Terms of use

1. Agreement to These Terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and First Link, Inc., an Idaho corporation doing business as First Link Safety and First Link Services ("First Link Safety," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the website located at firstlinksafetyservices.com (the "Site").

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Cookie Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

2. Who May Use the Site

You may use the Site only if you are at least 18 years old and capable of entering into a binding contract. If you are using the Site on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization to these Terms.

The Site is intended for use by businesses and professionals located in the United States.

3. What the Site Is

The Site is an informational and marketing website for First Link Safety's safety consulting, training, and related services. Through the Site, you can:

• Learn about our services, capabilities, and team
• Read informational content about safety topics
• Submit a contact form to request information or initiate a conversation about potential services

The Site is not a platform for delivering safety services. Any actual consulting, training, auditing, manual preparation, or other services provided by First Link Safety are performed under a separate written agreement between First Link Safety and the client.

4. Informational Content — Not Professional Advice

Read this section carefully.

Content on the Site — including articles, blog posts, service descriptions, training summaries, safety tips, references to OSHA standards, and any other information — is provided for general informational and marketing purposes only. It is not:

• Professional safety advice
• Legal advice
• Regulatory compliance advice
• A substitute for qualified safety consulting, training, or assessment specific to your workplace, job site, or operation
• An endorsement that any particular practice is safe or compliant for your specific circumstances

Workplace safety depends on conditions, equipment, people, jurisdictions, and regulations that vary widely. No website can substitute for a qualified safety professional evaluating your specific situation.

Do not rely on information from the Site to make safety decisions for your workplace, employees, contractors, or job sites. If you need safety advice specific to your operation, engage First Link Safety (or another qualified safety professional) under a formal services agreement.

Any reliance you place on Site content is strictly at your own risk.

5. No Consulting Relationship Created

Accessing the Site, reading content on the Site, or submitting the contact form does not:

• Create a consulting, advisory, or professional relationship between you and First Link Safety
• Entitle you to any services
• Obligate First Link Safety to respond, take action, or provide services

A consulting or services relationship with First Link Safety is formed only when both parties sign a written services agreement.

6. Intellectual Property

9. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or reference third-party services (for example, OSHA, training organizations, equipment manufacturers, certification bodies). We provide these links for convenience only. We do not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for any third-party sites, services, or content. Your use of any third-party site is at your own risk and subject to that third party's terms and policies.

10. Disclaimers

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, First Link Safety disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to:

• Warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement
• Warranties that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components
• Warranties regarding the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of Site content
• Warranties that any information on the Site is suitable for your workplace, job site, operation, or circumstances

You are solely responsible for determining whether any information on the Site is appropriate for your use.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, in no event shall First Link, Inc., First Link Safety Outfitters, LLC, their affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, or licensors be liable for any:

• Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages
• Loss of profits, revenue, business opportunities, data, or goodwill
• Bodily injury, property damage, or other harm arising from or relating to your reliance on Site content
• Damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Site

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if First Link Safety has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Where liability cannot be fully disclaimed under applicable law, First Link Safety's total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising from or relating to the Site shall not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so the above limitations may not fully apply to you.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless First Link, Inc., First Link Safety Outfitters, LLC, and their officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or relating to:

• Your use of the Site
• Your violation of these Terms
• Your violation of any law or third-party rights
• Any content or information you submit through the Site

13. Changes to the Site

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Site (or any part of it) at any time, with or without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Site.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be brought to your attention through a notice on the Site.

Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to revised Terms, stop using the Site.

15. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any dispute arising from or relating to them or the Site are governed by the laws of the State of Idaho, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

You agree that any legal action or proceeding arising from or relating to these Terms or the Site shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Payette County, Idaho, or such other venue as First Link Safety may designate, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

16. Miscellaneous

16.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and First Link Safety regarding the Site and supersede any prior agreements.

16.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

16.3 No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

16.4 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

16.5 No Third-Party Beneficiaries

Except for First Link Safety Outfitters, LLC (which is an intended third-party beneficiary with respect to Sections 6, 11, and 12), these Terms do not create rights in any third party.

16.6 Relationship of the Parties

Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, or consulting relationship between you and First Link Safety.
