Terms & Conditions

Bolden Advisors LLC — Effective Date: June 19, 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern access to and use of the website at boldenadvisors.com (the "Site") and the consulting, advisory, and coaching services (the "Services") provided by Bolden Advisors LLC ("Bolden Advisors," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing the Site or engaging Bolden Advisors for Services, you ("you," "Client," or "your") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or engage our Services. Where a separate signed engagement letter, statement of work, or services agreement (an "Engagement Agreement") governs a specific engagement, that Engagement Agreement controls to the extent it conflicts with these Terms.

1. About Our Services

Bolden Advisors is a consultancy comprised of experienced operators and exited founders who provide business advisory, strategic, and coaching services to early-stage and growth-stage companies, which may include:

  • Founder coaching and leadership development
  • Early-stage business building and product strategy
  • Fundraising strategy and capital-raise advisory
  • Monetization and pricing strategy
  • Mergers and acquisitions advisory support

Bolden Advisors does not design, build, license, or sell software products, applications, or platforms. We provide professional advisory and coaching services only. The scope, duration, deliverables, and fees for any engagement will be set out in a proposal, statement of work, or Engagement Agreement agreed between Bolden Advisors and the Client.

2. Not Legal, Financial, Investment, or Tax Advice

Bolden Advisors provides general business, strategic, and coaching advisory services. We are not a law firm, accounting firm, broker-dealer, investment adviser, or placement agent, and nothing we provide constitutes legal, accounting, tax, investment, or securities advice, or a recommendation, solicitation, or offer to buy or sell any security. Bolden Advisors does not guarantee that any company will obtain financing, complete a transaction, or achieve any particular business outcome. Clients are responsible for engaging qualified, licensed professionals (attorneys, accountants, registered broker-dealers, etc.) for advice on legal, tax, accounting, and securities matters and for any related transactions.

3. Eligibility and Client Responsibilities

Our Services are intended for businesses and their authorized representatives, not individual consumers. By engaging us, you represent that you are authorized to act on behalf of the business you represent and that all information you provide to us is accurate and complete. Clients are responsible for making their own business decisions; Bolden Advisors' role is advisory, and final decisions, including decisions regarding financing, hiring, pricing, M&A transactions, or strategy, remain solely the Client's responsibility.

4. Fees and Payment

Fees for Services will be set out in the applicable proposal, statement of work, or Engagement Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

  • Invoices are due upon receipt or as specified in the Engagement Agreement
  • Late payments may accrue interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law
  • Bolden Advisors may suspend Services for accounts with overdue balances
  • Fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, which are the Client's responsibility unless stated otherwise

Any equity, advisory shares, warrants, or success-fee arrangements, where applicable, will be governed exclusively by the terms of the applicable Engagement Agreement.

5. Intellectual Property

5.1 Bolden Advisors Materials

All frameworks, methodologies, templates, presentations, training materials, and other content that Bolden Advisors creates or uses in delivering the Services ("Bolden Materials") remain the property of Bolden Advisors. Except as expressly agreed in an Engagement Agreement, Clients receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Bolden Materials solely for their own internal business purposes.

5.2 Client Materials

Clients retain all rights to their own business information, data, products, trademarks, and materials provided to Bolden Advisors ("Client Materials"). Bolden Advisors will use Client Materials solely to perform the Services and will not claim ownership of Client Materials or of the Client's underlying business, product, or intellectual property.

5.3 Site Content

All content on the Site, including text, graphics, logos, and design, is owned by or licensed to Bolden Advisors LLC and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from Site content without our prior written consent.

6. Confidentiality

Each party may receive confidential or proprietary information from the other in connection with an engagement. Each party agrees to use the other's confidential information solely to perform or receive the Services and to protect it with the same degree of care it uses for its own confidential information, but no less than reasonable care, except where disclosure is required by law or regulation. This obligation survives termination of any engagement and these Terms, and may be supplemented by a separate non-disclosure agreement where applicable.

7. No Guarantee of Results

Business consulting, coaching, and advisory services inherently involve judgment, market conditions, and factors outside Bolden Advisors' control. Bolden Advisors will perform Services using commercially reasonable efforts and the degree of skill and care ordinarily exercised by experienced advisors in similar engagements, but does not guarantee any specific business result, including, without limitation, successful fundraising, revenue growth, valuation, or completion of any transaction.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BOLDEN ADVISORS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BOLDEN ADVISORS AND ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITE, THE SERVICES, OR THESE TERMS, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF BOLDEN ADVISORS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. BOLDEN ADVISORS' TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY ENGAGEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY THE CLIENT TO BOLDEN ADVISORS FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

10. Indemnification

11. Term, Suspension, and Termination

These Terms remain in effect while you use the Site and for the duration of any engagement. Either party may terminate an Engagement Agreement in accordance with its terms, or, if no termination provision is specified, upon thirty (30) days' written notice. Bolden Advisors may suspend or terminate access to the Site or Services immediately if you breach these Terms, fail to pay fees when due, or engage in conduct that we reasonably believe is harmful to Bolden Advisors or others. Sections relating to fees owed, intellectual property, confidentiality, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law survive termination.

Subject to any dispute resolution provisions in an applicable Engagement Agreement, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York, for any dispute not otherwise resolved through good-faith negotiation.
