Terms of Use

Effective July 13, 2025
Clear terms on how we work together. Built for the way real pros operate.

1. What These Terms Cover and When They Apply

By using our website, you agree to these terms.

This Terms of Use (“Terms”) is a legally binding agreement between you and TradeSworn, LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By visiting our site, using any of our services, downloading content, or submitting forms—whether as a guest or otherwise—you confirm that you understand and accept these Terms in full.

These Terms cover all use of: (1) Our website: tradesworn.com, (2) Any branded materials, digital content, or resources we offer, (3) Any interactions you have with our forms, downloads, newsletter, or team.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use this site.

These Terms are effective as of July 13, 2025. We may update them from time to time, and we’ll note any changes clearly on this page (see Section 13 below).

You are responsible for reviewing these Terms regularly. Your continued use of the site means you accept any updates.

‍

2. Your Right to Use Our Site and Content

We give you permission to use our content—for personal and business reference only.

TradeSworn grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to access and use the materials on this site solely for your internal business use or personal informational purposes.

You may not: (1) Copy, reproduce, or republish content for resale or distribution without our written permission, (2) Modify or create derivative works from our graphics, text, downloads, or page layouts, (3) Frame, scrape, or mirror any part of our site on another domain, (4) Use our name, brand, or visual identity in a misleading or unauthorized way.

You may: (1) Download toolkits or content we explicitly offer for that purpose, (2) Share our public blog or toolkit links with others, provided attribution is clear, (3) Reference our materials internally for decision-making or discussion.

All rights not expressly granted are reserved by TradeSworn. We take unauthorized use seriously and will enforce our rights when necessary.

‍

3. Who Owns the Content on This Site

Everything on this site is ours—unless we say otherwise.

All trademarks, logos, service marks, designs, graphics, text, toolkits, layouts, and other content on this website are owned by TradeSworn or used with permission from partners. They’re protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You do not gain any ownership rights or license to use our IP by visiting this site—except for the limited usage rights listed in Section 2.

That includes: (1) The TradeSworn name and brand, (2) All HVAC toolkits, scorecards, visual layouts, page designs, (3) Original copy, illustrations, and photography, (4) Any downloadable resources made available through the site.

We take pride in our work and defend our rights. If you misuse or copy our content without permission, we will act.

‍

4. When You Share Feedback or Content

If you send us ideas, we may use them.

We appreciate feedback—but please know this: any suggestions, ideas, comments, or materials you submit to us (through our website, email, forms, or any other channel) are considered non-confidential and non-proprietary.

By submitting content, you agree that: (1) We have the right to use, copy, modify, or publish it—without owing you anything, (2) You’re not sending anything illegal, defamatory, or that violates someone else’s rights, (3) You won’t submit confidential business info, trade secrets, or private client data.

If you want a formal NDA or protected idea submission, reach out first. Otherwise, by sending feedback or ideas, you grant TradeSworn an unrestricted license to use that input however we see fit—including improving our site, services, or content.

‍

5. Where Our Legal Limits Begin and End

We provide this site as-is—with no guarantees.

We work hard to keep our content helpful, accurate, and up to date—but we can’t promise it will always be perfect, or that the site will be free from interruptions, errors, or bugs.

You agree that: (1) Use of this site is entirely at your own risk, (2) We do not guarantee that any content is accurate, complete, or fit for your specific purpose, (3) We are not providing legal, financial, or business advice—our materials are for general informational use only.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, TradeSworn will not be liable for: (1) Any direct or indirect damages from using (or not being able to use) this site, (2) Lost profits, lost data, or business interruption, (3) Viruses, bugs, or technical issues beyond our control.

If you're unhappy with the site or these terms, your only remedy is to stop using it.

Some states do not allow certain disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

‍

6. What’s Okay (and Not Okay) on Our Site

Use the site like a pro—respectfully and legally.

By using this site, you agree not to do anything that could harm it, break the law, or interfere with others’ ability to use it.

That means you will not: (1) Upload or transmit any malware, viruses, or malicious code, (2) Try to hack, bypass, or tamper with site security or functionality, (3) Use bots, scrapers, or automated tools to copy or collect data, (4) Post anything unlawful, offensive, or misleading, (5) Impersonate another person or business, (6) Attempt to access areas of the site you’re not authorized to reach.

You also agree not to misuse our name, brand, or visual assets—or claim a partnership or endorsement unless we’ve given you written permission.

If you violate these terms, we may block access or take further action, including legal steps if necessary.

‍

7. Working with Third-Party Tools or Links

Sometimes we link to other sites. What they do is up to them.

Our website may include links to third-party websites, tools, or services—for convenience, reference, or integration (like calendar bookings or email signup).

These sites and tools: (1) Are not owned or controlled by TradeSworn, (2) Have their own terms, privacy policies, and security practices, (3) May collect data or behave differently than our site.

We’re not responsible for what happens once you leave tradesworn.com. You use third-party sites at your own discretion and risk.

If you see anything questionable on a linked site, let us know—but ultimately, you’re responsible for your own use of outside platforms.

‍

8. What You’re On the Hook For If Things Go Wrong

If you break the rules, you agree to cover us.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TradeSworn, LLC, its owners, partners, and affiliates from any claims, losses, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) that result from: (1) Your misuse of this website, (2) Your violation of these Terms, (3) Any materials or content you submit that violate another person’s rights.

We reserve the right to take over the exclusive defense of any matter subject to indemnification at our own expense—and you agree to cooperate if we do.

This clause protects us from legal trouble caused by how you use our site. If you misuse the site or break the terms, you’re responsible for any fallout.

‍

9. How We’ll Handle Legal Disputes

If something goes wrong, here’s where and how it gets resolved.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. By using this site, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia.

You also agree that: (1) Any claim or dispute must be brought individually (not as part of a class or group), (2) Any legal action must begin within one year of the event that caused it, (3) We both waive the right to a jury trial, if applicable under law.

We hope to never get to that point—but if we do, this is the framework.

‍

10. How to Send Copyright or Takedown Requests

If you believe we’ve used your work without permission, let us know the right way.

We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe something on our site infringes your copyright or other protected work, you can submit a takedown request in writing.

Your request must include: (1) A description of the copyrighted work you believe was used without permission, (2) A clear description of where the allegedly infringing material is on our site, (3) Your full name, mailing address, email, and phone number, (4) A good faith statement that the use isn’t authorized by you, your agent, or the law, (5) A statement—under penalty of perjury—that the info in your notice is accurate and that you’re authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner, (6) Your physical or electronic signature.

Send your takedown request to:

Legal Department
TradeSworn LLC
PO Box #310445
Atlanta, GA 30331

We review all claims promptly and take appropriate action in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

‍

11. When and How We Might Update These Terms

We may update these Terms. Here’s how you’ll know.

We may revise these Terms of Use at any time to reflect changes in the law, our services, or how we operate this website. If we do, we’ll update the “Effective Date” at the top of the page and post the revised version here.

Your continued use of the site after any update means you agree to the new terms. If we make significant changes, we may also notify you by email (if we have your contact info) or post a clear banner notice on the site.

If you don’t agree with the updated terms, your only option is to stop using the site.

We recommend reviewing this page regularly.
