Thank you very much for visiting www.margaretgerety.com (our “Site”) and your interest in Margaret Gerety Advisors LLC ("we"). We are excited to transform your career collateral into materials that will make you shine. So that we can meet your expectations, please take the time to understand the following terms & conditions ("Terms").

 

Please note that by accessing or using any part of our Site or making any payment to Margaret Gerety Advisors LLC you are engaging in our "Services" and agree to be bound by these Terms. 

​

Commitment to collaboration; revisions

You play an integral part in the creation of your resume and other career materials. Your ability to provide accurate and prompt answers to questions made by phone, in emails, or in the draft documents themselves directly impacts the quality of your final materials and their timely delivery (your "Contributions"). In paying for any Service, you also agree to the following:

​

1. Commit to reviewing drafts, participating in calls, and conducting your own research to answer questions with respect to your professional background and accomplishments;

2. Make all requests for revisions, in writing, within 3 business days of receipt of the draft (by email or otherwise); and

3. Confirm the accuracy and truthfulness of all materials created as part of your Services.

​

All resumes, professional bios, cover letters, and LinkedIn profile recommendations are created based on the information and job search criteria provided by you. Requests for edits that are a material change to those representations are outside of the scope of Service. Requests that target a different job function/industry are outside of the scope of Service but can be purchased as an "Add-On Service," as described below. 

​

Process & timeline

You will receive the “First Draft” of your materials no later than 10 calendar days from your first call (not including any free consultation call). Your specific timeline will be outlined in writing. 

 

After a collaborative editing and review process, driven by your goals and desires, you will receive an email stating that the documents attached are “final.” Unless you make any final revision requests within 3 days of receipt, your Services will be deemed complete.

​

All Services are deemed complete no later than 60 calendar days from the date of your first call (not including any free consultation).

​

Inactivity & reactivation fee

If you fail to respond to requests for materials, edits, or review calls, we reserve the right to suspend our work with you after 30 days of your inactivity. Resuming your Services will be subject to our availability and a $250 reactivation fee will be applied.

​

Proofreading

Some of our Services include professional proofreading provided by an outside, independent contractor subject to a confidentiality agreement with Margaret Gerety Advisors LLC. Proofreading does not include fact-checking. Please note that once your documents go to the proofreader, you are indicating this will be the last round of revisions (i.e., no more request for substantial edits can be made).

 

Editable file 

We provide all materials in Microsoft Word and PDF. Upon request, we can send your Final Documents as Google Documents. 

 

100% satisfaction guarantee, disclaimers.

We guarantee that you’ll love your new career collateral. What does that mean? It means that we are committed to delivering an exceptional experience and a high-quality, final product. However, we cannot guarantee that your revised resume, cover letter, and/or LinkedIn profile will secure you an interview or job offer, result in your being hired, or are 100% error-free.

 

Our guarantee expires 30 days after the Final Documents are received. You forfeit the right to our guarantee if you do not actively Collaborate during the process or provide any requested information. At any point during the 30-day window, please feel free to reach out info@margaretgerety.com with any concerns or questions.

 

Refund policy

Since this is a service-based business that creates bespoke career collateral that cannot be physically returned, we do not offer refunds. We urge you to give us your feedback (to info@margaretgerety.com) to help us achieve total client satisfaction.

Any pricing structure discussed via phone or displayed on our Site may be subject to future change at any time. We reserve the right to cancel or cease offering any of the aforementioned Services and/or products. You acknowledge, accept, and agree that Margaret Gerety Advisors LLC shall not be held liable for any such updates, modifications, revisions, suspensions, or discontinuance of any of our Services and/or products.

​

Document retention; right to use of Final Documents

Consistent with our Privacy policy, we store any materials, including primary documents, the information you provide to us as part of your Services, and your Final Documents, for at least 3 years after delivery of the Final Documents.

 

We reserve the right to use redacted versions of any Final Documents for promotional or marketing purposes.

We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control. If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

Except where prohibited by applicable law, you agree that these Terms will not be construed against us by virtue of having drafted them. You hereby waive any and all defenses you may have based on the electronic form of these Terms and the lack of signing by the parties hereto to execute these Terms.
