Website Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of this website (the "Site"), which is operated by Harkins & Co., LLC ("Harkins & Co.," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

Use of the Site

You may use the Site only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to use the Site in any manner that could disable, overburden, damage, or impair it; to gain unauthorized access to any systems or networks; or to interfere with any other party's use of the Site. Except for standard search-engine or AI-search crawling permitted by the Site's robots.txt file, or as otherwise authorized by Harkins & Co., you may not use automated means to access, scrape, extract or collect data from the Site.

No Advisory Relationship; No Reliance

The Site and its contents are provided for general informational purposes only and do not constitute strategic, financial, legal, investment, tax, or other professional advice. Nothing on the Site, and no communication you send through the Site or by email, creates an advisory or client relationship between you and Harkins & Co. Such a relationship is established only through a written engagement agreement executed by an authorized representative of the firm. You should not act or refrain from acting on the basis of any content on the Site without seeking appropriate professional advice regarding your specific circumstances.

Confidentiality of Communications

Please do not send us confidential or sensitive information through the Site or by unencrypted email until a formal engagement has been established and we have confirmed how such information should be transmitted. Unsolicited information you send to us before an engagement is in place will not be treated as confidential and will not create any obligation on our part.

Intellectual Property

The Site and all content on it, including text, graphics, logos, and the "Harkins & Co." name and marks, are owned by or licensed to Harkins & Co. and are protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to access and view the Site for your own informational, non-commercial use. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any part of the Site without our prior written permission.

Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites and resources provided for your convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, products, or practices of any third-party sites, and the inclusion of a link does not imply our endorsement.

Disclaimers

The Site and its contents are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any information on the Site is accurate, complete, or current.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Harkins & Co. and its members, officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your access to or use of, or inability to use, the Site, whether based in contract, tort, or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Harkins & Co. and its members, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to your use of the Site or your violation of these Terms.

Privacy

Your use of the Site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Connecticut.

Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above, and the revised Terms will be effective when posted. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Harkins & Co. regarding your use of the Site.
