Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of forterisrisk.com (the "Site"), operated by Forteris Risk and Compliance Group, LLC ("Forteris," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Last updated: May 22, 2026

Attorney Review Recommended These Terms were drafted as a starting template using widely-used language for U.S. professional services firms. Before publishing, an attorney should review and adjust for: (a) any user-generated content or interactive features you add, (b) any subscription or payment functionality you add, (c) your preferred dispute resolution mechanism (these terms specify Florida courts; an arbitration clause is a separate decision), (d) any client portal features you add later, and (e) the specific limitations of liability and indemnification provisions that are appropriate for your industry and risk tolerance.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT, MATERIALS, AND SERVICES PROVIDED ON OR THROUGH THE SITE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FORTERIS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL FORTERIS, ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT FORTERIS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Verify before publishing The limitation of liability language above is broad and standard for informational professional services websites. If you plan to offer services with monetary thresholds, you may want to cap liability at the fees paid by a client over a defined lookback period. An attorney should advise on what is enforceable in Florida and the jurisdictions where you serve clients, and whether you want an arbitration provision in lieu of court litigation.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Forteris and its members, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your access to or use of the Site; (b) your violation of these Terms; or (c) your violation of any rights of any third party.

12. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. You agree that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the Site shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Palm Beach County, Florida, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

13. Changes to these Terms

Forteris may modify these Terms at any time by posting an updated version on the Site. The "Last updated" date at the top of these Terms indicates when the most recent revision took effect. Your continued use of the Site after any such change constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and the invalid provision will be modified only to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

15. Entire agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any written engagement letter between you and Forteris, constitute the entire agreement between you and Forteris with respect to the Site and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, whether electronic, oral, or written, between you and Forteris with respect to the Site.
