Terms of service.

Effective date: September 01, 2025

Owner/Operator: Margineers (“Margineers, The Margineers, Margineers.co,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

Site: https://www.margineers.co (the “Site”).

Contact: legal@margineers.co | 1131 Alta Loma Rd, West Hollywood, CA 90069

Notice: These Terms govern your use of the Site, newsletter, and scheduling pages. Services we perform for clients are governed by a separate Statement of Work (SOW)/Master Services Agreement (MSA); if there’s a conflict, the SOW/MSA controls.

1) Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Site, subscribing to our newsletter, or booking time via Calendly, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

Age: You must be 18+ (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction).

2) What We Do (and Don’t Do)

  • The Site provides information about gross-margin improvement and lets you subscribe to emails and book introductory calls.

  • No legal/brokerage services: We are not a law firm or customs broker. Any HTS/origin/valuation analysis we provide is informational only; client’s broker and/or counsel must make final determinations and filings.

  • No confidential submissions via the Site: Do not upload or transmit confidential or proprietary information through public forms. NDAs and secure data exchange (if any) are handled separately under an SOW.

3) Third‑Party Services

We use third parties to operate parts of the Site (e.g., Squarespace for hosting/forms/email, Calendly for scheduling, and analytics providers). Your use of those features may be subject to the third parties’ own terms and privacy policies. We’re not responsible for their outages or acts/omissions.

4) Accounts & Communications

You may subscribe to our newsletter or book meetings without creating a Site account. By subscribing, you agree to receive emails from us; you can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email.

You’re responsible for the accuracy of information you provide. If you contact us on behalf of a company, you represent you have authority to do so.

5) Acceptable Use

  • Comply with all applicable laws (including export controls, sanctions, anti‑bribery, forced‑labor rules).

  • Do not attempt to access non‑public areas, bypass security, or disrupt the Site.

  • Do not scrape or harvest the Site except via publicly available feeds (if any).

  • Do not misrepresent your identity or affiliation.

  • Do not infringe intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.

6) Intellectual Property

All content on the Site—including text, logos, graphics, and templates—is owned by us or our licensors and protected by law. We grant you a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to access and view the Site for your personal or internal business use.

You may not copy, modify, reverse‑engineer, or create derivative works from the Site or its content, except as permitted by law or with our written consent.

Trademarks: “Margineers,” related marks, and the logo are our trademarks. Do not use them without permission.

7) Content You Submit

If you send us feedback, ideas, or public comments via the Site, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty‑free license to use and share that feedback for improving our services (excluding any confidential information shared under an NDA/SOW via secure channels). Do not upload confidential, personal, or sensitive information to public forms.

8) Scheduling & Intro Calls

Calendly bookings are introductory consultations only and do not constitute engagement. Any engagement for professional services requires a mutually executed SOW/MSA describing scope, fees, deliverables, and responsibilities (including broker/counsel sign‑off for tariff matters). We may reschedule or decline a booking at our discretion.

9) No Professional Advice; No Warranties

Information on the Site (including newsletters and blog posts) is for general informational purposes only. We make no representation that any information is accurate, complete, or up‑to‑date for your particular circumstances.

THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON‑INFRINGEMENT.

10) Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL MARGINEERS OR ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF USD $100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US (IF ANY) FOR SITE ACCESS IN THE 3 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; some of the above may not apply to you.

11) Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Margineers and our officers, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Site, (b) your violation of these Terms, or (c) your violation of any law or third‑party rights.

12) Privacy

Your use of the Site is subject to our Privacy Policy (posted on the Site), which explains how we collect and use personal information. By using the Site, you consent to those practices.

13) Changes to the Site or Terms

We may modify or discontinue any part of the Site at any time. We may update these Terms by posting a revised version with a new Effective date. Your continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

14) Suspension/Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time for any reason, including violations of these Terms or suspected misuse.

15) Governing Law; Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict‑of‑laws rules.

Informal resolution: Before filing a claim, you agree to email us at legal@margineers.co and attempt to resolve the dispute informally within 30 days.

Arbitration: Except for claims for injunctive relief or intellectual‑property enforcement, disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration in Los Angeles County, California under the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules (or, for individual claims under $250,000, the JAMS Streamlined Rules) before a single arbitrator. Either party may seek injunctive relief in court for unauthorized use or IP infringement.

Waiver of jury trial and class actions: You and we waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class or representative action. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim must proceed in court, not arbitration.

Venue if not arbitrated: Exclusive jurisdiction and venue lie in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California. You consent to personal jurisdiction there.

16) Export, Sanctions & Compliance

You may not use the Site if you are located in, or are a resident or national of, a country embargoed by the U.S., EU, or UK, or if you are on any sanctions/denied‑party list. You represent that your use complies with applicable export, sanctions, and import laws.

17) Severability; Assignment; Entire Agreement

If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding Site use (separate SOWs govern paid services).
