TERMS OF USE & GENERAL TERMS OF SERVICE
These Terms govern use of ChiefImpleMentor.com, Chiefi.com, FiveYearLife.com and other websites, publications, digital resources, communications, products and services that link to or incorporate these Terms.
EFFECTIVE AND LAST UPDATED: SEPTEMBER 19, 2026
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY
By accessing, browsing or using a Covered Site or by requesting, purchasing, receiving, downloading, registering for, subscribing to or otherwise using Covered Content, a Product or a Service, you acknowledge these Terms and agree to comply with them to the extent permitted by applicable law.
If you do not agree with these Terms, do not use the applicable Covered Site, Content, Product or Service.
1. WHO “WE” ARE
For purposes of these Terms, the “Company Group” means, collectively where appropriate, Robert Lee Goodman individually, Goodman Group, Inc., CEO RESOURCE LLC and Good-Man LLC, together with the applicable entity’s divisions, trade names, brands, authorized licensees, successors and assigns.
References to “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” are used for convenience and do not merge these persons or entities into one legal entity. Each individual, corporation and limited liability company remains legally separate.
The person or entity identified in an applicable Statement of Work, invoice, checkout page, order, publishing agreement, license, copyright notice or other transaction document is the contracting party or rights-holding party for that particular transaction unless the applicable document expressly provides otherwise.
Nothing on a Covered Site should be interpreted as making one Company Group member automatically liable for the contractual obligations, debts or liabilities of another Company Group member merely because of common ownership, management, branding, websites, personnel, technology, intellectual property, links or business relationships.
2. FLORIDA ENTITY ORGANIZATION — TENNESSEE OPERATIONS
CEO RESOURCE LLC and Good-Man LLC are limited liability companies organized under the laws of the State of Florida and maintain Florida registered-agent arrangements as required by applicable Florida law.
The organization, ownership, governance, internal affairs and member or manager rights, duties and liabilities of those Florida limited liability companies remain governed by Florida law to the extent Florida law or their governing documents require.
The internal affairs of Goodman Group, Inc. remain governed by the law applicable to its jurisdiction of incorporation and its governing documents.
The principal business operations relevant to these Covered Sites and Services are presently conducted from Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Entity organization in Florida does not, by itself, require ordinary website, customer or consulting disputes to be litigated in Florida where applicable law permits another contractual governing law and forum.
3. WHAT THESE TERMS COVER
“Covered Sites” include ChiefImpleMentor.com, Chiefi.com, FiveYearLife.com and any Company Group website, subdomain, landing page or online property that displays, links to or incorporates these Terms.
“Covered Content” includes articles, books, manuscripts, workbooks, newsletters, emails, videos, photographs, graphics, downloads, forms, worksheets, reports, research, data presentations, software, tools, templates, audio, educational resources and other material made available by or through a Covered Site.
“Products” include physical books, digital books, workbooks, downloads, licenses, educational materials and other items offered directly or through third-party retailers.
“Services” include consulting, mentoring, Virtual Executive Services, planning, business analysis, educational services, publishing-related services and other services offered by a Company Group member.
4. ADDITIONAL TERMS & TRANSACTION-SPECIFIC AGREEMENTS
Particular Products or Services may be governed by a Statement of Work, invoice, payment terms, checkout terms, license, confidentiality agreement, release, publishing agreement, retailer agreement or other written conditions (“Additional Terms”).
Those Additional Terms are incorporated into the applicable transaction.
If these general Terms conflict with valid Additional Terms, the Additional Terms control for the particular transaction or subject they address.
5. USING A WEBSITE DOES NOT MAKE YOU A CONSULTING CLIENT
Viewing a Covered Site, downloading free material, sending an email, submitting a contact form, participating in an informal discussion or joining an email list does not create a consultant-client, fiduciary, broker-client, investment-adviser, attorney-client, accountant-client, doctor-patient, therapist-patient, employment, partnership, joint-venture or other professional relationship.
A formal consulting relationship with CEO RESOURCE LLC begins only as provided by the applicable Statement of Work or other written engagement terms, including any required acceptance and funding.
6. GENERAL BUSINESS INFORMATION — NOT LICENSED PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
Covered Content and general communications are provided for informational, educational and business-consulting purposes.
Unless an applicable written agreement expressly and lawfully provides otherwise, they are not legal, tax, accounting, investment, securities, brokerage, insurance, medical, psychiatric, psychological, therapeutic, credit, employment-law, regulatory or other licensed professional advice.
You should consult qualified attorneys, accountants, tax professionals, investment professionals, medical professionals or other appropriately licensed specialists when your circumstances require such advice.
You remain responsible for determining whether, when and how to act on information or recommendations supplied through a Covered Site or Service.
7. FUNDRAISING, SECURITIES & INVESTOR INFORMATION
Historical references to fundraising, private placements, investor relations, Goodman Securities, Inc., broker-dealer activities, securities experience or prior capital raises describe historical experience unless expressly stated otherwise.
Nothing on a Covered Site constitutes an offer to sell, solicitation of an offer to buy, recommendation concerning, or investment advice relating to any security.
Unless expressly established through legally compliant Additional Terms, neither Robert Lee Goodman nor a Company Group member is acting through a Covered Site as your broker-dealer, investment adviser, placement agent, finder, securities intermediary or fiduciary.
References to angel investors, venture capitalists, family offices, prospective investors or other professional contacts do not constitute a promise of access, introduction, meeting, investment, financing, securities placement or successful fundraising.
8. PRIVATE-PLACEMENT & FUNDRAISING MATERIALS
Any business-side assistance with private-placement memoranda, offering materials, investor presentations, financial models or fundraising documents is provided solely as business consulting unless applicable Additional Terms expressly provide otherwise.
Such assistance does not replace securities counsel, tax counsel, accounting review, regulatory filings, state blue-sky analysis or other professional review.
Clients are responsible for obtaining appropriate legal, tax, accounting and regulatory review before using offering or fundraising documents.
9. NO EARNINGS, BUSINESS, CAREER OR FINANCIAL GUARANTEE
We make no promise or guarantee that you will earn money, increase revenue, increase profits, reduce expenses, attract investors, raise capital, obtain financing, build a successful company, publish a successful book, obtain employment, receive a promotion, achieve a particular salary, improve credit, reduce debt, avoid financial loss or achieve any other particular commercial, career or financial result.
Examples, estimates, projections, compensation ranges, case studies, historical results, illustrations and hypothetical scenarios are not promises of your future results.
The separate Earnings & Results Disclaimer is incorporated by reference into these Terms.
10. TESTIMONIALS, PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS & REVIEWS
Testimonials, performance evaluations, recommendations and client comments reflect the experience and opinion of the person who provided them at the time they were provided.
They do not guarantee that another client, reader, customer or participant will achieve the same or similar result.
We do not require positive sentiment as a condition of receiving a lawful incentive, advance copy, benefit or consideration. Where applicable law requires disclosure of a material relationship or incentive, we intend for that relationship to be disclosed clearly.
Nothing in these Terms prohibits a person from making an honest, lawful review or statement concerning the person’s actual experience.
11. BOOKS, WORKBOOKS, PUBLICATIONS & EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS
Books, workbooks, newsletters, articles, videos, worksheets and other publications associated with Robert Lee Goodman, Good-Man LLC, Five Year Life™ or other Company Group brands are informational and educational works.
They do not replace individualized professional advice.
Readers are responsible for evaluating their own facts, jurisdiction, employment status, financial condition, health, family circumstances and other relevant considerations before acting.
Where examples are expressly identified as hypothetical, illustrative, composite or adapted, they should not be interpreted as representations that every detail describes one actual person or event.
12. HEALTH, WELLNESS & PERSONAL-DEVELOPMENT CONTENT
Any discussion of sleep, stress, emotional wellbeing, fitness, food, diet, behavior, relationships, mental health or similar subjects is general educational information and is not medical, psychiatric, psychological, therapeutic or other healthcare advice. Do not delay or disregard professional care because of Covered Content.
13. CAREER, EMPLOYMENT, BENEFITS, CREDIT & DEBT INFORMATION
Career, résumé, job-search, unemployment, compensation, government-benefit, credit, debt and similar information can change and can differ substantially by employer, occupation, jurisdiction and individual circumstance. No Covered Content guarantees employment, eligibility, benefits, compensation, credit approval or any governmental or private-party determination.
14. STATISTICS, RESEARCH, PRICES & TIME-SENSITIVE INFORMATION
Covered Content may reference government statistics, research, market data, prices, compensation ranges, laws, regulations, web resources or third-party information that changes over time.
A figure or statement accurate when published may later become outdated. You are responsible for confirming current information before making a consequential decision.
15. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE & TECHNOLOGY-ASSISTED WORK
The Company Group may use artificial-intelligence systems, software, research tools, automation and other technology to assist with drafting, editing, analysis, research, production, administration or other work.
AI-assisted outputs can contain errors, omissions, inaccurate citations, outdated information or fabricated information.
Material business, financial, medical, legal, regulatory or other consequential decisions should be independently verified using appropriate primary sources and qualified professional advisers.
16. CEO RESOURCE LLC CONSULTING SERVICES
Paid consulting services offered by CEO RESOURCE LLC are governed by the then-current applicable Statement of Work or other written engagement agreement.
Those Additional Terms may address retainers, rates, billing increments, expenses, queue priority, timing, confidentiality, intellectual property, termination, indemnification, governing law, venue and other engagement-specific matters.
Where an accepted Statement of Work differs from a general website description, the Statement of Work controls the engagement.
17. BEST EFFORTS — NO GUARANTEE OF CONSULTING RESULTS
Business consulting and mentoring depend on facts, assumptions, markets, timing, client decisions, implementation, employees, customers, investors, vendors, regulators and many other circumstances outside our control.
Unless expressly guaranteed in signed Additional Terms, Services are provided on a best-efforts basis. No assurance is made concerning successful financing, fundraising, implementation, revenue, profitability, market acceptance, completion timing or another particular result.
18. CLIENT CONTROL & IMPLEMENTATION RESPONSIBILITY
Consulting recommendations are advisory and supportive unless an applicable agreement expressly assigns specific implementation authority.
The client retains responsibility for business decisions, execution, legal compliance, financial commitments, hiring, firing, contracts, investments, securities offerings and other acts taken in the client’s name.
The client is responsible for reviewing recommendations and obtaining specialized professional advice where appropriate before implementation.
19. CONSULTING AVAILABILITY, QUEUES & TIMING
Consulting availability is limited and may change.
Standard, Priority and Top Priority services and their queue rules are governed by the applicable Statement of Work and then-current service descriptions.
No statement on a Covered Site guarantees a particular start date, completion date, milestone or uninterrupted period of work unless an applicable written agreement expressly guarantees it.
20. PAYMENTS, RETAINERS, REFUNDS & CANCELLATIONS
Prices, funding requirements, billing terms, cancellation rights, refund rights and retainer provisions are determined by the applicable Statement of Work, invoice, checkout page, retailer terms or other Additional Terms.
A consulting retainer identified as non-refundable in an applicable agreement is governed by that agreement to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Where applicable Additional Terms provide that payment constitutes acceptance of those Additional Terms, making the payment constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.
The customer remains responsible for taxes, fees or other amounts lawfully imposed on a transaction unless expressly included in the stated price.
21. THIRD-PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSORS & RETAILERS
Payments or purchases may be processed by banks, payment processors, online retailers, marketplaces, distributors or other third parties.
Those third parties operate under their own terms, privacy policies, security practices and dispute procedures.
A chargeback or payment dispute does not independently cancel contractual obligations or create rights beyond those available under applicable law and the governing transaction terms.
22. DIGITAL PRODUCTS, DOWNLOADS & LIMITED LICENSE
Unless expressly stated otherwise, downloadable books, workbooks, reports, spreadsheets, templates, checklists, worksheets, graphics, audio, video and other digital resources are licensed to the purchaser or authorized recipient for personal or internal-business use. Purchase or delivery does not transfer copyright, trademark or other ownership rights.
23. ADVANCE READER TEAMS & PREPUBLICATION MATERIALS
Advance Reader Team (“ART”) manuscripts, advance copies and other prepublication materials are supplied for personal evaluation and reader feedback and remain protected intellectual property.
Unless expressly authorized, advance material may not be redistributed, uploaded, sold, republished, reproduced for other people or used to create derivative commercial products.
ART participation does not require a positive review and does not require a public review unless separately and lawfully agreed.
Feedback voluntarily provided may be used for editorial evaluation and improvement. A person’s name, likeness or comments will not knowingly be represented publicly as a testimonial or endorsement without appropriate permission or another lawful basis.
24. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNERSHIP
Covered Content may be owned by Robert Lee Goodman, a Company Group entity, an authorized licensor or another third party.
Certain intellectual property may be owned by Robert Lee Goodman and licensed to Good-Man LLC or another Company Group member. Other intellectual property may be owned directly by a Company Group entity.
All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
25. TRADEMARKS, SERVICE MARKS & BRAND IDENTIFIERS

27. AUTOMATED SCRAPING, DATASETS & AI MODEL TRAINING
Except for ordinary search-engine, browser, archival or retrieval indexing consistent with applicable law and technical permissions, you may not systematically scrape, harvest, copy or assemble substantial portions of Covered Content for resale, redistribution, competitive products or commercial databases without written permission.

You remain responsible for information, documents, comments, images, files, suggestions and other material you voluntarily submit.
You represent that you have sufficient rights to submit the material and that your submission does not unlawfully infringe another person’s copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, contract, trade secret or other rights.
You authorize the applicable Company Group member and its service providers to receive, store, process, reproduce internally and transmit submitted material to the extent reasonably necessary to respond to you, evaluate your request, administer a transaction or provide requested Services.
30. DO NOT SEND HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION BEFORE AN ENGAGEMENT EXISTS
Contact forms, ordinary email, social-media communications and preliminary discussions are not a substitute for an executed confidentiality or consulting agreement.
Before an applicable confidentiality obligation exists, do not send passwords, authentication credentials, Social Security numbers, financial-account credentials, highly sensitive personal information, protected health information, material nonpublic securities information, trade secrets or other information whose unauthorized disclosure could cause serious harm.
Confidentiality during a consulting engagement is governed by the applicable Statement of Work or other written agreement.
31. GENERAL SUGGESTIONS & FEEDBACK
If you voluntarily provide general ideas, suggestions or feedback concerning our websites, publications, branding, Products or Services, you authorize us to consider and use that feedback without an obligation to compensate you.
This provision does not transfer ownership of your pre-existing intellectual property and does not override a separately executed confidentiality, consulting or intellectual-property agreement.
32. PROHIBITED CONDUCT
You may not use a Covered Site to:
- violate applicable law or another person’s lawful rights;
- commit fraud, deception, identity theft or other unlawful conduct;
- transmit malware, malicious code, spyware, ransomware, destructive files or unauthorized automated systems;
- attempt unauthorized access to accounts, servers, systems, networks or data;
- circumvent security, access controls, rate limits or technical restrictions;
- impersonate another person or materially misrepresent your identity or affiliation;
- interfere with the availability, integrity or operation of a Covered Site;
- unlawfully harvest, collect, publish or misuse personal information;
- infringe intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, contractual or other legal rights; or
- use Covered Content in a manner expressly prohibited by these Terms.
33. PRIVACY & PERSONAL INFORMATION
Our handling of personal information is governed by the applicable Privacy Statement and applicable law.
These Terms do not waive privacy rights that applicable law makes non-waivable.
34. EMAIL, NEWSLETTERS & ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS
If you voluntarily subscribe to newsletters, Advance Reader Team communications, updates or marketing communications, you may unsubscribe using the method provided in the communication.
Administrative, transactional, contractual, security, purchase-related or service-related messages may still be sent when reasonably necessary to administer an existing relationship or transaction.
You consent to receiving legally permissible electronic records and communications relating to transactions you initiate electronically.
35. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES, SERVICES & INFORMATION
Covered Sites may link to or integrate with payment processors, retailers, publishers, email providers, hosting providers, software companies, AI services, government agencies, research sources, social networks and other third parties.
A link, reference or integration does not necessarily constitute endorsement.
We do not control third-party content, availability, security, privacy practices, terms or acts and are not responsible for them merely because a Covered Site contains a link, reference or integration.
36. AFFILIATE, SPONSORED & COMMERCIAL RELATIONSHIPS
Where applicable, material affiliate, sponsorship, compensation or commercial relationships will be disclosed as required by applicable law. Compensation does not authorize false or misleading statements.
37. NAMES, BRANDS & THIRD-PARTY REFERENCES
Reference to a company, employer, government agency, product, platform, book, website, technology, person or trademark does not necessarily mean that the referenced party sponsors, endorses or is affiliated with Robert Lee Goodman or a Company Group member unless such relationship is expressly stated.
38. INTERNET & INFORMATION-SECURITY RISKS
No internet transmission, website, email service, cloud platform or computer system can be guaranteed perfectly secure or continuously available.
You should use appropriate precautions and should not transmit highly sensitive credentials or regulated information using an ordinary contact form or ordinary email unless an appropriate secure method has been arranged.
39. SITE AVAILABILITY, CORRECTIONS & CHANGES
We may correct errors, revise Content, change pricing, alter availability, add or remove features, discontinue Products or Services, reorganize websites or suspend access when reasonably appropriate.
Historical material may remain available after underlying statistics, laws, links, prices, availability or circumstances have changed.
40. EVENTS BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL
To the maximum extent permitted by law, a Company Group member is not responsible for delay or failure caused by events reasonably beyond its control, including natural disasters, severe weather, fire, war, terrorism, civil disturbance, labor disputes, illness, utility failure, telecommunications failure, internet outage, hosting failure, cyberattack, governmental action, transportation interruption, supply-chain interruption, third-party service failure or other force-majeure event.
41. AGE, CAPACITY & AUTHORITY
Covered Sites and business Services are directed principally to adults.
If you enter a transaction or agreement on behalf of a corporation, LLC, partnership or other organization, you represent that you have authority to act for and bind that organization.
42. USERS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES
Covered Sites are operated from the United States. A user accessing a Covered Site from another jurisdiction is responsible for compliance with laws applicable to that user’s access and conduct. Nothing in these Terms eliminates rights or obligations that applicable law makes non-waivable.
43. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, COVERED SITES, COVERED CONTENT AND FREE RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. THE COMPANY GROUP DISCLAIMS WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY AND RESULTS. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT A COVERED SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, THAT EVERY DEFECT WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT COVERED CONTENT WILL BE APPROPRIATE FOR EVERY PERSON, BUSINESS, PURPOSE OR JURISDICTION.
44. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY GROUP AND ITS RESPECTIVE OWNERS, SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, LICENSORS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS; LOST REVENUE; LOSS OF BUSINESS; LOSS OF FINANCING; LOSS OF INVESTMENT; LOSS OF EMPLOYMENT; LOSS OF DATA; LOSS OF GOODWILL; BUSINESS INTERRUPTION; OR LOSS OF OPPORTUNITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO A COVERED SITE, COVERED CONTENT, PRODUCT OR SERVICE, EVEN IF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS WAS KNOWN OR FORESEEABLE.
FOR A CLAIM ARISING SOLELY FROM USE OF A COVERED SITE OR FREE COVERED CONTENT, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY GROUP SHALL, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).
FOR A PAID PRODUCT OR SERVICE, ANY VALID LIABILITY LIMITATION IN THE APPLICABLE ADDITIONAL TERMS CONTROLS. IF THOSE ADDITIONAL TERMS ARE SILENT, AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID TO THE PARTICULAR COMPANY GROUP MEMBER FOR THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT OR SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE SIX MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS LIABILITY TO THE EXTENT SUCH EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION IS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING LIABILITY THAT MAY NOT LAWFULLY BE DISCLAIMED FOR FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR OTHER NON-WAIVABLE CONDUCT.
45. CORPORATE SEPARATENESS & PERSONAL CAPACITY
Each Company Group member operates as a separate legal person to the extent provided by applicable law.
The appearance of Robert Lee Goodman’s name, likeness, authorship, biography, title, branding or personal history on a Covered Site does not by itself make him personally liable for a corporation’s or limited liability company’s contractual obligations.
Likewise, common management, ownership, websites, branding, offices, contractors, software, intellectual property or business resources do not by themselves create a partnership, joint venture, general agency, alter-ego relationship or joint liability among Company Group members.
A person or entity is responsible for a contractual obligation only to the extent provided by the applicable agreement and law.
46. YOU REMAIN RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DECISIONS
You are responsible for your own decisions, due diligence, professional advisers, legal compliance and implementation. An idea, recommendation, model, forecast, estimate, draft, template, checklist, question or analysis should not be treated as a substitute for your own judgment or for specialized professional advice where such advice is appropriate.
47. INDEMNIFICATION
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the applicable Company Group members and their owners, shareholders, members, managers, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, successors and assigns from third-party claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from:
- your unlawful or unauthorized use of a Covered Site or Covered Content;
- your material violation of these Terms or applicable Additional Terms;
- material you submit or cause to be submitted;
- your infringement or violation of another person’s rights; or
- your unlawful implementation or misuse of Content, Products or Services.
48. HONEST REVIEWS, GOVERNMENT REPORTS & PROTECTED COMMUNICATIONS
Nothing in these Terms is intended to prohibit or penalize an honest consumer review, truthful report to a government agency, lawful whistleblowing, testimony, response to lawful process, communication with legal counsel or another communication protected by applicable law.
49. GOVERNING LAW, ENTITY LAW & EXCLUSIVE SEVIER COUNTY VENUE
EXCEPT FOR MATTERS THAT APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES TO BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF AN ENTITY’S JURISDICTION OF ORGANIZATION, AND EXCEPT WHERE CONTROLLING ADDITIONAL TERMS EXPRESSLY PROVIDE OTHERWISE, THESE TERMS AND ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO A COVERED SITE, COVERED CONTENT, PRODUCT, COMMUNICATION OR SERVICE SHALL, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT-OF-LAW PRINCIPLES.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE ORGANIZATION, INTERNAL AFFAIRS, OWNERSHIP, GOVERNANCE, MEMBER OR MANAGER RIGHTS AND DUTIES, AND MEMBER OR MANAGER LIABILITY OF CEO RESOURCE LLC AND GOOD-MAN LLC SHALL REMAIN GOVERNED BY FLORIDA LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY FLORIDA LAW OR THEIR GOVERNING DOCUMENTS. THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS OF GOODMAN GROUP, INC. SHALL LIKEWISE REMAIN GOVERNED BY THE LAW APPLICABLE TO ITS JURISDICTION OF INCORPORATION.
SUBJECT TO CONTROLLING ADDITIONAL TERMS AND NON-WAIVABLE LAW, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THE STATE COURTS LOCATED IN SEVIER COUNTY, TENNESSEE, AND, WHERE FEDERAL SUBJECT-MATTER JURISDICTION EXISTS, THE FEDERAL COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER SEVIER COUNTY, TENNESSEE, FOR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, A COVERED SITE, COVERED CONTENT, PRODUCT OR SERVICE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY WAIVES AN OBJECTION BASED ON IMPROPER VENUE, INCONVENIENT FORUM OR LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION WITH RESPECT TO AN ACTION PROPERLY BROUGHT IN THE CONTRACTUALLY SELECTED TENNESSEE FORUM.
50. EMERGENCY & INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
Notwithstanding the ordinary forum provision above, an applicable Company Group member may seek temporary, preliminary or emergency injunctive relief in a court having jurisdiction over the person, property, system, data or intellectual property at issue where reasonably necessary to prevent or stop actual or threatened intellectual-property infringement, unauthorized system access, misuse of confidential information, fraud or similar immediate harm. Seeking such provisional relief does not waive the otherwise applicable Tennessee forum for adjudication of the underlying dispute.
51. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN AN ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, A COVERED SITE, COVERED CONTENT, A PRODUCT OR SERVICE. A JURY-TRIAL WAIVER CONTAINED IN APPLICABLE ADDITIONAL TERMS REMAINS GOVERNED BY THOSE ADDITIONAL TERMS.
52. INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, a dispute concerning these Terms is to be pursued by the parties in their individual capacities and not as a purported class, collective or representative proceeding, except where applicable law does not permit such a restriction.
53. SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF ACCESS
We may restrict or terminate access to a Covered Site or resource when reasonably necessary to protect security, enforce these Terms, prevent misuse, protect intellectual property, comply with law or discontinue a resource. Termination does not eliminate rights or obligations that by their nature survive termination.
54. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
We may revise these Terms as businesses, websites, Products, Services, technologies or laws change. The “Last Updated” date identifies the current posted version. Revised Terms apply prospectively to use after their effective date except where applicable law or controlling Additional Terms require a different procedure.
55. ORDER OF PRECEDENCE
For a particular transaction, the order of precedence is: (1) signed or otherwise validly accepted transaction-specific Additional Terms; (2) the applicable invoice or checkout terms to the extent they supplement rather than contradict the transaction agreement; (3) these Terms; and (4) general descriptive website content.
56. ENTIRE AGREEMENT FOR WEBSITE USE
These Terms, together with the applicable Privacy Statement, Earnings & Results Disclaimer and applicable Additional Terms, constitute the agreement concerning the matters they address and supersede prior inconsistent website terms concerning those same matters.
57. SEVERABILITY & REFORMATION
If a provision is held invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent or modified or severed only to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
58. NO WAIVER
Failure to enforce a provision on one occasion does not waive the right to enforce that provision or another provision later. A waiver is effective only to the extent expressly stated in writing by a person authorized to grant it.
59. ASSIGNMENT & SUCCESSORS
You may not assign contractual rights or obligations under these Terms where consent is legally required without prior written consent. The applicable Company Group member may assign rights and obligations in connection with a merger, reorganization, sale of a business, transfer of relevant assets or lawful succession, subject to applicable law and any controlling Additional Terms.
60. NO UNINTENDED THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES
Except for Company Group persons expressly protected by disclaimers, indemnities or limitations in these Terms, these Terms are not intended to create enforceable rights in an unrelated third party.
61. HEADINGS & INTERPRETATION
Headings are for convenience and do not limit the substance of a provision. “Including” means “including without limitation.” Singular terms may include the plural where context requires. These Terms will not be construed against a party merely because that party or its representative participated in drafting them.
62. SURVIVAL
Provisions concerning payment obligations, intellectual property, confidentiality where applicable, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, governing law, venue, dispute provisions and other provisions that logically should continue will survive termination, expiration or cessation of website use.
