Terms of service
Last updated
Overview
These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of the Branded with Honor website, including brandedwithhonor.com, its pages, forms, content, materials, communications, and related digital properties. These Terms also establish the general conditions under which Branded with Honor LLC provides professional services.
Throughout these Terms, “Branded with Honor,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Branded with Honor LLC. “You” and “your” refer to any website visitor, prospective client, client, business, organization, representative, or other person accessing the website or interacting with our services.
By accessing the website, submitting an inquiry, requesting services, accepting a proposal, signing an agreement, or otherwise engaging with Branded with Honor, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms. If you are acting for a company or other organization, you represent that you have the authority to act for and bind that entity.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the website or submit information through it.
Services Terms
Professional Services
Branded with Honor provides strategic, creative, operational, brand, digital, and consulting services. These services may include brand strategy, positioning, identity development, messaging, creative direction, business systems, website strategy, content strategy, research, documentation, advisory services, and related professional work.
Descriptions appearing on the website provide general information only. They do not constitute a binding offer, guaranteed deliverable, fixed project scope, or promise that a particular service will be available or suitable for every person or business.
Submitting a form, sending an email, scheduling a consultation, participating in a preliminary discussion, or receiving general information does not create a client relationship. A client relationship begins only after the applicable written agreement has been accepted and any required initial payment has been received.
Branded with Honor may accept or decline any inquiry or proposed engagement in its discretion.
Project Agreements
Each paid engagement may be governed by one or more project-specific documents, including a proposal, statement of work, master services agreement, retainer agreement, confidentiality agreement, license, change order, invoice, or written project authorization.
Those documents establish the actual scope, services, deliverables, timeline, fees, payment requirements, revision limits, responsibilities, and usage rights applicable to the engagement.
If a signed project-specific agreement conflicts with these Terms, the signed project-specific agreement will control for that engagement. These Terms will continue to apply to matters not addressed in the project agreement, including website use, intellectual-property boundaries, prohibited conduct, disclaimers, and enforcement rights.
No verbal discussion, informal message, preliminary draft, estimate, or meeting statement modifies an agreement unless the modification is confirmed in writing by an authorized representative of Branded with Honor.
Retainer Services
Retainer services, reserved capacity, recurring advisory work, and continuing support will be governed by the applicable retainer or service agreement. A retainer does not provide unlimited services, unlimited revisions, unrestricted access, or guaranteed availability outside the scope and capacity expressly identified in the applicable agreement.
Unused time, services, meetings, or capacity do not automatically roll over or qualify for a refund unless the written retainer agreement expressly provides otherwise.
Scope of Work
Included Services
The scope of each engagement is limited to the services and deliverables expressly identified in the applicable written agreement.
A project fee does not include unlimited revisions, unlimited access, ongoing implementation, source files, editable files, working files, internal documentation, future updates, maintenance, technical administration, additional platforms, or services not specifically included in the agreement.
Branded with Honor is responsible only for the services expressly accepted in writing. Any assumptions, examples, preliminary ideas, recommendations, estimates, or potential features discussed before the engagement are not included unless they appear in the final approved scope.
Additional Services and Scope Changes
Requests that materially alter the original strategy, audience, direction, functionality, quantity, platform, timeline, approved concept, or deliverables may be treated as a scope change.
Scope changes may include new deliverables, replacement concepts, new strategic directions, additional platforms, expanded functionality, changes to previously approved work, or redevelopment caused by new information supplied after work has begun.
Branded with Honor may require written approval, an additional fee, an adjusted timeline, or a separate agreement before beginning out-of-scope work. We are not required to perform additional work until the revised terms have been approved.
Client Responsibilities
Information, Materials, and Access
The client is responsible for providing complete, accurate, lawful, and timely information necessary to perform the services. This may include business information, content, brand materials, data, images, credentials, approvals, technical requirements, platform access, and other requested materials.
The client represents that it owns or has obtained all rights and permissions necessary for any content, data, trademarks, logos, images, testimonials, business claims, instructions, or other materials provided to Branded with Honor.
The client must not direct Branded with Honor to use material that infringes another party’s rights, violates confidentiality, breaches an agreement, contains unlawful content, or creates an unreasonable legal, security, or reputational risk.
Branded with Honor may reject, remove, or refuse to use materials that present a legal, ethical, operational, security, or reputational concern.
Feedback and Approvals
The client must identify an authorized decision-maker and provide clear, consolidated feedback within the review periods established for the project.
Delayed responses, incomplete information, unavailable decision-makers, conflicting instructions, repeated reversals, missed approvals, or failure to provide necessary access may delay the engagement and may result in an adjusted schedule, additional fees, or project suspension.
The client is responsible for reviewing all deliverables before approval, publication, implementation, distribution, or commercial use. Approval confirms that the client has reviewed and accepted the applicable content, direction, information, links, spelling, factual claims, presentation, and functionality.
Approvals provided through an authorized email account, electronic signature platform, project-management system, or other documented communication channel will be treated as authorized approvals.
Once a strategy, concept, direction, deliverable, or project stage has been approved, a later request to reverse or materially change that approval may be treated as additional work.
Legal and Business Responsibility
The client remains responsible for its business decisions, legal compliance, regulatory requirements, advertising claims, privacy practices, accessibility obligations, licenses, industry-specific requirements, and implementation of the final work.
Branded with Honor may provide strategic information involving intellectual property, risk, privacy, security, business operations, or compliance. Unless expressly provided by a separately engaged licensed professional, such information is general strategic guidance and is not legal, tax, accounting, financial, medical, or regulatory advice.
The client is responsible for obtaining advice from qualified professionals where required.
Timelines and Delivery
Project schedules and delivery dates are estimates unless expressly identified as guaranteed in a signed agreement.
Timelines depend on timely payment, cooperation, information, platform access, approvals, feedback, third-party availability, and fulfillment of client responsibilities.
A delay caused by the client, a third-party platform, a licensing provider, a technical dependency, an approval process, or circumstances outside our reasonable control may result in a corresponding adjustment to the schedule.
If a project becomes inactive because the client has not supplied required information, access, feedback, approval, or payment, Branded with Honor may pause the engagement, revise the delivery schedule, close the project, or require a restart fee before work resumes.
Delivery may occur through email, a shared workspace, a website, a digital platform, a file-transfer service, or another method identified in the applicable project agreement.
Revisions and Changes
Revision Rounds
The number and type of revision rounds included in an engagement will be stated in the applicable project agreement.
A revision is a reasonable adjustment to an existing deliverable that remains consistent with the approved strategy, scope, audience, direction, and concept.
Revisions do not include replacement concepts, new strategic directions, additional deliverables, new platforms, changed business objectives, expanded functionality, changes to previously approved work, or redevelopment caused by information supplied after approval.
Revision requests must be submitted through the agreed communication channel and should be consolidated into a clear set of instructions. Piecemeal, contradictory, repeated, or materially expanded requests may require additional fees or a revised timeline.
Change Authorization
Additional revisions and scope changes are not included unless approved in writing.
Branded with Honor will communicate any material fee or timeline adjustment before beginning approved additional work. Approval through email, electronic signature, a project platform, or another documented method will constitute written authorization.
Payment Terms
Project Payments
Fees, deposits, retainers, installment schedules, payment methods, taxes, approved expenses, and due dates will be stated in the applicable agreement, proposal, or invoice.
Unless otherwise stated in writing, payment obligations are not dependent on the client obtaining funding, generating revenue, receiving internal approval, launching a product, securing third-party support, or achieving a particular result.
Payments become nonrefundable as they are earned, applied to completed work, allocated to reserved capacity, committed to approved expenses, or otherwise designated as nonrefundable in the applicable agreement.
Branded with Honor may pause work, postpone meetings, withhold deliverables, restrict access, decline additional requests, or terminate an engagement when an invoice is overdue. A delay resulting from nonpayment does not require Branded with Honor to preserve the original project timeline.
Third-Party Costs
The client remains responsible for approved third-party expenses, licensing costs, fonts, stock materials, software fees, hosting charges, platform subscriptions, printing expenses, transaction fees, travel costs, and similar project expenses unless the applicable agreement states otherwise.
Third-party charges may be billed directly to the client or reimbursed to Branded with Honor as stated in the applicable agreement.
Payment Disputes
A payment dispute or chargeback does not cancel a valid contractual obligation.
Before initiating a chargeback, the client must contact Branded with Honor and provide a reasonable opportunity to review and address the disputed amount. Branded with Honor reserves the right to suspend services, revoke conditional access, preserve relevant records, and pursue amounts lawfully owed.
Cancellation and Termination
Client Cancellation
Cancellation and termination rights for paid engagements will be governed by the applicable project agreement.
Unless otherwise stated in writing, the client remains responsible for work completed, services performed, time and capacity reserved, approved expenses, third-party charges, noncancelable commitments, and amounts earned before termination.
Deposits, retainers, and other payments may remain nonrefundable to the extent they have been earned, applied to work, allocated to reserved capacity, or designated as nonrefundable in the applicable agreement.
Termination by Branded with Honor
Branded with Honor may suspend or terminate an engagement when the client fails to pay, repeatedly delays the project, provides unlawful material, misrepresents authority, behaves abusively, creates a security risk, violates confidentiality, misuses intellectual property, directs unlawful conduct, or materially breaches an agreement.
Upon termination, outstanding amounts will become due as provided in the applicable agreement.
Any ownership transfer or license dependent on full payment remains incomplete until all required amounts have been paid.
Termination does not eliminate provisions intended to survive, including payment obligations, confidentiality, intellectual-property ownership, usage restrictions, indemnification, liability limitations, dispute provisions, and enforcement rights.
Intellectual Property
Branded with Honor Materials
All rights in the Branded with Honor website and its original materials are owned by or licensed to Branded with Honor LLC.
Protected materials may include original writing, website content, graphics, brand materials, case studies, presentations, documents, templates, frameworks, methodologies, processes, strategic structures, systems, research structures, naming systems, taxonomies, prompt structures, workflows, visual arrangements, digital assets, tools, internal materials, and other original work.
Public visibility does not place these materials in the public domain. Except for the limited right to view public website content for legitimate informational purposes, no ownership interest, commercial license, reproduction right, development right, or derivative-use right is granted.
You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, publish, sell, license, adapt, commercialize, extract, reconstruct, or use protected materials to create derivative or competing work without prior written permission.
All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
Background Intellectual Property
Branded with Honor retains ownership of all materials, methods, knowledge, systems, frameworks, processes, templates, structures, tools, research, documentation, prompts, components, and know-how that existed before an engagement or were developed independently of a client’s commissioned final deliverables.
This retained property is referred to as “Background Intellectual Property.”
Background Intellectual Property does not become client property merely because it is used, referenced, demonstrated, incorporated, configured, adapted, or applied during an engagement.
Payment for professional services compensates Branded with Honor for the agreed services and deliverables. It does not purchase the underlying methodology, working process, internal system, strategic logic, research library, prompt structure, knowledge base, reusable component, proprietary tool, or infrastructure used to create the work.
Final Deliverables
The client’s ownership or license rights in final deliverables will be stated in the applicable project agreement.
Any transfer of ownership or grant of rights is conditioned on full payment and applies only to the approved final deliverables expressly identified in the agreement.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, the client does not receive ownership of Background Intellectual Property, working files, rejected concepts, unused directions, internal documents, source libraries, research archives, templates, prompt systems, underlying processes, proprietary methods, administrative tools, or materials not included in the final delivery.
When Background Intellectual Property is incorporated into a final deliverable, the client may receive a limited right to use the embedded material only as necessary to use the final deliverable for its authorized purpose. That right does not permit extraction, resale, sublicensing, repackaging, reconstruction, independent commercialization, or development of competing work based on the underlying material.
Third-Party Materials
The website and client deliverables may contain or depend on third-party software, platforms, templates, components, fonts, stock media, plugins, integrations, libraries, hosting services, or other licensed materials.
Third-party materials remain subject to the ownership rights, licenses, availability, limitations, pricing, and terms established by their respective providers.
Branded with Honor does not transfer ownership of third-party materials and cannot grant rights broader than those permitted under the applicable third-party license.
The client may be required to purchase, maintain, renew, configure, or accept separate terms for third-party products necessary to operate or use a deliverable.
Portfolio and Case-Study Use
Unless a project-specific agreement states otherwise, Branded with Honor may identify completed public-facing work and display nonconfidential final deliverables for portfolio, historical, educational, award, marketing, and case-study purposes after the work has been publicly released.
Branded with Honor will not knowingly disclose protected client information, trade secrets, credentials, nonpublic business data, or materials designated confidential under a written agreement.
Any additional restriction on portfolio or case-study use must be documented in the applicable project agreement.
Artificial Intelligence and Automated Use
Unless Branded with Honor provides prior written authorization, you may not submit, upload, transmit, expose, copy, or provide Branded with Honor materials to an artificial-intelligence system, machine-learning system, automated agent, data-extraction tool, knowledge system, or similar technology for training, fine-tuning, grounding, embedding, indexing, evaluation, benchmarking, retrieval, dataset development, synthetic-data creation, prompt-library development, model improvement, or competitive analysis.
You may not use Branded with Honor materials to create or improve an AI model, automated agent, retrieval system, knowledge base, prompt system, digital replica, derivative framework, competing service, or substantially similar output.
You may not use AI or automated systems to reproduce Branded with Honor’s original language, brand expression, methods, strategic structures, content organization, workflows, frameworks, systems, or proprietary materials.
These restrictions apply whether materials are entered manually, collected automatically, obtained through screenshots, copied from documents, extracted from the website, gathered through an integration, or provided through another person or business.
Any person or organization that deploys, directs, operates, or benefits from an automated system is responsible for that system’s access to and use of the website and protected materials.
Additional restrictions and permissions are stated in the separate Intellectual Property and AI Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
Prohibited Website Use
You may not use the website to violate any law, infringe another party’s rights, impersonate another person, misrepresent your authority, submit malicious code, interfere with website operation, bypass access controls, misuse forms, collect information about other visitors, test vulnerabilities without written authorization, or gain unauthorized access to systems or accounts.
You may not systematically scrape, crawl, harvest, download, archive, mirror, reproduce, monitor, or extract website content without prior written authorization.
You may not remove ownership notices, conceal the source of copied material, falsely attribute Branded with Honor’s work, represent protected material as your own, or use the website to create specifications, templates, prompts, datasets, workflows, services, systems, or competing materials based on our work.
You may not use access to the website, consultations, proposals, demonstrations, case studies, documents, or deliverables to reverse engineer, reconstruct, replicate, adapt, or develop substantially similar proprietary materials, products, experiences, or services.
Branded with Honor may use reasonable technical, administrative, contractual, and evidentiary measures to identify unauthorized access, extraction, reproduction, or use. Nothing in these Terms requires Branded with Honor to identify or disclose those measures.
Confidentiality
During a paid engagement, each party may receive nonpublic information belonging to the other party.
Each party agrees to use reasonable care to protect information that is clearly identified as confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential under the circumstances.
Confidential information does not include information that was already lawfully known without restriction, becomes public without breach, is independently developed without use of the other party’s confidential information, is lawfully received from another source, or must be disclosed under applicable law or legal process.
When legally permitted, a party required to disclose confidential information will provide reasonable notice so the other party may seek appropriate protection.
Submitting information through a general website form does not create a confidential, fiduciary, or privileged relationship unless Branded with Honor has separately agreed in writing to receive that information under confidentiality.
Additional confidentiality requirements may be established through a signed client agreement or nondisclosure agreement.
No Guaranteed Results
Branded with Honor does not guarantee any specific commercial, financial, operational, strategic, marketing, audience, conversion, revenue, ranking, valuation, funding, growth, recognition, legal, or competitive result.
Outcomes depend on factors outside our control, including implementation, management decisions, timing, market conditions, customer behavior, competition, available resources, third-party platforms, regulatory requirements, and the client’s own actions.
Case studies, examples, testimonials, projections, recommendations, portfolio work, and prior results are provided for context only. They do not promise that another client, business, or project will produce the same result.
The client remains responsible for evaluating recommendations and determining whether they are appropriate for its business.
Liability and Indemnification
Website and Service Availability
The website and public content are provided on an “as available” basis.
Branded with Honor does not guarantee that the website will remain uninterrupted, error-free, completely secure, compatible with every device, or continuously available.
Technical failures, maintenance, security responses, internet conditions, platform changes, service-provider interruptions, and circumstances outside our control may affect website or service availability.
We may correct errors, update content, change service descriptions, remove materials, or modify website functionality at any time.
Third-Party Services
The website and our services may link to, embed, reference, or rely on third-party websites, software, platforms, content, services, or providers.
A link, integration, or reference does not mean that Branded with Honor controls, guarantees, endorses, or assumes responsibility for the third party.
Third-party services operate under their own terms, privacy practices, security controls, pricing, policies, and availability standards. Branded with Honor is not responsible for a third party’s outage, policy change, pricing change, security incident, compatibility issue, account restriction, discontinuation, or removal of functionality.
Disclaimer of Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the website, public content, preliminary information, and unpaid materials are provided without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise.
Branded with Honor disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, noninfringement, uninterrupted availability, and accuracy, except where a warranty cannot legally be disclaimed.
Any warranty applicable to paid services must be expressly stated in a signed project agreement. No oral statement creates a warranty.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Branded with Honor LLC and its owners, employees, contractors, representatives, and affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages.
This includes lost profits, lost revenue, lost opportunities, lost data, business interruption, reputational harm, or replacement costs arising from or related to the website, services, deliverables, third-party platforms, or these Terms.
For a claim arising solely from use of the public website, Branded with Honor’s total aggregate liability will not exceed one hundred dollars.
For a claim arising from paid professional services, Branded with Honor’s total aggregate liability will not exceed the fees actually paid to Branded with Honor for the specific engagement giving rise to the claim.
These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory asserted and even when a party has been advised that damages were possible.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Branded with Honor LLC and its owners, employees, contractors, representatives, and affiliates from claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from your misuse of the website, violation of these Terms, unlawful conduct, infringement of another party’s rights, or submission of material you did not have authority to provide.
A client also agrees to indemnify Branded with Honor against third-party claims arising from client-provided materials, client instructions, claims supplied or approved by the client, unauthorized modifications, unlawful implementation, regulatory noncompliance, or use of deliverables outside the rights granted in the applicable agreement.
General Terms
Independent Contractor
Branded with Honor provides services as an independent contractor.
Nothing in the website, these Terms, or a project engagement creates an employment relationship, partnership, joint venture, franchise, fiduciary relationship, agency, or authority for either party to bind the other unless expressly stated in a written agreement.
Each party remains responsible for its own business operations, personnel, taxes, licenses, insurance, and legal obligations.
Force Majeure
Branded with Honor will not be responsible for a delay or failure caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
These circumstances may include natural disasters, severe weather, illness, family emergency, labor disruption, internet failure, power interruption, cyberattack, government action, civil unrest, public-health emergency, transportation interruption, platform outage, vendor failure, or failure of a third-party service.
When reasonably possible, Branded with Honor will provide notice and adjust the affected timeline.
Enforcement
Unauthorized access to or use of intellectual property, confidential information, protected materials, systems, or services may cause harm that cannot be adequately remedied through monetary damages alone.
Branded with Honor may seek injunctive relief, preservation of evidence, suspension of access, removal of infringing material, platform enforcement, contractual remedies, monetary damages, and any other relief available under law.
The availability of one remedy does not prevent Branded with Honor from pursuing another lawful remedy.
Electronic Communications
You consent to receive agreements, notices, invoices, approvals, disclosures, records, and other communications electronically.
Electronic signatures, checkbox acceptance, documented electronic approvals, and electronic records may have the same effect as paper records and handwritten signatures to the extent permitted by applicable law.
You are responsible for maintaining a valid email address and retaining copies of communications important to your relationship with Branded with Honor.
Dispute Resolution
Before filing a legal proceeding, the parties will make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute through direct written communication.
The party raising the dispute must provide written notice describing the issue, the supporting facts, and the requested resolution. The parties will have thirty days after receipt of that notice to attempt an informal resolution unless urgent action is reasonably necessary to protect intellectual property, confidential information, security, access rights, or evidence.
If the dispute is not resolved, the parties may agree in writing to participate in nonbinding mediation. Mediation will occur only if both parties agree to the mediator, location, procedures, and allocation of costs.
Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking immediate injunctive, protective, or emergency relief when reasonably necessary.
These Terms and any dispute arising from the website or services will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Unless a signed project agreement provides otherwise, exclusive jurisdiction and venue will lie in the state or federal courts located in Dallas County, Texas. Each party consents to the jurisdiction of those courts.
Modifications
Branded with Honor may update these Terms to reflect changes in the website, services, business practices, technology, legal requirements, or risk controls.
The revised version will be posted with an updated effective date. Changes will apply prospectively unless applicable law or a signed agreement permits otherwise.
Continued use of the website after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
Material changes affecting an active paid engagement remain subject to the applicable signed agreement.
If any provision of these Terms is found invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted or modified only as necessary to make it enforceable. The remaining provisions will continue in full force.
A delay or failure to enforce a provision does not waive the right to enforce it later. Any waiver must be made in writing by an authorized representative of Branded with Honor.
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without prior written consent from Branded with Honor. Branded with Honor may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets, change of control, or transfer of business operations.
Entire Agreement
These Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Intellectual Property and AI Use Policy, and any applicable signed project documents constitute the agreement governing the matters they address.
For paid services, a signed project-specific agreement will control where it expressly conflicts with these Terms.
Separate products, platforms, applications, communities, or services owned or operated by Branded with Honor LLC may have their own terms. Those separate terms govern use of the applicable product, platform, community, or service.
Provisions concerning payment, intellectual property, confidentiality, prohibited use, artificial-intelligence restrictions, indemnification, liability limitations, dispute resolution, governing law, and enforcement survive termination or expiration.
