Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 3, 2026

Welcome to Rochester & Associates. By accessing our website or engaging our consulting services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully.

1. Consulting Services & Engagement

  • Scope of Work: The specific consulting services, deliverables, timelines, and fees will be governed by a separate, mutually executed Statement of Work (SOW) or Professional Services Agreement (PSA). These Terms of Service act as the baseline framework for those agreements.

  • Client Cooperation: Our ability to deliver services depends on your timely cooperation, including providing accurate data, access to necessary personnel, and prompt feedback.

2. Fees, Invoicing, and Payment

  • You agree to pay Rochester & Associates the fees outlined in your specific SOW or agreement.

  • Unless otherwise stated, invoices are due within 30 days of issuance. Late payments may incur interest charges or result in a temporary suspension of services.

3. Intellectual Property Rights

  • Our Property: All methodologies, templates, tools, software, and materials developed or owned by Rochester & Associates prior to or independently of our engagement remain our exclusive property.

  • Deliverables: Upon full payment of all outstanding invoices, the specific final reports, presentations, or custom deliverables created explicitly for you will become your property, subject to any retained rights we require to perform our business.

4. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep all non-public business, financial, and technical information disclosed during the engagement strictly confidential. This obligation extends beyond the termination of our services.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Rochester & Associates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, resulting from your reliance on our consulting advice or deliverables. Our total liability for any claim arising out of our services shall not exceed the total amount paid by you to us for the specific service giving rise to the claim.

6. Governing Law

These Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide you services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Rochester & Associates is primary headquartered, without regard to conflict of law principles.

7. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new terms on our website with an updated effective date. Your continued engagement with us following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
