Consulting Engagement: A consulting engagement is a professional agreement between a consulting firm and a client, wherein the firm offers specialized advice, insights, and solutions in return for compensation. Governed by a formal contract, this arrangement specifies the scope of services, objectives, deliverables, timeline, and payment details. Such engagements are diverse, covering strategic planning, operational improvement, financial management, technology implementation, marketing strategies, and human resources advising, among others. They vary significantly in duration, complexity, and focus, tailored to meet the unique needs and challenges of the client. This collaborative process aims to enhance the client's business performance through expert guidance and actionable strategies, ensuring alignment of expectations and clear outcomes from the onset.

Business Engagement: Business Engagement encompasses all interactions and activities conducted between the Client and the Consultant outside of or in addition to the consulting services. This includes events, meetings (both in-office and out-of-office), phone calls, email communications, and any other form of in-person or digital interaction involving the Consultant's employees or contractors. Business Engagements are integral to understanding client needs, providing ongoing support, and fostering a collaborative relationship throughout the consulting process.

Client: The Client refers to any business entity or individual that enters into a contractual agreement with the Consultant for the provision of consulting services.

To preserve the integrity and value of our intellectual property, certain restrictions are in place:

Confidentiality

IAG believes trust forms the bedrock of our relationship between IAG Investments and Consulting and our clients. We understand that the success of our engagements hinges not only on the expertise we bring but also on the depth of the trust our clients place in us, especially when it comes to handling sensitive information. Confidential information, whether it pertains to business strategies, financial data, operational processes, or proprietary technologies, is shared in the spirit of partnership and with the expectation of privacy.

IAG Investments and Consulting adheres to the highest standards of confidentiality and data protection. We are committed to ensuring that all information disclosed during our consulting engagements is safeguarded with the utmost care and discretion. This commitment extends to all forms of communication and data exchange, including digital, written, and verbal interactions.

Our confidentiality obligations are defined by the following principles:

No Unauthorized Disclosure: Under no circumstances will we disclose any client information without explicit consent or unless a valid court order is obtained. This includes, but is not limited to, business plans, strategy documents, financial records, employee information, and any other data considered confidential by the client. Our team is trained to handle such information with the highest level of security and professionalism.
Legally Compelled Disclosure: In instances where disclosure is required by law, such as through legal proceedings or governmental inquiries, IAG Investments and Consulting will comply strictly within the parameters set by such legal obligations. Even in these circumstances, we will endeavor to notify the client of the requirement for disclosure, subject to legal constraints, and will take all reasonable steps to minimize the scope of the disclosure and maintain confidentiality to the greatest extent possible.
Data Security Measures: To protect the integrity and confidentiality of client information, we employ robust data security measures. These include secure data storage solutions, encrypted communication channels, and access controls that restrict information access to authorized personnel only. Our security protocols are regularly reviewed and updated to address emerging threats and ensure compliance with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.
Confidentiality Agreements: As an additional layer of protection, IAG Investments and Consulting is willing to enter into confidentiality agreements with our clients. These agreements are tailored to outline the specific nature of the confidential information, the scope of the confidentiality obligations, and the duration for which these obligations remain in effect.
Training and Awareness: Our team members are regularly trained on the importance of confidentiality and data protection. This ensures that everyone involved in the consulting process is aware of their obligations and the trust our clients place in us.
Perpetual Confidentiality: The obligation of both parties to maintain the confidentiality of information disclosed during our engagements is perpetual, extending indefinitely unless explicitly stated otherwise in a written contract. This enduring commitment ensures the long-term protection of sensitive information.
Return or Destruction of Confidential Materials: Upon termination of the consulting relationship, IAG Investments and Consulting requires the return or certified destruction of all confidential materials provided to or created by the client during the engagement. Specific procedures for the return or destruction will be outlined in the confidentiality agreements, ensuring the secure and effective disposal of sensitive materials.

Amendments to Terms and Conditions

IAG Investments and Consulting reserves the right to update these terms and conditions at any time. We will notify clients of any changes by posting the new terms and conditions on this page. Your continued use of our services following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new terms and conditions.

Governing Law

The legal relationship between IAG Investments and Consulting ("the Consultant") and its clients ("the Client") is governed by the specific provisions set forth in the client agreement. In instances where the governing law is not explicitly designated within the client agreement, it shall default to the laws of the jurisdiction corresponding to the address of the Consultant as listed on the contract, which shall also denote the primary office for client engagement. This arrangement ensures clarity and certainty regarding the legal framework that governs the contractual relationship, providing both parties with a comprehensive understanding of their respective rights and obligations.

Jurisdiction and Legal Compliance

The Consultant conducts all services, advice, and interactions in strict compliance with the laws and regulations of its operating jurisdiction. This compliance forms the foundation of our operations, guaranteeing the delivery of services that are not only effective but also adhere to the highest legal standards. By engaging the services of the Consultant, the Client consents to resolve any legal matters, disputes, or misunderstandings within the legal confines of the Consultant's operating jurisdiction. This consent establishes a clear pathway for the resolution of disputes, grounded in the jurisdiction's legal principles.

Court Jurisdiction

Clients acknowledge and agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within our operating jurisdiction. This means that, while disputes can be brought to these courts, it does not preclude the possibility of submitting disputes to any other jurisdiction in cases where the law permits or requires it.

The choice of non-exclusive jurisdiction aims to provide flexibility and fairness to both IAG Investments and Consulting and our clients, ensuring that disputes can be resolved in a manner that is accessible and appropriate to the nature of the dispute.

Dispute Resolution Framework

To facilitate a fair and efficient resolution of disputes, the Consultant adopts a structured dispute resolution process:

Negotiation: Initially, parties shall attempt to resolve any disputes through direct negotiations, leveraging open communication and mutual cooperation to reach an amicable resolution.
Mediation: If negotiation does not result in a resolution, the dispute will proceed to mediation, where a neutral third-party mediator will assist the parties in reaching a settlement. The mediator's role is to facilitate dialogue and offer non-binding suggestions to resolve the dispute.
Arbitration: Should mediation fail to achieve a resolution, the dispute will be submitted to binding arbitration. The arbitration process will be conducted in accordance with the rules of a recognized arbitration association agreed upon by both parties at the time of the contract signing or, in the absence of such agreement, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The decision rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both parties.
Litigation: Only if arbitration is not stipulated in the agreement, or specific legal exceptions apply, parties may seek resolution through litigation. The parties agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the Consultant's operating jurisdiction, as specified in the contract. This clause ensures flexibility and fairness, allowing for court adjudication where necessary and permitted by law.
