Last Updated: September 15, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of mickschacke.com (the “Website”), including its content, features, and services.

The Website is operated by Mick Schacke (“Mick Schacke,” “I,” “me,” or “my”).

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

1. Purpose of the Website

The Website provides information about Mick Schacke, including speaking, training, mentoring, consulting, professional experience, perspectives, content, and potential collaboration opportunities.

Information presented on the Website is provided for general informational and educational purposes. Nothing on the Website creates a client, consulting, employment, partnership, agency, or other professional relationship unless both parties enter into a separate written agreement.

2. Eligibility and Acceptable Use

You may use the Website only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

You agree not to:

• Use the Website in violation of any applicable law or regulation

• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website, its systems, or associated accounts

• Interfere with the Website’s security, performance, availability, or operation

• Introduce viruses, malicious code, automated attacks, or other harmful material

• Scrape, harvest, or collect information from the Website through unauthorized automated means

• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity or affiliation

• Submit false, misleading, unlawful, abusive, or infringing material

• Copy, reproduce, republish, sell, license, or commercially exploit Website content without permission

• Use the Website or its content in a manner that could damage Mick Schacke’s reputation, rights, or legitimate interests

I may restrict or terminate access to the Website when I reasonably believe these Terms have been violated.

3. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the Website and its original content—including text, graphics, photographs, videos, presentations, branding, logos, designs, downloads, and other materials—are owned by or licensed to Mick Schacke and may be protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws.

You may access and view the Website for personal, informational, and legitimate business-evaluation purposes.

You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, publish, display, sell, license, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit Website content without prior written permission, except as allowed by applicable law.

Any third-party names, trademarks, logos, products, or services referenced on the Website remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance does not necessarily indicate sponsorship, endorsement, affiliation, or approval.

4. User Submissions

The Website may allow you to submit inquiries, messages, documents, event information, feedback, or other materials.

You represent that:

• You have the right to submit the material

• The material is accurate to the best of your knowledge

• The submission does not violate another person’s rights

• The submission does not contain unlawful, harmful, defamatory, or malicious content

You retain ownership of materials you submit. However, you grant me permission to receive, store, review, and use the material as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry, evaluate an opportunity, provide a requested service, operate the Website, and maintain appropriate professional records.

Submitting an idea, proposal, or other material does not require me to treat it as confidential unless we have entered into a separate written confidentiality agreement.

5. Speaking, Training, Mentoring, and Consulting Services

Descriptions of speaking, training, mentoring, consulting, or other professional services on the Website are general and do not constitute a binding offer.

The scope, pricing, scheduling, travel requirements, cancellation terms, deliverables, payment terms, intellectual-property rights, and other conditions for a specific engagement will be established through a separate written agreement when applicable.

Submitting an inquiry or scheduling an introductory conversation does not guarantee availability, acceptance, or the formation of a professional relationship.

If these Terms conflict with a signed written agreement covering a specific engagement, the signed agreement will control for that engagement.

6. No Professional Advice

Website content reflects general experience, opinions, observations, and educational information. It should not be interpreted as legal, financial, tax, medical, mental-health, employment, or other regulated professional advice.

You are responsible for evaluating information and obtaining advice from appropriately qualified professionals before making decisions that may affect your business, finances, health, legal rights, or other important interests.

7. No Guarantee of Results

Examples, strategies, experiences, testimonials, case studies, or discussions of potential outcomes are provided for illustrative and educational purposes.

Individual and business results vary. They may depend on factors including experience, effort, implementation, market conditions, resources, timing, leadership, and circumstances outside my control.

I do not promise or guarantee any particular financial, sales, business, professional, personal, or other result from using the Website, consuming its content, attending a presentation, or engaging with any service.

Testimonials and examples represent individual experiences and should not be interpreted as promises of typical or guaranteed outcomes.

8. Accuracy and Availability

I make reasonable efforts to provide useful and accurate information. However, Website content may contain errors, omissions, outdated information, or opinions that change over time.

I do not guarantee that:

• All Website information is complete, accurate, or current

• The Website will always be available or uninterrupted

• The Website will be free from errors, viruses, or harmful components

• Defects or technical problems will always be corrected

• Information presented will be suitable for your particular circumstances

I may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Website without notice.

9. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website may link to or integrate with third-party websites, platforms, calendars, videos, social networks, or service providers.

These third parties operate independently and may have their own terms and privacy practices. I do not control and am not responsible for their content, availability, security, products, services, policies, or conduct.

A link or reference does not necessarily constitute an endorsement. You access third-party services at your own discretion and risk.

10. Privacy

Your use of the Website is also subject to the Privacy Policy, available at:

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory.

This includes, to the extent permitted by law, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, and non-infringement.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

• Your access to or use of the Website

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

14. Indemnification

• Your unlawful or unauthorized use of the Website

• Material you submit through the Website

• Your infringement of another person’s rights

This section does not require you to indemnify Mick Schacke for conduct for which indemnification may not lawfully be required.

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Website will be brought in a court with lawful jurisdiction in Michigan, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the greatest extent permitted, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

17. No Waiver

A failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not waive the right to enforce that provision or any other provision in the future.

18. Changes to These Terms

I may update these Terms periodically. Revised Terms will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.

Your continued use of the Website after revised Terms are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
