Terms of Service

Effective: July 7, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of piercestrategicadvisors.com (the “Site”), operated by Pierce Strategic Advisors, LLC (“Pierce Strategic Advisors,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. The Site Is Informational

The Site exists to describe the practice of Pierce Strategic Advisors, LLC, including the founder’s background and the fractional executive, coaching, and board & advisory services offered. Information on the Site is for general informational purposes only.

Nothing on the Site constitutes legal, financial, tax, investment, accounting, or other professional advice. Reading the Site, submitting an inquiry, or having an introductory conversation does not create a professional, fiduciary, or advisory relationship between you and Martin Pierce or Pierce Strategic Advisors, LLC. A professional engagement begins only upon the execution of a separate written engagement agreement.

2. Inquiries Through the Site

Submitting an inquiry through the Site is an expression of interest. It does not obligate Pierce Strategic Advisors to engage with you, and it does not obligate you to proceed further. All terms governing a paid engagement — fees, scope, deliverables, schedules, confidentiality, and termination — are set forth in a separate written engagement agreement between you and Pierce Strategic Advisors, LLC. These Terms govern only your use of the Site and do not modify or supersede any executed engagement agreement.

3. Related Brands and Sites

Coaching services are delivered under a separate brand of Pierce Strategic Advisors, LLC, The Commanding Growth Program, which operates through its own website at commandinggrowth.com. Use of that site is governed by the terms and privacy policy posted there, not by these Terms.

4. Acceptable Use

By using the Site, you agree that you will not:

• Use the Site or its contents for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law
• Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information through the inquiry form
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, any associated systems, or any data not intended for you
• Use any automated tool (bot, scraper, crawler, or similar) to extract content or submit submissions
• Reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works of any content on the Site without prior written permission, except as expressly permitted under “Intellectual Property” below
• Interfere with the operation of the Site, including by introducing malicious code or by overwhelming systems with excessive traffic
• Impersonate Martin Pierce, Pierce Strategic Advisors, LLC, or any other person or entity

5. Intellectual Property

All content on the Site — including text, layouts, brand marks, logos, graphics, photography, and the proprietary methodologies and frameworks described — is the property of Pierce Strategic Advisors, LLC or its licensors and is protected by United States and international copyright and other intellectual property laws.

“Pierce Strategic Advisors” is used in commerce as an unregistered service mark of Pierce Strategic Advisors, LLC. Pierce Strategic Advisors, LLC asserts common-law trademark rights in this mark based on its use in commerce in connection with the services described on the Site.

You may view, print, and download Site content for your own personal, non-commercial reference. Any other use — including reproduction, redistribution, public display, modification, or use of the content in connection with any commercial offering — requires prior written permission.

6. Privacy

Your use of the Site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Please review it to understand how we collect, use, and protect information.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE AND ITS CONTENTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PIERCE STRATEGIC ADVISORS, LLC DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, RELIABILITY, OR UNINTERRUPTED ACCESS.

We do not warrant that the Site will be available at all times, that defects will be corrected, or that the Site or the servers that make it available are free of viruses or other harmful components. Any reliance you place on Site content is at your own risk.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PIERCE STRATEGIC ADVISORS, LLC, MARTIN PIERCE INDIVIDUALLY, AND ANY OF THEIR AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR ITS CONTENTS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SITE IS LIMITED TO ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100), WHICH YOU AGREE IS A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK GIVEN THE INFORMATIONAL NATURE OF THE SITE.

This Section does not limit liability for any matter for which liability cannot, under applicable law, be limited or excluded, and it does not modify the terms of any executed engagement agreement, which has its own liability provisions.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Pierce Strategic Advisors, LLC, Martin Pierce individually, and any of their agents or contractors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your violation of these Terms; (b) your violation of any applicable law; or (c) your misuse of the Site or its contents.

10. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or reference third-party services (such as Formspree for form processing). We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their content, practices, or privacy policies. Your use of any third-party site or service is at your own risk and is governed by that party’s terms.

11. Modifications

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective” date at the top of this document. Continued use of the Site after the effective date of any update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, your remedy is to discontinue use of the Site.

12. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Greenville County, South Carolina, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

14. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any executed engagement agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and Pierce Strategic Advisors, LLC with respect to the Site. These Terms do not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and us.
