Terms of Use

These terms apply to branchstrategies.co and the free tools, assessments, articles, and newsletters offered by Branch (also known as Branch Strategies, “Branch,” “we,” “us”). By using the site, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.

Using the site

You may use the site for lawful purposes and for your own organization’s internal use. Please don’t:

• copy, resell, or republish our content or tools as your own, or use them to build a competing product or service;
• submit false information or apply on behalf of an organization you aren’t authorized to represent;
• interfere with the site, probe it for vulnerabilities, or try to access anything that isn’t meant to be public;
• scrape the site in bulk or in a way that burdens it. Search engines and AI assistants are welcome to read and cite our public pages, and we publish an AI info page for that purpose.

General information, not professional advice

Everything on this site, including our articles, guides, newsletters, tools, and assessment results, is general information based on our experience. It isn’t legal, financial, accounting, tax, or other professional advice, and it isn’t tailored to your organization. Use your own judgment and talk to a qualified professional before making decisions that depend on your specific facts.

Assessment scores and tool outputs are directional. They’re based only on the answers you enter and are meant to start a conversation, not to diagnose your business.

Client results

The case studies, numbers, and testimonials on this site describe real client engagements. Each result is specific to that client, their team, and their market. They show what has happened, not what will happen for you, and we don’t guarantee any particular outcome.

No client relationship without a signed agreement

Visiting the site, taking an assessment, booking or holding an introductory call, or applying to a program doesn’t make you a Branch client. A client relationship begins only when both of us sign a written agreement, and that agreement, not these terms, governs the work, fees, confidentiality, and deliverables. If the two ever conflict, the signed agreement wins.

The Branch Grant and other programs

Programs such as The Branch Grant are described on their own pages, and those details apply along with these terms. Recipients are selected at our discretion. Applying doesn’t guarantee selection, and neither applying nor being selected obligates you to hire Branch.

Who owns what

The site and its content, including text, graphics, tools, assessments, and the Branch name and logo, belong to Branch or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. You may share links to our pages, quote short excerpts with credit and a link, and use our free tools and their outputs inside your own organization.

Client names and logos belong to their owners. Other names and frameworks we mention, such as EOS and GWC, are trademarks of their respective owners, and mentioning them doesn’t imply any affiliation or endorsement.

What you send us

You’re responsible for the information you submit and for having the right to share it. You give us permission to use it to respond to you, evaluate your application or request, and provide what you asked for, as described in our Privacy Policy. Please don’t send confidential information through website forms. Unless we’ve signed a confidentiality agreement, we can’t promise to treat what you send as confidential.

If you send us feedback or ideas about the site or our tools, we may use them without any obligation to you.

Third-party sites and services

The site links to and uses services run by other companies, such as LinkedIn and our scheduling and email provider. We don’t control them and aren’t responsible for their content, availability, or practices. Your use of them is subject to their own terms.

Disclaimers

We work to keep the site accurate and available, but we provide it “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don’t warrant that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that its content is complete or current. We may change or remove any part of the site at any time.

Limits on liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Branch and its owners, employees, and advisors won’t be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, or data, arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content. Our total liability for any claim relating to the site won’t exceed one hundred US dollars ($100). Some jurisdictions don’t allow certain limits, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Rhode Island, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute relating to these terms or the site will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Providence County, Rhode Island, and you and Branch consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We’ll post the new version here and update the date at the top. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
