Terms of Service

Plain terms for the site and for the work.

These terms cover your use of this site, the free Growth Report, and our paid engagements. They are written to be read, not skimmed, so they are short.

Effective October 27, 2026.

Who we are

Plain terms for the site and for working with us.

Founder Reels is a personal brand strategy service for founders and executives, operated by Los Angeles Brands from 15442 Ventura Blvd., Ste 101-2797, Sherman Oaks, CA 91403. These terms cover your use of founderreels.com, the free Personal Brand Growth Report, and our paid engagements. By using the site, requesting a report, or hiring us, you agree to them.

If we sign a separate written agreement for an engagement, that agreement controls wherever it conflicts with this page.

The free report

The report is our assessment, offered without obligation.

  • What it is. The Personal Brand Growth Report scores your public presence across five dimensions: Discoverability, Credibility, Clarity, Content, and Conversion. It is our professional opinion, based on what is public about you and what you tell us, at the time we prepare it.
  • What it is not. It is not legal, financial, employment, or investment advice, and it is not a guarantee of any outcome. You decide what to do with it.
  • No obligation. Requesting a report does not commit you to anything. We may follow up by email about the paid tiers, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
  • Accurate information. You agree that what you submit is accurate and that you have the right to share it. We may decline to prepare a report for anyone, at our discretion, and we will tell you if we do.
  • One per person. The report is for you, about you. If you want a report prepared for someone else, ask them to request it.
Paid engagements

Three tiers, each with a written scope.

Every paid engagement starts with the report. The programs are Findable in 7 Days, a one-page personal brand website built in seven days; Findable in 30 Days, which runs thirty days; and The Pipeline Build, which runs twelve weeks. Findable in 7 Days has a fixed price, shown on its page. Program pricing depends on scope, and we quote it to you directly, on a call or in writing. Before work begins we confirm the scope, the schedule, and the price in writing. That confirmation is part of your agreement with us.

Payment

Findable in 7 Days is paid in full before the kickoff call. Findable in 30 Days and The Pipeline Build are paid in full before work begins, or in three installments agreed in writing, with the first due before kickoff. Any bonus offered for paying in full applies only when the full fee is received before kickoff. Invoices are due on receipt. If a payment is late, we may pause work until it is received.

Refunds and cancellation

Findable in 7 Days carries one guarantee: if your page is not live within seven days of the kickoff call, for reasons on our side, we refund the fee in full. The seven days run from the call, and pause while we wait on material or approval from you. You may cancel Findable in 30 Days or The Pipeline Build before the kickoff for a full refund. Once work has begun, fees are not refundable, because the work is planned and staffed around your engagement. Findable in 30 Days also carries the week-one commitment described on the homepage: if, after week one, the positioning work has not changed how you describe yourself, tell us and we stop there, and you pay for that week only. If we cannot deliver what we agreed, we will refund the part of the fee that covers the undelivered work.

Your part

  • Access and materials. You provide the information, materials, and account access the work requires, and you confirm you have the right to give them to us.
  • Timely feedback. Engagements run on a schedule. You review and respond within the turnaround times set in your scope. If you do not, the schedule moves and the end date moves with it.
  • Final say. Nothing is published under your name without your approval. You are responsible for what you approve.
  • Your accounts. Your LinkedIn profile and any other account stay yours. If you give us access, we use it only for the agreed work, and you can revoke it at any time.
Ownership

The work is yours. The method stays ours.

  • Deliverables. Once an engagement is paid in full, you own the deliverables we created for you: your positioning, your headline and profile copy, your content, and your assets.
  • Our methods. The Presence Stack, our scoring dimensions, our templates, processes, and know-how remain ours. You may use them in your own work, but you may not resell them, teach them commercially, or present them as your own framework.
  • Your materials. You keep ownership of everything you give us. You grant us permission to use it to do the work.
  • Naming you. We do not name you as a client, quote your results, or show your work publicly without your written permission. If you agree to a case study, its terms are set in writing at that time.
  • Site content. The text, design, and images on this site and in Notes belong to Founder Reels. You may link to any page and quote short passages with attribution. You may not republish pages or Notes in full without permission.
No guarantees

We build the presence. The platforms and the market decide the rest.

We promise the work described in your scope, done to a professional standard. We do not promise followers, impressions, leads, meetings, revenue, a job, an investment, a search ranking, or any other specific outcome. Those depend on the platforms, on your market, and on what you do with the work after we deliver it.

LinkedIn and the other platforms we work with are run by third parties under their own terms. They change their rules and their algorithms without notice, and we do not control them. You are responsible for complying with the terms of any platform where your content appears.

Liability

Our responsibility is capped at what you paid us.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the services and the site are provided as they are, and our total liability to you for any claim arising from them is limited to the fees you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses, including lost profit, lost opportunity, or damage to reputation, even if we were told they were possible.

Nothing on this page limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud or for gross negligence.

You agree to hold us harmless from claims that arise from materials you provided, from content you approved for publication, or from your breach of these terms.

Ending an engagement

Either side can end it, in writing.

You may end an engagement at any time by emailing us. Fees already paid are handled under the refund terms above. We may end an engagement if you do not pay, if you ask us to do something unlawful or dishonest, or if the working relationship has broken down. If we end an engagement for our own reasons, we refund the part of the fee that covers undelivered work.

Sections on ownership, liability, and governing law continue to apply after an engagement ends.

Governing law

California law, resolved in Los Angeles County.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute that we cannot resolve by talking it through will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you agree to their jurisdiction.

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. If we do not enforce a term on one occasion, we can still enforce it later.

Changes and contact

If this page changes, the date at the top changes with it.

We may update these terms as the business changes. The effective date at the top of the page is the date of the current version. Changes apply to engagements that start after that date. An engagement already under way stays on the terms it started with unless we both agree otherwise in writing.
