Legal

Terms of Use

Effective date: July 25, 2026

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Apprenticeship 2 Entrepreneurship LLC ("A2E," "we," "us," "our"), a Texas limited liability company based in Houston, Texas.

They govern your use of apprenticeship2entrepreneurship.com, its subdomains, and any A2E tool, form, or online service that links to these Terms (together, the "Services").

By using the Services, you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Services.

If you use the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" includes that organization.

2. What the Services are

A2E provides workforce development education, training, referral, and organizational tools. That is the entire scope.

What the Services are not. The Services are not, and must never be relied on as:

Legal advice or legal representation. A2E is not a law firm. No one at A2E is acting as your attorney. Nothing in the Services creates an attorney-client relationship.
Interpretation of court orders or conditions of supervision. A2E does not read, interpret, construe, or advise on the meaning or requirements of any court order, probation condition, parole condition, community supervision order, protective order, or any other legal instrument.
A determination of your legal eligibility for anything. A2E does not determine whether you are permitted to take a particular job, live at a particular address, travel to a particular place, or take any other action under the terms of your supervision or under any law.
Financial, credit, tax, insurance, or investment advice. See Section 5.
Medical, mental health, or clinical advice. If you are in crisis, call or text 988, or call 911.
A guarantee of any outcome. See Section 6.

3. The Compliance Companion

The Compliance Companion is an organizational and reminder tool. You enter dates, obligations, and information; it helps you keep them in one place and reminds you about them.

You agree to the following, and this section survives any other statement, marketing copy, or conversation:

A2E does not interpret your conditions of supervision. Only your supervising officer, the court, or your attorney can tell you what your conditions require.
A2E does not determine your eligibility for any job, housing, travel, program, or activity.
A2E does not guarantee that any reminder will be delivered, delivered on time, or accurate. Notifications depend on networks, devices, carriers, and data you supply, all of which can fail.
A2E does not guarantee compliance, and cannot prevent a violation, revocation, arrest, or any other legal consequence.
You remain solely responsible for knowing and meeting every requirement of your supervision, your court orders, and the law. Always confirm dates, requirements, and permissions directly with your supervising officer, the court, or your attorney. Do not rely on the Compliance Companion as your only source.
A2E does not communicate with, report to, or act on behalf of any court, probation department, parole board, or supervising agency on your behalf.

If anything in the Services ever appears to conflict with an instruction from your supervising officer, the court, or your attorney, follow them, not us.

You own your documents. Sharing them with A2E does not transfer ownership.
You grant us a limited license to store, process, and display your documents solely to provide the support you requested, and for no other purpose. This license ends when the documents are deleted.
You must have the right to share what you share. Do not upload documents containing another person's personal information without their permission, and do not upload anything you are prohibited from disclosing.
You can have your documents deleted at any time by emailing info@a2e.llc. See the Privacy Policy for our timeline.
We may decline or remove any upload, and we may limit file types and sizes.
Do not send us Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, payment card numbers, or medical records through this website.

5. Capital-Ready and the Capital Readiness Coach

Capital-Ready programming and the Capital Readiness Coach provide educational information about preparing for a funding conversation. Nothing more.

A2E is not, and does not act as:

a bank, credit union, or depository institution
a lender, creditor, or loan originator
a loan broker, mortgage broker, or finance broker
a credit repair organization as defined by the Credit Repair Organizations Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1679 et seq., or under Texas law
a credit services organization under Texas Finance Code Chapter 393
an investment adviser, broker-dealer, financial planner, or tax professional

A2E does not: originate, arrange, negotiate, broker, underwrite, approve, deny, price, or guarantee any loan, line of credit, grant, or other funding; make credit decisions; take credit applications; repair, rebuild, or improve your credit record, history, or rating; or promise that any lender, grantmaker, or funder will approve you.

Third parties decide. Any lender, community development financial institution, grantmaker, or funder referenced in the Services is independent of A2E. They alone determine eligibility, terms, pricing, and approval, under their own criteria. Being referred to, matched with, or introduced to any funding source is not an application, a pre-qualification, an offer, or an indication of approval.

No fee for credit-related services. A2E does not charge participants for Capital-Ready programming or any credit- or funding-related assistance.

Consult a licensed professional before making a financial decision.

6. No guarantee of outcomes

A2E provides education, training, and support. A2E does not guarantee, promise, or warrant employment, hiring, wages, earnings, income, business revenue, credential recognition by any specific employer, admission to any program, receipt of any benefit, approval of any funding, expungement or modification of any record, favorable treatment by any agency or court, or any other result.

Any statistic, range, or example figure appearing in the Services is general information about the field, not a projection of your result, and is not a representation of what any A2E participant has achieved unless it is explicitly identified as reported program data with its source and program named.

Program completion standards, credential requirements, and outcome measures are set by A2E and by the applicable funding source, and may change.

7. Your responsibilities

You agree to provide accurate information, keep your access credentials confidential, and use the Services only for lawful purposes.

You agree not to: impersonate anyone; upload malicious code; scrape, harvest, or bulk-extract content or data; attempt to access accounts, systems, or data you are not authorized to access; interfere with the operation or security of the Services; reverse engineer or decompile any part of the Services; or use the Services to harass, defraud, or harm anyone.

We may suspend or terminate access for any violation, and we may report unlawful conduct to the appropriate authorities.

8. Intellectual property

The Services, and all curriculum, courseware, assessments, measurement frameworks, outcome matrices, reporting templates, documentation standards, text, graphics, video, logos, page design, and software within them, are owned by Apprenticeship 2 Entrepreneurship LLC or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.

Apprenticeship 2 Entrepreneurship™ and A2E™ are trademarks of Apprenticeship 2 Entrepreneurship LLC.

License to you. You may view and use the Services for your personal, non-commercial use, or for the internal use of an organization that holds a current written agreement with A2E, strictly within that agreement's scope.

What you may not do. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, publish, adapt, translate, create derivative works from, publicly display, license, sell, or commercially exploit any part of the Services; remove or alter any proprietary notice; or use A2E curriculum, assessments, or measurement frameworks to deliver training to third parties, except under a written license agreement signed by A2E.

Licensed partners. Organizations that license A2E materials receive rights only as stated in their written agreement. Nothing on this website grants a license, and nothing here expands one.

Feedback. If you send us ideas or suggestions, you grant us an unrestricted right to use them without obligation to you.

9. Third-party services and links

The Services may link to or embed third-party sites, tools, and resources. We do not control them, we do not endorse them by linking, and we are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, security, or practices. Your dealings with any third party are between you and that party.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, A2E disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; that any reminder, notification, or message will be delivered or delivered on time; that any information will be accurate, complete, or current; or that any defect will be corrected.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions. In those jurisdictions, our warranties are limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.

Nothing in these Terms waives or limits any right you have under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices–Consumer Protection Act that cannot lawfully be waived or limited.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

A2E and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, volunteers, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost business opportunity, loss of goodwill, or loss of liberty, arising out of or relating to the Services, whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, statute, or any other theory, and whether or not we were advised of the possibility.

Without limiting the above, A2E is not liable for any legal consequence you experience, including arrest, detention, revocation, sanction, denial of housing or employment, or any court outcome, arising from a missed date, a late or undelivered reminder, inaccurate or incomplete information, your reliance on the Services instead of your supervising officer, the court, or your attorney, or any decision by a third-party employer, landlord, lender, or agency.

Cap. Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid A2E for the Services in the twelve months before the claim, or one hundred dollars ($100.00).

These limits apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless A2E and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, volunteers, and agents from any claim, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any law or third-party right, or any content or document you submit.

13. Communications and electronic records

By providing your contact information, you consent to receive communications from us electronically, and you agree that electronic agreements, notices, and records satisfy any legal requirement that they be in writing.

Marketing calls and text messages are sent only with your separate express written consent, given through our consent form. Consent to marketing messages is never a condition of receiving any A2E service, program, or benefit. You may withdraw consent at any time — reply STOP to any text message, use the unsubscribe link in any email, or email info@a2e.llc. We will still send you transactional messages about a program you are enrolled in.

14. Suspension and termination

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without cause. Sections 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, and 16 survive termination.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

You and A2E agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Harris County, Texas, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

Talk to us first. Before filing anything, email info@a2e.llc describing the dispute and what you want. We will do the same. Give us 30 days to work it out. Most things get resolved here.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief, or from bringing a claim in small claims court where jurisdiction allows.

16. General

Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and A2E about the Services, and supersede prior discussions. If you have a separate signed agreement with A2E, that agreement controls where it conflicts with these Terms.

Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it is modified to the minimum extent necessary, or severed, and the rest remains in effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not create rights in anyone other than you and A2E.

Changes. We may update these Terms. We will change the "Last updated" date and, for material changes, post notice on the site. Continued use after the effective date of a change means you accept it.
