Terms & Conditions

The terms governing use of honistee.com and engagements with Honistee LLC.

Last updated: April 26, 2026

Acceptance of these terms

By using honistee.com, booking a call, or engaging Honistee LLC ("Honistee," "we," "us") for services, you ("client," "you") agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site or engage our services.

Services we provide

Honistee provides operator-led consulting across operations, revenue, infrastructure, and AI. Specific deliverables, timelines, and fees for any engagement are governed by the Rate Card, a Statement of Work (SOW), or another written agreement signed by both parties.

Engagement structure and minimums

Standalone advisory calls — one-off conversations priced at the rate published on the Rate Card. Pre-payment is required to hold the time. Retainer clients have advisory calls included at no additional charge.
Tier 1 retainers — require a 3-month minimum. Guidance, access, and network introductions only deliver value across a runway.
Tier 2 retainers — follow the same logic.
Standalone consulting projects — scoped at $5,000 minimum.

The current Rate Card lives at honistee.com and is updated periodically. The Rate Card in effect at the time you sign an engagement is the one that applies to that engagement.

Payment

Advisory calls: pre-payment in full at booking.
Retainers: monthly in advance unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Projects: terms specified in the SOW (often 50% on signing, 50% on completion or per milestone).
Late payments may pause work and accrue reasonable late fees as specified in the engagement agreement.

Confidentiality

We treat all non-public client information as confidential. We do not share, sell, or use client information for any purpose outside of delivering the engagement. Mutual confidentiality terms are typically formalized in the engagement agreement. We may reference our work with you publicly only with your written permission.

Intellectual property

Pre-existing frameworks, methodologies, tools, software, and templates ("Honistee IP") used during an engagement remain our property. Final deliverables created specifically for you under an engagement become your property upon full payment, except where the engagement agreement specifies otherwise. We retain the right to use generalized learnings, anonymized case studies, and improvements to our IP that arise during the work.

No guarantees of results

Consulting and advisory services are inherently advisory. We bring our experience, judgment, and frameworks to your situation in good faith. We do not guarantee specific business outcomes, revenue results, regulatory outcomes, or financial returns. Decisions you make based on our guidance are your decisions.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Honistee's total liability for any claim arising out of an engagement is limited to the fees paid by you to Honistee for the specific services giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages. This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory of the claim.

Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement in writing. Notice periods, refund terms, and payment for work completed are governed by the specific engagement agreement. Retainer engagements may not be terminated below the minimum committed term except by mutual agreement.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify Honistee against claims, losses, and expenses arising from your use of our advice or deliverables in ways that violate law, infringe third-party rights, or breach agreements you have with others.

Governing law and disputes

These terms and any engagement are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois, unless the engagement agreement specifies otherwise (including any agreed arbitration provision).

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the site or continuation of an engagement after a material change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

These terms are operator-drafted v1 and are provided as a reasonable baseline. They do not constitute legal advice. Have qualified counsel review and tailor them to the specific structure of your engagements before relying on them in disputes or formal agreements.
