PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY. By accessing or using this website, completing the scorecard assessment, or accessing the free course, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these legal disclaimers and notices.

1. NOT A LAW FIRM — NO LEGAL ADVICE

1.1 Educational Platform Only

Business Legacy Scorecard is an educational platform operated by Atarax Media LLC. We are NOT a law firm and we do NOT provide legal advice, legal services, or legal representation of any kind.

All content on this website, including the scorecard assessment, course videos, email communications, and any other materials, is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. Nothing on this platform constitutes or should be construed as legal advice, legal counsel, or the practice of law.

1.2 No Attorney-Client Relationship

Completing the scorecard assessment, accessing the free course, submitting a contact form, receiving emails, or any other interaction with Business Legacy Scorecard does NOT create an attorney-client relationship of any kind. No such relationship is established until you independently engage a licensed attorney and execute a formal engagement agreement with that attorney.

1.3 What We Provide

Business Legacy Scorecard provides:

A self-assessment tool to help business owners reflect on their transition preparedness
Free educational video content about business transition planning concepts
General informational email communications about planning topics
Optional facilitated introductions to licensed succession planning attorneys (with your consent)

We do NOT provide:

Legal advice, legal opinions, or legal strategy
Tax advice or financial planning recommendations
Guarantees or predictions about your business valuation or exit outcome
Attorney referrals for compensation (any attorney introductions are facilitated as an educational service, not a paid referral arrangement)

2. SCORECARD ASSESSMENT DISCLAIMER

2.1 For Informational Purposes Only

The Business Legacy Scorecard assessment is a general self-evaluation tool designed to help business owners reflect on areas commonly associated with exit readiness. It is not a professional appraisal, legal evaluation, financial assessment, or audit of any kind.

2.2 Results Are General, Not Personalized Advice

Your scorecard results and the accompanying content are based on your responses to general questions and reflect broad informational categories. They do NOT:

Constitute a professional assessment of your specific business situation
Account for the full complexity of your legal, financial, or operational circumstances
Replace consultation with a qualified attorney, CPA, financial advisor, or business appraiser
Predict the outcome of any future business transaction or transition

2.3 Accuracy of Inputs

The usefulness of your scorecard results depends entirely on the accuracy of your responses. We make no representations about the accuracy or completeness of results derived from inaccurate or incomplete inputs.

3. EDUCATIONAL CONTENT DISCLAIMER

3.1 General Information Only

All course videos, email content, and other educational materials provided through Business Legacy Scorecard are intended to provide general familiarity with business transition planning concepts. This content:

Is not tailored to your specific legal, financial, or business circumstances
Does not account for changes in law that may have occurred after the content was produced
May not reflect the laws or regulations applicable in your jurisdiction
Should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional advice

3.2 Consult Qualified Professionals

Business transition planning involves complex legal, tax, financial, and operational considerations that vary significantly based on individual circumstances. We strongly encourage you to consult with qualified professionals — including a licensed attorney, CPA, and financial advisor — before making any decisions about your business transition.

3.3 No Guarantee of Outcomes

Educational content referencing typical outcomes, common results, industry statistics, or general patterns is provided for illustrative purposes only. We make no representations or guarantees about the results you may achieve in your own business transition.

4. ATTORNEY INTRODUCTION DISCLAIMER

4.1 Optional and Consent-Based

Business Legacy Scorecard may offer to facilitate an introduction to a licensed succession planning attorney as an optional next step. This introduction is:

Entirely voluntary — you will only be connected if you explicitly request it
Not a referral arrangement — Atarax Media LLC does not receive legal referral fees
Not a guarantee of attorney availability, suitability, or engagement
Not an endorsement of any specific attorney's qualifications or services

4.2 Independent Attorney Relationship

Any attorney you choose to engage is an independent licensed professional. Business Legacy Scorecard and Atarax Media LLC have no control over and assume no responsibility for the legal advice, services, fees, or conduct of any attorney. Your relationship with any attorney you engage is solely between you and that attorney.

4.3 Initial Consultations

Any initial consultation facilitated through Business Legacy Scorecard is educational in nature and does not create an attorney-client relationship. No attorney-client relationship is established until you and the attorney execute a formal engagement agreement.

5. NO GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES

5.1 Results May Vary

We make no guarantees about the outcomes of your business transition planning process. Results depend on numerous factors entirely outside our control, including your specific business circumstances, market conditions, legal and tax environment, and the professionals you choose to engage.

5.2 Content Accuracy

While we strive to keep educational content accurate and current, we make no representations or warranties about the completeness, accuracy, or timeliness of any information provided. Laws, regulations, and market conditions change, and content may not reflect the most current developments.
