Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Jay Templeton Trust, doing business as Jay Templeton Consulting (“Jay Templeton Consulting,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your access to jaytempleton.com and the online services, content, and tools available through it (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into these Terms. If you use the Services for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it, and “you” includes that organization.

The Services may include articles, case studies, frameworks, AI opportunity scenarios, readiness assessments, calculators, saved plans, applications, account features, newsletters, booking links, and other resources related to AI transformation and consulting. Some features may be experimental, marked as previews, unavailable, or changed over time.

We may modify, add, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services. We do not promise that any specific feature or content will remain available or that the Services will be uninterrupted.

Some features require an account. You agree to provide accurate, current information; keep your credentials confidential; use only accounts you are authorized to use; and promptly notify us of suspected unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity under your account to the extent permitted by law.

You may sign in through Google, Microsoft, email verification, or another option we make available. Your relationship with an external identity provider is governed by that provider’s terms. We may refuse registration or require additional verification where reasonably necessary to protect the Services or other users.

Readiness scores, opportunity estimates, ROI ranges, benchmarks, scenarios, recommendations, and similar outputs are provided for general planning and discussion. They may be based on assumptions, self-reported information, public sources, industry averages, models, or incomplete data. Labels such as modeled, projected, observed, or verified describe the stated provenance; they do not create a guarantee.

The Services may use automated or artificial-intelligence-assisted systems. These systems can produce incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or unsuitable results. You are responsible for independently evaluating outputs and using qualified human review before acting on them.

The Services are not legal, tax, accounting, investment, medical, employment, cybersecurity, or other regulated professional advice. Do not use an output as the sole basis for high-impact decisions about a person, safety, legal rights, employment, credit, insurance, healthcare, or significant financial commitments.

Visiting the site, submitting a form, receiving an online result, or booking a conversation does not create a consulting, fiduciary, partnership, employment, or other professional relationship. A consulting engagement begins only when the applicable parties sign a separate written agreement, statement of work, or order form.

That separate agreement will govern the engagement’s scope, deliverables, fees, payment, ownership, confidentiality, warranties, and liability. If it conflicts with these Terms, the separate signed agreement controls for that engagement.

You retain ownership of information, text, links, assumptions, feedback, and other material you submit through the Services (“Your Content”). You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, copy, process, transmit, and display Your Content only as reasonably needed to operate, secure, improve, and provide the Services and to respond to you.

You represent that you have the rights and permissions necessary to provide Your Content and that doing so does not violate law or another person’s rights. Do not submit trade secrets, regulated data, special categories of personal data, client-confidential material, or third-party personal information unless we have expressly agreed in writing that the relevant channel and engagement may receive it.

General website inquiries, applications, and assessment submissions are not treated as confidential under a professional duty or non-disclosure agreement. If you send suggestions or feedback, we may use them without restriction or compensation, provided we do not identify you publicly without permission.

You may not use the Services to:

• violate law, regulation, contract, or another person’s rights;
• submit unlawful, deceptive, defamatory, infringing, malicious, or harmful content;
• access another person’s account, impersonate someone, or misrepresent your affiliation;
• probe, scan, bypass, disable, or interfere with security, authentication, rate limits, or access controls;
• introduce malware, scrape at unreasonable volume, overload the Services, or use automated access in a way that disrupts operation;
• reverse engineer or attempt to extract source code, models, system prompts, non-public datasets, or other protected components, except where applicable law expressly permits it; or
• use the Services or outputs to develop a competing dataset or service through systematic extraction, or to make prohibited high-impact decisions about individuals.

The Services—including site design, software, frameworks, scoring methods, taxonomies, text, graphics, logos, photographs, videos, and compilations—are owned by or licensed to Jay Templeton Consulting and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for Your Content, we reserve all rights not expressly granted.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Services for your internal personal or business evaluation. You may link to public pages and quote brief excerpts with clear attribution. You may not reproduce, sell, license, publicly distribute, or create derivative products from substantial portions of the Services without written permission.

The Services may rely on or link to third-party identity, hosting, database, email, scheduling, social-media, and other services. We do not control third-party services and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, or practices. Your use of them is governed by their own terms and policies.

References to companies, products, studies, or external resources are for information and do not necessarily imply endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation.

If you request a result, submit an application, contact us, or create an account, we may send transactional messages related to that activity. If you opt in to marketing or newsletter messages, you can unsubscribe through the link in the message or by contacting us. Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent necessary account, security, or service communications.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” Jay Templeton Consulting disclaims all express and implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

We do not warrant that any estimate, recommendation, opportunity, forecast, example, or other output will produce revenue, savings, adoption, business results, or a successful AI implementation. Your results depend on facts and decisions outside our control. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Jay Templeton Consulting and its trustees, officers, employees, contractors, and agents will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising from or related to the Services, even if advised that such damages are possible.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from or related to the public website and online Services will not exceed the greater of one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100) or the amount you paid us specifically for the affected online Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. Limits for a paid consulting engagement are governed by its separate signed agreement. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Jay Templeton Consulting and its trustees, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from third-party claims, damages, losses, and reasonable costs arising from Your Content, your unlawful or unauthorized use of the Services, or your material violation of these Terms or another person’s rights. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from our own unlawful conduct.

You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, created risk or legal exposure, failed to pay an applicable charge, or used the Services in a way that could harm another person or the Services. Where practical, we will provide notice and an opportunity to address the issue.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, and governing law—will survive.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute not governed by a separate signed consulting agreement must be brought in the state or federal courts located in King County, Washington, and each party consents to their jurisdiction and venue. This section does not limit rights you may have under mandatory consumer-protection law where you live.

If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be modified only to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them as part of a reorganization or transfer of the Services. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any incorporated notices, are the entire agreement for use of the public online Services.

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Services, law, or business operations. We will post the revised Terms and update the “Last updated” date. Material changes will apply prospectively, and we will provide additional notice where required. Continuing to use the Services after revised Terms take effect means you accept them.
