2. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing this website, purchasing a service, scheduling a consultation, participating in any OPAL engagement, or submitting an inquiry that results in a confirmed engagement, the client agrees to be legally bound by these Terms and Conditions in their entirety.
Where an Organization engages OPAL services, the individual making the booking, signing the agreement, or authorising payment warrants that they have full authority to bind the organization to these terms. The organization and the individual acting on its behalf are jointly bound.
These terms apply to all engagements regardless of whether a separate service agreement has been signed. Where a separate written service agreement exists and conflicts with these terms, the service agreement will take precedence in respect of the specific conflict only. All other provisions of these terms remain in full force.
3. Nature of Services
OPAL provides advisory and analytical services designed to support personal insight, leadership development, structural self-understanding, and organizational clarity. The client acknowledges and agrees that:
All services are advisory and interpretive in nature. They do not constitute psychological diagnosis, therapy, medical advice, legal advice, financial advice, or HR compliance guidance.
Outcomes from any service cannot be guaranteed. Results will vary between individuals and organizations.
The client remains fully and solely responsible for any decisions — personal, professional, organizational, or financial — made based on insights, assessments, or communications received through OPAL services.
Engagement with OPAL does not constitute an employment relationship, partnership, joint venture, or fiduciary relationship of any kind.
Service descriptions on this website are indicative. Abbie Hallinan LLC reserves the right to adapt the delivery format, structure, or scope of any service where reasonably required, provided the core purpose of the service is maintained.
4. Engagement Formation
A binding engagement is formed when both of the following conditions have been satisfied: (a) Abbie Hallinan LLC has confirmed in writing willingness and availability to accept the engagement; and (b) full payment has been received, or a written payment plan has been agreed and the first installment received.
No work will commence prior to satisfaction of both conditions above. Submission of a contact form, inquiry, or application does not constitute a binding engagement or a guarantee of availability.
For application-based services — including The Field and The Womb Immersion — acceptance is at the sole and absolute discretion of Abbie Hallinan. Submission of an application confers no right of acceptance.
Abbie Hallinan LLC reserves the right to decline any inquiry or engagement at her sole discretion, at any time and without obligation to provide a reason.
Confirmation of payment constitutes the client's unconditional acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. No separate signature is required unless expressly stated in a service-specific agreement.
5. Corporate & Organisational Engagements
Where services are commissioned by an Organization for employees, executives, leadership teams, or other individuals, the following additional terms apply in full:
Organizational Responsibility
The Organization is solely responsible for full payment in accordance with Clause 6. The Organization is responsible for coordinating access to participants, providing accurate information, and ensuring that participants are available within agreed timeframes.
Participant Consent
The Organization warrants that it has obtained valid, informed consent from each individual participating in an OPAL assessment prior to their engagement commencing. OPAL accepts no liability for any claim arising from a failure to obtain such consent.
Individual Confidentiality
All individual participants in a Team OPAL are treated as confidential clients in their own right. Individual Core Patterns, assessment results, and reports will not be shared with the commissioning organization, other team members, or any third party without the explicit written consent of the individual to whom the information relates. This obligation applies regardless of who has paid for the engagement.
Scope Limitations
OPAL does not conduct employee performance reviews, human resources investigations, psychological evaluations, or legal assessments. OPAL assessments are interpretive structural analyzes and are not employment evaluations or performance management tools. They must not be used as the basis for employment decisions, disciplinary processes, or formal HR procedures.
Organizational Decision Liability
The Organization agrees and acknowledges that any personnel decisions, restructuring decisions, hiring or termination decisions, or organizational strategy decisions made following or in reliance upon an OPAL engagement are solely and entirely the responsibility of the Organization. Abbie Hallinan LLC accepts no liability whatsoever for any such decisions or their consequences.
Authorized Representative
The individual within the Organization who commissions, signs for, or authorises payment for an OPAL engagement warrants that they are duly authorized to enter into a binding agreement on behalf of the Organization and to bind the Organization to these terms.
6. Payment Terms
All services must be paid in full prior to commencement unless a written payment plan has been individually agreed and confirmed by Abbie Hallinan LLC.
Standard Payment
Full payment is required before any work, preparation, analysis, or session commences. No assessment, recording, session, report, or advisory communication will be initiated until full payment has been received and confirmed.
Payment Plans
Abbie Hallinan LLC may, at her sole discretion, approve a payment plan for certain services. Any such arrangement must be agreed and confirmed in writing before commencement of work. The written agreement will specify payment amounts, due dates, and the consequences of missed or late payments. Abbie Hallinan LLC is under no obligation to offer a payment plan and may decline any such request without reason. Where a payment plan is in place, failure to meet any installment by the agreed due date constitutes a material breach of these terms. Abbie Hallinan LLC reserves the right to immediately suspend all service delivery until the outstanding payment is received, or to terminate the engagement in accordance with Clause 16. Outstanding balances remain legally payable in full regardless of termination.
Currency and Fees
All prices are listed in USD unless otherwise stated at the time of engagement. Clients are solely responsible for all international bank fees, currency conversion fees, and payment processing charges applied by their financial institution or payment provider.
Taxes
All fees are quoted exclusive of applicable taxes. Clients are solely responsible for determining and complying with any tax obligations applicable in their own jurisdiction, including but not limited to VAT, GST, sales tax, or similar indirect taxes. Abbie Hallinan LLC does not collect or remit taxes on behalf of clients unless legally required to do so.
The use of a mailing address, registered agent address, or temporary physical address in any jurisdiction does not constitute the establishment of a permanent business presence in that jurisdiction. Abbie Hallinan LLC operates as a Wyoming-registered entity, and any temporary or administrative addresses do not alter its legal domicile.
No Permanent Establishment
The use of a mailing address, registered agent address, or temporary physical address in any jurisdiction does not constitute the establishment of a permanent business presence in that jurisdiction. Abbie Hallinan LLC operates as a Wyoming-registered entity, and any temporary or administrative addresses do not alter its legal domicile.
Late Payment
Where payment is not received by the agreed due date, Abbie Hallinan LLC reserves the right to suspend all work immediately and without notice until full payment is received. Abbie Hallinan LLC accepts no liability for any loss, delay, or consequence arising from such suspension.
Abbie Hallinan LLC is a United States entity operating under an Employer Identification Number (EIN) issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
7. Refund Policy
All sales are final. No refunds will be provided under any circumstances once payment has been received and work has commenced. This policy applies to all services without exception.
When Work Is Deemed to Have Commenced
Work is deemed to have commenced at the earliest of the following: (a) Abbie Hallinan LLC has initiated the assessment or analytical process; (b) a recording or subtle field session has been undertaken on the client's behalf; (c) a mentorship, integration, or advisory session has been conducted; (d) written materials, reports, or directives have been prepared in whole or in part; or (e) any substantive preparation directly related to the client's engagement has been undertaken by Abbie Hallinan, whether or not that preparation has been communicated to the client.
For Akashic Readings, work is deemed to have commenced at the point at which Abbie Hallinan has entered the subtle field session on the client's behalf, regardless of whether the recording has been delivered or the client has confirmed receipt.
For Individual OPAL and Team OPAL, work is deemed to have commenced upon receipt of the client's intake materials, or at the point at which the structural analysis process has been initiated, whichever is earlier.
Cancellation Prior to Commencement
Where a client cancels in writing before any work has commenced, Abbie Hallinan LLC may, at her sole and absolute discretion, offer a credit toward a future service. This is not an obligation, does not constitute a refund policy, and will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. No cash refund will be issued under any circumstances.
Exceptional Circumstances
In genuine exceptional circumstances — including serious medical emergency or bereavement — Abbie Hallinan LLC may, entirely at her discretion, offer a deferral, credit, or partial credit. Any such arrangement will be confirmed in writing and is without precedent or obligation for any future request.
Disputes and Concerns
If you have a concern about a service received, please contact abbiehallinan@gmail.com directly. All concerns will be addressed in good faith in accordance with Clause 22.
8. Intellectual Property
All intellectual property associated with OPAL — including the methodology, frameworks, systems, reports, and all associated materials — is the exclusive and sole property of Abbie Hallinan LLC. No intellectual property rights of any kind are transferred to the client under any circumstances.
Ownership
All intellectual property rights — including copyright, trade secrets, know-how, trademark rights, and any other proprietary rights — in and to the OPAL Methodology and all Materials are and shall remain the exclusive property of Abbie Hallinan LLC. This includes:
The OPAL structural pattern analysis methodology in its entirety
The four assessment domains, twelve pattern variables, and Core Pattern classification system
All analytical frameworks, interpretive processes, and structural architecture
All terminology, naming conventions, and descriptive language developed by Abbie Hallinan in connection with OPAL
All written reports, audio recordings, integration directives, and advisory materials
All website content, marketing materials, and descriptive copy relating to OPAL
All derivative works, adaptations, and developments of the above
No engagement with OPAL services, and no receipt or use of any deliverable, transfers any intellectual property rights to the client, whether expressly, by implication, or otherwise.
Copyright Protection
The OPAL Methodology, all reports, frameworks, and associated materials are protected by copyright under applicable United States copyright law and international copyright treaties. The OPAL name and brand are subject to trademark protection. Any unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or commercial use may give rise to statutory damages and other legal remedies under applicable law.
Moral Rights
Abbie Hallinan retains all moral rights in all works created in connection with OPAL, including the right of attribution and the right of integrity, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.
9. Limited Licence
Upon full payment and delivery of a deliverable, the client is granted a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use that specific deliverable solely for their own personal development or internal organizational insight, as applicable.
This license is strictly limited to the deliverable provided and does not extend to the OPAL Methodology, its frameworks, processes, variables, or any other aspect of the Proprietary Method.
This license may be revoked by Abbie Hallinan LLC immediately and without notice in the event of any breach of these Terms and Conditions, including any breach of Clauses 10, 11, or 12.
Nothing in this clause creates or implies any right to use the OPAL name, brand, or methodology for any commercial purpose or in any public-facing context.
10. Prohibited Uses
The following uses are strictly prohibited without the prior, explicit, and written consent of Abbie Hallinan LLC. Breach of this clause will be treated as a material breach of these terms and may result in legal action, including claims for injunctive relief and statutory damages under applicable copyright law:
Reproducing, copying, adapting, translating, or publishing any element of the OPAL Methodology, its frameworks, domains, variables, naming conventions, or analytical processes — in any format, medium, or context.
Using OPAL deliverables, reports, recordings, or materials — in whole or in part — as the basis for developing any assessment tool, analytical framework, coaching program, consulting methodology, or professional offering of any kind.
Distributing, sharing, publishing, or disclosing the contents of OPAL reports, recordings, or materials to any third party — including on social media, in professional publications, in presentations, or in any commercial context.
Representing oneself as trained in, certified in, licensed to deliver, or otherwise authorized to use or teach the OPAL Methodology or any component thereof.
Using the name "OPAL", "OPAL by Abbie Hallinan", or any name confusingly similar to these in connection with any service, product, program, or professional offering.
Commercialising OPAL insights, frameworks, or outputs in any form without prior written permission.
Sharing deliverables outside the client's immediate organization without prior written consent from Abbie Hallinan LLC.
Using OPAL reports, materials, or insights as a self-administered coaching, therapeutic, or advisory framework, or as a tool for analysing, managing, or making decisions about other people.
Applying OPAL structural concepts or frameworks within a workplace, organization, or team as a management, leadership development, HR, or people strategy tool beyond the client's own personal use.
11. Non-Reverse Engineering
Because OPAL is a proprietary analytical framework developed exclusively by Abbie Hallinan, clients agree — both during and indefinitely following any engagement — that they will not:
Attempt to extract, deduce, or reconstruct the methodology underlying OPAL assessments or outputs by any means, including through analysis of reports, patterns across multiple deliverables, or third-party inquiry.
Replicate, model, or approximate the structure, logic, or processes of the OPAL system for any purpose whatsoever.
Build, develop, or commission any derivative tool, assessment, framework, or consulting product based on OPAL outputs, methodology, or processes — whether directly or through a third party.
Train, instruct, or brief any individual, team, employee, or organization in the OPAL Methodology or any reconstructed approximation of it.
This obligation applies indefinitely and survives the termination or expiry of any engagement or agreement with Abbie Hallinan LLC.
12. Non-Competition with Methodology
Clients agree not to use information, insights, frameworks, or processes gained through engagement with OPAL services to create, develop, or contribute to:
Any competing structural pattern analysis methodology, framework, or assessment system.
Any consulting methodology, advisory product, or professional service that is derived from, substantially similar to, or that replicates key elements of the OPAL system.
Any product, tool, or program that commercially exploits insights or processes proprietary to OPAL.
This obligation applies during and for a period of five (5) years following the conclusion of any engagement with Abbie Hallinan LLC, and applies globally.
Abbie Hallinan LLC reserves the right to seek injunctive relief and damages in respect of any breach of this clause, acknowledging that monetary damages alone may be an insufficient remedy for such a breach.
13. Confidentiality
Abbie Hallinan LLC's Obligations to the Client
All client information is treated as strictly confidential. This includes the client's name, the nature of their inquiry, the contents of their assessment and reports, all deliverables, and any personal or professional information shared in the course of the engagement. No client information will be shared, discussed, published, or disclosed to any third party without explicit written consent, except where required by law.
For Team OPAL, individual results are confidential to the individual to whom they relate and will not be shared with the commissioning organization, other team members, or any other party without the explicit written consent of that individual — regardless of who has paid for the engagement.
Abbie Hallinan LLC may refer to general categories of work undertaken for the purposes of marketing or case study examples, provided no identifying information about any client is disclosed.
The Client's Obligations
By engaging any service, the client agrees to treat all information, frameworks, processes, and materials disclosed in the course of the engagement as strictly confidential. This obligation applies both during and indefinitely following the engagement.
The client agrees not to disclose, share, publish, or make available any information about the OPAL Methodology, its structure, variables, processes, or specific contents to any third party — whether on social media, in professional publications, in presentations, in training contexts, or in any commercial or non-commercial setting — without prior written consent from Abbie Hallinan LLC.
Testimonials and Public References
Clients who wish to publicly reference their engagement with Abbie Hallinan may do so only in general terms and with prior written approval. No testimonial or public reference may include specific details of the OPAL Methodology, its framework, variable names, domain structure, or assessment contents. Testimonials may not be used in any commercial context without separate written consent.
Recording of Sessions
Sessions conducted under any OPAL engagement — including Integration Conversations, Pattern Advisory Retainer sessions, and any workshops or mentorship calls — may be recorded by Abbie Hallinan LLC for internal record-keeping purposes. Clients may request a recording of their own session and it will be provided upon written request.
Clients may not record any session without the prior written consent of Abbie Hallinan LLC.
Any recording provided to the client is subject to the confidentiality and permitted use restrictions in these Terms and Conditions and may not be shared, published, distributed, or used for any purpose other than the client's own personal reference.
Abbie Hallinan LLC retains all analytical notes, working documents, and session records produced in connection with any engagement. These are proprietary working materials and are not subject to disclosure to the client.
14. Deliverables & Timeframes
Abbie Hallinan LLC will use reasonable endeavors to deliver all services and deliverables within the timeframes communicated at the time of engagement. All timeframes are indicative unless expressly confirmed as fixed in writing.
Akashic Readings will be delivered within seven to ten business days of confirmed booking and receipt of full payment, unless otherwise communicated in writing.
Individual OPAL reports will be delivered within the timeframe agreed at commencement and confirmed in writing.
Team OPAL timeframes will be individually agreed based on team size and scope, and confirmed in writing prior to commencement.
Abbie Hallinan LLC is not liable for delays arising from the client's failure to provide required intake materials, responses, or information within an agreed timeframe. In such cases, the delivery period will be extended by the duration of the client's delay, with no right of refund or credit arising from that extension.
All deliverables are provided digitally unless otherwise agreed. Clients are solely responsible for saving, backing up, and maintaining their own copies of all deliverables from the time of delivery. Abbie Hallinan LLC does not guarantee ongoing storage, re-delivery, or continued availability of previously delivered materials.
15. Client Conduct & Responsibilities
Clients are expected to engage with all services in good faith, with honesty, and with respect for the professional nature of the work. Abbie Hallinan LLC reserves the right to terminate any engagement immediately and without refund where a client engages in conduct that is abusive, threatening, dishonest, or otherwise contrary to the professional standards of the engagement.
Clients are responsible for providing accurate, complete, and honest information throughout their engagement. Abbie Hallinan LLC accepts no liability for any inaccuracy in deliverables arising from incomplete, misleading, or inaccurate information provided by the client.
Where intake questions or preparatory materials are required, the client is responsible for submitting these by any agreed deadline. Failure to do so may delay delivery and does not entitle the client to a refund, credit, or extension beyond the original delivery window.
Clients are solely responsible for all decisions made in response to any deliverable, report, advisory session, or service. Abbie Hallinan LLC accepts no liability for any outcome — personal, professional, financial, or organizational — arising from a client's decision to act or refrain from acting on the basis of any service provided.
16. Termination
Termination by Abbie Hallinan LLC
Abbie Hallinan LLC may terminate any engagement immediately and without further obligation where: (a) the client has breached any provision of these Terms and Conditions; (b) the client has failed to meet any payment obligation; (c) the client has engaged in abusive, threatening, dishonest, or otherwise inappropriate conduct; or (d) Abbie Hallinan LLC determines, at her sole and absolute discretion, that continuation of the engagement is not appropriate, safe, or consistent with the integrity of the work. Where termination results from a client breach, no refund will be issued for services paid for but not yet delivered, and any outstanding amounts remain payable in full.
Termination by the Client
A client may terminate an ongoing engagement — such as a retainer or mentorship program — by providing written notice to Abbie Hallinan LLC. Notice periods and financial obligations upon early termination will be specified in the individual service agreement for ongoing engagements. Where no specific notice period has been separately agreed, a minimum of thirty (30) days' written notice is required. Early termination by the client does not entitle the client to a refund of amounts paid for services already commenced or delivered, nor for the balance of any prepaid retainer period.
Survival of Obligations
The following clauses survive termination of any engagement and continue to bind the client: Clause 8 (Intellectual Property), Clause 9 (Limited License), Clause 10 (Prohibited Uses), Clause 11 (Non-Reverse Engineering), Clause 12 (Non-Competition with Methodology), Clause 13 (Confidentiality), and Clause 14 (Recording). Clause 12 survives for the period specified therein. Clauses 11 and 13 survive indefinitely.
17. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Abbie Hallinan LLC's total liability to any client — whether in contract, tort, negligence, statute, or otherwise — is strictly limited to the total amount paid by that client for the specific service giving rise to the claim.
Abbie Hallinan LLC is not liable for any indirect, consequential, special, punitive, or incidental loss or damage of any kind, including but not limited to: loss of revenue; loss of profit; loss of opportunity; loss of data; damage to reputation; business interruption; employment decisions; personnel changes; or organizational restructuring outcomes — arising from or in connection with this website, any service, or any deliverable.
Abbie Hallinan LLC does not accept liability for any decision made by a client in reliance upon any deliverable, advisory communication, report, or session. All services are provided to support the client's own decision-making and are not a substitute for independent professional advice.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for: personal injury or death caused by negligence; fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable law.
18. Client Indemnification
The client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Abbie Hallinan LLC, its members, officers, representatives, and any associated entities from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including legal costs on a full indemnity basis) arising from or in connection with:
The client's breach of any provision of these Terms and Conditions.
The client's misuse of any service, deliverable, or material provided by Abbie Hallinan LLC.

Any claim by a participant in an organizational engagement arising from the Organization's failure to obtain proper consent or to comply with applicable employment law.
Any misrepresentation made by the client in the course of their engagement.
19. Professional Disclaimer
The services provided by Abbie Hallinan LLC are intended to support personal development, professional clarity, structural self-understanding, and leadership insight. They do not constitute, and must not be treated as, professional medical, psychological, therapeutic, legal, financial, or human resources compliance advice.
OPAL is a proprietary structural analysis methodology. It is not a clinical assessment tool, a psychological diagnostic instrument, a regulated health service, or a legally recognized professional qualification under the law of any jurisdiction.
The women's practice offerings — including Akashic Readings, The Field, and The Womb Immersion — operate in the domains of energetic, somatic, and intuitive development. No medical, clinical, or therapeutic outcomes are claimed or implied. These services are not regulated health services and are not a substitute for professional medical or psychological care.
Clients with medical, mental health, legal, financial, or clinical needs are strongly encouraged to seek appropriate support from suitably qualified and licensed professionals. Abbie Hallinan LLC accepts no liability for any harm arising from a client's failure to seek such support.
No specific result, outcome, or transformation is guaranteed as a result of engaging any service. Results vary between individuals and organizations.
20. Force Majeure
Abbie Hallinan LLC shall not be liable for any delay, suspension, or failure to perform any obligation under these terms where such delay or failure results from circumstances beyond her reasonable control, including but not limited to:
Natural disasters, acts of God, or extreme weather events
Illness, injury, or medical emergency affecting Abbie Hallinan or an immediate family member
Internet, platform, or technology failure outside Abbie Hallinan LLC's reasonable control
Government restrictions, public health directives, or regulatory changes
Travel disruptions or restrictions
Any other event that could not reasonably have been anticipated or prevented
In the event of a force majeure event, Abbie Hallinan LLC will notify the client as soon as reasonably practicable and will use reasonable endeavors to resume delivery of services as quickly as possible. Where a force majeure event prevents delivery of a service for a period exceeding sixty (60) days, the client may request a credit for the undelivered portion of the service. No cash refund will be issued.
21. Website Use

While reasonable care is taken to ensure accuracy, Abbie Hallinan LLC makes no warranty as to the completeness, currency, or accuracy of any content and reserves the right to update or remove content at any time without notice.

22. Dispute Resolution
In the event of any dispute arising from or in connection with these Terms and Conditions or any engagement with Abbie Hallinan LLC's services, the parties agree to the following process:
Step 1 — Direct Negotiation
The party raising the dispute must notify the other party in writing, setting out the nature of the dispute and the resolution sought. Both parties agree to engage in good faith negotiation for a period of not less than fourteen (14) days from the date of that notice.
Step 2 — Mediation
If the dispute is not resolved through direct negotiation within the fourteen-day period, both parties agree to submit the dispute to mediation in the State of Wyoming, conducted by a mediator agreed upon by both parties or, failing agreement, appointed by the Wyoming State Bar's dispute resolution program or an equivalent recognized mediation body. The costs of mediation shall be borne equally unless otherwise agreed.
Step 3 — Litigation
Only where mediation has failed, or where a party requires urgent injunctive or interim relief, may the dispute be submitted to the courts of the State of Wyoming.
Injunctive Relief: Nothing in this clause prevents Abbie Hallinan LLC from seeking urgent injunctive relief at any time and without prior negotiation or mediation to protect her intellectual property, confidential information, or proprietary method.
23. Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Any legal proceedings arising from or in connection with these terms or any engagement with Abbie Hallinan LLC's services must be brought exclusively in the state and federal courts located in Wyoming. All clients irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of those courts for the purpose of resolving any such dispute and waive any objection to proceedings in those courts on grounds of venue or inconvenient forum.
Nothing in these terms limits any rights a client may have under applicable mandatory consumer protection law in their jurisdiction that cannot lawfully be excluded or modified by agreement.
24. Severability
If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal for any reason, that provision shall be severed from these terms. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect as if the severed provision had not been included.
Where a provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable only in part, it shall be read down to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. The valid and enforceable portions shall remain in effect.
25. Amendments
Abbie Hallinan LLC reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions at any time. The most current version will always be published on this page with a revised date. It is the client's sole responsibility to review these terms before each new engagement.
For existing ongoing engagements, material changes to these terms will be communicated in writing with a minimum of fourteen (14) days' notice before taking effect. Continued engagement following that notice period constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
Where a separate individual service agreement has been executed, its terms will take precedence over these general Terms and Conditions in the event of any direct inconsistency. All other provisions of these terms remain in full force.
26. Entire Agreement
These Terms and Conditions, together with any individual service agreement or written correspondence confirming the specific terms of an engagement, constitute the entire agreement between the client and Abbie Hallinan LLC with respect to the subject matter hereof. They supersede all prior negotiations, representations, warranties, understandings, and agreements — whether oral or written — between the parties in respect of the subject matter.
No variation, amendment, or waiver of any provision of these terms shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by Abbie Hallinan LLC. No failure or delay by Abbie Hallinan LLC in exercising any right under these terms shall constitute a waiver of that right.
27. Assignment
The client may not assign, transfer, delegate, or otherwise deal with any of their rights or obligations under these Terms and Conditions, or under any engagement with Abbie Hallinan LLC, without the prior written consent of Abbie Hallinan LLC. Any purported assignment without such consent is void.
This prohibition includes but is not limited to: transferring the benefit of a paid service to another individual or entity; transferring access to deliverables to a successor organization; or assigning any contractual right arising from an engagement to a third party.
Abbie Hallinan LLC may assign or transfer her rights and obligations under these terms at her discretion, including in the event of a restructure, sale, or transfer of her business, provided that such assignment does not materially diminish the client's rights under an existing confirmed engagement.
28. No Waiver
No failure, delay, or omission by Abbie Hallinan LLC in exercising any right, power, or remedy under these Terms and Conditions shall operate as a waiver of that right, power, or remedy, nor shall it preclude any future exercise of that right, power, or remedy.
No waiver of any breach of these terms shall be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision. A waiver of any right or remedy under these terms is only effective if given in writing and signed by Abbie Hallinan LLC. It applies only to the specific circumstances for which it is given and does not affect any other rights or remedies available to Abbie Hallinan LLC.
