This summary is for orientation only. The terms below are the operative text, and if the two ever differ, the terms govern.
These Engagement Terms are between Scalewrights LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“Scalewrights”), and the person or company who buys a Review (“you”).
One of the fixed-fee Reviews below, delivered personally by Dr. Scott Kimball:
The First Batch Review, The Seed File™ Review, The Series A Review and The Scale Read — $1,750 each, written reading within five business days. The Buyer’s Read — $2,500, written reading within ten business days.
The fee is flat and paid in advance at checkout. Scalewrights never takes equity, a success fee, a commission, or a percentage of your revenue, raise, or sale price. Any sales tax that applies is added at checkout.
After you pay, you receive the intake sheet. You send it back completed, with the materials it lists, as they actually stand. The delivery clock starts the day Scalewrights confirms the intake is complete. Scalewrights relies on what you send and does not audit it; you are responsible for its accuracy.
A written reading within the period in clause 1. Then two working sessions of up to ninety minutes each, about two weeks apart, each followed by a written punch list in priority order. Sessions can be moved with twenty-four hours’ notice. A session not held within ninety days of the written reading lapses, unless Scalewrights caused the delay.
Full refund any time before the written reading is delivered. Once it is delivered, the fee is earned and is not refundable.
The Scalewrights Mutual NDA applies to everything exchanged in the engagement, and accepting these Terms accepts it too. Sessions are not recorded unless both of us agree in advance.
Scalewrights is an advisory firm, not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, placement agent, business broker, or law or accounting firm. It does not raise capital for you, contact investors or buyers on your behalf, or take any pay tied to a transaction. The work is educational and directional: not legal, securities, tax, accounting, or investment advice, and not a valuation or fairness opinion. No outcome is promised, including that you will raise, sell, or reach any price.
Dr. Kimball invests personally and through CLMB Ventures, separately from Scalewrights. Buying a Review is not a pitch to either and gives you no priority with either. If he or CLMB Ventures holds, or during the engagement takes or actively considers, an investment in your company or one he knows to be a direct competitor, he will tell you in writing. Your information is never shared with CLMB Ventures.
You own your materials. Scalewrights owns its frameworks, methods, scoring systems and templates. You may use the written reading and punch lists for your own business without time limit, and share them with your board, investors, lenders, prospective buyers and advisers. You may not resell or publish them. Scalewrights will not name you as a client or quote you without your written permission.
Scalewrights’ total liability is limited to the fee you paid. Neither side is liable for indirect or consequential losses, including lost profits, lost financing, or a lost or lower-priced sale. These limits do not apply to breach of the NDA, fraud, or wilful misconduct.
Scalewrights is an independent contractor, with no authority to act for your company. Please do not list Dr. Kimball or Scalewrights as an adviser or team member in any investor or public material without his written consent.
These Terms are governed by Wyoming law, with disputes in the state and federal courts located in Wyoming, after thirty days of trying in good faith to resolve them by discussion. These Terms and the NDA are the whole agreement for a Review. The version posted when you pay is the one that applies to your purchase. Monthly engagements are made under a separate signed agreement.
You accept these Terms by ticking “I agree to the Terms of Service” at checkout before you pay. Stripe records that acceptance with your payment, name, email address, and the date and time. Scalewrights is bound the moment your payment is received. No signature is needed.
