Terms & Conditions

ScottTillema.com  |  Effective September 15, 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of ScottTillema.com (the "Site"), which is operated by Negotiation Excellence, LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

1  Informational Purpose

The Site provides general information about Scott Tillema, speaking programs, training, consulting, and related resources. Site content is educational and informational only. It is not legal, psychological, medical, mental-health, crisis-response, law-enforcement, security, or other professional advice, and it is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional familiar with your circumstances.

Nothing on the Site creates a client, consulting, fiduciary, employment, or other professional relationship. A speaking or training engagement exists only under a separate written agreement accepted by the Company and the client.

2  Eligibility and Acceptable Use

You may use the Site only for lawful purposes. You may not interfere with the Site; attempt unauthorized access; introduce malicious code; scrape, harvest, or collect information through automated means except as allowed by law; impersonate another person; use Site content to train an artificial-intelligence model without written permission; or use the Site in a way that infringes another person’s rights.

3  Intellectual Property

The Site and its content, including text, presentation descriptions, frameworks, graphics, photographs, videos, downloads, logos, trademarks, and design, are owned by or licensed to the Company and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Subject to these Terms, you may view the Site and download materials expressly offered for personal, internal, noncommercial use.

You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, sell, publicly display, publish, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit Site content without prior written permission. No license is granted to use the names, trademarks, logos, or branding of Scott Tillema or Negotiation Excellence, LLC. Third-party names and marks belong to their respective owners.

 4  User Communications

If you send us feedback, suggestions, or other nonconfidential material, you grant the Company a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that material for the purpose for which it was provided and to improve our services. Do not send confidential, privileged, classified, sensitive operational, or emergency information through the Site or ordinary email. We are not an emergency service. If you or another person is in immediate danger, contact 911 or the appropriate local emergency service.

5  Third Party Services and Links

The Site may contain links to or embedded content from third parties. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, products, services, or privacy practices. A link or reference does not necessarily imply endorsement. Your use of a third-party service is governed by that party’s terms and policies.

6  Testimonials and Results

Testimonials and audience feedback describe individual experiences. They are not guarantees that every person or organization will achieve the same or similar results. Outcomes depend on many factors, including participation, implementation, context, and circumstances outside our control.

7  No Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND AVAILABILITY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some exclusions may not apply to you.

8  Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY AND ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

These limitations do not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

9  Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its members, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person’s rights.

10  Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

11  Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any legal action arising from the Site or these Terms must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts serving the Illinois county where the Company maintains its principal office, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction and venue there. Nothing in these Terms prevents either party from seeking appropriate relief in small-claims court or urgent injunctive relief where legally available.

12  Changes and Site Availability

We may modify the Site or these Terms from time to time. Revised Terms become effective when posted with the updated effective date. Your continued use after that date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We may suspend or discontinue any part of the Site at any time.

13  General Terms

These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement concerning use of the Site and do not replace any separate signed services agreement. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions will remain effective. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our written consent; we may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, reorganization, sale, or transfer of assets.
