The rules for using this website and for working with us: sessions, fees, cancellations, what assessments can and cannot tell you, and your rights.
This website is operated by Bridge Career Consulting, a career consulting practice based in Athens, Greece, run by Manousos Vasilakis (Certified Career Consultant) and George Mantzanas (Career Coach). Contact: manousosvasilakisdesign@gmail.com.
By browsing this website you accept these terms. Where we work together, these terms apply alongside the written proposal or session agreement we send you. If the two conflict, the proposal wins.
We provide career orientation and consulting, career assessment and interpretation, CV, LinkedIn and personal-branding consulting, interview preparation, and negotiation and conflict coaching. Content on this website, including any indicative pricing or timelines, is not a binding offer. A contract is formed only when we send a written proposal and you accept it.
Our services are professional consulting and coaching. They are not psychotherapy, psychiatric treatment, medical advice, legal advice or employment law representation, and they are not a substitute for any of those.
We work to improve your clarity, your materials and your performance in selection processes. We cannot and do not guarantee a job offer, an interview, a promotion, a salary increase, admission to a programme, or any particular outcome. Hiring decisions are made by third parties on criteria outside our control.
You confirm that the information, documents and history you give us are accurate, and that you hold the rights to any material you share. You remain responsible for the content of any CV, profile or application you submit, and for decisions you take about your career. Progress depends on your own follow-through between sessions.
Everything you share in an engagement is confidential and is used only to deliver the work, as described in our Privacy Policy. We may break confidentiality only where the law requires it, or where there is a serious and immediate risk to your safety or the safety of another person. This obligation continues after the engagement ends.
You agree in turn to keep confidential any proprietary materials, frameworks or templates we share with you.
Our frameworks, worksheets, templates, reports and written guidance are licensed to you for your own personal use. You may not resell, publish or distribute them, or use them to deliver consulting or coaching services to others, without our written permission.
Third-party assessment instruments remain the property of their publishers and are governed by their own licences. Everything on this website, including text, layout, images and the Bridge Career Consulting name and logo, belongs to us or to our licensors and may not be reproduced without permission.
We deliver our services with professional care. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any engagement is limited to the fees you paid us for that engagement, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss such as lost earnings, lost opportunities or the consequences of a career decision you take.
Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited under Greek or EU law, including your statutory rights as a consumer.
If you are a consumer in the EU contracting with us at a distance, you have the right to withdraw within 14 days without giving a reason, under Directive 2011/83/EU as implemented in Greek law. To do so, tell us in a clear statement at manousosvasilakisdesign@gmail.com before the period ends.
If you ask us to begin sessions during the withdrawal period, you will pay a proportionate amount for what has been delivered up to the moment you withdraw. The right of withdrawal ends once the service has been fully performed with your prior express consent and acknowledgement that you lose that right.
Either side may end an engagement in writing at any time. You pay for sessions already delivered and for third-party costs already committed, such as assessment licences. We may end an engagement where the working relationship has broken down or where your needs fall outside our competence, and in that case we refund any prepaid sessions not yet delivered.
These terms are governed by Greek law, and the courts of Athens, Greece have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live and may bring proceedings there.
Consumers in the EU can also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We would rather resolve anything directly first, and usually can.
We may update these terms to reflect changes in our services or in the law. The version published here when your proposal is accepted is the version that applies to that engagement.
