5. Client Responsibilities and Approvals

The Client agrees to provide timely feedback, necessary assets (e.g., logos, content), and clear communication to facilitate the smooth execution of the Project. BPMG will rely on the Client for approvals at key milestones as defined in the SOW. Delays in receiving Client feedback or approval may result in an adjustment of the project timeline and may incur additional costs.

6. Confidentiality

Both BPMG and the Client agree to maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information shared by the other party ("Confidential Information"). This includes business strategies, financial information, and trade secrets. This obligation will survive the termination of our engagement.

7. Term and Termination
