TERMS OF SERVICE
Last updated: 2026-06-30
These Terms apply to all engagements with Epitome, operated by Alignment Studios Oy (Y-tunnus 3477835-5) ("we"). By purchasing, submitting payment, or accepting a proposal, you agree to these Terms.
1. Nature of Service
We provide assessment, direction, and strategic development across:
Perception (self-concept, positioning, expression, and creative direction for you and your work)
Performance (physiology, nervous system regulation, and self-mastery)
Unless explicitly stated, we do not execute work on your behalf. Deliverables may include written direction, frameworks, session notes, voice notes, and calls.
2. No Execution Responsibility
You are solely responsible for implementation. Our role is direction and development. Results depend on your execution and external variables outside our control. We do not manage your business or guarantee outcomes.
3. Ordering & Payment
Payment is required before work begins unless otherwise agreed in writing. Payments may be processed via Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, Apple Pay, or invoice. All prices are in EUR unless stated otherwise.
4. Delivery & Structure
Work is delivered through the service format agreed at the time of purchase. This may include:
Written documents and direction
Voice notes
Calls and video calls
Agreed communication channels
Timelines begin once any required inputs are received from you. Delays in your inputs delay delivery accordingly.
5. Service Structure
Services are delivered under 360° Epitome Formation. Scope is built individually around the variables assessed for each client, including stage, context, domain need, resources, commitment, urgency, complexity, and pressure.
Formation Consultation, Formation Kickstart, Intensive Formation, and Ongoing Formation describe the most typical ways an engagement can take form, but the actual scope, structure, duration, intensity, and specialist involvement are not limited to these and may be combined or built differently depending on what the engagement requires.
Final scope and pricing are confirmed through an individual proposal before work begins. Any typical investment figures referenced in our materials are indicative only, intended to give a general sense of range, and do not constitute a price list, a starting price, or an offer.
6. Client Responsibility
By engaging our services, you confirm that:
You have the rights to all materials you submit.
You provide accurate and complete information.
You are responsible for all decisions and actions taken on the basis of our direction.
7. Independent Specialists
Certain services are delivered by independent specialists operating under their own professional terms. Alignment Studios Oy is not responsible for services delivered by independent specialists and does not issue refunds for those services. Responsibility for those services lies with the respective specialist.
8. No Guarantees
We do not guarantee income, business results, audience growth, opportunities, or any specific outcomes. Our services constitute strategic direction and development, not outcome delivery.
9. Intellectual Property
All frameworks, systems, methodologies, and materials developed by us, including the Epitome Method™, remain our property. You receive a personal, non-transferable license to use deliverables for your own purposes. Without our written permission, you may not resell, redistribute, or incorporate our materials into products or services offered to others.
10. Confidentiality
All client materials and information shared with us are treated as confidential and will not be disclosed to third parties without your explicit approval.
11. Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our liability is limited to the amount paid for the specific service giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Finland. Any disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of Finnish courts.
