Terms of Service

1. What the site is

KontorHQ is an advisory practice. The site exists to explain what we do, share writing, and let founders book a 30-minute intro call. Booking an intro call is a free conversation, not an engagement. Nothing on this page or anywhere on the site is a binding offer to perform paid services.

2. What the site isn’t

• Not legal, tax, accounting, immigration, securities, or investment advice.
• Not a substitute for talking to a lawyer, an accountant, or your own board.
• Not a guarantee of any outcome — US market entry is uncertain by nature.

The insights articles are general observations from operator experience. Apply them to your own situation with care.

3. Your responsibilities

When you use the site or contact us, you agree to:

• Provide accurate information when you book or subscribe.
• Not use the site to attack it, scrape it for commercial republication, send abusive messages, or do anything illegal.
• Treat any non-public information shared with you during conversations as confidential unless we’ve agreed otherwise in writing.

4. Intellectual property

The site, its design, copy, illustrations, code, and the KontorHQ name and marks are owned by KARTUPELIS LLC or used under license. You can:

• Read and share links to public pages and insights articles.
• Quote short passages with attribution and a link back.

You can’t:

• Republish full insights articles on another site or platform.
• Use the KontorHQ name, wordmark, or design system to suggest endorsement or affiliation.
• Resell, repackage, or train a machine-learning model on the site’s content without our written permission.

User-submitted content — anything you send us via email, the booking form, or a future contact form — remains yours. You grant us a non-exclusive right to read, store, and respond to it for the purpose of replying or delivering services you’ve engaged us for.

5. Third-party services

The site links to and embeds third-party tools — for booking, analytics, email, and payments. Each has its own terms and privacy policy. Using those features means you accept the relevant provider’s terms in addition to ours.

6. Privacy

How we handle personal data is described in the Privacy Policy. Reading these terms means you’ve also read that page.

7. Disclaimers

The site is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the maximum extent allowed by law, we disclaim all warranties — express, implied, statutory, or otherwise — including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We don’t promise the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any information on it is current.

Statements about market opportunities, regulatory dynamics, or business outcomes are operator observations, not promises. Don’t make a real-money decision based on a blog post.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, KARTUPELIS LLC and its principals, contractors, and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from your use of the site — including lost profits, lost data, lost opportunities, or business interruption — even if we were advised of the possibility.

For paid engagements, the limitation of liability set out in the signed engagement letter applies and governs. For use of the site outside of a signed engagement, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Nothing in this section limits liability for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or anything else that can’t be limited under applicable law.

9. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold KARTUPELIS LLC harmless from any third-party claim that arises from your misuse of the site or breach of these terms — including reasonable legal fees. We’ll tell you promptly if a claim comes in and let you participate in the defense at your cost.

10. Changes to the site and to these terms

We may change the site, remove pages, change copy, or take features down without notice. We may update these terms as the business evolves. Material changes will be flagged on the homepage or in the newsletter. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the current version. Continued use after a change means you accept the new terms.

11. Termination

We can suspend or block access to the site at our discretion — for example, if you abuse it or breach these terms. Sections that should reasonably survive (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, governing law) will survive any termination.

12. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, USA, without reference to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute that can’t be resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, and you consent to that jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer in the EU or UK, the mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country still apply where required by law, and you may also bring proceedings in your local courts where the law gives you that right.

13. Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement. These terms (with the Privacy Policy, and any signed engagement) are the whole agreement between us about the site.
• Severability. If a section is unenforceable, the rest still applies.
• No waiver. If we don’t enforce a right, that doesn’t waive it.
• Assignment. You can’t assign these terms without our written consent. We may assign them to a successor or affiliate.
• No partnership. Nothing here creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship.
