All engagements are governed by a separate written scope of work or engagement letter. These Terms & Conditions form part of that agreement unless explicitly superseded.

6.3 Scope Changes

Changes to the agreed scope of work require mutual written agreement. Additional work falling outside the original scope will be quoted separately and must be approved before commencement.
