These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Bishop + Fields [legal entity, e.g. Bishop + Fields LLC] ("Bishop + Fields," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of our website, our mobile application, and related services (together, the "Services").
Please read these Terms carefully. By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by them and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
1.Acceptance of these Terms
By downloading, accessing, or using the Services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms. If you use the Services on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and "you" refers to that entity.
2.Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract to use the Services. The Services are intended for business users and are not directed to children.
3.The Services
The Services provide information about Bishop + Fields and let you learn about our work, read our content, and apply or inquire about working with us. We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time. Any paid consulting engagement is governed by a separate written agreement between you and us; these Terms do not create such an engagement.
4.No professional advice; no client relationship
Content provided through the Services — including articles, field notes, client stories, and general guidance on OSHA, tax, entity structure, and operations — is for general informational purposes only and is not legal, tax, accounting, financial, or other professional advice. It may not reflect the most current developments and may not apply to your specific situation.
Using the Services, reading our content, or submitting an application or inquiry does not create an advisor-client, attorney-client, or other professional relationship. Do not act or refrain from acting based on the Services without seeking professional advice tailored to your circumstances.
5.Accounts & account deletion
Some features may require an account. You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information, for keeping your credentials confidential, and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.
You may delete your account at any time through [Settings → Account → Delete Account] in the app, or by emailing privacy@bishopfields.com. Deletion is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.
6.License & acceptable use
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your own internal or personal business purposes. You agree not to:

- Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services;

The Services, including their text, graphics, logos, design, and software, are owned by Bishop + Fields or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited license above, no rights are granted to you. "Bishop + Fields" and our logos are our trademarks and may not be used without our prior written permission.
8.Your submissions
When you submit information through an application, contact form, or message, you represent that it is accurate and that you have the right to provide it. You grant us a license to use that information to operate the Services and respond to you, as described in our Privacy Policy. Do not submit confidential information you do not wish to share before a formal engagement is in place.
9.Third-party services & links
The Services may link to or rely on third-party websites and services that we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, products, or practices, and your use of them is governed by their own terms and policies.
10.Disclaimers
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY CONTENT IS ACCURATE OR COMPLETE. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some of the above may not apply to you.
11.Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BISHOP + FIELDS AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED [USD $100 / the amount you paid us for the Services in the 12 months before the claim]. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, so they may not fully apply to you.
12.Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Bishop + Fields and its owners, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Services or your breach of these Terms.
13.Governing law & dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [State], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that any dispute arising from these Terms or the Services will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in [County, State], and you consent to their jurisdiction, except where applicable law provides otherwise.
14.Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the Services. You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 7, 10, 11, 12, and 13) will survive.
15.Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
