Agreement to Terms
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the website operated by All Rise Business Solutions (“All Rise,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) at allrisebiz.com, and any consulting, design, or digital services you engage us to perform.
By accessing our website or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of our website and do not proceed with a service engagement.
Plain-language summary: Using our site or hiring us means you agree to these terms. We’ve written them to be fair and straightforward.
Our Services
All Rise Business Solutions provides professional services including, but not limited to:
- Strategic and operational business consulting
- Website design, development, and management
- Brand identity and graphic design
- Digital marketing strategy and execution
- Email marketing and social media management
Service descriptions on our website are provided for informational purposes. The specific deliverables, timelines, and fees for any engagement will be defined in a written proposal or Statement of Work (“SOW”) agreed upon by both parties.
Consulting Engagements
Formal consulting or project engagements begin upon execution of a signed proposal, SOW, or service agreement. The terms of that agreement govern the specific engagement and supplement these Terms.
Fees and payment: Fees are outlined in each proposal. Unless otherwise stated, invoices are due within 15 days of the invoice date. Overdue balances may accrue interest at 1.5% per month. We reserve the right to pause work on overdue accounts.
Revisions and scope changes: Work outside the agreed scope will require a change order. We will provide a written estimate before proceeding with any out-of-scope work.
Cancellation: Either party may terminate an engagement with 14 days’ written notice. Fees for work completed to the termination date are due and payable.
Intellectual Property
Client-owned deliverables: Upon receipt of full payment, All Rise assigns to the client all rights, title, and interest in work product created specifically for that client under an engagement, including website files, brand assets, and written materials.
All Rise’s retained rights: We retain ownership of all pre-existing tools, frameworks, methodologies, templates, and general know-how used in the delivery of services. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of such underlying intellectual property.
Portfolio use: Unless you request otherwise in writing, we reserve the right to reference completed work in our portfolio, case studies, and marketing materials.
Confidentiality
Both parties agree to keep confidential any proprietary information, trade secrets, or business data exchanged during an engagement (“Confidential Information”). Neither party will disclose Confidential Information to third parties without prior written consent, except as required by law.
This obligation of confidentiality survives the termination of any engagement for a period of three (3) years.
Disclaimers
Our website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of the information on our website.
Business consulting is advisory in nature. While we bring experience and diligence to every engagement, we do not guarantee specific business outcomes. Results depend on many factors outside our control, including client implementation, market conditions, and third-party variables.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, All Rise Business Solutions and its principals shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, or special damages arising out of or in connection with our services or this website.
Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising under a specific engagement shall not exceed the total fees paid by the client for that engagement in the three (3) months preceding the claim.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless All Rise Business Solutions, its principals, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your use of our website, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.
Governing Law
These Terms and any disputes arising from them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally shall first be submitted to non-binding mediation. If mediation is unsuccessful, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, conducted in Hennepin County, Minnesota.
Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of our website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
For active client engagements, changes to these Terms will not affect the terms of a signed SOW or service agreement already in effect.
