Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance of These Terms

By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using this website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and all applicable laws and regulations. If you are using the website on behalf of a business or other entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

2. No Professional Advice; No Client Relationship

The content on this website is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute, and should not be relied upon as, accounting, tax, financial, legal, investment, or other professional advice, and it is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional regarding your specific situation.

Your use of this website, your submission of information through it, and any communication you send to us do not create a client, advisory, fiduciary, or other professional relationship between you and Mantle. A professional engagement is established only when both parties execute a written engagement agreement that defines the specific scope of services. Until such an agreement is signed, no information you provide is treated as confidential, and we assume no duty or obligation to you based on your use of the website.

Tax laws and financial circumstances change frequently and vary by individual and jurisdiction. We make no representation that the information on this website is current, complete, or applicable to your particular circumstances, and you should not act on it without seeking professional advice tailored to your situation.

3. Eligibility

This website is intended for use by businesses and by individuals who are at least 18 years of age. By using the website, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the website only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of, or restrict or inhibit the use and enjoyment of, the website by any third party. You agree not to:

• Use the website in any way that violates any applicable law or regulation;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the website, its servers, or connected systems;
• Introduce any virus, malware, or other harmful code, or otherwise interfere with the proper operation of the website;
• Use any automated means to access, scrape, harvest, or collect content or data from the website without our prior written consent;
• Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity; or
• Use the website to transmit unsolicited communications, advertising, or any unlawful or fraudulent material.

5. Intellectual Property

All content on this website — including text, graphics, logos, the Mantle name and marks, page designs, and the selection and arrangement thereof — is the property of Mantle Advisory Group LLC or its licensors and is protected by United States and international intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, and non-transferable license to access and view the website for your personal or internal business use only. You may not copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any content without our prior written consent.

6. Submissions and Communications

Any information, materials, or feedback you submit to us through the website (other than personal information governed by our Privacy Policy, and other than information later covered by a signed engagement agreement) is provided on a non-confidential basis. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any feedback or suggestions you provide for any purpose without obligation to you. Please do not submit sensitive personal, financial, or tax information through the website's contact forms; secure methods for sharing such information will be provided once an engagement begins.

7. Third-Party Links and Services

The website may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Mantle. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third party, and the inclusion of any link does not imply our endorsement. Your access to and use of any third-party website is at your own risk and subject to that third party's terms and policies.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE WEBSITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY INFORMATION ON THE WEBSITE IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MANTLE ADVISORY GROUP LLC AND ITS PARTNERS, MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE) THE WEBSITE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE WEBSITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law. These limitations govern your use of the website only; the terms of any signed engagement agreement will govern the services we provide to clients.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Mantle Advisory Group LLC and its partners, members, officers, 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 use of the website, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of any third party.

11. Privacy

Your use of the website is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your information and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

12. Changes to the Website and These Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the website at any time without notice. We may also revise these Terms from time to time; the “Last Updated” date above reflects the most recent changes. Your continued use of the website after any changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the website, are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that any such dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Before initiating any formal proceeding, you agree to first contact us in good faith to seek an informal resolution.

14. General

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any signed engagement agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and Mantle regarding your use of the website and supersede any prior understandings. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent.
