1. General
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) apply to consulting services provided by Mark Sobloki
(“Consultant”, “I”, “me”) to any client (“Client”, “you”). By engaging my services,
you agree to these Terms.
2. Nature of services
I provide business and startup consulting, including but not limited to market entry advice,
soft-landing support, business planning and growth strategy guidance. I do not provide legal,
tax, accounting, immigration or investment services and nothing in our cooperation should be
considered as such advice.
3. No guarantees
Consulting is provided on a best-effort basis. I cannot guarantee any specific outcome,
including but not limited to funding decisions, permits, visas, approvals from authorities
or investors, revenue targets or business success.
4. Client responsibilities
You are responsible for:
- Providing complete and accurate information needed for the consulting work;
- Making all business and investment decisions;
- Complying with applicable laws and regulations in Finland and any other relevant country;
- Engaging qualified legal, tax, accounting and immigration professionals where necessary.
5. Fees and payment
Fees, billing currency and payment terms are agreed before the start of each engagement.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, invoices are due within 14 days of the invoice date.
Late payments may result in suspension of services.
6. Confidentiality
I will treat non-public information you share as confidential and will not disclose it to
third parties except:
- With your permission;
- Where disclosure is required by law or competent authority; or
- To trusted subcontractors or partners where necessary to deliver the agreed services,
subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.
7. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, you may use any documents, templates, models, analyses or
other materials I provide for your own internal business purposes. You may not resell, license
or publicly distribute these materials without my prior written permission.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, my total liability arising out of or in connection with
any engagement is limited to the amount of fees you have paid me for the specific assignment
that gave rise to the claim. I am not liable for any indirect, consequential or loss of profit
damages.
9. Termination
Either party may terminate an engagement at any time upon written notice. You remain responsible
for payment of all work already performed. In the event of termination, I may provide a summary
of completed work at my discretion.
10. Applicable law and disputes
These Terms and any disputes arising from them are governed by the laws of Finland, excluding
its conflict of law rules. Any disputes will be sought to be resolved amicably. If no agreement
is reached, disputes may be brought before a competent court in Finland.
11. Changes to these Terms
I may update these Terms from time to time. The version in force at the start of a specific
engagement applies to that engagement unless we explicitly agree otherwise in writing.
