Terms of Use

These terms govern your use of theportlandcompany.com (the “Site”), the marketing website for The Portland Company (“TPC,” “we,” “us”). They are not a master services agreement and do not govern paid engagements, consulting, or development work — those are covered by a separate written contract signed by both parties.

Acceptance

By visiting or using this Site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. We may update these terms from time to time; continued use of the Site after an update means you accept the revised version.

Use of the site

You may use this Site to learn about TPC, view our work, and contact us about potential engagements. You agree not to use the Site to do anything illegal, harmful, or disruptive — including attempting to access non-public areas, probing for vulnerabilities, scraping content at a rate that degrades service, sending malware or unsolicited bulk messages, or impersonating any person or organization.

Intellectual property

All content on this Site — including text, graphics, logos, images, illustrations, layouts, and code — is owned by The Portland Company or licensed to us, and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may view and share the content for personal or business evaluation purposes. You may not republish, resell, or claim authorship of our content without prior written permission.

If you submit ideas, suggestions, feedback, or comments to us through this Site or any related channel, you grant TPC a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide license to use that material — including the right to incorporate it into our work, marketing, or products — without obligation to you. We will not, however, use confidential project details you share with us during evaluation conversations for anything other than evaluating the engagement.

Disclaimer

The Site is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do our best to keep the information accurate and the site online, but we make no guarantees about availability, accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. Anything you read here is general information, not professional, legal, financial, or engineering advice for your specific situation.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Portland Company and its team will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill — arising out of your use of, or inability to use, this Site. Your sole remedy for dissatisfaction with the Site is to stop using it.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to these terms or your use of the Site will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Multnomah County, Oregon, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically so you are aware of the current terms.
