These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the website carthavia.com (the “Website”), operated by NIEL Ab under the trading name Carthavia Consulting (“Carthavia”, “we”). By using the Website you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.
2. Purpose of the Website
The Website provides information about Carthavia’s strategic consulting services connecting businesses between Tunisia and Nordic markets.
3. No automatic consulting relationship
Visiting the Website, sending an email, submitting an inquiry or having an initial conversation does not by itself create a consulting engagement or any binding professional relationship.
A consulting engagement exists only when expressly agreed between the parties, preferably in a written agreement, proposal, statement of work or engagement letter.

- immigration advice
- regulatory advice
5. No guarantee of results
Carthavia may provide strategic advice, introductions, market analysis and business-development support. Business outcomes depend on many circumstances outside our control, including market conditions, third-party decisions and regulatory processes.
Accordingly, we do not guarantee:

- sales or profitability
- commercial success
Nothing in this section limits any obligations Carthavia expressly accepts in a signed agreement.

Please do not send highly confidential, privileged, trade-secret or sensitive information through the Website or by unsolicited email unless an appropriate confidential channel or agreement has been established.

13. Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Carthavia is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from the use of, or reliance on, general information published on the Website.
