Terms & Conditions

1. Definitions

In these terms, the following words have the meanings given below:

• "We", "us", "our" — Driftwood Co, the advisory practice described in these terms.
• "You", "client" — the individual or entity engaging our services.
• "Services" — advisory sessions and support engagements described on this website and confirmed by arrangement.
• "Session notes" — written summaries, plans, or documents we produce as part of an engagement.
• "Agreement" — these terms, together with any written confirmation of an engagement between us.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By proceeding with any engagement — whether by submitting an enquiry, making a payment, or attending a session — you confirm that you have read these terms, that you are 18 years of age or older, and that you have the capacity to enter into a binding agreement. If you are engaging on behalf of a company or organisation, you confirm that you have authority to do so.

3. Nature of Our Services

Driftwood Co provides advisory, sounding board, and general operational guidance for early-stage founders and small businesses. Our work involves:

• Structured conversations to explore early ideas, assumptions, and priorities.
• Practical support for setting up non-regulated commercial operations, such as pricing, offering design, and early routines.
• Ongoing advisory relationships for founders seeking a steady, experienced perspective through the early phase.

Our services are informational and advisory in nature. They do not constitute legal advice, financial advice, investment advice, accounting services, or any other regulated professional service. Any decisions you make based on our sessions are your own responsibility.

4. Session Arrangements and Scheduling

Sessions are arranged by mutual agreement following an enquiry. We will confirm timing, format, and any preparatory expectations in writing. We ask for reasonable notice — typically 48 hours — if you need to reschedule. Repeated cancellations without notice may affect our ability to continue the engagement. We will always aim to accommodate reasonable scheduling requests where possible.

5. Fees and Payment

Our fees are as described on our website at the time of engagement:

• Founder Sounding Session: ฿3,500 (single session)
• Early Business Setup Support: ฿17,000 (multi-session engagement)
• Founder Advisory Retainer: ฿31,000 per month

All fees are quoted in Thai Baht (฿). Payment is due as confirmed in writing prior to the start of each engagement or billing period. We accept bank transfer and other methods as agreed. We reserve the right to update our fees with reasonable notice.

6. Cancellation and Refunds

For single sessions: if you cancel with more than 48 hours' notice, we will arrange a full refund or reschedule without charge. Cancellations within 48 hours of a session may be charged at the full session rate. For multi-session engagements or monthly retainers: unused portions of a pre-paid period may be eligible for a partial refund at our discretion, depending on the work already completed. We handle cancellation requests on a case-by-case basis and aim to be fair.

7. Confidentiality

We treat all information shared with us during advisory sessions as confidential. We will not disclose your business details, ideas, or personal circumstances to any third party without your consent, except where required by law. We may use aggregated and anonymised insights — without identifying you — to inform our general advisory work. If you prefer to have a mutual non-disclosure agreement in place before sessions begin, please let us know.

8. Intellectual Property

Ownership of intellectual property produced during our work together is as follows:

• Session notes, priority plans, and setup outlines we produce are provided for your personal use in connection with the engagement.
• Underlying frameworks, methodologies, and working tools we use remain the property of Driftwood Co.
• All website content, including text and design, is the property of Driftwood Co. You may not reproduce it without our written permission.

9. User Responsibilities

To get the most from our working relationship and to keep it productive, we ask that you: engage honestly and share relevant context about your situation; attend arranged sessions or give reasonable notice if unable to; use session notes and outputs responsibly and for their intended purpose; not use our services for anything unlawful or inappropriate. We reserve the right to end an engagement if conduct makes a productive working relationship no longer possible.

10. Disclaimers

Our advisory work draws on experience and genuine effort to be useful to you. However, we make no representations about outcomes. Business results depend on many factors outside our control, including your own decisions and the broader environment. Our services are provided for informational and discussion purposes only. Nothing we say constitutes legal, financial, or investment advice, and you should seek appropriate qualified professionals for matters requiring licensed expertise.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Thai law, Driftwood Co's total liability in connection with any engagement shall not exceed the fees paid by you for the relevant service. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or incidental losses arising from our advisory services, including loss of revenue, loss of business opportunity, or decisions taken in reliance on session discussions. Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud or death and personal injury caused by our negligence.

12. Termination

Either party may bring an engagement to a close with reasonable written notice. For monthly retainers, a full calendar month's notice is appropriate. Upon termination, any outstanding fees for work already carried out remain payable. Provisions relating to confidentiality, intellectual property, and liability survive termination.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Thailand. If a dispute arises, we ask that you first contact us directly so we can work towards a resolution. If direct resolution is not possible, disputes will be referred to the courts of Bangkok, Thailand, which shall have exclusive jurisdiction.

14. General

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force. Our failure to enforce any term at a particular time does not waive our right to enforce it later. These terms represent the full agreement between us regarding their subject matter and supersede any prior discussions on the same topics.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms periodically. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates when they were last revised. We will notify existing clients of material changes by email where possible. Continued engagement with our services following an update signifies acceptance of the revised terms.
