V-A. Advisory Value Acknowledgment

Client acknowledges:

Advisory time has independent economic value. Compensation reflects executive-level analysis and structuring. Advisory work is billable whether or not final materials are adopted. Payment is earned upon time rendered.

V-B. Payment Processor, Chargeback & Dispute Defense Protocol

Nature of Services
Services are advisory, strategic, analytical, and drafting-based. They are intangible professional services, not tangible goods.
Earned Upon Performance
Payment is earned upon time rendered. Adoption, ratification, publication, internal vote, board approval, or implementation do not affect earned compensation.
Weekly Advisory Structure
Where services are weekly:

• Each payment corresponds to services rendered during that defined weekly period.

• Payments do not prepay future weeks unless expressly stated in writing.

• Completion of a paid week satisfies the economic exchange for that period.

• A pause at the start of a new billing cycle does not retroactively affect completed and paid work.

4. Documentation Record
Company maintains written records of:

• Email correspondence

• Drafted documents

• Shared folder uploads

• Advisory communications

• Access logs

• Timestamped production records

Client acknowledges that shared document uploads, written approvals, meeting participation, and continued engagement constitute confirmation that services were rendered.

5. Payment Disputes
If a processor dispute or chargeback is initiated: Company may provide engagement records, timestamps, correspondence, and documentation to the processor. A dispute does not invalidate advisory services performed. Any reversed balance remains contractually due.

6. Good-Faith Billing Structure
Flexible billing accommodations do not waive enforcement of these Terms.

7. No Refund Structure
Advisory services are time-based and non-reversible once rendered.

V-C. Calendar-Based Engagement Clarification

Where engagement is initiated by Client-uploaded materials, document sharing, or written instruction to begin services:

• The upload date constitutes commencement of advisory analysis and structuring.

• Advisory services begin upon receipt of materials where direction to proceed is provided.

• Engagement start date is determined by first substantive advisory activity, not invoices.

• Subsequent invoicing formalizes compensation but does not negate earlier advisory time rendered in reliance upon Client direction.

Client acknowledges that advisory work may begin prior to formal invoice processing where materials are provided for immediate structuring.

V-D. Recorded Call & Engagement Acknowledgment Protocol Framework

Where recorded or documented calls occur:

• Engagement expectations discussed verbally may constitute confirmation of commencement.

• Client acknowledgment of advisory direction during calls supports performance recognition.

• Subsequent document uploads, revisions, or written confirmations affirm engagement.

Verbal and written sequencing together may establish advisory progression, even where formal scope evolves.

V-E. Good-Faith Planning Anchor Clarification

Where future dates are referenced in written communication as planning anchors:

• Such dates are not contractually binding unless expressly incorporated into an agreement.

• Planning anchors may extend beyond strict calendar duration for logistical preparedness.

• Good-faith sequencing references do not create automatic extension obligations.

• Engagement duration is governed by paid billing cadence and written confirmation.

VI. Communication Protocols

All approvals and revisions must be in writing.

Verbal statements are non-binding.

Advisory services remain billable regardless of subsequent governance modification.

VIII-B. Weekly Advisory Engagement Structure

• Payment reflects services rendered during that specific week. Payments do not prepay future weeks unless stated. Engagement may pause at conclusion of any fully paid week.
