Terms and Conditions

Last updated: July 2026

Scope

These terms govern the use of this website. They do not govern any client engagement. Every engagement is set out in its own written contract, which takes precedence over anything on this site.

Nothing here is advice

The content on this website, including the Strain Check, is general information about a diagnostic method. It is not consulting, legal, financial, or investment advice, and it should not be relied on as the basis for a business decision. The Strain Check is a self-assessment and produces an indicative reading only, not a diagnosis and not a valuation of any cost.

No guaranteed outcome

Any figures, timeframes, or results described on this site are identified by their source and status. Career experience, ISEOR's research record, planned doctoral work, and future Kihon Labs client evidence are separate categories. None is a promise of any particular outcome in your organisation.

Intellectual property

Kihon Labs' original text, branding, visual design, and original materials are protected by applicable intellectual property law. The socio-economic approach to management is the work of Henri Savall, Véronique Zardet, and ISEOR, and is credited as such. You may quote or share limited extracts with attribution and a link. You may not reproduce Kihon Labs' original materials or present them as your own.

Third party links

This site links to external sites we do not control and is not responsible for their content or their handling of your data.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, Kihon Labs is not liable for loss arising solely from reliance on general information published on this site. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

Governing law

These terms are governed by Spanish law. Where legally permitted, disputes arising from use of this site fall under the jurisdiction of the courts of Barcelona, Spain. Mandatory rights and jurisdiction rules that apply to a user are not displaced.

Changes

These terms may be updated. The current version is always the one published on this page.

FAQ

The terms, in four questions.

What is the scope of what gets delivered?
These terms cover use of this website only. What an actual engagement delivers is set out in its own written contract, which takes precedence over anything published here.
Who owns the intellectual property?
Kihon Labs owns its original text, branding, visual design, and original materials. The socio-economic approach is separately credited to Henri Savall, Véronique Zardet, and ISEOR. Limited extracts may be shared with attribution, but Kihon Labs' original materials may not be reproduced or presented as someone else's work.
How is confidentiality handled?
Confidentiality for an actual engagement is set by that engagement's own contract, not by these terms. Details on how enquiry and site data are handled are covered separately in the Privacy Policy.
Which law applies if there is a dispute?
Spanish law applies. Where legally permitted, disputes over use of the site fall under the jurisdiction of the courts of Barcelona, without displacing mandatory rights or jurisdiction rules that apply to a user.
