Effective Date: July, 2025

Welcome to the website of EKS Franchise Consultants (“EKS,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website, digital resources, and advisory-related content (collectively, the “Site”).

By using this Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes. You may not:

• Violate any local, state, national, or international law
   
• Upload or transmit unsolicited promotional materials without written permission
   
• Impersonate EKS, our personnel, other users, or any third party
   
• Attempt to interfere with, disrupt, or compromise the Site’s functionality
   

These terms replace the original requirements tied to TheFranchiseAdvisor.com while retaining required legal protections.

The Site provides general information about franchise development, business expansion, and related advisory topics.

EKS does not:

• Guarantee franchise qualification or approval
   
• Make financial or legal guarantees
   
• Promise outcomes, revenue, or unit sales
   

All materials and content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind. This maintains the disclaimers found in the original document, rewritten for precision and your advisory model.

All content on this Site—including text, graphics, branding, logos, training frameworks, downloadable materials, processes, and system descriptions—is owned or licensed by EKS and protected under U.S. and international intellectual property laws.

You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, publish, or exploit any portion of the Site or related assets without prior written consent from EKS. This restates and strengthens the original IP section.

Our Site may link to third-party websites, platforms, or resources. EKS is not responsible for:

• Their content
   
• Their policies
   
• Their security practices
   

Use of any third-party site is at your own discretion. This reflects the third-party disclaimer in the original terms.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, EKS, its owners, partners, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any:

• Indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages
   
• Loss of revenue, profits, business, or data
   
• Issues arising from the use or inability to use the Site
   

We do not guarantee that the Site will be error-free, uninterrupted, virus-free, or secure. This modernizes and expands the liability limitations found in the original document.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless EKS and its team members from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses arising from:

• Your use of the Site
   
• Your violation of these Terms
   
• Your infringement of any intellectual property or third-party rights
   

This mirrors and elevates the indemnity clause from the uploaded file.

EKS may update or modify the Site at any time without notice. We may also revise these Terms periodically. All changes become effective immediately upon posting.

Continued use of the Site after changes are posted indicates acceptance of the updated Terms. This maintains the core of the original modification clause.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of state or federal courts located in Arizona.

This replaces the New Jersey jurisdiction referenced in the original document.
