Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the-darcy-group.com and any content, features, or functionality made available through the website (collectively, the “Site”). The Site is operated by The Darcy Group LLC (“The Darcy Group,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

2. Website Purpose

The Site provides general information about The Darcy Group, Raymond Darcy, and consulting and advisory services relating to executive operations, supply chain, manufacturing, business process improvement, AI and automation, and related matters.

Website content is provided for general informational and business-development purposes only. The Site is not intended to create a consulting, fiduciary, agency, employment, partnership, joint venture, or other professional relationship merely because you access the Site or submit an inquiry.

3. No Professional, Legal, Financial, or Technical Advice

Information on the Site is general in nature and may not reflect the facts, risks, regulations, systems, contractual obligations, or business circumstances of your organization. Nothing on the Site constitutes legal, tax, accounting, investment, engineering, cybersecurity, export-control, regulatory, or other specialized professional advice.

You should obtain appropriate professional advice before acting on information where specialized advice is required. Consulting recommendations, if any, are provided only under a separate written agreement defining the engagement.

4. Consulting Engagements Require a Separate Agreement

Descriptions of services, capabilities, experience, past results, industries, or potential engagement models are illustrative and do not constitute an offer, guarantee, or promise that any particular service, resource, outcome, timeline, or result will be available.

No consulting engagement begins unless and until the parties enter into a separate written agreement signed by authorized representatives. That agreement will govern the scope, fees, responsibilities, confidentiality, ownership, limitations, and other terms of the engagement. If these Terms conflict with a signed client agreement regarding consulting services, the signed client agreement controls for that engagement.

5. Permitted and Prohibited Use

You may use the Site for lawful informational and business purposes. You may not:

• Use the Site in violation of any applicable law or regulation.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, servers, systems, accounts, or networks.
• Introduce malware, harmful code, automated attacks, or disruptive technologies.
• Scrape, harvest, copy, or systematically extract Site content or data in a manner that materially burdens the Site or violates applicable law.
• Misrepresent your identity, affiliation, or authority.
• Use the Site to transmit unlawful, fraudulent, defamatory, abusive, infringing, or malicious material.
• Interfere with security features or attempt to bypass access controls.

We may restrict or terminate access to the Site where reasonably necessary to protect the Site, our users, our business, or applicable rights.

6. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, the Site and its original content, text, graphics, logos, branding, layout, design elements, and other materials are owned by or licensed to The Darcy Group and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may view, download, or print reasonable portions of the Site for your own internal, noncommercial evaluation of The Darcy Group's services. You may not reproduce, republish, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, sell, sublicense, or commercially exploit Site materials without prior written permission, except as permitted by law.

Third-party names, marks, and content remain the property of their respective owners. Reference to a third party does not imply sponsorship or endorsement unless expressly stated.

7. Contact Forms and Communications

If you submit a contact form, email us, or otherwise communicate through the Site, you represent that the information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have authority to provide it.

Do not send trade secrets, controlled technical data, export-controlled information, regulated personal data, highly sensitive information, privileged material, or confidential information through the general Site contact form. Submission of information through the Site does not, by itself, create a confidential, fiduciary, or professional relationship.

8. Third-Party Links, Embeds, and Services

The Site may link to or embed third-party websites, forms, platforms, or services. Those third parties operate independently and may have their own terms, privacy policies, security practices, and accessibility practices. The Darcy Group does not control and is not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, or practices.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE DARCY GROUP DISCLAIMS WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, AVAILABILITY, OR SECURITY.

We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, free of harmful components, or suitable for any particular business decision. Past experience, accomplishments, examples, or results described on the Site do not guarantee future outcomes.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DARCY GROUP LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AND REPRESENTATIVES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR SIMILAR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING SOLELY FROM YOUR USE OF THE PUBLIC SITE, EXCLUDING LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LEGALLY BE LIMITED, WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations or exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you.

11. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless The Darcy Group LLC and its members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, agents, and representatives from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful misuse of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person's rights.

12. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to any mandatory law that provides otherwise, any dispute arising solely from use of the Site or these Terms will be brought in a state or federal court with jurisdiction in Orange County, California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

13. Changes, Suspension, and Severability

We may modify these Terms from time to time by posting an updated version on the Site. Changes are effective when posted unless otherwise stated. Your continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the revised Terms.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site without liability, subject to applicable law. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Failure to enforce a provision does not waive our right to enforce it later.
