Terms of Service

Effective date: October 5, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Embedded Collective website at https://embeddedcollective.com (“Website”), operated by Embedded Collective LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”).

Please read these Terms before using the Website. If you do not agree to them, please discontinue use.

1. About Embedded Collective

Embedded Collective provides consulting services that help businesses interpret marketing and business information, evaluate performance, and develop strategic priorities.

This Website provides general information about our services, perspectives, and experience. Website content does not constitute advice tailored to your organization.

2. Consulting engagements

Submitting an inquiry, scheduling an introductory conversation, or accessing Website resources does not establish a consulting relationship.

Consulting engagements require a separate written agreement. That agreement will establish the scope of work, fees, payment terms, confidentiality obligations, ownership of deliverables, and other engagement terms. If these Terms conflict with an engagement agreement, the engagement agreement controls for the services covered by it.

3. Permitted use

You may use the Website for lawful purposes, including learning about our services and evaluating whether to work with us.

You agree not to:

• Use the Website for unlawful, fraudulent, or deceptive purposes.
• Attempt to access restricted systems or information without authorization.
• Introduce malicious software or interfere with the Website’s operation or security.
• Submit information that infringes another person’s rights.
• Reproduce, sell, or commercially distribute Website content without permission, except as permitted by law.

4. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise identified, Website content—including text, graphics, logos, and original resources—is owned by Embedded Collective or its licensors and protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may view, download, and print publicly available content for personal use or internal business reference, provided you retain ownership notices and do not misrepresent its source. Any additional permissions included with a resource apply to that resource.

These Terms do not transfer ownership of our content or grant permission to use our name or logo to imply an endorsement or affiliation.

5. Information you submit

When contacting us, provide accurate information and submit only materials you are authorized to share.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information, trade secrets, or confidential business data through general Website forms. Contact us first to arrange an appropriate method of sharing information and, where necessary, a confidentiality agreement.

You retain ownership of materials you submit. You authorize us to use them as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry or fulfill your request, subject to applicable privacy obligations and any separate agreement.

6. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose personal information through the Website.

7. Third-party links and tools

The Website may link to third-party websites or use third-party tools, such as scheduling services. Those providers operate under their own terms and privacy policies.

We do not control third-party content, availability, or practices. A link does not, by itself, imply our endorsement.

8. Information and results

We make reasonable efforts to provide useful, accurate information, but Website content may contain errors or become outdated.

Examples, case studies, and descriptions of past results are provided for context. They do not guarantee that your organization will achieve similar outcomes. Results depend on factors such as your circumstances, data quality, implementation, and market conditions.

9. Website availability and warranties

To the extent permitted by law, the Website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without express or implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or noninfringement.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or secure access. We may update, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Website.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Embedded Collective will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Website.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Liability relating to paid consulting services is governed by the applicable engagement agreement.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised effective date and will apply prospectively. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Kansas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise. Nothing in these Terms limits mandatory protections available under applicable law.

If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
