Professional Disclaimer

01Advisory Nature of Our Services

Everything North Averstone provides is advisory in nature. We offer analysis, perspective, frameworks, and recommendations to help you understand your options and make informed decisions. We do not run your business, and we do not make decisions for you. Our role is to inform and support your judgment, not to substitute for it. The responsibility for choosing whether and how to act on our guidance always remains with you.

02No Guarantee of Results

We work hard to give you sound, practical advice, but we do not and cannot guarantee any specific outcome. Business performance depends on numerous factors beyond our influence, including your execution, your team, your resources, market conditions, competition, timing, regulation, and chance. Any figures, forecasts, projections, benchmarks, or examples we discuss are illustrative only and are not promises or assurances of future performance.

03Not Legal Advice

North Averstone is not a law firm, and we do not provide legal advice or legal services. Nothing we say or deliver should be relied on as a legal opinion. Matters such as entity formation, contracts, employment law, intellectual property protection, regulatory compliance, and disputes require a qualified attorney licensed in your jurisdiction. Where our guidance touches on legal topics, it is intended only to help you identify questions to raise with your own legal counsel.

04Not Financial or Investment Advice

We are not a registered investment advisor, broker, or financial planner, and our services are not financial or investment advice. We do not recommend specific securities, investments, or financing products, and we do not manage money on your behalf. Any discussion of budgets, pricing, cash flow, or funding options is general business guidance to support your planning. Decisions about investments and financing should be made with a qualified financial professional who understands your full circumstances.

05Not Tax or Accounting Advice

North Averstone does not provide tax, accounting, or audit services, and nothing we provide should be treated as tax or accounting advice. Tax rules are complex, change frequently, and depend on your specific situation and location. Before making decisions with tax or accounting consequences, you should consult a qualified accountant, tax advisor, or other licensed professional.

06Your Responsibility for Decisions

You are solely responsible for the decisions you make and the actions you take in your business, including any decisions influenced by our guidance. Before acting on a recommendation, we encourage you to:

• Evaluate how it fits your specific goals, resources, and risk tolerance.
• Verify any facts, figures, or assumptions that are material to your decision.
• Consult qualified legal, financial, tax, or other professionals where appropriate.
• Exercise your own judgment as the person who knows your business best.

Our recommendations are inputs to your decision-making, not directions you are obligated to follow.

07Accuracy and Reliance on Information

Our advice is based on the information available to us at the time, much of which comes from you. We rely on that information being accurate and complete, and we do not independently audit or verify it unless expressly agreed. If the information we are given is inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date, our recommendations may be affected, and we are not responsible for outcomes that result. Business conditions also change over time, so guidance that was appropriate when given may need to be revisited later.

08Website Content

Any articles, guides, examples, or general information on the North Averstone website are provided for general informational purposes only. They are not tailored to your situation and do not create a consulting relationship. General content should not be relied upon as specific advice for your business. A consulting relationship is formed only through a written Engagement Document as described in our Business Consulting Services Terms at /pages/terms-of-service.

09Third-Party References

From time to time we may mention third-party tools, services, or resources that we believe could be helpful. Such references are for convenience only and are not endorsements or guarantees. We are not responsible for third-party products or services, their performance, or their terms. Your use of any third party is governed by that provider's own agreements, and any decision to use them is your own.

10Limitation of Liability

Consistent with our Business Consulting Services Terms, North Averstone's liability arising from or relating to our services and this disclaimer is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, or for lost profits or business losses, arising from your reliance on our guidance or website content. This reflects the advisory character of our work and the fact that outcomes rest on your decisions and execution.

11Acceptance and Updates

By using our website or engaging our services, you confirm that you have read and understood this Professional Disclaimer and that you accept the limits it describes. We may update this disclaimer to reflect changes in our services or the law; the current version is shown by the "Last updated" date above. This disclaimer should be read together with our Business Consulting Services Terms at /pages/terms-of-service and our Privacy Policy at /pages/privacy-policy.
