These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the website operated by Portaris Partners LLC, doing business as PORTARIS (“Portaris,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

​

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the website.

​

1. About This Website

The PORTARIS website provides information about Portaris, our approach, our Partnerships, and the support we may provide to businesses, organizations, leaders, and individuals.

​

Website content is provided for general informational purposes. It is not intended to address every circumstance or provide individualized advice regarding a particular business, organization, employment matter, career decision, or other situation.

​

2. No Partnership or Professional Relationship Created by Website Use

Visiting this website, reviewing or downloading PORTARIS materials, submitting information through the website, contacting Portaris, or scheduling or participating in an initial conversation does not by itself create a client, partner, advisory, fiduciary, contractual, employment, agency, joint venture, or other professional relationship between you and Portaris.

​

A formal Portaris Partnership or other paid engagement begins only when Portaris and the applicable individual or organization enter into a separate written agreement.

​

Any such engagement is governed by the applicable Portaris Partnership Proposal & Agreement or other written agreement, not solely by these Terms of Use.

​

3. Human Resources Consulting and Legal Matters

Portaris provides Human Resources, business, organizational, leadership, career, and related consulting and advisory support.

Portaris is not a law firm, does not practice law, and does not provide legal advice or legal representation.

​

Portaris may provide Human Resources consulting, perspective, tools, process support, and recommendations regarding workplace matters that may also involve legal or regulatory considerations. Portaris's involvement in such matters does not constitute legal advice, a legal opinion, or legal representation.

​

Portaris does not determine an organization's legal obligations or make legal conclusions on its behalf. When interpretation of law, assessment of legal risk, preparation of legal documents, or legal representation is appropriate, the individual or organization should consult appropriately qualified legal counsel.

​

Portaris may recommend consultation with legal counsel when circumstances warrant.

​

Nothing available through this website, and no interaction with Portaris through the website, creates an attorney-client relationship.

​

4. Other Professional Advice

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing and legally permitted, information available through this website is not intended as tax, accounting, investment, financial, medical, or other regulated professional advice.

You should consult an appropriately qualified professional when your circumstances require advice within one of those fields.

​

5. Use of the Website

You may use the PORTARIS website for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

​

You agree not to use the website in a manner that:

• Violates applicable law or regulation;

• Attempts to gain unauthorized access to the website, systems, accounts, or information;

• Introduces viruses, malicious code, or other harmful technology;

• Interferes with the operation, availability, security, or functionality of the website;

• Uses automated means to improperly scrape, harvest, extract, reproduce, or collect website content or information;

• Misrepresents your identity, affiliation with Portaris, or Portaris's endorsement of another person, organization, product, or service; or

• Infringes the intellectual property, privacy, or other legal rights of Portaris or another person or organization.

 

Portaris may restrict access to the website when reasonably necessary to protect the website, Portaris, our visitors, or others.

​

6. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, original content and materials available through the PORTARIS website, including written content, graphics, designs, branding, downloadable materials, tools, publications, and other original materials, are owned by or licensed to Portaris Partners LLC and may be protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable intellectual property laws.

​

PORTARIS™, Portaris Points™, The Portaris Front Porch™, The Portaris Way™, The Portaris Partnership™, The Portaris Playbook™, and other Portaris names, marks, programs, publications, tools, and materials identified as Portaris intellectual property may not be used in a manner that suggests ownership, affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement without authorization.

​

You may view PORTARIS website content and share links to publicly available pages for lawful, noncommercial purposes. Except where Portaris expressly provides otherwise, you may not reproduce, modify, republish, sell, distribute, license, or commercially exploit PORTARIS content without prior permission, except as otherwise permitted by law.

​

7. Free Resources and Downloadable Materials

Portaris may make tools, checklists, guides, prompts, templates, or other resources available through the website at no charge.

Unless otherwise stated, these resources are provided for general informational and educational use. They may be used by the recipient for personal or internal business purposes but may not be sold, republished, commercially distributed, represented as another person's or organization's work, or used in a manner that suggests endorsement by Portaris.

Free resources are not customized for a particular individual or organization. Use of a free resource does not create a Portaris Partnership or other professional relationship and does not constitute legal or other regulated professional advice.

​

8. Information and Materials You Provide

When you voluntarily provide information or materials through the PORTARIS website, forms, scheduling tools, email, or services linked from the website, you represent that you are authorized to provide that information or material.

​

If you provide information concerning another person, employee, applicant, organization, or other third party, you are responsible for ensuring that you have the authority to provide that information to Portaris.

​

Please do not submit Social Security numbers, financial account information, passwords, identification documents, or other sensitive personal information through general website forms, scheduling tools, or inquiries unless Portaris specifically requests such information through an appropriate method.

​

Portaris's collection and handling of personal information is described in the PORTARIS Privacy Policy.

​

9. Electronic Communications and Scheduling

When you contact Portaris, submit a form, schedule a conversation, or otherwise communicate with us electronically, you consent to receiving communications reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry, manage your request or appointment, or continue the interaction you initiated.

​

These operational communications are not, by themselves, consent to receive unrelated marketing communications where separate consent is required by applicable law.

​

Electronic communications may be provided through email, Microsoft Bookings, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Forms, or other communication tools used by Portaris.

​

10. Career and Employment Information

Portaris may provide information, resources, or support relating to careers, leadership development, professional growth, employment transitions, hiring, recruiting, or workforce matters.

​

Nothing on the PORTARIS website constitutes an offer or guarantee of employment, placement, promotion, compensation, advancement, hiring, candidate selection, or any other employment or career outcome.

​

Employers, candidates, professionals, and other individuals remain responsible for their own employment, hiring, and career decisions.

​

11. Third-Party Websites and Services

The PORTARIS website may contain links to or use services operated by third parties.

​

Portaris does not control independently operated third-party websites or services and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, terms, privacy practices, or actions.

​

Your use of a third-party website or service may be governed by that provider's own terms and privacy policies.

​

12. Website Information, Accuracy, and Availability

Portaris makes reasonable efforts to provide useful and current information. However, business practices, laws, regulations, workplace requirements, technology, and other circumstances may change.

​

Portaris does not warrant that website content will always be complete, accurate, current, error-free, or appropriate for every individual, business, organization, or circumstance.

​

Website content, functionality, and availability may be modified, suspended, or discontinued from time to time without notice.

​

13. Decisions and Results

Every organization, business, team, leader, and individual has different circumstances.

​

PORTARIS website content is not a guarantee of any particular business, employment, career, financial, operational, organizational, leadership, or other result.

​

You remain responsible for evaluating information available through the website and for decisions made based upon that information.

​

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

​

Portaris makes no representation or warranty that the website will operate without interruption or error, that defects will always be corrected, or that website content will be suitable for every purpose or circumstance.

​

Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or other rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

​

15. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Portaris Partners LLC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or similar damages arising solely from access to, use of, inability to use, or reliance upon this website or its general informational content.

​

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

​

​

16. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Portaris Partners LLC from claims, losses, liabilities, or reasonable expenses arising from your unlawful use of the website, your material violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person's intellectual property, privacy, or other legal rights.

​

18. Governing Law

These Terms and your use of the PORTARIS website are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of law, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

​

19. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect to the extent permitted by law.

​

20. No Waiver

A failure by Portaris to enforce any provision of these Terms does not waive Portaris's right to enforce that provision or any other provision in the future.

​

21. Survival

Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should continue after termination or restriction of website access, including provisions concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and other protections intended to survive, will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.

​

22. Entire Agreement Regarding Website Use

These Terms of Use, together with the PORTARIS Privacy Policy and Website & Advisory Disclaimer, constitute the terms governing use of the PORTARIS website.

​

They do not replace or modify any separate written agreement governing a Portaris Partnership, project, engagement, or other contractual relationship.

If a separate written agreement applies to services provided by Portaris, that agreement governs those services according to its terms.

​

23. Changes to These Terms

Portaris may update these Terms of Use from time to time as our website, business practices, services, or legal requirements change.

​

Updates will be posted on the website with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the website after revised Terms are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
