Terms of Use
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of integrityagency.io and related properties operated by Integrity Agency (the “Site”), and your submission of any inquiry, referral, or correspondence through the Site. Use of the Site constitutes acceptance of these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
1. Acceptance
By accessing, browsing, or using the Site, or by submitting any inquiry, referral, or correspondence through the Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you are accessing the Site on behalf of an entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.
2. Eligibility
The Site is intended for use by individuals who are at least eighteen years old, acting on their own behalf or on behalf of an entity they are authorized to represent. The Site is not intended for personal, family, or household use. Engagements are accepted by Integrity Agency in its sole discretion and only upon execution of a written engagement letter.
3. Nature of the Site
The Site is an informational presentation of the Integrity Agency practice. Nothing on the Site constitutes an offer to contract, a solicitation, an investment recommendation, tax, legal, accounting, or other professional advice, or an invitation to participate in any transaction or instrument. Representations concerning prior work, principals, partnerships, or outcomes are illustrative and do not constitute a guarantee of any future result. Any reference to outcomes, clients, publications, or third parties is not an endorsement and does not imply partnership unless expressly stated.
4. No Advisory Relationship Created
Submission of an inquiry, referral, or any other communication through the Site does not, and will not, create an advisory, contractual, agency, or fiduciary relationship between you and Integrity Agency. A relationship with Integrity Agency is formed only upon execution of a written engagement letter signed by an authorized principal of Integrity Agency. Until such an engagement letter is executed, no duty of any kind is owed, and no reliance should be placed on any pre-engagement communication, estimate, or outline. Engagement with Integrity Agency on social media, at public events, or in informal correspondence likewise does not create any advisory, contractual, agency, or fiduciary relationship.
5. Confidentiality of Your Inquiry
Inquiries, referrals, and preliminary communications submitted through the Site are received in confidence and reviewed personally by senior principals. We do not sell, rent, market, or disclose the substance of an inquiry to third parties for their own purposes. Where an engagement proceeds, confidentiality is governed by a separately executed engagement letter and, where appropriate, a mutual non-disclosure instrument.
6. Confidentiality of Our Methods
Integrity Agency’s frameworks, methodology, terminology, analyses, intelligence categories, strategic formulations, proposals, pricing, introductions, referrals, and any materials shared with you before or during a prospective engagement (collectively, “IA Confidential Information”) are the confidential property of Integrity Agency. You agree:
- to hold IA Confidential Information in strict confidence
- not to disclose IA Confidential Information to any third party without our prior written consent
- not to use IA Confidential Information for any purpose other than evaluating a prospective engagement with us
- not to reproduce, republish, post, or circulate IA Confidential Information in any form
- not to use IA Confidential Information to compete with, solicit the principals or clients of, or replicate the practice of Integrity Agency
6.1 Non-Solicitation of Personnel and Clients
For a period of twenty-four (24) months after your most recent communication with Integrity Agency, you agree not to, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment, engagement, or independent contract, or otherwise induce to leave or reduce their relationship with Integrity Agency, any principal, partner, employee, contractor, referrer, or client of Integrity Agency with whom you became acquainted through or as a result of your interaction with Integrity Agency. Ordinary-course, public-audience recruiting that is not directed specifically at such persons is not prohibited by this Section.
These obligations survive termination of any communication or engagement and apply regardless of whether an engagement letter is ultimately executed. Breach by you entitles Integrity Agency to seek immediate injunctive relief in addition to all other remedies.
7. Non-Circumvention
Integrity Agency’s practice depends on the introduction of principals, investors, counterparties, partners, funds, service providers, and other individuals or entities (each, a “Relationship”) whose identity, availability, or terms of engagement are not publicly available and are made known to you only in connection with a prospective or actual engagement with Integrity Agency. For a period of twenty-four (24) months after the Relationship is introduced to you by or through Integrity Agency, you agree not to, directly or indirectly, and not to cause any affiliate, employee, agent, or representative to:
- engage with, transact with, solicit, or enter into an advisory, commercial, or investment relationship with the Relationship in connection with the same or a substantially similar subject matter as was discussed with Integrity Agency, without the prior written consent of Integrity Agency
- bypass Integrity Agency in favor of a direct arrangement that would deprive Integrity Agency of fees, carry, participation, or compensation that would otherwise have been payable under a prospective or actual engagement
- introduce the Relationship to any third party in a manner that circumvents, avoids, or displaces Integrity Agency’s role
Nothing in this Section restricts interactions you can demonstrate were established independently, from public sources, and without reliance on information received from Integrity Agency. If a direct relationship nevertheless materializes during the restricted period in connection with an Integrity Agency introduction, the parties will negotiate in good faith a reasonable recognition of Integrity Agency’s role consistent with industry custom for referral, introduction, and advisory fees.
8. Intellectual Property and Trademarks
All content on the Site is the property of Integrity Agency or its licensors, including but not limited to the Integrity Agency name, wordmark, logo, brand marks, trade dress, typography, imagery, code, layouts, compositions, photography, and copy. The following are claimed marks, designations, and proprietary frameworks of Integrity Agency and may not be reproduced, republished, imitated, or used without prior written consent:
- Integrity Agency™
- “We Don’t Build Campaigns. We Build Legacies.”™
- “Architecture for Compounding Influence”™
- The Architecture of Power™ framework and derivative instruments
- The three-pillar model: Strategic Partnership Advantage™; Intelligence for Market Control™; Bespoke Architecture™
- The intelligence nomenclature and related category language
- The composite black, gold, and Cormorant Garamond visual system as applied across Integrity Agency properties
All other marks, names, and designations referenced on the Site are the property of their respective owners. The marks above are claimed as common-law trademarks of Integrity Agency whether or not accompanied by a symbol; use of the ™ symbol is illustrative. No license is granted to you, whether expressly, by implication, by estoppel, or otherwise, except the limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable permission to view the Site in an ordinary web browser for lawful informational purposes. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
9. Restrictions on Use
You agree not to, and not to permit any third party to:
- reproduce, republish, distribute, post, or make available any Site content, in whole or in part, without prior written consent
- crawl, scrape, harvest, cache, mirror, or otherwise extract content, copy, structure, or metadata from the Site by automated or systematic means
- use the Site, its content, our frameworks, methodology, terminology, or any derivative materials to train, fine-tune, evaluate, benchmark, test, or develop any artificial intelligence model, machine-learning system, retrieval system, embedding, or competing advisory product
- use the Site or its content to build, market, or operate any service that competes with Integrity Agency or that solicits our principals, referrers, or clients
- reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive any underlying idea, framework, or instrument embodied in the Site
- impersonate Integrity Agency, any principal, or any affiliate, or misrepresent any affiliation or endorsement
- use the Site in any manner that violates applicable law, infringes intellectual property, or undermines the security or integrity of the Site
- circumvent any access control, rate limit, or technical protection
Any breach of this Section constitutes material harm for which monetary damages may be inadequate, and entitles Integrity Agency to seek injunctive relief in addition to all other remedies.
10. Publicity and Client Identity
Confidentiality of the engagement runs in both directions. Integrity Agency will not disclose the identity of a client, the existence of an engagement, or the substance of a prospective or actual engagement in press, marketing, or public materials without the client’s prior written consent, except as required by law or regulatory process. Likewise, you agree not to disclose, reference, or imply an engagement, affiliation, partnership, endorsement, or advisory relationship with Integrity Agency — whether in press, marketing, social media, capital-raising materials, biographical summaries, or otherwise — without Integrity Agency’s prior written consent. Neither party may use the other’s name, marks, or identifying references in any public-facing context without such consent.
11. Feedback and Submissions
If you submit suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, comments, or other feedback regarding the Site or Integrity Agency (“Feedback”), you grant Integrity Agency a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, fully paid-up, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and commercialize such Feedback and any works derived from it, without restriction or obligation of any kind.
12. Copyright Complaints (DMCA)
Integrity Agency respects the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that content accessible through the Site infringes your copyright, send a written notice to [email protected] that includes the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):
- a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the allegedly infringed right
- identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
- identification of the material claimed to be infringing and its location on the Site, with reasonable particularity
- your name, address, telephone number, and email address
- a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
- a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the right
Integrity Agency will respond consistent with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Repeat infringers may have access to the Site terminated. Misrepresentations in a copyright notice may subject the sender to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
13. Third-Party Content
The Site may reference third-party publications, institutions, organizations, brands, or principals. Such references do not imply endorsement, partnership, sponsorship, or any relationship unless expressly stated. All third-party marks remain the property of their respective owners.
14. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INTEGRITY AGENCY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, ACCURACY, UNINTERRUPTED AVAILABILITY, OR ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SITE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR SECURE. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF INTEGRITY AGENCY CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. INTEGRITY AGENCY MAKES NO REPRESENTATION THAT THE SITE IS APPROPRIATE OR AVAILABLE FOR USE IN ANY PARTICULAR JURISDICTION.
15. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INTEGRITY AGENCY AND ITS PRINCIPALS, PARTNERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND AGENTS (THE “IA PARTIES”) WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOST GOODWILL, LOST DATA, OR REPUTATIONAL HARM, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.
THE IA PARTIES’ TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND SURVIVE TERMINATION. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS IN SECTIONS 14 AND 15 ARE AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN AND WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
Any claim arising out of or related to the Site or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, or be forever barred, except where a longer period is required by non-waivable law.
16. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the IA Parties from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, liabilities, damages, settlements, judgments, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and investigation costs) arising out of or related to:
- your use of the Site or its content
- your breach of these Terms, including any breach of Section 6 (Confidentiality of Our Methods), Section 7 (Non-Circumvention), Section 8 (Intellectual Property), Section 9 (Restrictions on Use), or Section 10 (Publicity and Client Identity)
- your violation of any law, regulation, or third-party right, including intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or contract rights
- any content, information, or material you submit or transmit through the Site
- your misrepresentation of your authority, identity, or affiliation
Integrity Agency may, at its option, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are obligated to indemnify, and you agree to cooperate reasonably at your expense. You may not settle any indemnified claim without Integrity Agency’s prior written consent.
17. Force Majeure
Integrity Agency will not be liable for any delay or failure in performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, labor disputes, cyber incidents, utility or telecommunications failures, cloud or hosting provider failures, governmental or regulatory action, sanctions, embargoes, or other events of force majeure.
18. Arbitration, Class Action Waiver, and Jury Trial Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU AND INTEGRITY AGENCY TO RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND LIMITS THE WAY YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF.
Agreement to Arbitrate. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or any communication with Integrity Agency (a “Dispute”) will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except as expressly provided in Section 19 (Injunctive Relief Carve-Out). The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.
Location and Procedure. Arbitration will be conducted in Maricopa County, Arizona, or remotely at the arbitrator’s discretion. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class Action Waiver. YOU AND INTEGRITY AGENCY EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, MASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS OR PRESIDE OVER ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
Jury Trial Waiver. TO THE EXTENT ANY DISPUTE IS NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION, YOU AND INTEGRITY AGENCY EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
Opt-Out. You may opt out of this Section by sending written notice to [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.
Severability of this Section. If the class action waiver is found unenforceable in a particular case, the Dispute will proceed in court under Section 20 (Governing Law and Venue), not in arbitration, but the remainder of this Section will remain in full force and effect.
Attorneys’ Fees. In any arbitration or litigation arising under these Terms, Integrity Agency is entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert fees, and costs if it is the prevailing party, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
19. Injunctive Relief Carve-Out
Notwithstanding Section 18, Integrity Agency may seek immediate injunctive, equitable, or provisional relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property, IA Confidential Information, trade secrets, data, or systems, or to enforce Sections 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10. The pursuit of such relief does not waive Integrity Agency’s right to arbitration of any other Dispute.
20. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to Section 18, any Dispute not subject to arbitration, and any action to enforce or confirm an arbitration award, will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona. Each party irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waives any objection based on inconvenient forum.
21. Assignment
You may not assign, delegate, or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations under them, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Integrity Agency. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section is void. Integrity Agency may freely assign these Terms to an affiliate or to any successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, sale of assets, or reorganization, without your consent.
22. Export Controls, Sanctions, and AML
You represent and warrant that: (i) you are not located in, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of any country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, and you are not listed on any U.S. government restricted-party list (including the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List); (ii) you are not acting on behalf of any such person or entity; (iii) your access to the Site and any proposed engagement do not violate applicable export-control, sanctions, anti-money-laundering, anti-bribery, or anti-corruption laws; and (iv) the source of any funds proposed in connection with an engagement is lawful. You agree to comply with all applicable U.S. and international export, re-export, sanctions, and anti-money-laundering laws. Integrity Agency may refuse or terminate service or access to any person or entity in its sole discretion to comply with such laws or with its internal policies.
23. Notices
Notices to Integrity Agency must be sent to the appropriate email address and are deemed received when actually delivered to the applicable inbox:
- Legal notices, arbitration opt-out, DMCA notices, and Terms questions: [email protected]
- Privacy and data-protection matters: [email protected]
- General correspondence: [email protected]
Notices to you may be sent to the email on file for your inquiry or correspondence, and are deemed received on the day sent.
24. Electronic Communications and Signatures
You consent to transact with Integrity Agency electronically. Agreements, notices, disclosures, consents, and other communications may be provided electronically. Electronic signatures, records, acceptances, and automated electronic transactions have the same force and effect as physical signatures and paper records to the extent permitted by law.
25. No Third-Party Beneficiaries
These Terms are for the sole benefit of you and Integrity Agency and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Nothing in these Terms, express or implied, is intended to or will confer upon any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature.
26. Severability, Waiver, and Interpretation
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving its intent. Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that or any other provision. Headings are for convenience only. The terms “including” and “includes” mean “including without limitation.” Any ambiguity will not be construed against the drafter.
27. Survival
Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, and 29 survive any expiration or termination of these Terms for any reason.
28. Changes; Entire Agreement
Integrity Agency may update these Terms at any time and in its sole discretion. The most current version is posted on this page and takes effect upon posting. Continued use of the Site after updated Terms are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any separately executed engagement letter, constitute the entire agreement between you and Integrity Agency regarding the subject matter addressed here and supersede all prior understandings and communications. Nothing in these Terms limits or alters the terms of an executed engagement letter.
