Terms of Service

^{These Terms cover your use of our website, including the partnership application you can submit through it. They do not cover the partnership itself. If we move forward together, the partnership is governed by a separate written agreement that both sides sign — not by these Terms, and not by anything on the site.}

^{You can apply to partner with us through the site. Submitting an application starts a conversation. It does not create a partnership, an obligation, or any binding commitment — for you or for us. A partnership exists only once both sides sign a separate written agreement. Until then, either of us can walk away for any reason, and nothing on the site or in an application is a contract, an offer, or a promise to enter one.}

^{The site explains how we work and includes examples, numbers, and educational material about growing and valuing a local service business. It’s there to help you understand what we do. It is not financial, investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice, and it isn’t a substitute for advice from your own professionals. Before you make decisions about your business, your equity, or your finances, talk to advisors who know your specific situation.}

^{When we show results — like a partner growing from $40K to $500K a month, or a cost per booking dropping from $296 to $10 — those are specific outcomes from specific partners, in specific markets, under specific conditions. They’re real, and we’re proud of them. But they are not typical, they are not guaranteed, and they are not a promise or prediction of what your business will do. Growth depends on many things — your market, your execution, your team, the economy, and factors none of us controls. Past results don’t guarantee future results.}

^{If you apply, you agree that the information you give us is truthful and complete to the best of your knowledge. We make decisions based on what you tell us, so accuracy matters.}

^{The site is here for operators considering a partnership and for people who want to understand what we do. When you use it, you agree not to:}

‍

• Use it for anything unlawful, or in a way that breaks these Terms
• Copy, scrape, republish, or resell the site’s content without our written permission
• Interfere with the site, try to get around its security, or access it in ways it’s not meant to be accessed
• Submit false information or impersonate someone else
• Use bots or automated tools to access the site, other than standard search engine crawling

‍

^{The site and everything on it — text, design, graphics, logos, and the Summit Growth Agency name — belong to us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. So do the names of our methodology and frameworks, including The Growth Playbook. You can read the site and share links to it, but you can’t copy, reproduce, or use our content or brand for your own purposes without our written permission.}

^{The site may link to websites and services we don’t operate or control. We include them because they might be useful, not because we’re responsible for them. We don’t endorse them, and we’re not responsible for their content, their products, or their privacy practices.}

^{We work to keep the site accurate, current, and available, but we provide it “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all implied warranties, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don’t warrant that the site will always be available, error-free, or secure, or that the information on it is complete, accurate, or current. You use the site at your own discretion and risk.}

^{To the fullest extent the law allows, Summit and its owners, employees, and contractors won’t be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of the site or your inability to use it — including lost profits, lost data, or business interruption — even if we’ve been told such damages are possible. Because you don’t pay to use the site, our total liability to you for any claim relating to the site is limited to one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). Some places don’t allow certain liability limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.}

^{You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Summit and its owners, employees, and contractors from any claims, losses, liabilities, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) that arise from your misuse of the site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.}

^{Your use of the site is also covered by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your information. By using the site, you agree to that policy.}

^{We may update these Terms as the site and our business change. When we do, we’ll update the “Effective date” at the top. If you keep using the site after we post changes, you’re agreeing to the updated Terms.}

^{These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.}

‍

^{If you ever have a dispute with us, contact us first using the details below — most issues can be sorted out quickly without going further. If we can’t resolve it that way, the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California have exclusive jurisdiction, and you and Summit agree to that venue. To the extent the law allows, both sides waive the right to a jury trial.}

^{If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. Our not enforcing a term doesn’t waive it. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of the site. You can’t transfer your rights under these Terms; we can transfer ours in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale.}
