2. General information
The website content is provided for information only.
The text, pages, examples, guides, service descriptions, downloadable content, communications, and other materials presented on this website are provided for general informational purposes only.

3. No automatic client relationship
Using the website does not create an advisory mandate.
Visiting this website, completing a form, sending an email, or booking a call does not automatically create a client-advisor relationship, professional obligation, broad confidentiality obligation, or service mandate with Girouard Conseil TI.
A professional relationship is established only when a proposal, service agreement, or other applicable document is accepted in writing by the relevant parties.
4. Professional services
Services are governed by separate agreements.
Girouard Conseil TI provides independent IT advisory, external IT leadership, technology decision support, IT governance, vendor evaluation, executive oversight of IT projects, IT budget review, and strategic guidance related to IT risks.
The services, deliverables, responsibilities, limitations, fees, timelines, confidentiality obligations, termination rights, and other terms applicable to a mandate must be defined in a separate proposal or agreement.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Girouard Conseil TI does not provide daily IT support, managed IT services, software or hardware resale, technical implementation, system administration, continuous operational monitoring, or managed technical cybersecurity services.

Unless otherwise indicated, the text, structure, visual elements, names, marks, logos, pages, concepts, documents, guides, downloadable content, and other website materials are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
You may consult the content for your internal information needs, but you may not reproduce, publish, modify, distribute, sell, substantially copy, or commercially exploit it without prior written authorization.
7. Third-party links and platforms
Some links lead to external services.
The website may contain links to Microsoft Bookings, LinkedIn, form tools, booking platforms, service providers, external resources, or other third-party websites.

Privacy is governed by our policy and applicable agreements.
Personal information submitted through the website, a form, email, or Microsoft Bookings is handled according to our Privacy Policy and applicable laws.
You should avoid submitting highly sensitive information, trade secrets, detailed technical data, passwords, access credentials, confidential configurations, or internal documents that are not necessary before an appropriate framework has been established.
Once a mandate is accepted, more specific confidentiality obligations may be included in the applicable service agreement.

The website may be changed, interrupted, or updated.
Girouard Conseil TI may modify, suspend, remove, update, or make unavailable all or part of the website, its content, or its features at any time and without notice.
We make reasonable efforts to maintain a professional and functional website, but we do not guarantee that the website will be available at all times, error-free, uninterrupted, or free of vulnerabilities.

The website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without express or implied warranties, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Girouard Conseil TI does not warrant that the content will be complete, accurate, current, suitable for your specific situation, or sufficient to make a business, technology, legal, financial, or compliance decision without additional review.
12. Governing law and territory
These terms should be adapted to the final applicable law.
Subject to mandatory laws that may apply, these terms are intended to be interpreted according to the laws applicable in the province of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
Girouard Conseil TI may serve organizations in Quebec, Canada, the United States, Australia, and elsewhere depending on the context. Mandatory rights of visitors, consumers, or individuals in other jurisdictions may continue to apply where the law requires.
This section should be legally reviewed, especially if the firm enters mandates with clients outside Quebec or Canada.
