Terms & Conditions

Website use

These terms govern use of the public website. If you disagree, discontinue use. You may use it for lawful business and informational purposes. Do not attempt unauthorized access, disrupt systems, submit malicious content, impersonate others, or share information you lack authority to disclose.

A consultation request is not an appointment, accepted proposal, or professional engagement. Services begin only when the parties agree to an appropriate written engagement.

Information and outcomes

Website materials provide general information and may not reflect every recent legal, payer, accounting, or regulatory change. They are not individualized medical, legal, tax, investment, or audit advice. Obtain appropriate professional advice before relying on them for a specific decision.

Financial improvement, reimbursement, payer acceptance, compliance findings, and other results depend on facts outside the advisor’s control. No particular recovery, financial result, audit outcome, or legal protection is guaranteed. Illustrative examples are not promises of client results.

Intellectual property and links

Original website content belongs to its rights holders. Personal or internal evaluation use is permitted; commercial republication, misleading attribution, or use of branding to imply affiliation requires authorization. Third-party marks and materials remain their owners’ property.

Links are provided for convenience. Listing a regulator, professional association, or technology provider does not mean that it endorses Melissa or that Melissa is certified by it.

Agreements and legal rights

A signed engagement agreement controls the contracted scope, fees, deliverables, confidentiality, data handling, ownership, termination, liability allocation, and dispute procedures. Website terms do not amend that agreement.

Nothing here excludes rights or duties that applicable law makes nonwaivable. These website terms do not impose mandatory arbitration or waive statutory remedies. Report concerns to support@melissafrierson.com.

Availability and changes

Website access and external services may be interrupted or changed. These terms may be updated with a revised date; updates do not retroactively change an executed engagement agreement.
