Terms of Service
Last Updated: July 9, 2026 | Version: 1.0
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using this website (tmrsystem.com) or engaging TMR System LLC for consulting services, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, do not use this website or services.
These terms apply to all users, including clients, prospective clients, contractors, and website visitors.
2. Website Use
License
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use this website for informational purposes only. You may not reproduce, distribute, or transmit any content without written permission.
Prohibited Use
You agree not to:
- Use the website for illegal purposes or in violation of applicable laws
- Harass, threaten, or defame anyone
- Transmit viruses, malware, or disruptive code
- Scrape or automated data collection without permission
- Reverse-engineer or attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems
- Interfere with the website’s normal operation
3. Consulting Services
Engagement Agreements
Consulting services are provided under a separate written engagement agreement (also called a Statement of Work, Service Agreement, or Proposal). That agreement, together with these terms, constitutes the entire agreement between you and TMR System.
Specific terms in an engagement agreement (scope, timeline, fees, deliverables, payment terms) override any general language in these terms.
Scope and Deliverables
TMR System will deliver only the services and deliverables explicitly listed in your engagement agreement. Scope changes must be documented in writing and may require additional fees or timeline adjustments.
Our approach: We diagnose first, then enable. Enablement services always follow a diagnostic phase. We do not provide ongoing managed services; we build systems and transfer ownership to you.
No Guarantees
TMR System provides consulting services on an “as-is” basis. While we apply industry best practices and our experience, we do not guarantee specific outcomes, revenue, funding, organizational changes, or other results.
Success depends on your organization’s implementation, leadership commitment, and external market factors beyond our control.
Fees and Payment
Consulting fees are as stated in your engagement agreement. Unless otherwise specified:
- A 50% deposit is due upon signing; the balance is due within 15 days of project completion
- Late payments accrue interest at the Minnesota statutory rate
- TMR System retains the right to pause work if invoices remain unpaid for 30+ days
Confidentiality
TMR System will maintain the confidentiality of your non-public business information. You authorize us to:
- Use anonymized or aggregated data from your engagement for case studies, blog posts, and thought leadership (unless you explicitly opt out in writing)
- Reference your organization by name as a TMR System client (unless you opt out)
- Share findings and recommendations internally with our team and contractors as needed to deliver services
Intellectual Property
Client Data: You retain all rights to your organizational data, strategies, and proprietary information. We are the custodian and processor only.
TMR Deliverables: We grant you a license to use all project deliverables (reports, recommendations, analyses, templates, frameworks) for your internal business purposes. You may not resell or redistribute them without written permission.
Pre-Existing Materials: Industry-standard best practices, frameworks, and methodologies we apply remain TMR System’s intellectual property and may be used across multiple clients.
4. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:
TMR System is not liable for:
- Indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages
- Loss of revenue, profit, data, or business opportunity
- Damage to your reputation or third-party claims
- Any damages arising from implementation of our recommendations by you or a third party
Our total liability under any engagement shall not exceed the fees paid for that engagement.
5. Disclaimers
Website Content
All content on this website (blog posts, case studies, descriptions, resources) is provided for informational purposes only. It is not financial, legal, tax, or investment advice. Consult a qualified professional (attorney, accountant, advisor) before making business decisions based on website content.
Third-Party Links
Our website may link to third-party websites. We do not endorse or assume responsibility for external content, privacy practices, or accuracy. Use third-party sites at your own risk.
No Professional Licensing
TMR System consultants are not licensed accountants, attorneys, or regulated financial advisors. While we provide strategic guidance on financial management, compliance frameworks, and organizational structure, we are not acting as your CPA, lawyer, or investment advisor.
6. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless TMR System, its owners, contractors, and employees from any claims, damages, or costs arising from:
- Your use of the website or services in violation of these terms
- Your violation of applicable law
- Your infringement of third-party intellectual property rights
- Disputes with your team, board, funders, or other stakeholders arising from our recommendations
7. Termination
TMR System reserves the right to terminate service to anyone who:
- Violates these terms
- Engages in illegal activity
- Harasses or threatens our team
- Has not paid invoices for 60+ days
Upon termination, you remain liable for all outstanding fees. We will return or destroy your confidential data as specified in your engagement agreement or within 30 days of request.
8. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to conflicts of law. Any legal action or proceeding must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Minnesota.
9. Dispute Resolution
Before pursuing formal legal action, we encourage you to contact us at partners@tmrsystem.com to attempt to resolve any dispute in good faith.
If we cannot resolve a dispute within 30 days, either party may pursue legal remedies available under Minnesota law.
10. Severability
If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full effect.
11. Entire Agreement
These terms, together with your engagement agreement (if you are a client) and our privacy policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and TMR System regarding the website and services. All previous agreements, understandings, and communications are superseded.
12. Changes to Terms
We may update these terms at any time. Changes apply to new engagements and future website use. Existing client engagements continue under the terms in effect when the engagement began, unless both parties agree otherwise in writing.
