​​​Welcome to NCP Strategy. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the NCP Strategy website, resources, business assessments, and other content or services made available through our website.

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please discontinue use of the website.

 

1. About NCP Strategy

NCP Strategy provides business strategy and consulting services designed to help small businesses and organizations identify challenges, clarify priorities, develop actionable strategies, and move their businesses forward.

Information provided through this website is intended to help visitors learn about NCP Strategy, explore our services, access business resources, complete assessments, and inquire about potential consulting engagements.

​

2. Website Use

You may use the NCP Strategy website for lawful personal and business purposes.

You agree not to:

• Use the website for unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful purposes

• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website or related systems

• Interfere with the operation or security of the website

• Copy, reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit NCP Strategy content without permission

• Misrepresent your identity or provide intentionally false information through website forms

• Use automated systems to improperly access, scrape, or extract website content

NCP Strategy reserves the right to restrict access to the website when necessary to protect our business, users, systems, or intellectual property.

​

3. Business Assessments and Website Resources

NCP Strategy may provide business assessments, questionnaires, guides, worksheets, articles, downloads, and other educational resources.

These resources are intended to provide general business information and help users think strategically about their businesses and organizations.

Completing a business assessment does not create a consultant-client relationship between you and NCP Strategy.

Assessment results, recommendations, website content, and downloadable resources should not be considered legal, tax, accounting, financial, or other regulated professional advice.

You are responsible for determining whether and how to implement any information or recommendations provided through these resources.

​

4. Consulting Services

Submitting an inquiry, completing an assessment, scheduling a consultation, or communicating with NCP Strategy does not by itself establish a consulting relationship.

A formal consulting engagement begins only when NCP Strategy and the client agree to the applicable scope of work, pricing, and other engagement terms.

Specific consulting engagements may be governed by a separate proposal, statement of work, service agreement, contract, or similar document.

If there is a conflict between these website Terms and the terms of a signed client agreement relating to consulting services, the applicable client agreement will control with respect to that engagement.

​

5. No Guarantee of Business Results

NCP Strategy provides strategic guidance, recommendations, frameworks, planning support, and related consulting services designed to help clients make informed business decisions and take action toward their goals.

However, business results depend on many factors outside NCP Strategy's control.

NCP Strategy does not guarantee specific financial results, revenue increases, customer growth, profitability, business performance, marketing results, funding, investment, sales, or other outcomes from using our website, resources, assessments, recommendations, or consulting services.

Clients remain responsible for their business decisions and for determining whether and how to implement recommendations provided by NCP Strategy.

​

6. Client and User Responsibilities

You are responsible for ensuring that information you provide to NCP Strategy is accurate and sufficiently complete for the purpose for which it is provided.

When engaging NCP Strategy for consulting services, the quality and usefulness of our recommendations may depend on the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by the client.

You remain responsible for decisions concerning your business, organization, employees, customers, finances, operations, marketing, products, services, and other business activities.

​

8. Client Deliverables

Ownership and permitted use of materials specifically created for a client may be addressed in the applicable proposal, statement of work, or client agreement.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, NCP Strategy retains ownership of its pre-existing methodologies, frameworks, processes, templates, tools, know-how, and other intellectual property used in providing consulting services.

Providing a client with a deliverable does not automatically transfer ownership of NCP Strategy's underlying proprietary methodologies or intellectual property.

NCP Strategy may offer the ability to pay for services through the website, invoices, payment links, or third-party payment processors.

Pricing, payment schedules, deposits, cancellation terms, refunds, and other financial terms applicable to a specific consulting engagement will be communicated through the applicable proposal, invoice, service agreement, or other engagement documentation.
