ApreGrow Terms of Use

By using apregrow.com, booking a call, or contacting us through this site, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the site. Section 17 requires most disputes to be resolved by individual arbitration and waives jury trials and class actions. Please read it.

 

 

1. Accepting these terms

 

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of apregrow.com and any page, form, booking tool or content connected to it (the "Site"). You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Site.

 

If you use the Site on behalf of a business or public body, you confirm you are authorized to accept these Terms for it, and "you" includes that organization.

 

The Site is intended for business owners, organizations and public bodies. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

 

 

2. Who we are

 

The Site is operated by ApreGrow Strategy & Consulting LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company based in Pinedale, Wyoming ("ApreGrow," "we," "us" or "our"). We provide business strategy, operations support, marketing strategy, fractional COO services, and bid, proposal and grant strategy.

 

 

3. No client relationship from using the Site

 

Reading the Site, submitting a form, sending an email, calling us, or attending a free strategy call does not make you our client and does not create any advisory, fiduciary, agency or confidential relationship.

 

A client relationship begins only when you and ApreGrow sign our Client Services Agreement or a written proposal or statement of work. That signed agreement governs all paid services. If it conflicts with these Terms, the signed agreement controls.

 

Do not send us confidential, proprietary or sensitive information, including protected health information (PHI), through the Site or before a written agreement is in place. Information you send before then is not treated as confidential.

 

 

4. Professional disclaimers

 

Everything on the Site is general business information. It is not advice for your specific situation, and you should not act on it without professional advice that fits your circumstances.

 

Not legal advice

 

ApreGrow is not a law firm, and no one at ApreGrow is acting as your attorney. Contract clauses, bid terms, procurement rules, compliance topics and any other legal subject discussed on the Site or by us are not legal advice.

 

Not accounting, tax or financial advice

 

We are not CPAs, tax preparers, investment advisors or financial planners.

 

Not licensed construction or design services

 

We are not a licensed general contractor, architect, engineer, inspector or code official. Code, permitting and inspection research is informational. The authority having jurisdiction and your licensed professionals make all final determinations. We do not stamp, certify or approve plans, means and methods, or jobsite safety.

 

Not clinical, billing or coding services

 

We do not provide medical or behavioral health services, submit insurance claims, perform medical coding, or guarantee reimbursement. We review healthcare business workflows and help practices find and set up their own resources. We do not access PHI without a signed Business Associate Agreement.

 

Not lobbying

 

We do not lobby or attempt to influence any official, legislator or agency decision on anyone's behalf unless a separate written agreement expressly covers it.

 

Fractional COO services are advisory

 

Fractional COO and operational leadership services are advisory. We do not become an officer, director, manager, employee or fiduciary of your business.

 

 

5. Fees and when percentage fees are allowed

 

Prices on the Site, including our hourly rate, retainers and project minimums, are starting points. Your actual price is set in a written quote or signed agreement. We may change posted prices at any time.

 

We offer a percentage representation fee on some bids and projects. Percentage and success-based fees are not allowed on every opportunity. Federal contracts, federal grant funds, and many state, local and foundation opportunities restrict or prohibit them. We only charge a percentage fee where the opportunity's rules and the law allow it. Where they do not, we quote hourly or a flat fee, which is due regardless of the outcome.

 

• Private owner, developer, resort or business bid. Percentage fee usually available?: Usually yes What we charge instead: Percentage, hourly or flat, your choice

• Private art commission or private RFP. Percentage fee usually available?: Usually yes What we charge instead: Percentage, hourly or flat, your choice

• Subcontract under a private prime contract. Percentage fee usually available?: Usually yes, subject to the prime contract What we charge instead: Percentage, hourly or flat

• Federal contract. Percentage fee usually available?: Usually no What we charge instead: Hourly or flat

• Subcontract under a federal prime contract. Percentage fee usually available?: Usually no What we charge instead: Hourly or flat

• State, county, town or special district procurement. Percentage fee usually available?: Varies What we charge instead: Decided per solicitation

• State, local or private foundation grant. Percentage fee usually available?: Often no What we charge instead: Decided per funder

 

You are responsible for confirming your own eligibility, for any fee, lobbying or conflict disclosures an opportunity requires, and for paying our fees only from permitted sources.

 

 

6. Results, win rates and testimonials

 

We do not guarantee any contract award, bid win, grant, funding, permit, inspection result, reimbursement, revenue, profit, sales, growth, search ranking or other outcome. Results depend on many factors outside our control, including evaluators, competitors, markets, funders, regulators and your own effort and performance.

 

Case studies and client results on the Site are examples of exceptional outcomes. They are not typical, and your results will vary. Any win rate or proposal acceptance rate we publish is historical, based on our own records for the period and proposal types stated with it, and is not a prediction or promise. Supporting records are available on request.

 

Testimonials reflect the individual experience of the person giving them. Unless stated otherwise next to a testimonial, the person was not paid or given anything of value for it. Client stories are shared with permission or in anonymized form.

 

 

7. Free strategy calls and bookings

 

By booking a free strategy call, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. Free calls are informational only. They are not advice you should rely on and create no obligation for either party.

 

• If you have not joined within 5 minutes of the start time, we may send a reminder and end the call.

• To reschedule, contact us by email or phone. Weekend calls may be available on request by email.

• We may decline or cancel any booking and may decline any engagement for any lawful reason.

 

 

8. Communications

 

When you submit a form or book a call, you agree that we may contact you by email or phone about your inquiry. We will not send you marketing text messages or autodialed or prerecorded calls without your separate express written consent, and consent is never a condition of doing business with us.

 

You can unsubscribe from our marketing emails at any time using the link in the email. You agree that electronic communications, notices and signatures satisfy any requirement that they be in writing.

 

 

9. Third-party tools, links and vendor referrals

 

The Site may link to or use third-party websites and tools, including scheduling, website, email and analytics providers. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, availability, security or privacy practices. Your use of them is governed by their terms.

 

We may recommend outside vendors such as billing companies, printers, developers, insurers or licensed professionals. Each vendor is an independent business. We do not guarantee their work, pricing, licensing or results and are not liable for their acts or omissions. You decide whether to hire any vendor. If we receive a referral fee or other benefit from a vendor we recommend, we will tell you before you engage that vendor.

 

 

10. We serve other clients

 

We work with many businesses, including businesses in the same industry or market as you, and sometimes businesses pursuing the same opportunity. We do not share one client's confidential pricing, strategy or submissions with another. If we learn that two clients are competing for the same solicitation, we disclose it and may withdraw from one or both engagements.

 

 

11. Intellectual property

 

The Site and its content, including text, graphics, images, layouts, templates, the ApreGrow name and logo, and the selection and arrangement of content, are owned by ApreGrow or its licensors and protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. You may view and print pages for your personal, non-commercial use only. No other license is granted.

 

Without our written permission, you may not copy, reproduce, republish, frame, scrape, sell, create derivative works from, or use any Site content to train or build artificial intelligence or machine learning systems.

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, APREGROW DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS AND RESULTS.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). LIABILITY FOR PAID SERVICES IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR SIGNED CLIENT SERVICES AGREEMENT.

 

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limits, so some of these may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless ApreGrow and its members, employees, contractors and agents from all claims, losses, damages, penalties and costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising from your use of the Site, information you submit, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

Governing law

 

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

 

Informal resolution first

 

Before starting any proceeding, you agree to contact us at crystal@apregrow.com and try in good faith to resolve the dispute for at least 30 days.

 

Binding individual arbitration

 

Any dispute arising from or relating to the Site or these Terms that is not resolved informally will be decided by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, seated in Sublette County, Wyoming, with remote hearings allowed. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

 

Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, and ApreGrow may seek an injunction in court to protect its intellectual property or to collect amounts owed. Venue for any court action is the state courts of Sublette County, Wyoming, or the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

 

YOU AND APREGROW EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. CLAIMS MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT INDIVIDUALLY.

 

Time limit

 

To the extent permitted by law, any claim related to the Site must be brought within one year after it arises, or it is permanently barred.

 

Attorney's fees

 

The prevailing party in any proceeding related to these Terms may recover its reasonable attorney's fees and costs.

Some pages and services are offered in Spanish as a courtesy. We are not certified translators. If a Spanish version of any page or of these Terms conflicts with the English version, the English version controls.
