B2B SERVICE TERMS | PRIMAL AXIS

1. THE AGREEMENT

1.1 Acceptance: Settlement of any invoice issued by The Primal Axis constitutes a formal and binding acceptance of these Service Terms. 1.2 Scope: These terms govern the "Protocol Initiation," the "14-Day Observation," and all subsequent "Rolling Axis Management" services provided by Gary West (the "Architect").

2. SETTLEMENT PROTOCOL

2.1 Payment Terms: All invoices are due within 48 hours of issuance via Direct Bank Transfer (BACS/FPS). 2.2 Suspension: Failure to remit settlement within the 48-hour window results in the immediate suspension of all scheduled diagnostics and the revocation of active Protocol access. 2.3 Non-Refundable Terms: Due to the bespoke nature of the Structural Audit and Diagnostic phase, the initial Protocol Initiation fee is non-refundable once the 14-day Observation has commenced.

3. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (IP) ARCHITECTURE

3.1 Ownership: All methodologies, frameworks (including the "Primal Axis" and "Red Knot" systems), digital assets, and strategic documents remain the exclusive Intellectual Property of Gary West. 3.2 Licensing: The Client is granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to utilise these frameworks solely for internal operational use. 3.3 Restrictions: The Client shall not replicate, redistribute, or sell any Primal Axis IP to third parties. 3.4 Termination of Access: Upon termination of the Service Agreement, all licenses to use Primal Axis proprietary materials are immediately revoked.

4. OPERATIONAL LICENSING (HEADCOUNT)

4.1 Variable Fees: Licensing fees are calculated per "Operative" (staff member/contractor) within the Client's organisation. 4.2 Audit Rights: The Architect reserves the right to verify headcount during the Observation period. 4.3 Adjustments: If the operative count increases during the deployment, the Client’s recurring monthly investment will be adjusted on the subsequent invoice to reflect the new scale.

5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

5.1 Strategic Advisory: The Primal Axis provides architectural strategy and high-level advisory. The implementation of these strategies and the resulting business outcomes remain the sole responsibility of the Client’s leadership. 5.2 Losses: Gary West / The Primal Axis shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, or consequential financial losses, data loss, or operational downtime resulting from the application of the Protocol.
