We may remove or restrict access to disputed material while reviewing a request.
Contact Forms & Work Inquiries
Submitting a contact form, work inquiry, email, or other message does not:
create a client relationship
create a contract or legal obligation
require us to accept a project
guarantee a response
reserve availability
establish confidentiality
Please do not send confidential, proprietary, legally privileged, or highly sensitive information through the website unless we have agreed in writing to receive it.
A professional relationship begins only when the applicable parties enter into a separate written agreement.
Services, Proposals, and Pricing
Descriptions of services, capabilities, availability, processes, deliverables, timelines, or potential engagements are provided for general informational purposes.
They are not binding offers or guarantees.
The scope, timing, fees, responsibilities, ownership terms, and other details of any engagement will be established in a separate written agreement.
We may change or discontinue services, offerings, availability, or website information at any time.
Informational Content
Articles, commentary, portfolio materials, and other website content are provided for general informational purposes.
They reflect personal opinions, professional experience, or observations and should not be treated as legal, financial, medical, tax, employment, or other regulated professional advice.
You are responsible for deciding whether and how to rely on information found on the website.
Third-Party Links & Services
The website may contain links to third-party websites, tools, platforms, or services.
We do not control those third parties and are not responsible for their:
content
availability
accuracy
privacy practices
security
products or services
terms or policies
A link does not necessarily mean that we endorse or recommend the third party.
Your use of a third-party service is governed by that provider’s own terms and policies.
Website Availability & Changes
We may change, suspend, remove, or discontinue any part of the website at any time.
We do not guarantee that:
the website will always be available
features will remain unchanged
content will be current, complete, or error-free
accounts, comments, or submissions will always be preserved
technical problems will be corrected immediately
We may update, archive, correct, or remove content without notice.
No Warranties
The website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of:
accuracy
completeness
merchantability
fitness for a particular purpose
noninfringement
availability
security
uninterrupted operation
We do not guarantee any particular result from using the website, reading its content, submitting an inquiry, or interacting with another user.
Some jurisdictions may not allow certain warranty exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Throughline Marketing, LLC, Joe Tacosik, and their affiliates, contractors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or connected to:
your use of or inability to use the website
reliance on website content
errors, omissions, or outdated information
interruptions, outages, or technical failures
unauthorized access to or alteration of information
loss of data, comments, accounts, revenue, business, or opportunity
third-party websites, services, or conduct

malware, harmful links, or security incidents
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the website will not exceed the greater of $100 or the amount you paid us specifically for access to the website during the twelve months before the claim arose.
The limitations in this section apply regardless of the legal theory involved and even if we were advised that damages were possible.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
Indemnifications
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Throughline Marketing, LLC, Joe Tacosik, and their affiliates, contractors, and service providers from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from:
content you submit
your use or misuse of the website
your violation of these terms
your violation of another person’s rights
unlawful or harmful conduct connected to your account
We may assume control of the defense of a matter covered by this section. You agree to reasonably cooperate with that defense.
Privacy
Your use of the website is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how information is collected, used, and shared.
Informal Dispute Resolution
Before filing a legal claim relating to the website or these terms, you agree to contact us at privacy@joetacosik.com and provide a reasonable description of the dispute.
Both sides agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the matter informally before pursuing formal legal action.
Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent relief when reasonably necessary to protect intellectual property, confidential information, safety, or system security.
Governing Law & Venue
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
Any legal action that is not resolved informally must be brought in a state or federal court with jurisdiction in or over Delaware County, Indiana.
You consent to the jurisdiction and venue of those courts.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Site Terms from time to time.
When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of the page. Changes become effective when posted unless another date is stated.
Your continued use of the website after updated terms take effect means you accept the revised terms.
Severability
If any provision of these terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted or removed as narrowly as possible.
The remaining provisions will continue in effect.
No Waiver
Our failure to enforce a provision of these terms does not waive our right to enforce it later.
A waiver is effective only if made in writing.
Entire Agreement
These Site Terms and the Privacy Policy form the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of the website.
They do not replace or modify a separate written client, contractor, employment, confidentiality, or services agreement.
