Terms & Conditions

01 — Scope of these terms

These terms govern the relationship between Verdulo ("we", "us", "our") and the client or website visitor ("you"). They apply to all advisory engagements described on our website and to any use of the website itself.

Specific engagement terms may be set out in a written engagement letter or statement of work. Where there is a conflict between those documents and these general terms, the engagement letter or statement of work will take precedence for matters specific to that engagement.

02 — Nature of our services

Verdulo provides advisory and reporting-design services in the area of sustainability and ESG. Our work is advisory in nature and encompasses:

• Materiality reading engagements — advisory process to identify and document the sustainability topics most material to a company and its stakeholders
• Reporting architecture reviews — advisory review of a company's indicator set, framework alignment, and reporting structure
• Climate risk workshops — facilitated sessions to develop a reading of climate-related risk exposure and adaptation considerations

Our services do not constitute licensed financial, legal, or assurance advice. We do not conduct external audits or verify the accuracy of data provided by clients for the purposes of third-party assurance statements.

03 — Engagement process

An engagement commences when both parties have agreed to a written engagement letter or statement of work that sets out the scope, deliverables, timeline, and fee. Website enquiries and introductory conversations do not constitute an agreement to provide services.

We reserve the right to decline an enquiry or engagement at our discretion, including where we consider that the work requested is outside the scope of our advisory practice.

We will make reasonable efforts to complete each engagement within the agreed timeframe. Timelines may be affected by factors outside our control, including the availability of information and the responsiveness of stakeholders. We will communicate any anticipated delay promptly.

04 — Fees and payment

Fees for our standard engagements are published on our website and denominated in Thai Baht (฿). The published fee is the total fee for the engagement as described, unless the engagement letter specifies otherwise.

Payment terms will be set out in the engagement letter. Invoices are payable within the period stated on the invoice. We reserve the right to suspend work on an engagement where a payment is materially overdue after notice has been given.

All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes unless otherwise stated. Where VAT or other tax is applicable, it will be shown separately on the invoice.

05 — Intellectual property

Upon receipt of full payment for an engagement, we assign to you the right to use the written outputs produced specifically for your engagement — including materiality readings, architecture review documents, workshop records, and companion briefs — for the internal purposes for which they were prepared.

We retain the right to use the general methodologies, frameworks, approaches, and know-how developed in the course of our advisory practice, provided that we do not disclose your confidential information.

The Verdulo name, logo, and website content remain our intellectual property. You may not reproduce or use them without our written permission.

06 — Confidentiality

We treat all information you share with us in the course of an engagement as confidential. We will not disclose your confidential information to third parties except as necessary to deliver the engagement (for example, to a facilitator or specialist we engage on your behalf with your knowledge) or as required by law.

We ask that you treat any methodologies, templates, or internal processes we share with you as confidential to the engagement.

07 — Limitation of liability

Our liability to you in connection with an engagement is limited to direct loss and shall not exceed the total fee paid for the relevant engagement. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or special losses.

Our written outputs represent our advisory reading based on the information available at the time of the engagement. They do not constitute guarantees of any outcome, including regulatory compliance, investor acceptance, or stakeholder satisfaction.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable Thai law.

08 — Website use

The Verdulo website is provided for information purposes. We take care to keep information accurate and up to date, but we do not warrant that the website is free from errors or that it will be available at all times.

You may not use the website in any way that is unlawful, harmful, or that interferes with others' use of the site. We reserve the right to restrict access to the website at any time.

The website may link to external sites. We are not responsible for the content or practices of those sites.

09 — Governing law

These terms and any engagement with Verdulo are governed by the laws of Thailand. Any disputes that cannot be resolved by mutual discussion will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Thailand.
