Plain-English terms for using our website, our demos and tools, and the services you connect to them. Last updated October 2, 2026.
These terms are between you and Boykin Enterprise Transformation Advisory Services, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company doing business as Boykin Advisory (“Boykin Advisory,” “we,” “us”). They cover this website, the demos, previews and tools we build or share with you, and any outside service you connect to them. By using any of these, you agree to these terms. If you use them for a business, you confirm you can agree for that business.
If you have an order with us. Your order and the order terms you accepted with it come first. Where they say something different from this page, they win. This page fills in anything they don’t cover.
1. Using our site and tools
The website is free to read. You may share links to it and quote short parts with credit.
Demos and previews we build or show you are for deciding whether to work with us, and for trying and shaping your own solution. Until you’ve paid for it, a demo or preview is ours (section 2).
Your pages and tools are by invitation. Keep your sign-in to yourself and the people you’ve asked us to add. Tell us at once if you think someone else has got in.
Changes. We may change, pause or retire parts of the site, a demo or a free tool. For a solution you’ve paid for, your order terms say what we promise.
2. Confidentiality and who owns what
Yours. Your own ideas, words, pictures, documents, brand and data stay yours. So do the records your tools collect, and the data you let us read from services you connect.
Ours. Our demos, designs, previews, templates, starter code, tools, checks and methods are Boykin Advisory’s, and so are the improvements we make to them. We share them with you in confidence.
Keep ours private. Please don’t copy, publish, resell or pass on our demos, designs, code or methods, or use them to build something that competes with us, without our written OK. You may show them to people helping you decide, if they keep them private too.
We keep yours private. We keep what you share with us confidential. We never sell it, share it with other clients, or use it in our marketing without your written yes.
What isn’t confidential: anything already public, anything the other side already had, anything they build on their own, or anything they get lawfully from someone else. If the law requires either of us to disclose something, we tell the other first (unless the law forbids it) and disclose only what’s required.
Delivered work becomes yours once it’s paid in full. The pages, content and code of the solution we build for you are then yours, and you get a permanent licence to the parts of our starter code and tools built into it. Your order terms give the details.
What we reuse. We may reuse general know-how we pick up along the way, never your content, your data or anything that identifies you. If you suggest improvements to our tools, we may use those suggestions freely; your own business ideas stay yours.
How long this lasts: while we’re in touch and for 3 years after. For trade secrets, as long as they stay secret. Want a mutual non-disclosure agreement first? Ask and we’ll sign one.
3. Acceptable use
When you use our site, demos or tools, please don’t:
break the law, or use them to mislead, harass or harm anyone;
try to get into parts you haven’t been given, test or probe our security, or get around a sign-in or limit;
overload them, or scrape or copy them with automated tools;
take apart or copy our code, except as the law allows or your order terms give you;
upload anything harmful, or material you don’t have the right to use;
put in health information, Social Security numbers, payment card numbers, or anything under a government security marking (talk to us first if your work needs any of these);
use our tools to decide anyone’s hiring, firing, pay, promotion, health, credit or housing without a person making that decision;
record a call or meeting without the agreement of everyone on it (Maryland requires every party’s consent).
Uses we never allow. This covers our site, our tools, and any site or feature we build or host. No one may use them to:
do anything illegal;
commit fraud, send spam, phish for passwords or payment details, or pretend to be someone else;
harass, threaten or bully anyone, spread hate, or discriminate unlawfully;
share sexual content involving minors, or intimate images of someone without their consent, including images made with AI;
pass off AI-made images, voices or video as real people saying or doing things they didn’t;
track, watch or record anyone in secret. The one exception: a parent or legal guardian may track the location of their own child under 18, only if the tracking is visible to the child and we approve the request first;
attack, overload or break into our systems or anyone else’s.
If a site or feature breaks these rules, is under attack or puts others at risk, or we get a credible report of misuse, we may pause or remove it at once. We tell the client unless the law or someone’s safety means we can’t.
Some of our tools can read from a service you already use, such as Airtable, so you don’t have to copy your records across by hand. When you connect one:
It’s your choice. Nothing connects unless you press Connect and approve it on the other service’s own screen, where it shows as “Boykin Advisory.” We never see your password for that service.
Read-only. We ask only for permission to read. For Airtable, that’s reading records and reading the layout of the bases you choose to share (the table and field names), so you can pick what comes across.
Only the fields you map. We copy only the fields you choose to map into your tool. Other fields and tables stay where they are.
We never write back. We don’t add, change or delete anything in your Airtable base or any other connected service.
Kept safe, used for one thing. The access key and the data we read are stored encrypted, and used only to run your tool. We never sell that data or use it to train AI models.
Disconnect any time, from your tool’s settings, or by removing Boykin Advisory’s access in your Airtable account. We then stop reading at once, delete the access key, and delete the data we copied through that connection. Copies in our backups are gone within 30 days after that.
Their service, their terms. Your use of Airtable or any other connected service is under that service’s own terms and privacy policy. We aren’t responsible for its outages or changes; if one affects your tool, we tell you and work around it where we can.
5. Your data and how long we keep it
If we don’t end up working together, what you shared with us on your project page (your conversation with us, your files and your demo) is removed 30 days after that conversation began, or sooner if you press “Remove everything now” on your page or ask us. Messages sent through this website’s contact form are kept as our Privacy Notice describes.
While you’re a client, we keep your material and data so we can build, run and support your solution. You can export your data from your tools at any time, or ask us for a full export.
After our work together ends, we offer you an export, then delete your records 90 days after the engagement ends, unless you ask us in writing to keep them.
Backups. Copies in our backups roll off within 30 days after data is deleted.
What we must keep. We keep invoices, tax records and the record of what you agreed to for as long as the law requires.
If something goes wrong. If someone who shouldn’t have got at your data did, we tell you within 72 hours of confirming it, and in any case within 10 days of discovering or being told of it. We say what we know and what we’re doing about it.
Our Privacy Notice says what we collect and which services help us run things.
6. AI in our tools
Who reads what you share. AI models read it only to understand and build what you asked for, and to run your solution: models we run on our own hardware, Cloudflare’s models inside our Cloudflare account, and outside AI services we use through our own accounts.
Training is switched off on every AI service we use for your work. Outside providers may keep what they’re sent for up to 30 days, and longer only if their automated systems flag it for a possible policy violation.
AI can be wrong. Our checks catch a lot, not everything. Read what our tools draft before you rely on it or send it. Our tools draft; you decide.
7. What we stand behind
Paid work. What we promise about work you’ve paid for is in your order terms.
Everything else (this website, demos, previews and free tools) is offered as it is, without warranties. We work to keep it accurate and running, but we don’t promise it will be free of errors or interruptions, or fit any particular purpose of yours. Nothing on this site is legal, tax, accounting or HR advice.
Your rights under consumer law come first. If you use our site or tools for yourself rather than a business, nothing in these terms takes away a right Maryland’s consumer protection law gives you. Where these terms and that law differ, the law wins.
8. Limits on liability
If you have an order, the limits in your order terms apply to it.
Otherwise, each of us is liable to the other only for direct losses, up to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the event that led to the claim, or $100.
No indirect losses. Neither of us is liable for lost profits, lost revenue, lost business, lost data beyond what we can restore from backups, or other indirect losses, even if told they could happen.
Where these limits don’t apply: what you owe us; misuse of our confidential material; gross negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct; injury to a person; your rights under consumer protection law; and anything else the law doesn’t allow to be limited.
9. Law and courts
Law. Maryland law governs these terms.
Talk first. Before going to court, we each try for 30 days to sort it out by talking.
Courts. Any case goes to the state courts in Montgomery County, Maryland. Either of us may use the District Court of Maryland for a small claim.
If you’re using our site or tools for yourself, you can also bring a claim in the courts for the county where you live, you keep any protection your own state’s consumer law gives you that can’t be changed by agreement, and nothing here shortens the time the law gives you to bring a claim. There’s no arbitration and no class-action waiver.
10. Changes and the rest
Changes to these terms. If we update this page, we change the date at the top. An order stays on the order terms you accepted with it.
Ending access. You can stop using our site and tools at any time. We can end access to a demo or free tool, or pause access for a breach of these terms; for a paid solution, your order terms say how.
Outside our control. Neither of us is at fault for delays caused by things outside our control, such as an outage at a provider. We tell you and pick up as soon as we can.
If a court strikes part of these terms, the rest stands.
