Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: September 2026

These Terms and Conditions apply to services provided by CD Consulting Inc..

By engaging CD Consulting Inc., accepting a proposal, paying an invoice, signing an agreement or instructing us to commence work, you agree to these Terms and Conditions unless otherwise agreed in writing.

1. Our Services

2. Payment

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

Payment is required before services commence.

CD Consulting Inc. is not required to begin recruitment, sourcing, training, project management or other services until the applicable invoice has been paid.

Payments must be made according to the terms shown on the invoice or proposal.

For larger Team Build or Philippines Office Launch projects, payment may be divided into stages or milestones where agreed in writing.

Third-party expenses are additional unless expressly included in the proposal.

3. No Refunds

Because CD Consulting Inc. commits time, recruitment resources, sourcing activity, project management and other resources once an engagement begins, payments are generally non-refundable.

No refund will be provided because:

• A client changes its mind
• A position is withdrawn
• Hiring requirements change
• The client decides not to proceed with shortlisted candidates
• Internal circumstances change
• The client chooses another recruitment provider
• The client recruits independently after the engagement has commenced

Nothing in these Terms excludes any refund or remedy that must legally be provided under applicable law.

4. Recruitment Process

CD Consulting Inc. will use reasonable professional efforts to identify and introduce candidates we believe may be suitable for the client's requirements.

Recruitment services may include:

• Candidate sourcing
• Screening
• Interviews
• Shortlisting
• Reference checking
• Salary negotiation support
• Onboarding coordination

The final hiring decision remains entirely with the client.

Clients are responsible for conducting any additional background checks, legal checks, employment verification, technical assessments or other due diligence they consider necessary.

5. No Guarantee of Candidate Performance

CD Consulting Inc. cannot guarantee:

• Individual employee performance
• Employee productivity
• Candidate conduct
• Employee retention
• Future employment duration
• Business performance
• Revenue
• Profitability
• Cost savings
• Sales results
• Specific commercial outcomes

Any information regarding potential salary savings, workforce savings, productivity improvements or business benefits is provided for general and illustrative purposes only.

Actual results depend on the role, candidate, employment structure, management, compensation, working conditions and circumstances of the business.

6. Three-Month Replacement Policy

Where the applicable recruitment service includes a replacement provision, CD Consulting Inc. will provide one replacement recruitment search without an additional recruitment fee if the placed candidate's employment or engagement ends within the first three months from their commencement date.

The replacement provision is subject to the client:

• Having paid all invoices in full
• Not materially changing the role after recruitment
• Providing reasonable onboarding and management
• Paying the employee as agreed
• Providing appropriate working conditions
• Not making the position redundant
• Not terminating the employee because the client's business circumstances have changed
• Not materially changing working hours, compensation or responsibilities without agreement

The replacement policy covers a replacement recruitment search only.

It does not constitute a refund.

After the initial three-month period has expired, no free replacement obligation applies.

Any additional recruitment required after that period will be treated as a new recruitment engagement and charged accordingly.

• Customer service systems
• Marketing systems
• AI tools

Training is designed to improve candidate readiness but does not guarantee performance or mastery of any platform or process.

The client remains responsible for training the employee on its own internal policies, products, culture, proprietary systems and procedures.
