Terms of Service

Last updated: April 21, 2026

These terms govern your use of the Shield Partners website at shieldpartners.llc. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.

Who we are

Shield Partners is a consulting firm with a business address at 4539 N 22nd St Ste N, Phoenix, AZ 85016. The website provides information about our services, allows you to request conversations and briefings, and publishes periodic commentary through the Shield Briefing newsletter.

What the website is and isn’t

The website is marketing and informational. Articles, commentary, calculators, and general content are provided for educational purposes. Nothing on this website constitutes professional, financial, legal, tax, engineering, or energy advice. Every business situation is different. Actual results vary. Recommendations and analysis specific to your situation happen inside a paid engagement.

The illustrative calculator figures on this site are based on independent industry research and typical ranges. They are not projections about your specific business. A Shield Partners briefing produces defensible numbers tied to your actual financials.

Using the site

You may view, read, and share the site’s content for your own informational use. You may not:

• Copy, republish, or distribute substantial portions of our content without written permission
• Use the site or its content to train machine learning models without written permission
• Attempt to interfere with, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to the site, its servers, or its underlying infrastructure
• Use automated tools to scrape, harvest, or systematically collect content or contact information
• Impersonate Shield Partners or misrepresent your affiliation with us

Booking forms and communication

When you fill out a booking form, you’re requesting a conversation — not entering into an engagement. We review inquiries and respond within one business day. If we’re a good fit, we’ll propose next steps. If we’re not, we’ll tell you.

Information you submit through booking forms is handled under our Privacy Policy.

Newsletter

The Shield Briefing is a periodic email with commentary on solar, AI, and robotics from an operator’s perspective. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.

Text messaging

Consent to receive text messages

By providing your phone number on any booking form or communication with Shield Partners, you consent to receive text messages (SMS/MMS) from Shield Partners related to your inquiry, including:

• Appointment confirmations and reminders
• Follow-up communications about conversations you’ve requested
• Updates about engagements or services you’ve engaged us for
• Occasional operational messages (rescheduling, document requests, etc.)

Text messages are sent only to individuals who have voluntarily provided a phone number and requested contact. Message frequency varies based on your interaction with us — typically low volume. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchase or service.

Message and data rates

Standard message and data rates from your mobile carrier may apply. Shield Partners does not charge for the messages themselves. Contact your carrier for specific rate information.

How to opt out

You can stop receiving text messages from Shield Partners at any time:

• Reply STOP to any text message — we will stop texting you and send one final confirmation message
• Reply HELP to any text message for assistance
• Email privacy@shieldpartners.llc with “Stop texts” and your phone number

Opting out of text messages does not affect email communication. If you also want to stop email, use the unsubscribe link in any email or contact us.

No marketing texts

We do not send bulk marketing or promotional text messages. Text communication from Shield Partners is tied to specific conversations, appointments, or active engagements you’ve initiated.

Carriers and delivery

Supported US carriers include AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and most regional and MVNO carriers. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Shield Partners is not responsible for message delivery failures caused by your carrier.

Privacy

Your phone number is handled under our Privacy Policy. We do not sell or share your phone number with third parties for marketing purposes. Text message content is transmitted through a standard SMS service provider under our contractual obligations.

Third-party services and links

The site uses third-party services (scheduling, CRM, email delivery, SMS delivery, analytics) and may link to external sites, including those of our partners Capital Energy and Pursuly. We’re not responsible for the content, practices, or policies of third-party sites. When you leave our site, their terms apply.

Intellectual property

All content on the site — writing, design, code, images, video, and the Shield Partners name and logo — is owned by Shield Partners or licensed to us. You receive no rights to our content except as described in these terms.

Disclaimers

The site and its content are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the site will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that any information provided is accurate, complete, or current. Calculators and illustrative figures are estimates for informational purposes only and do not constitute a guarantee of results.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Shield Partners disclaims all warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Shield Partners and its partners, employees, and contractors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from your use of the site, even if we’ve been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for any claim arising from your use of the site is limited to $100 or the amount you’ve paid us for services in the twelve months preceding the claim, whichever is greater.

This limitation doesn’t apply to liability that can’t be disclaimed under applicable law.

Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold Shield Partners harmless from any claims arising out of your misuse of the site, violation of these terms, or violation of any third party’s rights.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising under these terms will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we’ll update the “last updated” date above. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.
