Last updated: 2025 · These terms govern use of this website; consulting engagements are governed by their own written agreements.
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your use of the website operated by JIP CONSULTING LLC (the "Firm," "we," "us") at jipcons.shop (the "Site"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
The Firm is an Ohio limited liability company with its business address at 42 Botsford St, Youngstown, 44514, United States. The Site describes the Firm's management and specialist consulting services — spanning strategy, people, market, operations, environmental and technical practices — and provides a channel to contact the Firm. The Site is informational; it does not process orders, payments or account registrations.
Submitting a brief, sending an email, or calling the Firm does not create a consulting engagement or an adviser–client relationship. An engagement exists only under a written proposal, engagement letter or contract accepted by both parties. Descriptions of practices on the Site are general in nature — scope, deliverables, timing, fees and any warranties for a specific engagement are defined exclusively in that engagement's written agreement.
Content on the Site — including practice descriptions, the issue-tree method, worked examples and FAQ — is provided for general information. It is not professional advice of any kind and is not tailored to your circumstances. Do not act or refrain from acting on the basis of Site content; consult a qualified professional about your specific situation.
Certain practices described on the Site touch regulated areas. In particular:
Nothing on the Site constitutes legal, tax, investment, medical, engineering or other licensed professional advice.
The Firm provides consulting — analysis, advice and written recommendations. Clients retain responsibility for decisions, implementation and outcomes. A recommendation accepted or declined is the client's decision; the Firm does not warrant any particular business result, saving, outcome or improvement.
Information sent through the Site is handled per our Privacy Policy. Submitting an inquiry does not itself create an attorney–client, accountant–client or similar privileged relationship. Please do not send highly sensitive or regulated data (e.g., health records, export-controlled material) before a confidentiality arrangement is in place; ask for a secure transfer channel when engaging us on confidential matters.
When using the Site you agree not to: (a) misrepresent your identity or affiliation; (b) submit false, fraudulent or harassing inquiries; (c) attempt to probe, scan, attack or overload the Site or its hosting infrastructure; (d) scrape or harvest Site content for unsolicited commercial purposes; (e) use the Site in violation of any applicable law or regulation.
The Site's text, layout, graphics, diagrams and compiled code are owned by or licensed to the Firm and its developer. You may view and print pages for personal or internal business evaluation of the Firm's services. Other reproduction, republication or derivative use requires prior written consent. Deliverables produced under an engagement are governed by that engagement's agreement, not by this section.
The Site may reference third-party organizations, publications or standards. Such references are informational and do not constitute endorsement or affiliation; the Firm is not responsible for third-party content or availability.
THE SITE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of harmful components. Representations about engagement quality, deliverables and outcomes appear only in engagement agreements — never on this Site.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE FIRM AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SITE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. In no event will the Firm's aggregate liability arising from use of the Site exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100). Claims arising from consulting engagements are governed exclusively by the applicable engagement agreement and are not limited by this section.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Firm from claims, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your misuse of the Site, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party in connection with the Site.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in or covering Mahoning County, Ohio, and you consent to their jurisdiction and venue.
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary and the remainder enforced. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
We may revise these Terms by posting an updated version with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
