These Terms explain how this website may be used and set out some important points about Blue Oceans Advisors and its services. They are intended to inform anyone who visits the website.

These Website Terms of Use ("Terms") set out information concerning access to and use of this website (the "Website"), published by Blue Oceans Advisors, Jerome Vecchi, Principal ("Blue Oceans Advisors", "we", "us").

The Website presents Blue Oceans Advisors' consulting business, the types of engagements it undertakes, selected case studies, and contact information for prospective clients and other business contacts. No functionality on the Website allows a contract to be concluded online.

These Terms apply only to use of the Website. They are not, and should not be read as, an engagement letter, consulting agreement, master services agreement, statement of work, or any other contract for consulting services. The Website content does not constitute investment, legal, tax, or regulatory advice.

Our handling of personal data, including data you provide by contacting us, is described separately in our Privacy Policy.

Content on the Website is provided for general informational and business-development purposes. We take care to keep it accurate and current, but it may not always reflect the most recent developments.

Viewing the Website, or contacting us using the details published on it, does not create a consulting engagement, an advisory relationship, or any other contractual relationship. Any consulting engagement is governed by separately agreed contractual documentation. Preliminary discussions, including by email, do not by themselves create a consulting engagement.

Case studies on the Website are drawn from professional experience and are condensed, and where necessary anonymised or generalised, for public presentation. Confidential or proprietary information belonging to any client, former client, employer, former employer, or other third party is not disclosed. Case studies illustrate the type of work we undertake; they are not a guarantee that comparable results would be achieved in other circumstances, and some described experience may predate the establishment of Blue Oceans Advisors.

Copyright and other applicable intellectual-property rights in the text, structure, and original graphics on the Website belong to Blue Oceans Advisors or its licensors to the extent such content is protected by law, unless stated otherwise. You are welcome to view the Website, share a link to it, and refer to publicly available content for ordinary personal or internal business purposes. Reproducing, republishing, commercially exploiting, or materially modifying Website content is not permitted without our prior written consent.

The "Blue Oceans Advisors" name identifies our business. This Section does not grant any right to use it.

Please do not send confidential, proprietary, or client-related information by email on the assumption that an advisory or confidentiality relationship already exists — none arises merely from contacting us. If you need to share information requiring special protection, please raise this with us first so that an appropriate arrangement can be put in place. This Section does not affect any confidentiality obligation that may separately apply, whether by agreement or under law.

We aim to keep the Website accessible but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. Content, functionality, and these Terms may be updated, suspended, or discontinued at any time, without prior notice. Please do not attempt to interfere with the Website's operation or security.

Blue Oceans Advisors takes reasonable care over the content of the Website. To the extent permitted by the law applicable in the circumstances, we do not accept liability for loss arising from use of the Website, or from temporary unavailability or technical error. Nothing in this Section limits or excludes any liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

This Section governs only use of the Website. It does not determine liability under any consulting engagement, which is addressed separately in the applicable engagement documentation.

We may update the Website and these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our business, our services, or applicable law. The version published on the Website at any given time is the current version. The date below reflects the most recent update.

Blue Oceans Advisors operates the Website from Switzerland. Questions concerning the law applicable to the Website or these Terms, and the competent jurisdiction for any dispute, are determined in accordance with applicable law.
