Terms &
Conditions.

What governs our relationship.

Section 01

ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

By using this site, submitting an inquiry, subscribing to emails, or engaging Ezekiel Taylor for services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site or submit a request.

These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and clients. The Site and services are operated by Ezekiel Taylor , doing business as Ezekiel Taylor Group, of Durham, North Carolina (“I,” “me,” “we,” or “us”).

Section 02

What I Do

I work with mission-driven leaders and organizations across three areas:

  • Strategy — organizational direction, systems, operations, and culture.
  • Media — livestream, production systems, social, and digital presence.
  • Creative — brand identity, brand visuals, and website design.

Speaking is available as a separate add-on service, booked under its own agreement.

Articles, frameworks, and other material published on this Site are for general information. They are not professional legal, financial, theological, or medical advice.

Nothing on this Site is a binding offer. Work begins only when both parties have agreed in writing to scope, price, and timeline.

Section 03

ELIGIBILITY

Services are intended for leaders, founders, executives, and decision-makers aged 18 or older. By submitting an inquiry or engaging services, you represent that:

  • You are at least 18 years of age.
  • You have authority to enter into a working relationship on behalf of your organization.
  • The information you provide is accurate, current, and complete.

Section 04

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

All content on ezekieltaylor.com — text, graphics, logos, photography, the Ezekiel Taylor name and marks, published frameworks and methodology, and all other proprietary materials — is my intellectual property and is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other law.

Your deliverables

Once you have paid in full, you own the final deliverables produced for you — strategy plans, brand assets, designs, and documents — for your organization’s use.

What remains mine

My frameworks, methods, processes, templates, and general knowledge remain mine. You are engaging the application of them to your situation, not the underlying method. Unused concepts, drafts, and alternate directions also remain mine.

Third-party assets

Fonts, stock imagery, plugins, and similar assets carry their own licenses. Those pass to you where transferable. Where they are not transferable, you will need your own license.

 

Section 05

How Engagements Begin

Every engagement starts the same way, regardless of which service you came for.

  • Step one — the fit call. A short introductory conversation, roughly fifteen minutes, to understand your situation and determine whether I am the right person for it. There is no charge and no obligation. If I am not the right fit, I will say so.
  • Step two — the strategy session. If we are a fit, work begins with an in-person session. I do not scope or quote larger work before that session.

     

    The reason for that order: the problem a client describes at the outset is frequently not the problem that needs solving. Quoting work before diagnosis produces the wrong work at the right price.

     

Section 06

The Strategy Session

Format

In person, at your location, for a set block of time agreed in advance.

Deliverable

One written strategy plan. You receive a working version before the session ends and a formatted version within one business day.

What it is not

It is not implementation. It is not ongoing support. It is not a guarantee of any particular result.

Recording

Sessions are audio recorded so the plan can be produced during the session rather than weeks later. I will tell you before recording begins. If you prefer not to be recorded, say so and we will proceed without it — the plan will simply take longer to deliver. Recording practices, storage, and deletion are described in the Privacy Policy.

Travel

Sessions outside the Raleigh–Durham–Chapel Hill area may include travel costs, quoted in advance.

Section 06

Fees & Payment

  • All fees are quoted in writing before work begins and are stated in U.S. dollars.
  • Strategy sessions are paid in full in advance unless agreed otherwise in writing.
  • Larger engagements follow the payment schedule in that project’s agreement.
  • Invoices are due per contractual agreement.
  • Past-due balances may pause work until the account is current.

Where a session fee is credited toward a larger engagement, that will be stated in writing. Credits apply only to the engagement named and do not carry over.

Section 08

Rescheduling & Cancellation

By you

Sessions rescheduled with at least 3 business days’ notice may be moved once at no charge. Shorter notice, or a second reschedule, may forfeit the fee. Cancellations with at least 2  business days’ notice are refunded less 50% to cover reserved time.

By me

If I cancel, you receive a full refund or a rescheduled date — your choice.

Ongoing work

Either party may end an ongoing engagement with 14  days’ written notice. You pay for work completed through the end date. Prepaid amounts for work not yet performed are refunded.

Section 09

What You're Responsible For

The quality of the work depends on the quality of what you bring to it. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate, complete information about your situation.
  • Have the actual decision-makers present for sessions.
  • Provide access to systems, accounts, or materials the work requires.
  • Respond to requests within a reasonable time.
  • Confirm you hold the rights to any materials you share with me.

Delays caused by missing information or access may shift timelines and, on fixed-scope work, may affect cost.

Section 09

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10

Showing the Work

Section 11

Confidentiality

Non-public information you share with me stays confidential and is used only to perform the work.

This does not cover information that is already public, that I already knew, that I receive independently from a third party, or that I am legally required to disclose. Where subcontractors are involved, they are bound to the same standard.

Section 12

Use of AI Tools

Section 13

Subcontractors & Referrals

Some engagements involve people I bring in — a photographer, a developer, an implementer. They receive only what they need to do their part, they are bound to the same confidentiality I am, and I will tell you who is involved before they begin. Work performed under my agreement is my responsibility.

I also refer professionals for work outside my scope. Where you engage someone directly, your agreement is with them, and I am not responsible for their work, timelines, or conduct.

Section 14

Websites & Ongoing Care

Section 15

Speaking Engagements

Speaking is booked separately under its own agreement covering date, honorarium, travel, recording rights, and cancellation. These Terms apply where that agreement is silent.

 

Section 16

User Conduct & Prohibited Use

Section 17

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Site and all content, information, and services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

I do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components; that results will meet your specific expectations; or that information is complete, accurate, or current at all times.

 

I am not a lawyer, accountant, financial advisor, or licensed clinician, and nothing I provide is legal, financial, tax, or clinical advice.

Section 18

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by North Carolina law, Ezekiel Taylor and any affiliates, employees, or contractors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:

  • Your use of or inability to use the Site.
  • Any errors or omissions in content on the Site.
  • Any services provided or not provided.
  • Any unauthorized access to or alteration of your data.
  • Your implementation decisions following delivery of a plan.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitations of liability. In those jurisdictions, liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

Section 19

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Ezekiel Taylor and any affiliates, officers, agents, or contractors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in any way connected with:

  • Your access to or use of the Site.
  • Your violation of these Terms.
  • Your violation of any rights of any third party.
  • Any false or misleading information you provide.
  • Materials you supplied that you did not hold the rights to supply.

Section 20

Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Durham County, North Carolina.

 

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking emergency injunctive relief where appropriate.

 

Section 20

Modifications to Terms

These Terms may be revised at any time. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site or services after any change constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

The posted version applies to new engagements. Active engagements remain under the Terms in effect when they began. Where a signed project agreement conflicts with these Terms, the signed agreement governs.

If a provision is found unenforceable, the remainder stands. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events outside reasonable control. I work as an independent contractor, not as an employee, partner, or agent of your organization.
