Terms of Use

Consult2k20.com is operated by Local Computerized Services, LLC ("Company," "we," or "us"). The Site provides corporate consulting and LEAN process-improvement services, and hosts the SPOT (Selected Professional Opportunity Teams) Initiative — a structured entrepreneurial training and mentoring initiative in which participants build real, independently-owned businesses.

You must be at least 18 years of age to register an account, submit a SPOT Screening Application, schedule a SPOT introductory call, sign the SPOT Participant Agreement, or enter into any other agreement through the Site. By using the Site, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement.

You must create a free account to access the member/team dashboard, training content, or the community forum.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep your account information up to date.

You may not share your account with others or create accounts under false pretenses.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

Participation in the SPOT Initiative proceeds through several stages: a Screening Application, an introductory scheduled call, a Full Application, and — for accepted participants — an electronically signed Participant Agreement. Each stage is described in detail on the corresponding page of the Site.

SPOT is a selective, performance-based initiative. Submitting a form at any stage does not guarantee advancement to the next stage.

Certain stages require an access code provided by Local Computerized Services after review of an earlier stage. Access codes are personal to you, tied to the email address on your Screening Application, and must not be shared with others.

Once executed, the SPOT Participant Agreement (a separate document, signed electronically at /agreement) governs the business and royalty terms of your participation, and the SPOT Code of Conduct (incorporated by reference into that Agreement) governs standards of professional conduct. These Terms of Use govern your use of the Site generally; where a Participant Agreement has been executed, its terms control with respect to SPOT participation specifically.

Enrolled SPOT participants may post in the Pool of Players community forum, either in the cross-team community space or within their own team's private space.

You agree not to post content that is false, defamatory, harassing, abusive, threatening, illegal, or that violates the SPOT Code of Conduct.

Posts are published immediately. Any signed-in member may flag a post for administrator review; flagging queues content for review but does not automatically remove it, so that isolated or bad-faith flags don't suppress legitimate discussion by default. We reserve the right to remove content that violates these Terms or the Code of Conduct, in our sole discretion.

Consulting and LEAN engagements requested through the Site (including via the Request a Consultation form) are scoped and billed according to our published rates or as otherwise agreed in writing. Submitting a request through the Site does not itself create a binding engagement — a separate scope of work, invoice, or agreement governs the actual engagement once discussed.

Payments — including SPOT royalty payments and Corporate Consulting fees — are processed through Stripe. We do not store full card numbers on our servers.

Amounts due under a signed SPOT Participant Agreement, or under a scoped consulting engagement, are governed by the terms of that agreement or engagement in addition to these Terms.

The Site's design, software, logos, course materials, and the SPOT framework and methodology (excluding content you submit yourself) are owned by Local Computerized Services, LLC and protected by applicable copyright and trademark laws. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from this material, or use the SPOT framework or methodology outside the scope of your own authorized participation, without prior written permission.

You retain ownership of the business(es) you form under the SPOT Initiative, as set out in the Participant Agreement.

THE SITE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not guarantee any level of income or business success from participation in the SPOT Initiative or any consulting engagement.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LOCAL COMPUTERIZED SERVICES, LLC AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO GENERAL USE OF THE SITE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR $100, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

This general limitation is separate from, and does not narrow, the specific limitation of liability set out in the SPOT Participant Agreement for matters concerning SPOT participation.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Local Computerized Services, LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of: (a) your use of the Site; (b) content you submit; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any third-party rights.

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, consistent with the governing law specified in the SPOT Participant Agreement.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, except that either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on the Site with a new effective date. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and access to the Site at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice. To terminate your account, contact us using the information below.
