Terms of Service

1. Purpose and Scope

These Terms apply to:

• the Site itself, entivus.com, and every page on it
• website content, including our description of the Framework, Solutions, and Industries pages
• Insights, case studies, and other published materials
• forms and communications, including consultation requests, contact submissions, and email correspondence initiated through the Site
• any other online features or resources Entivus makes available through the Site
• your general interaction with Entivus through the Site, apart from any signed client engagement

These Terms apply to the Site as it exists today and as it changes over time, including new pages, sections, and features we may add. These Terms do not govern client engagements. If Entivus provides consulting, advisory, diagnostic, or other professional services to you or your organization, that relationship is governed by a separate written agreement, such as a signed proposal, statement of work, master services agreement, or other engagement contract (an “Engagement Agreement”). Where anything in these Terms conflicts with a signed Engagement Agreement, the Engagement Agreement controls for that engagement. Put simply: these Terms are the rules for the website. An Engagement Agreement is the rules for working with us.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not access or use the Site.

If you are accessing or using the Site on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and in that case “you” refers to both you individually and the organization you represent.

3. Nature of Entivus Services

Entivus is an Industrial Strategy & Transformation Consultancy. We help established B2B industrial companies understand where their next stage of growth is and what it takes to get there.

The descriptions of our services, Framework, and methodologies on the Site are provided for general informational purposes. Nothing on the Site is a proposal, quote, or binding offer to perform services. No engagement with Entivus is created by browsing the Site, reading an Insight, or submitting a form. An engagement begins only once you and Entivus have signed an Engagement Agreement.

General information published on the Site is not individualized business, legal, accounting, tax, engineering, or other professional advice, and should not be treated as such. Nothing on the Site should be relied on as advice specific to your company’s facts and circumstances unless it has been expressly provided to you in writing under a signed Engagement Agreement.

Examples, case studies, frameworks, and Insights published on the Site describe past engagements, general principles, or illustrative scenarios intended to be useful and informative. They are not warranties or predictions of the results any particular company will achieve. Outcomes depend on a wide range of factors specific to each company, and past results do not guarantee future performance.

4. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise noted, all content on the Site is owned by Entivus or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. This includes, without limitation:

• the Entivus name, logo, and other trademarks and brand assets
• the Entivus Framework and each of its component methodologies
• other proprietary concepts, named frameworks, and terminology originated by Entivus
• the design, layout, visual system, and architecture of the Site
• original Insights, articles, and other editorial content
• case studies and other descriptions of client work
• graphics, photography, illustrations, and other visual content
• written content on the Site generally
• downloadable materials, such as guides, templates, and one-pagers
• any software, code, or underlying technology used to build or operate the Site

Entivus develops a body of named concepts and frameworks over time and treats both the underlying thinking and the terminology used to describe it as Entivus intellectual property. Reusing an Entivus concept, its name, or a close variation of either, without our permission, or presenting an Entivus concept as originating elsewhere, is not a permitted use of the Site.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Entivus grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the Site for your own legitimate business or informational purposes. This is a license to use the Site. It is not a sale or transfer of any ownership interest in the Site or its content.

Except as expressly permitted above, you may not, without Entivus’s prior written consent:

• copy, reproduce, or republish a substantial portion of any Entivus materials
• redistribute Entivus materials, in whole or in part, for commercial purposes
• create derivative works based on Entivus materials, including adapted versions of the Framework or other named concepts
• systematically scrape, crawl, harvest, or otherwise extract content from the Site using automated means, other than standard search-engine indexing
• represent any Entivus materials, concepts, or frameworks as your own work or as originating from a source other than Entivus

Reasonable, good-faith references to and links to the Site, with clear attribution to Entivus, are welcome and do not require our prior consent.

5. Permitted Use and Prohibited Conduct

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with these Terms. Without limiting the general rule, you agree not to:

• use the Site in violation of any applicable law or regulation
• interfere with, disrupt, or place an unreasonable load on the Site or the servers or networks that host it
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site, to other users’ information, or to Entivus’s systems
• introduce viruses, malware, or other harmful code through the Site
• use bots, scrapers, or other automated tools to access the Site in a way that is abusive, excessive, or inconsistent with our published robots.txt or these Terms
• impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity
• misuse any form on the Site, including by submitting spam, false information, or content unrelated to a genuine inquiry
• submit content through the Site that you do not have the right to submit

6. User-Submitted Information

The Site allows you to submit information through contact forms, consultation or assessment requests, email, and similar channels (each, a “Submission”). You retain ownership of any Submission you provide to us. By making a Submission, you represent that you have the right to submit it and that doing so does not infringe or violate any third party’s rights.

You grant Entivus a limited license to use your Submission as reasonably necessary to receive, review, and respond to it, and to operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our services. We do not sell your Submission to third parties. We handle personal information collected through Submissions in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which governs the collection, use, retention, and sharing of that information in greater detail than these Terms do. In the event of any conflict between this section and the Privacy Policy regarding the handling of personal information, the Privacy Policy controls.

7. Confidentiality Boundary

Submitting information to Entivus through the Site, including through a contact form, consultation request, or email, does not by itself create a confidential relationship, a consulting engagement, or a non-disclosure obligation on Entivus’s part. We use discretion in how we handle inbound Submissions, but a public-facing website form is not a substitute for a signed confidentiality agreement, and you should not assume that information you enter into it is automatically protected as confidential under contract.

If you need to share genuinely sensitive or proprietary information about your company, such as detailed operational, financial, technical, or strategic information, we recommend doing so only once Entivus and your organization have entered into an appropriate confidentiality agreement, or once you have an established Engagement Agreement with Entivus that addresses confidentiality. Please do not include sensitive industrial, financial, or trade-secret information in general website forms or unsolicited email.

8. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site links to third-party resources, including our LinkedIn and Instagram profiles and other external websites we reference in our published content. The Site also relies on third-party infrastructure, such as hosting, analytics, and form or email delivery providers, to operate.

Entivus does not control, and is not responsible for, the content, accuracy, availability, security, or business practices of any third-party site or service, including ones we link to. Visiting a linked third-party site is at your own discretion and risk, and that site’s own terms and privacy practices, not these Terms, will apply to your use of it. Our Privacy Policy describes in more detail how certain third-party service providers help us operate the Site and process data.

9. Website Availability and Accuracy

We work to keep the Site accurate, useful, and reasonably available, but we do not promise that the Site will be available without interruption, that it will be free of errors, or that any particular page or piece of content will remain available indefinitely. We may update, correct, remove, or reorganize content on the Site at any time and without notice.

Information on the Site, including Insights, case studies, and other published materials, reflects our thinking as of the date it was published and may no longer be current by the time you read it. We are not obligated to update previously published content to reflect later developments in a company, industry, or market, though we may choose to do so. From time to time the Site may be unavailable for scheduled maintenance, updates, or reasons beyond our reasonable control, including issues affecting our hosting or infrastructure providers.

10. No Guarantee of Business Outcomes

Entivus provides strategic analysis, recommendations, frameworks, and consulting services. The business outcomes any company ultimately achieves depend on many factors outside Entivus’s control, including that company’s own execution, leadership decisions, market conditions, and competitive dynamics.

Nothing on the Site, and nothing in these Terms, guarantees any particular business outcome, including revenue growth, market share, profitability, customer acquisition, competitive position, operational improvement, access to financing, new contracts, or a specific return on investment. Any discussion of past results on the Site describes what happened in a specific engagement under its own circumstances. It is not, and should not be read as, a prediction of what will happen for your company. Any projections, forecasts, or targets that Entivus develops for a specific client as part of a signed Engagement Agreement are addressed by that agreement, not by these Terms.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Entivus, and its members, officers, employees, and agents, will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business, arising out of or related to your access to or use of, or inability to access or use, the Site, whether based on contract, tort, or any other legal theory, and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Entivus’s total aggregate liability to you for any and all claims arising out of or related to the Site or these Terms will not exceed one hundred dollars ($100).

This Section 11 applies to your use of the Site under these Terms. It does not apply to, limit, or otherwise modify any liability, warranty, or indemnity provisions in a separate, signed Engagement Agreement between you or your organization and Entivus, which govern liability for the actual services provided under that engagement.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the limitations in this section may not apply to you.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Entivus, and its members, officers, employees, and agents, from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to: (a) your unlawful use of the Site; (b) your violation of these Terms; or (c) your infringement or violation of any third party’s intellectual property or other rights in connection with your use of the Site.

13. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Site, are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any such dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Texas, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts and waive any objection to venue there.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised Terms on this page and update the “Last Updated” date above. If a change is material, we will make reasonable efforts to bring it to your attention, such as through a notice on the Site. Your continued use of the Site after a revised version of these Terms is posted constitutes your acceptance of the changes, to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree with a revised version of these Terms, your only recourse is to stop using the Site.

15. General Provisions

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. Entivus’s failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision or of any other provision. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent; Entivus may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Entivus regarding your use of the Site, and supersede any prior agreements or understandings regarding the Site. These Terms do not create any partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between you and Entivus, and no third party is entitled to enforce any provision of these Terms. Section headings in these Terms are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
