Terms of Service

Last updated: March 15, 2026

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the Crestwell Partners website at crestwellpartners.com (the "Site") or any services offered by Crestwell Partners, LLC ("Crestwell," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Site, submitting any form, scheduling a call, or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or our services.

1. Overview of Services

Crestwell Partners is a fractional and interim executive placement firm. We connect growth-stage companies ("Clients") with experienced executive professionals ("Executives") for fractional, interim, or project-based leadership engagements. Our website provides information about our services, educational resources, scheduling tools, and forms for inquiries and applications.

These Terms govern your use of the Site. Placement engagements between Clients and Executives are governed by separate service agreements executed between the relevant parties.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into binding agreements to use this Site or engage our services. By using the Site, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements. If you are using the Site on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

3. Use of the Site

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in compliance with these Terms. You agree not to:

  • Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information through any form on the Site.
  • Attempt to access restricted areas of the Site, including the content management system or administrative tools.
  • Use automated tools, bots, scrapers, or similar technology to access, index, or collect data from the Site without our written permission.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the operation of the Site, its servers, or connected networks.
  • Upload or transmit viruses, malware, or any other harmful code.
  • Use the Site to send unsolicited communications or spam.
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer any portion of the Site.

We reserve the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to the Site at any time, for any reason, without notice.

4. User Submissions

When you submit information through our forms (including the contact form, executive application, newsletter signup, resource download forms, or scheduling tools), you grant Crestwell Partners permission to use that information to provide our services, respond to your inquiry, evaluate your application, or deliver requested content. You represent that any information you submit is accurate and complete, and that you have the right to provide it.

5. Executive Placement Services

The following terms apply specifically to Clients and Executives who engage with Crestwell Partners for placement services:

  • Independent Contractors. Executives placed through Crestwell Partners are independent contractors, not employees of Crestwell Partners or the Client, unless a separate written agreement specifies otherwise. Crestwell Partners does not control the manner or method by which Executives perform their work.
  • No Guarantee of Results. While we vet all Executives in our network, Crestwell Partners does not guarantee any specific business outcome, financial result, or level of performance from any Executive engagement.
  • Separate Agreements. All placement engagements are governed by separate written agreements between the relevant parties. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and a separate service agreement, the service agreement will control.

6. Fees and Payment

Certain services described on the Site (such as the discovery call) are provided at no cost. Placement fees, engagement terms, and payment schedules are outlined in separate service agreements and are not governed by these Terms. Pricing information displayed on the Site is for informational purposes only and may not reflect the final terms of a specific engagement. Crestwell Partners reserves the right to change pricing at any time without notice.

7. Non-Circumvention and Non-Solicitation

By engaging with Crestwell Partners or receiving introductions to Executives in our network, you agree not to circumvent Crestwell Partners to engage, hire, or contract with any introduced Executive directly, whether during or after the engagement, without Crestwell Partners' prior written consent. This obligation survives the termination of any engagement for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of the most recent introduction. Violation of this provision may result in liability for the full placement fee that would have been payable to Crestwell Partners.

8. Confidentiality

In the course of using the Site or our services, you may receive or have access to confidential information belonging to Crestwell Partners, our Clients, or our Executives. This includes, but is not limited to, executive profiles, business strategies, financial information, and proprietary processes. You agree to keep all such information confidential and not to disclose it to any third party without prior written consent from the disclosing party. This obligation survives the termination of any engagement or your use of the Site.

If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation, it shall be submitted to binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules.
