Terms of Service

Effective Date: November 29, 2025

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern all purchases, engagements, and interactions with Venture Flow (“we,” “us,” “our”). By purchasing any service, including the Breakpoint Diagnostic or any Implementation Project, you (“Client,” “you,” “your”) agree to these Terms in full.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not purchase or participate in our services.

1. DEFINITIONS

1.1 Services
“Services” refer to any diagnostic session, implementation project, advisory, consulting, or strategic work provided by Venture Flow.

1.2 Breakpoint Stability Plan
A 1:1 diagnostic session, including assessment, a live call, and a written summary.

1.3 Implementation Projects
Any done-for-you, technical, operational, or build-related project delivered by us, including setup, audits, mapping, automation, dashboards, or system configuration.

1.4 Project Start
A project is considered “started” when any of the following occur:
• kickoff call is held
• access to systems or accounts is granted
• discovery, review, or asset analysis begins
• internal project mapping or preparation begins

1.5 Client Silence / Unresponsiveness
“Silence” means no replies, no progress, and no required activity for 30 consecutive days.

2. PAYMENT TERMS

2.1 Payment Due at Purchase
All services require full payment at the time of booking unless otherwise specified in a written payment plan.

2.2 Deposits
If a deposit is offered, it secures your project slot and is non-refundable.

2.3 Automatic Billing for Payment Plans
If you enrol in a payment plan, you authorize automatic billing on the scheduled dates using the payment method on file.

2.4 Late or Failed Payments
If a payment fails, services may be paused until resolved. Persistent non-payment may result in termination.

3. REFUND POLICY

3.1 Breakpoint Stability Plan — Refunds
All sales for the Breakpoint Stability Plan are final and non-refundable, as the service includes immediate preparation, analysis, and a written deliverable.

3.2 Implementation Projects — Refunds
Before Start: A refund may be issued only if the project has not yet begun (see Section 1.4).
After Start: Once the project begins, no refunds will be issued, as time, expertise, and resources are allocated continuously.
Deposits: Deposits are non-refundable in all cases.

4. SCHEDULING & NON-ATTENDANCE

4.1 Breakpoint Stability Plan Session Rescheduling
You may reschedule your session once with at least 24 hours’ notice.

4.2 Non-Attendance
If you do not attend the session:
• You may reschedule one final time within 30 days of the original booking.
• After 30 days, the session is marked as delivered and no further rescheduling or refunds apply.

A second no-show is considered completed and cannot be rescheduled.

5. IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT RESCHEDULING & TIMELINES

5.1 Missed Calls
If you miss the kickoff or any scheduled working session, you may reschedule once within 30 days. Additional missed sessions may require a timeline change or restart fee.

5.2 Client-Driven Delays
Any delay on your side (assets, approvals, access, communication) extends the timeline and does not trigger refunds.

6. CLIENT RESPONSIVENESS

6.1 30-Day Silence Rule
If you become unresponsive for 30 consecutive days, the project is automatically paused.

“Unresponsive” includes:
• no replies to email or messages
• no submission of required access or assets
• missed calls without rescheduling
• no communication requesting extension
• no progress on tasks blocking delivery

6.2 Reactivation After Pause
To resume a paused project:
• a revised timeline will be provided
• a reactivation or restart fee may apply depending on scope

6.3 60-Day Extended Inactivity
If silence continues beyond 60 days, the project may be closed. Closed projects are not eligible for refund.
Payment plan obligations remain enforceable unless a written termination is approved by Venture Flow.

7. PAYMENT PLANS

7.1 Availability
Payment plans may be offered for certain implementation projects at Venture Flow’s discretion.
