Welcome to markmedwards.com (the "Site"), operated by Mark M. Edwards / Elements of Sports and Business ("I," "me," or "my"). By accessing or using this Site, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
## Use of the Site
This Site provides information about my work as an author and keynote speaker, including my book, *The Elements of Golf and Business*, my speaking topics, and how to get in touch regarding a potential engagement. You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in a way that doesn't infringe the rights of, or restrict or inhibit the use of, this Site by anyone else.
You agree not to:
- Copy, reproduce, or republish substantial portions of the Site's content without permission
- Use any automated system (bots, scrapers, etc.) to access the Site in a way that sends more requests than a human could reasonably produce
- Misrepresent your identity or affiliation when submitting the contact form
- Use the Site in any way that could disable, damage, or impair it
## Intellectual Property
All content on this Site, including text, the "Elements" framework, graphics, the logo, photographs, and the book cover, is owned by me or used with permission, and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may view and share pages from this Site for personal, non-commercial purposes, but you may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from this content without my prior written permission.
*The Elements of Golf and Business* itself is sold separately through Amazon and other retailers and is subject to the terms of that purchase; this Site does not grant any rights to the book's content beyond what's publicly shared here.
## Not Professional or Clinical Advice
The personality framework, assessment, and related content described on this Site and in the book are intended for educational and entertainment purposes only. They are based on the Big Five personality model but are not a substitute for a clinical psychological assessment, professional coaching, therapy, or medical advice. I am not a licensed psychologist, and nothing on this Site should be construed as a diagnosis or professional recommendation. If you have concerns about your mental health or a mental health condition, please consult a qualified professional.
## Speaking Engagement Inquiries
Submitting an inquiry through the contact form does not guarantee a booking, a response by any particular date, or availability for your event. Any speaking engagement, including fees, format, and terms, will be governed by a separate written agreement between you and me, not by these Terms.
## Third-Party Links
This Site contains links to third-party websites, including Amazon and LinkedIn, for your convenience. I do not control and am not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third-party site. Visiting a linked site is at your own risk and subject to that site's own terms.
## No Warranties
This Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. I do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components, and I make no guarantees about the accuracy or completeness of any content on the Site.
## Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, I will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of your use of, or inability to use, this Site, even if I have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
## Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold me harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Site.
## Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, without regard to its conflict of law principles, and any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Site will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Connecticut.
## Changes to These Terms
I may update these Terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
