Terms & Conditions

Effective and last updated: July 22, 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of harriscourtconsulting.com and any related pages, forms, content, and communications operated under the name Harris Court HR & Finance Consulting (collectively, the "Website"). By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Website.

1. About Harris Court

Harris Court HR & Finance Consulting ("Harris Court," "we," "us," or "our") provides human-resources, finance, bookkeeping, administrative, operational, and related business consulting services. The Website is intended primarily for businesses and their authorized representatives.

2. Website Information Is Not Professional Advice

Website content is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not legal, tax, investment, audit, medical, insurance, or other licensed professional advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who has reviewed your circumstances.

No attorney-client, accountant-client, fiduciary, employment, or consulting relationship is created by visiting the Website, subscribing to communications, submitting a form, or scheduling an introductory conversation. A consulting relationship begins only when the parties sign a written engagement agreement.

3. No Guarantee of Results

Business, employment, compliance, financial, and operational outcomes depend on facts and circumstances beyond our control. Examples, estimates, testimonials, and descriptions of potential results are illustrative only. We do not promise or guarantee any particular savings, revenue, compliance result, business outcome, or employment outcome.

4. Consultation Requests and Communications

Submitting a consultation request does not require Harris Court to accept an engagement or respond within a particular period. You represent that information you submit is accurate and that you are authorized to provide it.

Do not send Social Security numbers, bank-account credentials, payment-card information, medical information, payroll files, employee complaints, personnel records, tax returns, or other sensitive or confidential materials through the Website or ordinary email unless Harris Court has expressly authorized a secure transmission method.

Email and internet communications may not be secure or error-free. You are responsible for confirming urgent or time-sensitive communications through an appropriate channel.

5. Services and Engagement Agreements

Any paid services will be governed by a separate written proposal, statement of work, engagement letter, or services agreement. If that agreement conflicts with these Terms regarding the paid services, the signed agreement controls. Scope, fees, payment timing, refunds, deliverables, confidentiality, ownership, termination, and client responsibilities will be determined by the applicable agreement.

6. Appointments, Payments, and Third-Party Services

The Website may offer appointment scheduling or links to third-party scheduling tools. Availability is not guaranteed, and appointments may be rescheduled or canceled subject to the terms shown when booking.

Payments may be invoiced or processed through QuickBooks or another third-party payment provider. Harris Court does not directly receive or store complete payment-card or bank-login credentials submitted through a provider's secure interface. Your use of third-party services is also subject to their terms and privacy practices.

Unless a written engagement agreement states otherwise, payments are due as stated on the applicable invoice. Refunds, credits, late charges, and disputed amounts are governed by the signed agreement and invoice terms, subject to applicable law.

7. Newsletter and Electronic Communications

If you subscribe to our newsletter or request information, you consent to receive relevant electronic communications. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in the message. We may still send non-marketing communications relating to an inquiry, appointment, transaction, security issue, or active engagement.

8. Acceptable Use

You may use the Website only for lawful purposes. You may not interfere with the Website; attempt unauthorized access; introduce malicious code; scrape or harvest information through automated means without written permission; impersonate another person; submit unlawful, infringing, deceptive, or abusive content; or use Website content to compete with Harris Court through unauthorized copying or resale.

9. Intellectual Property

The Website and its original text, graphics, branding, logos, design, downloads, templates, and other content are owned by or licensed to Harris Court and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may view and print reasonable portions for your internal, noncommercial evaluation of Harris Court's services. No other license is granted. You may not reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, sell, sublicense, or create derivative works from Website content without prior written permission.

10. Third-Party Links

The Website may link to third-party websites or services for convenience. Harris Court does not control and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, terms, or privacy practices. A link does not imply endorsement.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE WEBSITE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." HARRIS COURT DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES REGARDING THE WEBSITE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, AND SECURITY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS. Some jurisdictions do not permit certain warranty exclusions, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HARRIS COURT AND ITS OWNERS, PERSONNEL, CONTRACTORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE WEBSITE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HARRIS COURT'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS ARISING SOLELY FROM USE OF THE WEBSITE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID HARRIS COURT specifically for access to the Website during the six months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. This limitation does not apply where prohibited by law and does not modify liability terms in a separately signed engagement agreement.

13. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Harris Court and its owners, personnel, and contractors from third-party claims, damages, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful misuse of the Website, violation of these Terms, or infringement of another person's rights. This provision does not require indemnification for Harris Court's own unlawful conduct, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.

14. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information through the Website are described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

15. Changes and Availability

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Website and may update these Terms. Updated Terms become effective when posted with a revised effective date, unless applicable law requires additional notice. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any action arising solely from the Website or these Terms must be brought in a state or federal court with jurisdiction in Fresno County, California, and each party consents to that venue, except where applicable consumer law requires otherwise.

17. Severability; Waiver; Entire Agreement

If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement concerning use of the Website; signed engagement agreements separately govern paid services.
