1. Advisory Services
The content provided on this website is for informational purposes and does not constitute binding operational, financial, or legal advice. Official advisory relationships are established solely through formal engagement contracts.
2. Intellectual Property
The "Larch Blend Lab Diagnostics Framework," intervention protocols, and all associated methodologies detailed on this site are proprietary intellectual property of Larch Blend Lab.
3. Limitation of Liability
Larch Blend Lab is not liable for operational decisions made based solely on the public insights or frameworks presented on this website.
4. Engagement Terms
Formal advisory engagements — including Discovery & Audit, Gap Analysis, Blueprinting, and Implementation Oversight phases — are governed exclusively by the Statement of Work executed between Larch Blend Lab and the client organization. Nothing on this website constitutes an offer to enter such an agreement; it is provided for informational purposes only.
5. Indemnification
The client organization agrees to indemnify Larch Blend Lab against claims arising from unauthorized use of our proprietary methodologies outside the scope of an active engagement, or from a breach of the confidentiality provisions described in our Privacy Policy.
6. Termination
Either party may terminate an active engagement for uncured material breach following 30 days' written notice. Confidentiality, intellectual property, and limitation-of-liability provisions survive termination.
7. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan. Disputes that cannot be resolved directly between the parties will proceed to good-faith mediation prior to formal proceedings.
8. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms as our advisory practice evolves. The Effective Date above reflects the current version; continued use of this website following a revision constitutes acceptance.
9. Severability
If a provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force, structured to preserve the original operational intent.
10. Assignment
You may not assign or transfer any rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of our advisory practice, provided the assignee agrees to honor any active Statement of Work.
11. Force Majeure
Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform an obligation under an active engagement where the delay results from circumstances reasonably beyond that party's control, including but not limited to natural disaster, labor dispute, or government action. The affected party will notify the other promptly and resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable.
12. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with any Statement of Work or Master Services Agreement executed between the parties, constitute the entire agreement between Larch Blend Lab and the client regarding the subject matter herein, and supersede any prior discussions or proposals not incorporated into a signed document.
13. Website Use Restrictions
You may not scrape, reverse-engineer, or systematically extract the Diagnostics Framework content, case study data, or capability descriptions published on this site for use in a competing advisory offering. Reasonable personal or internal-evaluation use of published materials is permitted.
14. Eligibility
Our advisory services are offered to organizations and the executives authorized to represent them. By initiating an engagement you confirm you hold that authority.
