The contract is
the signed letter.
Engagements begin only after a written acceptance is exchanged between the founder of Wiele Group and an authorised signatory of the engaging party. A petition is not a contract. A reply to a petition is not a contract. A diagnostic call is not a contract. The contract is the signed letter.
Wiele Group reserves the absolute right to decline any petition, at any stage, without explanation.
Stated in
EUR.
All prices are stated in EUR exclusive of any applicable VAT or sales tax. Single-tier engagements (Hearing, Seat, Ledger) are payable in advance. Sovereign retainers are billed monthly in advance for the duration of the standing engagement.
Authored by the
founder.
Each tier has its institutional deliverables published on the corresponding service page. Deliverables are authored by the founder. There is no agency layer, no junior pass, no offshore subcontractor.
One revision pass is included unless otherwise agreed in writing. Drafts are not iterated through unlimited rounds. The work is right the first time, or it is corrected once.
Treated as
confidential.
The fact of engagement, the doctrine authored, and the materials produced are treated as confidential to the engaging party unless permission to cite is granted in writing.
Wiele Group reserves the right to disclose the existence of an engagement only to the extent required for category-defence purposes, and only after written notice to the engaging party.
One brand per
defended category.
Wiele Group will not retain two brands competing in the same defended category at the same time. The seat is exclusive while held.
"Defended category" is defined narrowly and in writing at the start of the engagement. Categories outside the defined defence remain available to other engagements.
Thirty days,
in writing.
Single-engagement tiers (Hearing, Seat, Ledger) terminate on delivery of the contracted deliverables. Refunds are not offered after work has commenced.
Sovereign retainers may be terminated by either party with thirty days' notice in writing. Pre-paid retainer fees for the notice period remain payable. The engaging party retains the published assets authored during the retainer; ongoing schema and content pipelines cease at the end of the notice period.
Founder
word.
Engagements are accepted on the founder's word. Petitions begin with a single email; the contract is the signed letter that follows.
