Terms of Service

These Terms govern access to and use ofmovahedi.caand describe general conditions that apply to consulting and advisory relationships with Mohammad Movahedi.

Effective / last updated:

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms and ourPrivacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

Paid or formal consulting work is governed primarily by a separate proposal, statement of work (SOW), engagement letter, or master services agreement. If those documents conflict with these Terms, the signed engagement documents control for that engagement.

Content on this site—including articles, service descriptions, frameworks, and profiles—is provided for general information and professional thought leadership. You may browse and share links for lawful, non-commercial reference with attribution. You may not:

  • Scrape, bulk-download, or republish substantial portions of the site without prior written permission.
  • Misrepresent affiliation with Mohammad Movahedi or imply endorsement without consent.
  • Attempt to probe, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to the site, forms, or related infrastructure.
  • Use the site to send spam, malware, or unlawful content.
  • Reverse engineer or misuse interactive tools (e.g., quizzes, configurators) beyond ordinary use.

We may suspend or block access that we reasonably believe violates these Terms or threatens security or availability.

Service pages describe typical offerings (privacy and data governance, AI governance, process excellence, custom solutions, media/branding data practices, and fractional advisory). Descriptions are illustrative, not fixed offers.

  • No automatic engagement:Submitting a form, booking a discovery call, or downloading a resource does not create a consulting relationship or guarantee availability.
  • Scope:Deliverables, timelines, fees, dependencies, and acceptance criteria are defined only in signed engagement documents.
  • Client responsibilities:Timely access to stakeholders, systems, and accurate information is typically required for effective work; delays may affect schedule and outcomes.
  • Independence:Unless expressly agreed in writing, engagements are independent contractor / advisory relationships—not employment, partnership, or joint venture.

Site content and informal discussions donot constitute legal advice, legal opinions, or the practice of law. Privacy, AI, and compliance guidance is professional consulting informed by industry practice and certifications (including CIPP/C) but is not a substitute for advice from a licensed lawyer or other regulated professional for your specific facts.

5.1 Site content

Unless otherwise noted, text, design, graphics, logos, and original materials on this site are owned by Mohammad Movahedi or used under license. All rights reserved. Limited quotation with attribution and link-back for commentary or education is welcome; wholesale reuse requires permission.

5.2 Engagement work product

Ownership of deliverables created under a paid engagement is set in the SOW or engagement letter. Typical default (unless negotiated otherwise):

  • Client materials:documents, data, and pre-existing IP you provide remain yours.
  • Custom deliverables:finalized work product created uniquely for you (e.g., your policies, RACI charts, roadmaps branded for your organization) is assigned or licensed to you as specified in the engagement documents upon full payment.
  • Pre-existing tools & know-how:frameworks, templates, methodologies, checklists, and generic accelerators that I bring to an engagement remain my IP. You receive a non-exclusive license to use them internally as incorporated into your deliverables, unless a broader license is agreed in writing.
  • Portfolio use:With your consent or after reasonable anonymization, I may reference high-level project types for professional marketing, never disclosing confidential client information.

I treat non-public business, technical, and personal information shared in a professional context as confidential, subject to:

  • Mutual confidentiality terms in an NDA or engagement letter when executed.
  • Legal disclosure obligations (e.g., lawful process) and professional or ethical duties.
  • Information that is or becomes public through no fault of the receiving party, independently developed, or rightfully received from a third party without duty of confidence.

Do not send highly sensitive secrets (production credentials, full datasets of personal information, sealed legal strategy) through public website forms. Use agreed secure channels once an engagement is underway.

7. Your submissions

If you submit information via forms or email, you represent that you have the right to share it and that it is accurate to the best of your knowledge. You grant me a limited license to use that information to respond and, if we engage, to perform services. Personal information is handled under the Privacy Policy.

The site may link to LinkedIn, GitHub, scheduling tools, or other third-party resources. Those services have their own terms and privacy practices. I am not responsible for their content or processing.

The website and its content are provided“as is” and “as available.”To the fullest extent permitted by law, I disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement regarding site content. Informal recommendations on the site are general and may not apply to your circumstances.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Mohammad Movahedi will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from use of the site. Aggregate liability arising from website use is limited to CAD $100 or the minimum permitted by law, whichever is greater. Liability for paid consulting is defined in the applicable engagement agreement (often capped at fees paid for the relevant period or deliverable).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, limitations apply only to the maximum extent permitted.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Mohammad Movahedi from claims arising out of your misuse of the site, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of third-party rights—except to the extent caused by my willful misconduct.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province ofOntario and the applicable federal laws of Canada, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Courts located in Ontario shall have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from website use, subject to any different dispute-resolution clause in a signed engagement agreement.

I may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. The “last updated” date reflects the latest revision.
