.

19. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

Disputes relating to professional services will be governed by the law, jurisdiction, and dispute resolution procedures specified in the applicable service agreement.

For disputes relating solely to the public website, the applicable governing law and jurisdiction will depend on the legally established location of SortBiz Solutions and any mandatory laws that apply to the parties.

Before initiating formal proceedings, we encourage parties to contact us and attempt to resolve concerns through good-faith communication.

Nothing in these Terms restricts mandatory legal rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be waived.

20. Privacy and Related Policies

These Terms should be read alongside our other website policies.

Privacy Policy
Explains how we collect, use, share, retain, and protect personal information.

Data Security & Confidentiality
Explains our approach to information security, authorized access, confidentiality, and responsible information handling.

Where a separate signed agreement establishes additional obligations, that agreement will generally govern the relevant professional engagement.

21. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes in our services, website functionality, business operations, or applicable legal requirements.

When we make changes, we will update the Last Updated date at the beginning of this page.

Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or obtain appropriate agreement before material changes take effect.

Changes to these website Terms do not automatically modify an existing signed service agreement.

22. General Provisions

22.1 Severability

If a competent authority determines that a provision of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.

22.2 No Waiver

Our failure to enforce a provision does not automatically waive our right to enforce it later.

22.3 Entire Agreement

These Terms govern general use of our public website.

For professional services, the applicable signed agreement and any documents expressly incorporated into it establish the contractual terms for that engagement.

22.4 Relationship Between the Parties

Nothing in these Terms creates an employment relationship, partnership, joint venture, or general agency relationship between SortBiz and a website visitor or client.
