Terms of Use

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) apply to your use of stusyn.com (the “Site”), which is operated by Syndicate Holdings Group LLC (“Syndicate,” “we,” “us”). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Site.

Services we provide to clients, such as consultations or marketing services, may be covered by separate agreements or booking terms. If those terms conflict with these Terms, the separate terms apply to that service.

2. Using the Site

You may use the Site for lawful purposes only. You agree not to:

• send false information, impersonate anyone, or apply for a job on someone else’s behalf without permission;
• upload viruses, malicious code or files you don’t have the right to share;
• try to access areas you aren’t authorized to use, including the admin dashboard, or interfere with the Site’s security;
• scrape the Site, send spam, or overload it with automated requests.

3. Ideas you send us

We invite people to “bring us an idea.” Because we’re a studio that builds companies, we hear many ideas, and we often work on similar concepts ourselves. So that everyone is clear:

• No confidentiality by default. Ideas, pitches and other materials you send through the Site or by email aren’t treated as confidential or proprietary, unless we’ve both signed a written confidentiality agreement first.
• No obligation. Sending an idea doesn’t create a partnership, employment, investment, or any other relationship or obligation. That includes any obligation to review, respond to, develop or pay for it.
• Independent work. We may already have developed, or may later develop, ideas similar to yours on our own. Getting your idea doesn’t limit our right to do so.
• Don’t send secrets. If an idea is sensitive, send us a short, non-confidential summary first and ask about a confidentiality agreement.

Any partnership with Syndicate will be set out in a separate written agreement signed by both parties.

4. Not an investment offer

Syndicate is an independent holding studio. We don’t offer capital, manage funds or solicit investments. Nothing on the Site is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security or investment.

5. Results and statements

Figures we share, such as GMV driven by Creator Ops Media, describe past results for specific brand partners. Results depend on many factors, including product, pricing, market conditions and platform policies. Past results don’t guarantee future results, and nothing on the Site is a promise of any particular outcome.

6. Consultations

Creator Ops Media offers 1:1 consultations with Grady Davis. The current rate is $150 per hour, and we confirm the time, length and payment details by email before each session. Rates may change, but the rate confirmed for a booked session won’t.

Consultations are general business guidance about TikTok Shop and social commerce. They aren’t legal, tax, financial or accounting advice. TikTok’s features and policies change often, and results depend on your products, team and execution. You’re responsible for decisions you make based on a session.

7. Our content and trademarks

The Site and its content, including text, design, graphics, logos and code, are owned by Syndicate or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. You may view and share links to the Site for personal or internal business use, but you may not copy, modify or distribute its content without our written permission.

“Syndicate,” “Syndicate Holdings Group,” “Creator Ops Media” and “Syndicate Marketing” are names and marks of Syndicate. Other names, such as TikTok, ByteDance, Intake Breathing and Rap Snacks, belong to their respective owners. They’re mentioned only to describe our work, and their use doesn’t imply endorsement.

Syndicate is an independent company. It isn’t owned by, and doesn’t act on behalf of, TikTok or ByteDance.

8. Applications and messages

When you send a message or job application, you confirm that the information is accurate and that you have the right to share it. Submitting an application doesn’t guarantee an interview or a job offer. Job listings describe roles as we understand them at the time, and we may change or close them at any time.

9. Links to other sites

The Site may link to sites we don’t control. We aren’t responsible for their content, policies or practices.

10. Disclaimers

The Site is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don’t warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Syndicate and its affiliates, officers, employees and agents won’t be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data or goodwill, arising from your use of the Site. Our total liability for any claim related to the Site is limited to one hundred US dollars ($100).

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Syndicate from claims, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from your misuse of the Site or your violation of these Terms.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute about the Site or these Terms will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

14. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date shows when they last changed. If you keep using the Site after a change, you accept the updated Terms.
