These Terms of Service govern your use of vaival.com and the free content, downloads, newsletters, and calculators we make available on the site. Paid services from Vaival (Operating Leverage Audit, Workflow Leverage Sprint, 100-Day Operating Leverage Program, Managed Operating Pod) are governed by a separate engagement letter signed before work begins; where the engagement letter conflicts with these Terms, the engagement letter controls.

By using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

Using the site means you accept these Terms and the Privacy Policy in their current form. If you do not accept, you must stop using the site. If you are using the site on behalf of an organization, you confirm you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" in these Terms means both you and that organization.

Vaival operates as one operating group across multiple legal entities (see the Privacy Policy for the full list). For the purposes of these Terms, the contracting entity for your use of the site is Vaival LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, unless an engagement letter specifies a different Vaival entity for a specific engagement.

These Terms cover use of the website and free site resources only. Paid engagements with Vaival are governed by the engagement letter for that engagement. Where the engagement letter and these Terms conflict, the engagement letter controls.

This site is a marketing and information surface for Vaival's services. It describes what Vaival does, how we work, what we have committed to in writing, and how to start a conversation with us. It is not a product, not a software-as-a-service offering, and not a substitute for professional advice.

Information on the site is general in nature. Operating, financial, tax, legal, or regulatory decisions for your business should be informed by direct engagement with Vaival under an engagement letter or by independent professional advice appropriate to your situation.

You may use the site for lawful business purposes. You may read pages, download materials we make publicly available, subscribe to communications, and contact us about an engagement.

You may not:

• copy or republish substantial portions of the site for commercial purposes without our written permission;
• use the site or its contents to train any machine learning model;
• scrape, crawl, or harvest data from the site in a way that interferes with normal site operation;
• upload or transmit malware, exploit code, or anything intended to compromise the site or other users;
• impersonate Vaival, Vaival personnel, or any third party;
• use the site to violate any applicable law or to facilitate any third party violating any applicable law.

The site, including all text, graphics, layouts, code, methodology frameworks, and selection and arrangement of content, is the intellectual property of Vaival or its licensors. Vaival's name, logo, product names, and trademark equivalents are protected. Nothing on the site grants any license or right in Vaival's intellectual property except as expressly stated.

If you submit information to Vaival through the site (for example, in a contact form, an inquiry, or a subscription form), you retain ownership of that information. You grant Vaival a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, store, and process that information for the purpose of responding to your inquiry, providing services you have engaged us for, and operating the business in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

From time to time Vaival makes downloadable materials, newsletters, and interactive tools (such as calculators) available on the site without charge. These resources are provided as-is and for informational purposes only. Vaival makes no representation that any free resource will produce a particular result in your business, and you use them at your own risk and discretion.

If you subscribe to a newsletter or other recurring communication, you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email, or by contacting us using the details in Section 14.

When you contact Vaival through the site, by email, or through any communication channel we offer, the resulting correspondence is governed by the Privacy Policy and, if it leads to a paid engagement, by the engagement letter for that engagement.

Where we record a meeting (for example, a discovery call or a working session under an engagement), we will tell you before the recording begins and obtain your consent. You may decline; the meeting will proceed without recording.

The site and all content, downloads, newsletters, calculators, and free resources are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Vaival does not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure against intrusion, or free of viruses or other harmful code. Vaival does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any content on the site for any specific purpose.

These disclaimers apply to the website and free site resources only. The terms of any paid engagement, including any service warranties Vaival makes under it, are set out in the engagement letter for that engagement.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Vaival, its entities, officers, employees, contractors, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the site or any free site resource, even if Vaival has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Vaival's total cumulative liability to you for any direct damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the site or any free site resource, regardless of the basis of the claim, will not exceed one hundred United States dollars (US$100).

This limitation applies to use of the website and free site resources only. Liability for paid engagements is governed by the engagement letter for that engagement and is not subject to this Section.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, in which case the limitations above apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Vaival, its entities, officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates from any claim, demand, loss, liability, damages, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the site in violation of these Terms or in violation of any applicable law.

Vaival may suspend or terminate your access to the site at any time, for any reason or no reason, without notice and without liability. You may stop using the site at any time. Termination does not affect any provision of these Terms that by its nature should survive termination, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law.

These Terms and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without reference to its conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach, termination, or invalidity of these Terms, will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take place in Wilmington, Delaware, or remotely by agreement of the parties. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights or confidential information.

Engagement-letter override. For paid services, the engagement letter for that engagement may specify alternative governing law and dispute resolution for that specific engagement; the engagement letter controls where it conflicts with this Section.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of the page. Material changes will be highlighted at the top of the Terms. Your continued use of the site after a change becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms; if you do not accept, you must stop using the site.
