NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS

1.1 "Services" means the tasks described in Section 2 and any additional services agreed in writing. "Application" means any form, petition, or submission to an administrative authority seeking citizenship or related status on Applicant's behalf.

2. SCOPE OF SERVICES

Provider will provide the following Services on the terms of this Agreement:

Provider shall prepare the Application, advise Applicant regarding required documentary evidence, review Applicant submissions for completeness and accuracy, file documents with the appropriate administrative body when authorized by Applicant, and represent Applicant at interviews or hearings only where expressly agreed in writing. Provider does not and will not guarantee any particular result or outcome.

3. APPLICANT OBLIGATIONS

Applicant shall timely provide complete and accurate information and all documents requested by Provider. Applicant warrants that all information and documentation provided to Provider is true, complete, and not misleading. Applicant shall promptly notify Provider in writing of any change in circumstances that may affect the Application or Services.

Applicant acknowledges the duty to disclose any prior denials, removals, criminal convictions, or material facts relevant to eligibility, and agrees to execute affidavits and authorizations necessary for Provider to perform Services.

4. FEES, RETAINER AND PAYMENT

Fees do not include government filing fees, translation costs, third-party service charges, courier expenses, or other disbursements, which shall be paid by Applicant when incurred. Retainer is earned upon receipt and will be applied against fees and costs; any unused retainer will be refunded except where expressly designated as non-refundable above.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY; PRIVILEGE

Provider shall maintain the confidentiality of all communications and records exchanged in connection with the Services except as required by law or court order, or to the extent disclosure is necessary to perform the Services (including disclosure to translators, investigators, or governmental authorities). To the extent applicable law recognizes a privilege or similar protection for communications with Provider, such privilege shall be preserved and may be waived only by written authorization of Applicant.

6. AUTHORIZATION TO OBTAIN RECORDS

Applicant authorizes Provider to request and receive records, including but not limited to birth, marriage, criminal, immigration, employment, education, and other governmental records, to prepare the Application and to represent Applicant. Applicant will execute separate authorizations as required by third-party record holders.

7. NO GUARANTEE OF OUTCOME

Provider makes no promise or guarantee regarding the success of any Application, decision, or administrative outcome. Any statement regarding potential results is an opinion only and not a warranty. Provider will provide candid assessments based on available facts and law.

8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each Party represents that it has the authority to enter into this Agreement, that the entering into and performance under this Agreement do not violate any other agreement, and that all information provided to the other Party is true and accurate to the best of its knowledge. Applicant warrants continuing candor and cooperation.

9. INDEMNIFICATION; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Applicant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Provider and its agents from and against any claims, liabilities, losses, or expenses arising from Applicant's failure to provide truthful or complete information or from Applicant's breach of this Agreement. Except for willful misconduct or gross negligence, Provider's liability to Applicant for any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be limited to the amounts actually paid by Applicant to Provider under this Agreement.

10. TERMINATION

Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party if the other Party materially breaches any obligation under this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within fourteen (14) days after receipt of written notice.
