Agreement to These Terms
These Terms of Service are a binding agreement between Vectis Ventures, LLC, a Florida limited liability company doing business as Felt & Resin, and the business that engages us. By submitting an enquiry, accepting a quote, or paying an invoice, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
These Terms cover our market intelligence reports and consulting engagements. They do not cover CAST, which is a separate product governed by the CAST Terms of Service and CAST Privacy Policy at cast.feltandresin.com. Where the two conflict as to CAST, the CAST terms control.
- 03
What We Sell
Market Intelligence. Written reports scoped to a defined market, sold in three tiers, each priced as published on our website at the time you accept a quote.
Consulting. Scoped engagements quoted flat before work begins, subject to a minimum engagement fee.
Scope Control. Every engagement is defined by a written quote naming the deliverable, the geography, the turnaround, and the price. Work outside that scope is a new quote.
- 04
Quotes, Acceptance, and Payment
Quotes. A written quote is valid for thirty days and becomes binding when you accept it in writing or pay against it.
Deposit. 50% of the quoted fee is due before work begins. The balance is due before delivery.
Invoicing. Invoices are issued electronically and are payable on receipt unless the quote states otherwise.
Late Payment. Amounts unpaid fifteen days after the due date accrue interest at 1.5% per month or the highest rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus reasonable costs of collection including attorneys' fees. We may suspend work on any unpaid engagement without notice.
Taxes. Prices exclude sales, use, and similar taxes.
- 05
All Sales Are Final
Except as provided in the Money-Back Guarantee, all fees are final and non-refundable once work has begun. We do not refund for a change in your business circumstances, a decision not to act on the findings, disagreement with a conclusion, or cancellation after acceptance. If we fail to deliver a report or engagement you paid for, we will complete it or refund the fee for the undelivered work at our election, and that is your sole remedy.
- 06
Money-Back Guarantee (Market Entry Strategy)
If you buy a Market Entry Strategy report, follow the plan we deliver, and do not reach the estimated revenue goal stated in the report within twelve months, we will refund the report fee you paid. The details are below.
Scope. The guarantee applies only to Market Entry Strategy purchases. It covers a refund of the report fee you paid and nothing else. One claim is allowed per purchase.
Conditions. You must have implemented the delivered twelve-month plan as documented, including its channels, budget levels, and sequencing. Reasonable deviations count as following the plan only if we agreed to them in writing.
Measurement. We compare the revenue attributable to the target market and service lines named in the plan, over the twelve months after the plan is delivered, with the estimated revenue goal stated in the report.
Claim Window. You must submit your claim in writing within sixty days after that twelve-month period ends.
Documentation. You must provide reasonable records of how you carried out the plan, including spend, campaigns, and channel activity, and of your revenue for the period. We may review those records before deciding the claim.
Payment. We pay an approved refund within thirty days of approving the claim.
Exclusions. The guarantee does not apply if the plan was not followed, if your business changed materially during the period, if licensing or capacity limits kept you from doing the work, or if force majeure prevented results.
- 07
Turnaround and Delivery
Turnaround runs from the kickoff call, not from payment, and assumes we have the access and information we requested. Standard turnaround for reports is fifteen business days, with priority and rush options priced as published.
Deliverables are provided through a secure link that expires. You are responsible for downloading and retaining your copy before the link expires. Delays caused by your own response times extend the delivery date accordingly and do not entitle you to a refund or a fee reduction.
- 08
Your Responsibilities
You agree to provide timely access, information, and decisions; to supply only information you have the right to share; to ensure that anything you ask us to analyze or represent about your business is accurate; and to make your own decisions about whether and how to act on our findings.
- 09
Findings, Estimates, and No Guarantee
Our reports and recommendations are professional analysis and opinion based on the best information available at the time of writing. They are not statements of fact about the future. Market sizes, demand figures, opportunity values, and competitive pricing are estimates derived from public records, licensed data, and our own experience, and they are identified as estimates where they appear. We do not guarantee any revenue, margin, market share, contract award, or business outcome. You are responsible for your own business decisions.
- 10
Intellectual Property
Your Materials. You retain ownership of everything you provide. You grant us a license to use it to perform the engagement.
Deliverables. On payment in full, you own the report or work product delivered to you, for use within your own business.
Our Materials. We retain ownership of our methodologies, models, frameworks, templates, research processes, underlying datasets, and any general knowledge or know-how gained. Nothing transfers those to you.
Restrictions. You may not resell, republish, license, or distribute a deliverable to any third party, or use it to provide services to anyone other than your own business, without our written consent. Sharing with your own lender, investor, insurer, or professional adviser for your own purposes is permitted.
Attribution. We may identify that we produced a deliverable if you publish it or any part of it.
- 11
Confidentiality
Each party will keep the other's non-public business information confidential, use it only for the engagement, and protect it with at least reasonable care. Our obligations to you are described further in our Confidentiality Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms.
This obligation does not cover information that is public through no fault of the receiving party, already known without restriction, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law after notice where lawful. It survives for three years after the engagement ends, and indefinitely as to trade secrets.
- 12
Non-Exclusivity
We work with trenchless contractors across the country, including in markets adjacent to yours. Nothing in these Terms grants you exclusivity, a right of first refusal, or any restriction on whom we may serve. Our confidentiality obligations in Section 10 apply regardless.
- 13
Acceptable Use
You will not use any deliverable for an unlawful purpose, to make claims we did not make, or in a way that misrepresents our analysis. You will not present an estimate as a measurement or a finding as a guarantee.
- 14
Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL SERVICES AND DELIVERABLES ARE PROVIDED AS IS. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND COMPLETENESS. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY SOURCE DATA IS ACCURATE OR CURRENT, OR THAT ANY ESTIMATE WILL PROVE CORRECT. WE PROVIDE NO LEGAL, TAX, ACCOUNTING, INVESTMENT, OR ENGINEERING ADVICE, AND NOTHING WE DELIVER SUBSTITUTES FOR A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL IN THOSE FIELDS.
- 15
Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR ANY ENGAGEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES YOU ACTUALLY PAID US FOR THE ENGAGEMENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST BUSINESS OR OPPORTUNITY, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. THESE LIMITS APPLY IN THE AGGREGATE, SURVIVE ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, AND ARE AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN.
- 16
Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Vectis Ventures, LLC and its members, managers, employees, contractors, and licensors from any claims, damages, fines, penalties, losses, and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from information you supplied, any business decision you made, your use or publication of a deliverable, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
- 17
Dispute Resolution and General Terms
Informal Resolution First. Written notice and thirty days to resolve before any claim is filed.
Governing Law. The laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict of laws rules.
Venue. Exclusively the state or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction there.
Jury Waiver. Each party waives trial by jury to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Class Waiver. Claims may be brought only in an individual capacity and not as a class or representative proceeding.
Time Limit. Any claim must be brought within one year after it accrues or it is barred.
Attorneys' Fees. The prevailing party recovers reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
Electronic Agreement. Accepting a quote or paying an invoice electronically is a valid signature, and notices may be delivered electronically.
Force Majeure. Neither party is liable for delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control, except for payment obligations.
Independent Contractor. We are an independent contractor, not your employee, agent, or partner.
Assignment. You may not assign without our consent. We may assign to an affiliate or successor.
Entire Agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Confidentiality Policy, and your accepted quote are the entire agreement. Any purchase order or vendor form you issue is rejected and of no effect.
Changes. We may update these Terms by posting a new version with a new effective date. Changes do not apply to an engagement already quoted and accepted.
Severability and Waiver. An unenforceable provision is modified or severed and the rest stays in effect. A failure to enforce is not a waiver.
