Welcome to Involta, LLC. By using our website, requesting information, or entering into a scientific and technical consulting agreement with us, you agree to these Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our services or site.
1. Acceptance of terms
These terms govern your use of our website and the general framework for our consulting services. A separate written statement of work, consulting agreement, proposal acceptance, or similar contract signed or accepted by you and Involta, LLC ("we," "us," "our") controls specific fees, scope, deliverables, timelines, and duties for each engagement. If that agreement conflicts with these terms on a particular point, the engagement-specific agreement prevails for that project.
2. Services we provide
We offer scientific and technical consulting services under NAICS 541690, which may include, depending on your agreement:
- Technical feasibility studies and viability assessments
- R&D and innovation advisory support
- Process, systems, and operational technical analysis
- Scientific documentation and technical report preparation
- Data interpretation, review, and structured assessment
- High-level orientation on standards, practices, and compliance considerations relevant to your project
- Client communication regarding scope, scheduling, deliverables, billing, and engagement matters
We perform services in accordance with applicable Iowa law, federal requirements where applicable, professional standards appropriate to the engagement, and the terms of your consulting agreement.
3. Client responsibilities
Clients agree to:
- Provide accurate project information, technical data, contacts, timelines, and billing details
- Disclose material constraints, risks, proprietary limitations, and relevant background needed for the engagement
- Ensure shared materials may be used for the agreed consulting purpose and do not violate third-party rights or applicable law
- Provide timely access to stakeholders, documents, systems, or facilities reasonably required to perform the scope
- Notify us promptly of changes in contact information, project direction, or account billing information
4. Fees and billing
- Consulting fees, hourly rates, fixed-fee amounts, expenses, and other charges are set out in your statement of work, proposal, invoice, or fee schedule
- Unless stated otherwise, fees are earned as described in the applicable agreement or when services are performed, delivered, or made available within the agreed scope
- Clients remain responsible for costs caused by inaccurate information, delayed access, expanded scope, or cancellation after work has commenced where applicable
5. No guarantee of results
We use professional judgment and structured methods to analyze technical questions and prepare recommendations, but we do not guarantee specific business outcomes, regulatory approvals, experimental results, market performance, or third-party decisions based on our deliverables. Our work is advisory unless otherwise expressly stated in writing.
6. Third parties and subcontractors
We may coordinate with third-party specialists, laboratories, software providers, or other vendors as needed and with client consent where appropriate. Their services, warranties, and limitations may apply separately. We are not liable for third-party negligence except to the extent caused by our own failure to exercise reasonable care where required by law or agreement.
7. Website use
- Content is for general information and marketing; it is not legal, engineering certification, or investment advice
- You may not scrape, hack, or misuse the site or attempt unauthorized access to our systems
- We may change or discontinue site features without notice
8. Intellectual property
Website text, layout, and branding used by Involta, LLC are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Deliverable ownership, license rights, and use of work product are governed by your consulting agreement. You may not copy or reuse site materials without our written permission unless limited fair use applies.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Involta, LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, lost profits, business interruption, or loss of goodwill arising from use of the website or services. Our aggregate liability for claims relating to the website, excluding services governed by a separate written consulting agreement or mandatory law, shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the three months preceding the claim or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases our liability is limited to the maximum permitted by law.
10. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Involta, LLC and its personnel from claims arising from inaccurate project information, unauthorized materials provided by you, unlawful instructions, failure to disclose material constraints, or misuse of the website or services, except where caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court.

12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, without regard to conflict-of-law rules that would apply another state's laws. Venue provisions in your consulting agreement, if any, apply to disputes under that agreement.
13. Changes
We may update these terms by posting a revised version and updating the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance unless applicable law requires additional notice.
14. Severability
If any provision is held invalid, the remainder remains in effect.
15. Entire agreement (website)
For website use, these terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement. Project-specific rights and duties are in your applicable consulting agreement, statement of work, proposal, invoice, or addenda.
