Plain Language Summary: By using our website or engaging our services, you agree to these terms. We provide business consulting guidance — not legal, accounting, or financial advice. Our CORE™ framework and all materials are our intellectual property. Disputes are governed by Virginia law.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the website at creeconsulting.com (the "Site"), booking a consultation, downloading any resource, or engaging CREE Consulting LLC ("CREE Consulting," "we," "us") for services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms").
If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our Site or services.
2. Nature of Services
CREE Consulting provides small business consulting services including business readiness evaluation, operational guidance, financial discipline coaching, and federal contracting readiness support.
Important Disclaimer: Our services constitute business management and operational consulting only. Nothing provided by CREE Consulting — including written materials, assessments, coaching sessions, or any other deliverable — constitutes legal advice, accounting services, tax advice, or investment/financial advice regulated by law. You should consult a licensed attorney, CPA, or registered financial advisor for matters requiring those credentials.
CREE Consulting does not guarantee specific business outcomes, revenue results, contract awards, or certification approvals as a result of our services. Results depend on many factors within and outside our control, including client implementation and external market conditions.
