CORE ASCENT
WEBSITE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Effective Date: August 5, 2026
These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) govern access to and use of the website located at coreascent.co (the “Site”), operated by Cole Carter, doing business as Core Ascent, a Florida sole proprietorship with a principal address of 2045 66th Avenue South, St. Petersburg, FL 33712 (“Core Ascent,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
1. THESE TERMS COVER THE SITE, NOT THE SERVICES
Core Ascent offers nutrition and fitness coaching services (the “Services”) under a separate, signed Client Services Agreement. If you purchase or receive Services, that Client Services Agreement, including its payment, refund, cancellation, informed consent, and arbitration provisions, exclusively governs the Services and controls over these Terms in any conflict. These Terms govern only your use of the Site, its content, and its interactive features. Descriptions of programs or pricing on the Site are informational; the prices and terms that bind the parties are those in your signed Client Services Agreement and its Order Form.
2. ELIGIBILITY
The Site may be viewed by anyone. Purchasing Services requires being at least 18 years of age; Core Ascent may, in its discretion, serve a minor only when a parent or legal guardian co-signs the Client Services Agreement and Informed Consent and assumes responsibility as provided there. You must comply with the laws that apply to you in your location.
3. ACCOUNTS AND COMMENTS
Browsing does not require an account. Creating an account, where offered, is required to post comments or use interactive features; you must provide accurate information and keep your credentials secure. By posting a comment, you grant Core Ascent a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use, display, and distribute that comment. We may monitor, remove, or refuse any comment at our sole discretion, without notice. Prohibited conduct on the Site includes illegal activity, harassment, defamation, spam, posting harmful or infringing content, attempting to disrupt or gain unauthorized access to the Site or its integrations, and commercial use of the Site without our written permission.
4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY; DMCA
All content on the Site, including text, graphics, logos, educational materials, program descriptions, and design elements, is owned by Core Ascent (Cole Carter, sole proprietor) or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You receive a limited, non-transferable license to view Site content for personal, non-commercial use. Reproduction, distribution, modification, or creation of derivative works without express written consent is prohibited. The “Core Ascent” name and marks may not be used without permission.
We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. To report claimed infringement on the Site, send a written notice to cartercbus@gmail.com including: (a) identification of the copyrighted work; (b) identification and location of the allegedly infringing material; (c) your contact information; (d) a statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized; (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act; and (f) your physical or electronic signature. We will remove or disable access to material identified in a valid notice and may terminate repeat infringers.
5. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
The Site uses third-party services, including PayPal for payments, WordPress and Elementor for site functionality, and Google Analytics for usage analytics. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their performance or data practices. We do not store your full payment card details on our servers.
6. SITE CONTENT IS EDUCATIONAL ONLY
Articles, posts, videos, and other free content on the Site are provided for general educational purposes and are not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and do not create a provider-client relationship. Personalized services, including Medical Nutrition Therapy provided by licensed registered dietitians, are available only under a signed Client Services Agreement and Informed Consent. Never disregard professional medical advice because of something read on the Site. The Site and Services are not for emergencies; call 911 or local emergency services in a health crisis.
7. DISCLAIMERS
The Site is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or that the Site is free of viruses or other harmful components.
8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Core Ascent and its personnel are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from use of the Site. Our total liability for claims arising from Site use is limited to the greater of the amounts you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or one hundred dollars ($100). Liability relating to the Services is governed exclusively by the Client Services Agreement. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising out of your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of third-party rights.
9. TERMINATION
We may suspend or terminate access to the Site at any time for violations of these Terms or to protect the Site and its users. Sections 3 through 8, 10, and 11 survive termination.
10. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
We may update these Terms from time to time. Revised Terms will be posted on the Site with an updated effective date, and material changes will be notified by Site notice or email where feasible, with 30 days’ advance notice where practicable. Continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
11. GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTES ABOUT THE SITE
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes arising from Site use (as distinct from the Services, which are governed by the Client Services Agreement and its arbitration clause) shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Pinellas County, Florida, and you consent to their jurisdiction. The parties waive class actions and jury trials to the extent permitted by law and agree to attempt informal resolution for 30 days before filing.
