Terms of use.
The short version
- Information, not advice.
- Quote us with attribution and a link. Please do.
- Our client agreements are signed documents. This page is not one.
What this site is
ruskandco.com is published by Rusk & Co. LLC, a firm based in Houston, Texas. It describes how we work and what we have learned doing it. Using the site means you accept these terms.
It is not advice, and it does not create a relationship
Nothing here is legal, tax, accounting, financial, or investment advice. We are not your attorney, your CPA, or your broker. Sending us a message or taking the Owner Dependence Score does not create a professional relationship between us — that starts only when both sides sign an agreement.
Statistics and third-party research
Figures published on this site come from named third parties, and the source is shown next to the number every time. We check them against the original publisher before we use them. We do not control that research and we cannot warrant it.
No promise of results
What we describe here is what we do, not what will happen in your business. Results depend on your company, your market, your people, and your own decisions. Nothing on this site is a guarantee of profit, valuation, or any other outcome.
Engagements are governed by their own agreement
If we work together, a written agreement sets out the scope, the term, the fees, and how compensation tied to results is calculated. Where that agreement and this page disagree, the agreement wins.
Our content
The words, research, mark, and design on this site belong to Rusk & Co. LLC. Quote us — an excerpt with our name and a link back is welcome, and no permission is needed. Republishing a page wholesale, or using our name or mark in a way that suggests we endorse something we do not, is not.
Links to other sites
We link to sources and to other organizations. We do not control those sites and we are not responsible for what they publish.
Availability
The site is provided as it is. We do not promise it will be available without interruption or free of error, and to the extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss arising from your use of it.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas. Any dispute belongs in the state or federal courts sitting in Harris County, Texas.
Changes
We may update these terms. The current version is always the one on this page, and the date below says when it last changed.
Last updated: to be set when this page is reviewed and published.
