    6. Consulting Engagements

    6.1 Governing Documents

    Consulting Engagements are subject to a separate Statement of Work executed between AskHill.fyi and the Client. These Terms apply to Consulting Engagements as the baseline contractual framework. Where an executed SOW expressly addresses a matter also addressed in these Terms, the SOW governs for that matter and that engagement only.

  • Review AI outputs during validation periods and provide timely feedback
  • Notify AskHill.fyi promptly of any changes to your documents, policies, or circumstances that may affect the engagement

    • Delays attributable to your failure to meet these obligations will extend delivery timelines accordingly and will not constitute a breach by AskHill.fyi of its delivery commitments.

    6.3 Scope Changes

    Any changes to the scope defined in an executed SOW must be agreed in writing by both parties before work on the changed scope begins. AskHill.fyi reserves the right to adjust fees for scope additions. Scope changes not agreed in writing will not be binding on AskHill.fyi.
