1. The House

This website is published by Third Order Advisory · Ordre III, a private advisory practice led by Divya L Arcot, Principal Consultant and Creative Head (the "House").

2. Intellectual property

All written content, frameworks, methodologies, capability descriptions, visual design, typography pairing, layout and the "Ordre III" / "Third Order Advisory" marks are the proprietary intellectual property of the House. No part of this site may be reproduced, redistributed, mirrored, adapted, used to train machine-learning models or passed off as another practice's work without prior written permission.

Deliverables, engagement artefacts and bespoke methodology composed for clients remain the property of the House and are governed by each engagement's terms.

3. No engagement by website use

Use of this site, submission of the discovery form or correspondence by email does not, in itself, create an advisory engagement. A formal engagement begins only after a written scope of work has been agreed in confidence.

Content on this site is published for general information and to describe the House's posture. It is not legal, regulatory, financial or risk advice. Decisions taken in reliance on public material remain the responsibility of the reader.

5. Confidentiality

Information shared via the discovery form, email or call is treated as confidential. The House does not publish client names, sectors or engagement details without prior written consent.

6. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws applicable at the seat of the House. Any dispute arising from use of this site is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at that seat.
