These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern: (a) your use of the Elevated Business Consulting website (the “Site”) and (b) any consulting, design, development, implementation, support, or related services provided by Elevated Business Consulting (“EBC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). If a separate Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) or Statement of Work (“SOW”) is executed, that document controls where it conflicts with these Terms.
