Terms of Service

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering a binding agreement to:

• Create an account
• Purchase a product or service
• Enter into a consulting or coaching engagement
• Submit information on behalf of an organization
• Use a client portal

By using the website on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to act for that organization and bind it to these Terms where applicable.

2. Purpose of the Website

The Brightlyou website provides information about services that may include:

• Business operations consulting
• Process improvement
• Workflow design
• Policy and procedure development
• Leadership development
• Executive and leadership coaching
• Business coaching
• Workshops and speaking
• Artificial intelligence strategy
• Automation
• Business assessments
• Operational assessments
• Digital resources
• Custom applications
• Strategic advisory services

Website content is provided for general informational, educational, and business-development purposes. Availability of information on the website does not mean that every service is available to every visitor or in every location.

3. No Automatic Client Relationship

Visiting the website, submitting a form, completing an assessment, downloading a resource, subscribing to email, or scheduling an introductory consultation does not automatically create:

• A client relationship
• A consulting relationship
• A coaching relationship
• A fiduciary relationship
• A confidential professional relationship
• A partnership
• A joint venture
• An employment relationship

A formal Brightlyou client relationship begins only when the applicable parties execute a written agreement, proposal, statement of work, engagement letter, order form, or other approved contract. Brightlyou may accept or decline an inquiry or potential engagement at its discretion, subject to applicable law.

4. Separate Service Agreements

Consulting, coaching, training, speaking, implementation, custom-application, subscription, and other paid services may be governed by a separate:

• Proposal
• Contract
• Statement of work
• Order form
• Subscription agreement
• Program agreement
• Payment plan
• Cancellation policy

When a separate written agreement conflicts with these Terms, the separate written agreement controls for the service covered by that agreement. Project scope, deliverables, deadlines, fees, payment terms, cancellations, rescheduling, ownership, confidentiality, and warranties may be addressed in the applicable service agreement.

5. No Professional or Regulated Advice

Unless expressly stated in a signed agreement, website content and automated tools are not intended as:

• Legal advice
• Tax advice
• Accounting advice
• Investment advice
• Financial-planning advice
• Medical advice
• Mental-health treatment
• Insurance advice
• Employment-law advice
• Regulatory or compliance certification

Brightlyou’s coaching services are not psychotherapy, counseling, diagnosis, or treatment for a mental-health condition. You are responsible for consulting an appropriately licensed or qualified professional when advice in a regulated area is needed.

6. Assessments, Scoring, and Artificial Intelligence

Brightlyou may provide assessments, diagnostic tools, scores, summaries, recommendations, or artificial-intelligence-supported content. These tools are designed to support reflection, education, planning, business development, and informed discussion. Results may be based entirely or partially on:

• Information you provide
• Predetermined scoring logic
• Automated analysis
• Artificial intelligence
• General business frameworks
• Incomplete information

Assessment and AI-generated results may contain errors, omissions, or interpretations that do not fully reflect your circumstances. You agree to review results independently, use professional judgment, verify important information, and avoid relying on automated output as the sole basis for a significant decision. Brightlyou does not guarantee that an assessment, score, recommendation, forecast, or AI-generated output will be accurate, complete, current, or suitable for a particular purpose.

7. Results and Testimonials

Examples, case studies, testimonials, performance metrics, financial results, efficiency gains, and client outcomes describe particular experiences. They do not guarantee that another person or organization will achieve the same or similar results. Results depend on factors that may include:

• Starting conditions
• Leadership participation
• Staff participation
• Available resources
• Timely implementation
• Market conditions
• Technology
• Organizational culture
• Decision-making
• Follow-through
• Circumstances outside Brightlyou’s control

You remain responsible for your decisions, implementation, and business outcomes.

8. User Accounts

Certain features may require an account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate information
• Maintain current information
• Protect your login credentials
• Use a strong password
• Avoid sharing your account
• Notify Brightlyou of suspected unauthorized access
• Accept responsibility for activity conducted through your account

Brightlyou may suspend or restrict an account that appears compromised or is used in violation of these Terms.

9. Payments

When a product or service is available for purchase through the website:

• Prices will be displayed at the time of purchase
• Applicable taxes or processing charges may be added
• Payment may be processed by a third-party provider
• You authorize the applicable charges
• You agree to provide accurate billing information

Unless otherwise stated in writing, fees are quoted in United States dollars, payment obligations are not canceled merely because a purchaser does not fully use a service or resource, and refunds, credits, cancellations, and rescheduling are governed by the applicable offer, checkout terms, or separate service agreement. Brightlyou may correct pricing or technical errors and may cancel or refund an affected transaction when reasonably necessary.

10. Intellectual Property

The website and its original content are owned by or licensed to Brightlyou and may be protected by copyright, trademark, trade-secret, and other intellectual-property laws. Protected materials may include:

• Brightlyou’s name and logo

Except when expressly permitted in writing, you may not copy, reproduce, republish, sell, license, distribute, modify, translate, create derivative works, publicly display, publicly perform, reverse engineer, extract, scrape, repackage, or use Brightlyou materials to train another commercial product or system. You may use a purchased or downloaded resource only for the personal, internal, or organizational purpose described in the applicable offer.

12. User-Submitted Content

You retain ownership of original content you submit through the website. You grant Brightlyou a limited, nonexclusive license to access, store, reproduce, process, and use submitted content only as reasonably necessary to:

• Operate the website
• Respond to your request
• Provide a requested service
• Generate an assessment or report
• Maintain records
• Protect website security
• Comply with legal obligations

Brightlyou will not use your name, logo, testimonial, identifiable results, or confidential client information for public marketing without appropriate permission. You represent that you have authority to submit the content, the content is accurate to the best of your knowledge, the content does not violate another party’s rights, and your submission does not violate a confidentiality obligation.

• Trade secrets
• Protected health information
• Social Security numbers
• Passwords
• Bank credentials
• Full payment-card numbers
• Confidential employee records
• Information protected by a nondisclosure agreement
• Personal information belonging to another person without authority

A confidentiality obligation concerning a client engagement will be governed by the applicable signed agreement.

14. Third-Party Services

The website may integrate with or link to third-party services, including:

• Scheduling tools
• Payment processors
• Customer relationship management systems
• Email platforms
• Video platforms
• Social-media platforms
• Analytics services
• Automation providers
• Document tools
• External websites

Third-party services are governed by their own terms, policies, availability, and security practices. Brightlyou is not responsible for an independent third party’s content, availability, security, privacy practices, errors, fees, decisions, or performance. Use of a third-party service is at your discretion and may be subject to a separate agreement.

15. Website Availability and Changes

Brightlyou may:

• Update website content
• Add or remove features
• Modify service descriptions
• Change prices
• Suspend website access
• Perform maintenance
• Correct errors
• Discontinue a resource or feature

Brightlyou does not guarantee that the website will always be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or available.

16. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website, content, assessments, resources, and online tools are provided on an “as available” and “as is” basis. Brightlyou disclaims warranties not expressly stated in a signed agreement, including implied warranties of:

• Merchantability
• Fitness for a particular purpose
• Noninfringement
• Accuracy
• Completeness
• Availability
• Security
• Business success

Brightlyou does not warrant that the website will meet every requirement, information will always be current, errors will always be corrected, the website will be free from harmful components, a service inquiry will be accepted, or use of a resource will produce a specific result. Some jurisdictions do not permit certain warranty exclusions, so some exclusions may not apply to you.

17. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Brightlyou and its owners, officers, contractors, agents, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to:

• Website use
• Inability to use the website
• Reliance on website content
• Assessment or AI-generated output
• Loss of data
• Lost profits
• Lost revenue
• Business interruption
• Unauthorized account access
• Third-party services
• A decision made using website information

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Brightlyou’s total aggregate liability arising from the website will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid Brightlyou specifically for the website-based product or service giving rise to the claim during the preceding 12 months, or one hundred United States dollars. This limitation does not replace or alter liability terms contained in a separate signed service agreement. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

18. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Brightlyou and its owners, officers, contractors, agents, licensors, and service providers from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and reasonable expenses arising from:

• Your misuse of the website
• Your violation of these Terms
• Your violation of another party’s rights
• Content you submit
• Unauthorized activity through your account
• Your violation of applicable law

This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from Brightlyou’s conduct for which indemnification cannot lawfully be required.

19. Suspension or Termination

Brightlyou may restrict, suspend, or terminate access to the website or an account when reasonably necessary because of:

• Violation of these Terms
• Suspected fraud
• Security risks
• Unauthorized activity
• Nonpayment
• Misuse
• Legal requirements
• Discontinuation of a service

Provisions that logically should survive termination will remain effective, including provisions concerning intellectual property, payment obligations, disclaimers, liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution.

20. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Before filing a legal action, you and Brightlyou agree to make a reasonable good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally. A party initiating a dispute should send written notice describing the nature of the dispute, relevant facts, and the requested resolution. Notices to Brightlyou should be sent to hello@brightlyou.com.

If the dispute is not resolved informally, legal proceedings may be brought in a state or federal court with lawful jurisdiction over Brightlyou’s principal place of business, unless applicable law requires another location. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking emergency or injunctive relief when appropriate.

21. Electronic Communications

By using the website or providing an email address, you consent to receive communications electronically regarding:

• Inquiries
• Accounts
• Purchases
• Scheduling
• Services
• Policy updates
• Security
• Transactions

Electronic communications satisfy legal writing requirements to the extent permitted by law. Marketing communications remain subject to the choices described in the Privacy Policy.

22. Changes to These Terms

Brightlyou may update these Terms to reflect changes in:

• Website features
• Services
• Business practices
• Technology
• Legal requirements

The updated Terms will display a revised “Last Updated” date. Material changes may be communicated through the website, email, account notification, or another reasonable method. Continued use after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.
