Our terms are clear.
We take pride in being transparent and upfront about our services, fees, and policies. We believe in building trust with our clients, and our terms reflect that commitment. When we engage with a client, the full terms relating to any paid service are provided as part of our quotation – the page below covers the website itself, and nothing more.
Last updated: 16 July 2026 · The Service is operated by Stoneforge LLC (“us”, “we”, “our”, or “Stoneforge”).
Please read these Terms of Use (“Terms”) carefully before using the stoneforgegroup.com website (the “Service”). Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms, and they apply to every visitor and user. By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by them. If you disagree with any part of them, please do not use the Service.
Everything published here – the written answers, the videos, the scorecards and the 30-second test – is free, ungated, and offered in the hope that it is useful whether or not we ever speak. It is general information drawn from our experience, not advice for your business.
Nothing on this site is professional, financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, and reading it does not make you a client of ours or create any professional relationship between us. Every business is different, which is rather the point we keep making – the cause is rarely the one you'd name, and no website can diagnose yours. The scorecards and the 30-second test are prompts for your own thinking. They are not an assessment, a valuation, or a recommendation, and you should not treat a result from them as a reason to do or not do anything without proper advice.
Decisions you take about your business remain yours.
The Service and its original content, features and functionality are and will remain the exclusive property of Stoneforge and its licensors. That includes the writing, the videos and their transcripts, the diagrams, the scorecards and the 30-second test, and the Stoneforge name and marks.
You are welcome to read it, watch it, and link to it. You may not republish it as your own, or reproduce it at length elsewhere, without our permission – ask us, and the answer will often be yes.
Separately, and to be explicit about it: we do not permit the content of this site to be used to train artificial-intelligence models. This is stated in machine-readable form in our robots.txt using the Content Signals standard, which allows search and AI assistants to read and cite this site while withholding permission for AI training. Ignoring that signal is a breach of these Terms.
The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Stoneforge. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party website or service. You acknowledge and agree that Stoneforge shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any such content, goods or services available on or through any such websites or services.
We strongly advise you to read the terms and the privacy policy of any third-party website you visit.
Your use of the Service is at your sole risk. The Service is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or course of performance.
We may terminate or suspend access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including if you breach these Terms. All provisions which by their nature should survive termination shall survive it – including ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.
These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. If any provision is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between us regarding the Service, and supersede any prior agreements between us regarding it.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material we will try to give at least 30 days' notice before the new terms take effect; what counts as material is determined at our discretion. By continuing to use the Service after revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree to the new terms, please stop using the Service.
If you have any questions about these Terms, write to us or call (941) 231-1971.
