Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of getleverage.com (the “Site”) and any content, products, or services that Leverage Technologies Inc. (“Leverage,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) makes available through the Site (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

These Terms cover your use of the Site and the publicly available content products we offer (whitepapers, executive briefings, the podcast feed, marketing pages). Paid advisory and operational engineering engagements are governed by a separate Master Services Agreement, Statement of Work, or similar engagement document executed between Leverage and the client (each, an “Engagement Agreement”). In the event of a conflict between these Terms and an Engagement Agreement, the Engagement Agreement controls with respect to that engagement.

1. Eligibility

You may use the Site only if you are at least sixteen (16) years old, are not barred from using the Site under applicable law, and have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements. The Site and Services are intended for executives and their authorized representatives evaluating Leverage for organizational engagement; the Services are not consumer-facing.

2. The Services

Leverage is an operational engineering and enterprise AI-readiness advisory firm. Through the Site we publish thought-leadership content, host gated executive resources, market our advisory practice, and provide a means for prospective clients to initiate contact. Leverage may add, modify, or discontinue any portion of the Services at any time without notice.

Our proprietary methodology — the CPR® Framework — structures Communication, Planning, and Resources to prepare an organization’s data, workflows, and decision rights for AI deployment. The CPR® Framework is described publicly in Come Up for Air (a book authored by Leverage’s founder) and on the Site at a general level for marketing purposes; full implementation details are provided only under an Engagement Agreement.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree that you will not, and will not permit any person acting on your behalf to:

• Use the Site or Services in violation of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right;
• Misrepresent your identity, affiliation, or role when submitting contact, scheduling, or download forms;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, our systems, our service providers’ systems, or any account, computer, or network connected to the Site;
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Site, or breach any security or authentication measure;
• Crawl, scrape, harvest, or otherwise extract content from the Site by automated means without our prior written permission, except for general-purpose search-engine indexing consistent with our robots.txt;
• Use the Site or any Leverage content to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or otherwise develop a generative-AI model, dataset, or derived product without our prior written permission;
• Use the Site to transmit any malware, spyware, ransomware, or other malicious code;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any portion of the Services, except to the limited extent applicable law expressly permits;
• Reproduce, redistribute, sublicense, sell, or commercially exploit any content from the Site (including the CPR® Framework descriptions, whitepapers, briefings, or podcast transcripts), except as expressly permitted in Section 5; or
• Interfere with the proper operation of the Site or attempt to circumvent any access controls, paywalls, or rate limits.

4. Intellectual Property

The Site, the Services, and all content made available through them — including the “Leverage” name, the “Leverage” word mark, the CPR® Framework name and methodology, all logos, page designs, page layouts, copy, graphics, photographs, audio, video, podcast episodes, executive briefings, whitepapers, software, and code — are owned by Leverage or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, trade-secret, and other intellectual-property laws. CPR® is a registered or claimed trademark of Leverage Technologies Inc.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Leverage grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and view the Site and to use freely available content for your internal informational use. No other rights are granted, by implication or otherwise. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

5. Permitted Quoting and Citation

You may quote brief excerpts from publicly available Site content (typically, fewer than 200 words per item) for purposes of internal review, scholarly commentary, or news reporting, provided that you (i) attribute the excerpt to Leverage and link to the source page when published online, (ii) do not modify the substantive meaning of the excerpt, and (iii) do not use the excerpt in a manner that suggests Leverage’s endorsement of any product, service, person, or position.

6. Submissions and Feedback

If you send Leverage any feedback, suggestions, ideas, or other submissions about the Site or Services (a “Submission”), you grant Leverage a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, and incorporate the Submission for any purpose without obligation or compensation to you. You represent that you have all rights necessary to grant the foregoing license and that your Submission does not infringe any third-party right.

7. Engagements; Statements of Work

Nothing on the Site constitutes an offer to enter into a consulting, advisory, or services engagement. Engagements are formed only when Leverage and the client execute an Engagement Agreement. The Site’s description of the CPR® Framework, deliverables, KPIs, and outcomes is illustrative and subject to negotiation in the underlying Engagement Agreement.

8. Disclaimers

The Site and Services are provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Leverage disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or trade usage.

Site content (including whitepapers, briefings, podcast episodes, and book excerpts) is published for informational purposes and reflects the views of the authors at the time of publication. It is not legal, financial, tax, accounting, or investment advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice from qualified professionals familiar with your specific circumstances. Leverage does not guarantee any specific business, operational, or financial outcome from the implementation of any framework, recommendation, or methodology described on the Site.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Leverage, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, data, or use, arising out of or in connection with the Site, the Services, or these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, strict liability, or any other legal theory, and whether or not Leverage has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event will Leverage’s aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). The foregoing limitation does not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law. Liability arising under an Engagement Agreement is governed by that agreement, not by these Terms.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Leverage and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Site, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

11. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, products, or services that are not owned or controlled by Leverage. Leverage is not responsible for, and makes no warranty regarding, the content, products, services, privacy practices, or accuracy of any third-party property. Your use of any third-party property is at your own risk and is governed by the applicable third party’s terms.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including any conduct that we, in our sole discretion, believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, third parties, Leverage, or the Site itself. Sections 4 (Intellectual Property), 6 (Submissions), 8 (Disclaimers), 9 (Limitation of Liability), 10 (Indemnification), 13 (Governing Law), 14 (Dispute Resolution), and 16 (General) survive any termination.

13. Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or your use of the Site are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

14. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration

Please read this section carefully. It affects your rights.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site (a “Dispute”) will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator, will take place in Wilmington, Delaware (or by videoconference at Leverage’s election), and will proceed in the English language. The arbitrator’s award is final and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class-action waiver. Each party agrees that any Dispute will be brought solely in that party’s individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Delaware to protect its intellectual-property rights.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Effective” date at the top of this page reflects the date of the most recent material update. Your continued use of the Site after the Effective date of an updated version constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Site.

16. General

These Terms, together with any Engagement Agreement and any other agreements expressly referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Leverage regarding the Site and supersede all prior agreements and understandings on that subject. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Leverage’s failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision. You may not assign these Terms without Leverage’s prior written consent; any unauthorized assignment is void. Leverage may assign these Terms freely. The relationship between you and Leverage is that of independent contractors; nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship.
