The Client acknowledges that the Consultant operates solely as an independent contractor and shall have no authority to bind the Client or act on behalf of the Client, except as expressly outlined in this Agreement. Both Parties agree that each is solely responsible for its own taxes, benefits, and any other obligations arising from their respective roles under this Agreement.
ARTICLE II
