2.3  We reserve the right to update, change, or improve our Services at any time, provided such changes do not materially reduce the agreed value or scope. 

2.4  Olea Pacific Advisory provides strategic advisory services only. We do not provide financial, legal, tax, accounting, investment, or other regulated professional advice. Any information provided regarding market conditions, procurement pathways, institutional dynamics, or strategic positioning is general in nature and based on our professional knowledge and experience. It does not constitute legal or financial advice, nor does it guarantee any particular outcome. Clients should obtain independent professional advice before making financial, legal, or investment decisions. 

2.5  Our advisory work operates at the pre-engagement stage. Olea Pacific Advisory does not provide delivery, implementation, or partnership execution services. Where such support is required, we will direct clients to appropriate resources. 

2.6  All advisory insights, analysis, and strategic guidance provided by Olea Pacific Advisory are based exclusively on publicly available and open-source information, including published government policy, publicly released defence and space capability documents, official agency communications, industry publications, and other openly accessible sources. Olea Pacific Advisory does not hold, access, disclose, or trade in classified, protected, or otherwise restricted government information. No advice provided by Olea Pacific Advisory should be construed as being based on non-public, classified, or sensitive government material of any kind. 

2.7  Olea Pacific Advisory will provide all Services with reasonable care and skill, in accordance with generally accepted professional standards. 

3. Confidentiality & Information Handling 

3.1  Given the sensitive and commercially significant nature of the matters discussed during advisory engagements, Olea Pacific Advisory treats all information shared by clients as strictly confidential. 

3.2  We will not disclose, share, or use client information for any purpose other than the provision of agreed Services, except where required by law. 

3.3  Clients acknowledge that advisory engagements may involve discussion of sensitive government, defence, or commercial matters. Clients are responsible for ensuring they have appropriate authority to disclose any information shared during sessions. 

3.4  Clients must not share, present, or transmit any classified, protected, or security-controlled information during advisory sessions or as part of any engagement with Olea Pacific Advisory. Olea Pacific Advisory is not authorised to receive, hold, or advise on classified or security-controlled material, and accepts no responsibility for any information of that nature that is disclosed to us. 

3.5  Olea Pacific Advisory respects your privacy and handles personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). 

3.6  Personal and organisational information shared during engagements will be stored securely and used solely for the purposes of delivering Services and maintaining our business relationship.

5.5  Olea Pacific Advisory does not provide refunds for change of mind once an engagement has commenced or a deliverable has been provided, unless otherwise required by law. 

6. Client Obligations 

6.1  To enable effective advisory support, you agree to: 

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information relevant to your objectives and the scope of Services; 
• Engage honestly and constructively during sessions and throughout the engagement; 
• Ensure that any information shared with Olea Pacific Advisory is not subject to restrictions that would prevent its disclosure; and 
• Complete any preparatory materials or background briefs reasonably requested prior to sessions. 

6.2  You acknowledge that advisory outcomes depend on the quality of information provided, the accuracy of your organisational objectives, and external market conditions beyond our control. Olea Pacific Advisory does not guarantee specific market entry outcomes, partnership results, procurement success, or commercial returns.
