1What this covers
These terms cover using this website and the first conversations that come out of it. They are between you and End Game In Mind, based in Manchester, United Kingdom. Use the site and you are agreeing to them.
They do not cover the work itself. If we end up working together, that is a separate written agreement covering scope, fees, timing and everything else that matters, and where the two disagree the engagement agreement wins.
2What we do
We are five founders who have built, scaled and sold our own companies. We work with other founders at three stages, and this site describes them.
- Explore. Finding the opportunity worth backing.
- Evolve. Growing without breaking what already works.
- Exit. Leaving the way you decided to.
What that looks like in practice is agreed with each founder rather than bought off a list. Nothing on this site is an offer, and sending an enquiry does not create a contract or oblige either of us to anything.
3This site is not advice
This is the clause that actually matters, so it is not buried. Everything on this site, including every article, is general writing about how companies get built and sold. It is not advice about your company.
We are not regulated financial advisers, we are not your accountants and we are not your lawyers. Nothing here is investment advice, tax advice or legal advice, and it is not an invitation to invest in anything. Before you act on any of it, take proper advice from someone who knows your numbers and is regulated to give it.
4Using the site
Read it, quote it, send it to a founder who needs it. What we ask is short.
- Do not use it for anything unlawful.
- Do not try to break into it, overload it or interfere with anyone else using it.
- Do not scrape it wholesale or feed it to a service that republishes it as its own.
- Do not use the contact form to send anything abusive, misleading or automated.
If you send us an idea, a question or a document through this site, keep a copy. We treat what you send as confidential, but we cannot treat an unsolicited idea as secret if we are already working on the same thing.
5Who owns what is on it
The writing, the drawings, the name and the design of this site are ours. The figures on these pages are drawn rather than licensed, which is why they look like nothing else, and they are not stock to be lifted.
You may quote from an article with a credit and a link back. You may not copy the site, reuse the drawings, or use our name or marks to suggest we endorse something we do not.
What you write in an enquiry stays yours. Sending it gives us permission to read it, discuss it internally and reply to it, and nothing else.
6The site as it is
We keep the site accurate and up, but we do not promise it will be either at every moment. It is provided as it stands. We may change it, move things or take pages down without notice. We are not responsible for other websites we link to, and a link is not an endorsement.
7What we are on the hook for
Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not let us limit. That comes first, whatever the rest of this clause says.
Beyond that, we are not liable for losses that follow on from using this site, including lost profit, lost revenue, lost opportunity, lost data or business interruption. If you make a decision about your company on the strength of an article, that decision is yours.
Where we do work together, liability for that work is dealt with in the engagement agreement, not here.
8Privacy and cookies
How we handle what you send us is in the privacy policy, and what this site can store on your device is in the cookie policy. Both are written to be read, and both apply alongside these terms.
9Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The current version is always the one on this page, dated at the top, and it applies from the moment it is posted. If a change is significant we will say so rather than leave you to spot it.
10Which law applies
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales deal with any dispute about them.
If any part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest of it still stands. Anything you want to raise about them goes to ask@endgame.work, and we would always rather talk it through than argue it out.
