When you use our website at www.innov8gd.com (the 'Site') or any of the materials, content, or services connected to the Site (collectively 'Content' and 'Service'), you're agreeing to follow these Terms of Use. We might update these terms from time to time. By using the Service, you confirm that you're at least 18 years old and legally allowed to accept this agreement.
2. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES DISCLAIMER
innov8 graphic design provides educational content and marketing guidance only. Our Inclusive Optimization training, webinars, and related materials constitute informational resources, not professional legal, technical, or accessibility compliance services. We do not provide legal advice, accessibility certification, or guarantees of compliance with WCAG, ADA, Section 508, Equality Act 2010, or similar accessibility regulations in any jurisdiction.
Our training specifically addresses marketing and optimization strategies that incorporate accessibility best practices, but implementation of these strategies remains your responsibility. The training does not constitute legal compliance advice for any specific jurisdiction's accessibility laws, including but not limited to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508, the Equality Act 2010, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), or similar regulations. For specific legal or compliance requirements, please consult qualified legal professionals or certified accessibility specialists in your jurisdiction.
3. RESULTS VARIATION
While we share case studies and methodologies based on our experience, results from implementing our training will vary. Your specific outcomes depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to, your industry, market conditions, implementation quality, existing business circumstances, and changes in search algorithms or accessibility standards. Past performance of our clients or our own websites does not guarantee similar outcomes for your business.
For example, while we may reference that a client like ASL Limited saw a 23% profit increase or that Rob Hull began receiving bookings through his website rather than through Checkatrade after implementing our methods, these results are specific to their circumstances and implementation efforts. Your results may differ substantially based on your particular situation, industry, competition, and execution of the strategies taught.
Any examples of results are for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered as promises, guarantees, or expectations of specific outcomes.
