The rules that govern your use of this website.
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the public Summit Tech Partners website at summittechpartners.com. They are not the terms of any consulting engagement, staffing arrangement, or other commercial relationship with Summit. Those are governed by a separate signed Statement of Work (SOW) or Master Services Agreement (MSA), which takes precedence over anything stated here for engagement-specific matters.
These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Summit Tech Partners LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("Summit," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the website, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the site.
If you are accessing the site on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and "you" includes both you individually and that entity.
The site is intended for business professionals over the age of sixteen (16). By using the site, you represent that you meet that requirement.
We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the publicly available content on this site for your personal or internal business purposes, including evaluating Summit's services, applying for a role, requesting a discovery call, downloading our published resources, and interacting with the embedded demonstration applications.
This license does not give you any right to copy, redistribute, sell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the content. It does not give you any right to use Summit's trademarks, service marks, logos, or trade dress without our prior written permission.
All content on this site, including text, graphics, photographs, logos, icons, audio and video clips, downloadable PDFs (one-pagers, white papers, case studies), interactive demonstrations, code, scripts, and the selection and arrangement of all of the above, is the property of Summit or its licensors and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
"Summit Tech Partners," the Summit logo, "Bridging the Execution Gap," "Strategic Empathetic Partner," and other Summit identifiers are trademarks of Summit, used or registered in the United States and other jurisdictions. You may not use these marks without our prior written permission.
We publish certain resources (one-pagers, articles, the Quarterly Field Report) that may be downloaded freely for personal and internal business use. You may share them in their original form, with attribution to Summit, as long as you do not modify them, charge for them, or use them in a way that suggests Summit endorses you, your company, or your activities. You may not extract or excerpt our content to train, fine-tune, or otherwise build a machine learning model without our prior written permission.
When you submit content to the site (form responses, inquiry messages, application materials, comments, feedback, anything else), you retain ownership of that content. By submitting it, you grant Summit a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and display that content for the purpose for which you submitted it (for example, to respond to your inquiry, evaluate your application, or improve our services). This license is irrevocable to the extent we have acted on it before you withdraw.
You represent that any content you submit is accurate, is yours to submit, does not infringe anyone else's rights, and does not violate any law. You agree not to submit anything that is unlawful, fraudulent, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.
We treat personal data in submissions in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
When you use the site, you agree not to:
We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations and to take any action we consider appropriate, including limiting your access or referring matters to law enforcement.
The site links to and embeds content from third parties. These include but are not limited to the JobDiva applicant tracking portal at the Careers page, and the four live demonstration applications hosted at stp-agr.vercel.app, stp-pinemark.vercel.app, stp-halcyon.vercel.app, and stp-pwh.vercel.app. The demonstration applications are operated by Summit but run as separate properties and are subject to their own usage notices.
Summit is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of third-party websites or services that we link to or embed. Your interactions with third-party services are governed by the terms and privacy policies of those services.
The demonstration applications use synthetic data and are intended to illustrate Summit's delivery patterns. They are not advice, are not based on your data, and are not a substitute for a tailored Summit engagement.
The site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available". Summit makes no warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, regarding the site, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, currentness, reliability, or freedom from interruption or error.
The content on the site is for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal, financial, tax, accounting, professional, or other advice, and no advisory relationship is created by your use of the site. Do not rely on it as the sole basis for any decision; obtain independent advice tailored to your situation.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Summit, its members, officers, employees, contractors, agents, suppliers, and licensors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or in connection with your access to or use of (or inability to access or use) the site or any content on it, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
In no event will Summit's total cumulative liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the site exceed one hundred United States dollars (US$100). This limit applies in the aggregate to all claims of any kind.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
These limitations do not affect the rights of consumers that cannot be waived under applicable consumer protection law.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Summit and its members, officers, employees, contractors, agents, suppliers, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) your violation of these Terms, (b) your misuse of the site, (c) your violation of any law or third-party right, or (d) any content you submit to the site that infringes any third party's rights.
Summit reserves the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to your indemnification, in which case you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the site at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, and these general provisions) will survive.
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
The state and federal courts located in Indian River County, Florida have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the site, and you submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction whose law provides you with mandatory consumer protections, nothing in this section affects those protections.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent revision. For material changes, we will provide additional notice, such as a banner on the site or an email to addresses we have on file. Your continued use of the site after the updated Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree, your remedy is to stop using the site.
These Terms together with our Privacy Policy and any other legal notices we publish on the site constitute the entire agreement between you and Summit regarding the site, and supersede any prior agreement on the same subject between us. They do not supersede or modify any signed engagement-specific agreement (SOW, MSA, NDA) between Summit and your organization.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect, and the invalid provision will be modified or limited to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by us.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of business assets.
Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, or fiduciary relationship between you and Summit.
These Terms are for the benefit of you and Summit only, and do not confer any rights on any third party.
We may give notice to you electronically (through the site or by email to an address you have provided) or by postal mail. Notices to Summit must be in writing and sent to Summit Tech Partners LLC, Vero Beach, Florida, attention: Legal, with a copy to legal@summittechpartners.com.
