No Professional Advice. Content on the Site is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal, financial, accounting, or other professional advice. Do not rely on Site content as a substitute for professional consultation.

No Guarantees on Results. Marketing outcomes depend on many factors outside our control. Nothing on the Site constitutes a guarantee of specific results.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Ellislaine, its owners, employees, contractors, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of — or inability to use — the Site or its content. This includes damages for loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, even if Ellislaine has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to your use of the Site will not exceed the amount you paid to Ellislaine in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or $100, whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities, so the above limitations may not apply to you in full.
