Terms of Use.

Acceptance of terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of carasinstitute.com (the “Site”) and the advisory, coaching, BPO, CEO Peer Group, speaking, and content services offered by Caras Institute (“Caras Institute,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing the Site or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or our services.

Description of services

Caras Institute provides business advisory and management consulting, executive coaching, business process outsourcing, a paid CEO Peer Group program, public speaking and keynote engagements, and related books and companion app content (collectively, the “Services”). Services are offered to business owners, executives, and their organizations and are provided based on the information and access made available to us by the client.

Not professional advice

Content on the Site, in our books, and delivered through coaching, advisory, or speaking engagements reflects general business guidance based on experience and judgment. It is not a substitute for independent legal, tax, accounting, financial, or regulatory advice specific to your business. You should consult a qualified professional before acting on any recommendation.

Use of the site

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of, or restrict or inhibit the use of, the Site by anyone else. Prohibited uses include, without limitation:

• Attempting to gain unauthorized access to the Site, our systems, or another user’s account;
• Uploading or transmitting viruses, malware, or any code of a destructive nature;
• Scraping, harvesting, or otherwise collecting information about other visitors without consent;
• Impersonating Caras Institute, our staff, or any other person or entity.

Intellectual property

All content on the Site — including text, graphics, logos, the Fundamentally Unstoppable framework and THRIVE Method, videos, and design — is owned by or licensed to Caras Institute and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any content on the Site without our prior written consent.

Bookings & communications

When you book a discovery call or submit an inquiry through the Site, you consent to be contacted by Caras Institute by phone, email, or text regarding your request. Discovery calls are offered at no cost and do not, by themselves, create an advisory, coaching, or client relationship — that relationship begins only once a separate engagement agreement is signed.

Paid programs & payment

Programs such as the CEO Peer Group are offered on a paid, recurring or fixed-term basis as described at the time of enrollment. By enrolling, you authorize us (or our payment processor) to charge the applicable fees to your chosen payment method. Seats, refund eligibility, and cancellation terms for a specific program are governed by the enrollment agreement provided to you at signup, which controls in the event of any conflict with these Terms.

Third-party links

The Site may link to or embed third-party content, including YouTube videos and our book’s Amazon listing. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of third-party sites.

Testimonials

Testimonials and client quotes featured on the Site reflect the individual experiences of the clients quoted. They are shared with permission and have not been independently verified beyond the client’s own account. Your results will depend on factors specific to your business and effort.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Caras Institute and its principals, employees, and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or related to your use of the Site or Services, including lost profits or business interruption, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. The Site and its content are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Caras Institute from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or misuse of the Site or Services.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Hillsborough County, Florida.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these Terms at any time. Updates will be reflected by a new effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
