Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern your use of tejascooperative.com (the "Site"), operated by Tejas Cooperative Partners (the "Firm," "we," or "us"). By using the Site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

About the Firm and the Site

The Firm is an independent consulting firm. It is not a cooperative purchasing organization and is not affiliated with BuyBoard, The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative, the Texas Association of School Boards, TIPS, The Interlocal Purchasing System, or any other cooperative. The Site provides general information about our services. It is not legal, financial, or procurement advice, and reading it does not create a client relationship.

Consulting services

Consulting services are provided only under a written Consulting Agreement signed by the Firm and the client. If these terms conflict with a signed Consulting Agreement, the Consulting Agreement controls. Use of the client portal (portal.tejascooperative.com) is governed by the Portal Terms of Use accepted when an account is activated.

No guarantee of results

Cooperative awards are decided by the cooperatives, not by the Firm. We do not guarantee that any proposal will be accepted, that any award will be made, or that any level of sales will result. Descriptions of past work are examples and are not predictions or promises of future results.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Site to break the law; to submit false, misleading, or unauthorized information; to send spam or malicious code; to interfere with or attempt to bypass the Site's security; or to scrape or copy the Site at scale without our permission.

Information you send us

When you submit a form or message, you confirm the information is accurate and that you may share it. We handle it as described in our Privacy Policy. Please do not send sensitive data such as tax IDs, bank details, or passwords through the Site's forms.

Intellectual property

The Site, including its text, design, logos, graphics, and software, is owned by the Firm or its licensors and is protected by law. You may view and share links to the Site for your own business purposes. You may not copy, modify, or redistribute our content without written permission. Cooperative names and marks belong to their owners and are used only to identify them.

Third-party links

The Site may link to websites we do not control, such as cooperative sites. We are not responsible for their content, availability, or practices.

Disclaimer of warranties

The Site is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, and we do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, accurate, or error free.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Firm and its partners, employees, and agents are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or lost business, arising from your use of the Site. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Site is limited to one hundred dollars ($100). Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Changes

We may update these terms and the Site at any time. The current terms are posted at tejascooperative.com/terms with their effective date. Continued use of the Site after an update means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute relating to the Site will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Texas, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
