Terms of Use

These Terms of Use apply to kompactadvisory.com and the articles, assessments, downloadable tools, and other resources made available through the website. The website is owned and operated by Kompact Advisory Group, LLC.

By accessing or using the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

General Information Only

The website provides general information and practical resources related to human resources, people operations, leadership, organizational effectiveness, and business operations.

Website content is not legal, tax, accounting, medical, financial, or other regulated professional advice. It is not a substitute for advice based on the specific facts, laws, policies, agreements, and circumstances affecting your organization.

Human resources decisions may involve employment laws, collective bargaining agreements, organizational policies, employee rights, and other requirements that vary by jurisdiction and situation. You are responsible for determining whether qualified HR, legal, or other professional guidance is needed before taking action.

No Consulting Relationship

Using the website, completing an assessment, downloading a resource, sending an email, or submitting a consultation request does not create a consulting, advisory, attorney-client, fiduciary, employment, or other professional relationship with Kompact Advisory Group.

A consulting relationship begins only after Kompact Advisory Group and the client have agreed to a written engagement that defines the scope and terms of the services.

Please do not send confidential employee information, medical information, legal case details, disciplinary records, Social Security numbers, financial account information, or other sensitive information through the website or general email.

Assessments and Results

Website assessments are educational tools intended to help users consider general organizational conditions and identify areas that may warrant further review. Results are based only on the responses selected and are not a comprehensive assessment, audit, investigation, compliance review, or professional recommendation.

Assessment results do not guarantee a particular business, legal, operational, employee, or organizational outcome. They should be considered a starting point for discussion and not the sole basis for an employment or business decision.

Downloadable Tools and Resources

Kompact Advisory Group may provide templates, planners, checklists, guides, and other downloadable resources for general business use.

You may download, print, and reproduce these resources for your own individual use or for internal use within your organization. You may enter information into fillable areas and make reasonable adjustments needed for internal application, provided that you do not remove Kompact Advisory Group’s name, copyright notices, disclaimers, or other ownership information.

Unless you receive prior written permission from Kompact Advisory Group, you may not:

• Sell, license, sublicense, or commercially distribute a resource

Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and its content, assessments, downloads, and resources are provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.

Kompact Advisory Group does not warrant that a resource will meet every user’s needs, identify every risk, ensure compliance, prevent a dispute, or produce a particular result. You remain responsible for reviewing and adapting any information or resource before relying on it.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Kompact Advisory Group, LLC and its owners, officers, contractors, and representatives will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to your access to, use of, or inability to use the website or its resources.

This includes damages associated with business decisions, employment decisions, data loss, lost revenue, operational interruption, or reliance on website content or assessment results.

If liability cannot be excluded entirely, the total liability arising from use of the website or a free website resource will not exceed the amount you paid, if any, specifically to access that website resource.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded.

Your continued use of the website after updated terms are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Severability

If any part of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
