Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the website of The McGehrin Group LLC ("McGehrin Group," "we," "us," or "our") or by engaging our executive branding services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our website or services.

2. Services

McGehrin Group provides executive branding services including, but not limited to, executive resume writing, LinkedIn profile optimization, executive biography writing, and board resume preparation. All services are performed by senior US-based writers with expertise in executive career positioning and the executive search industry.

McGehrin Group does not provide job placement services, recruiting services, or guarantees of employment. Our services are designed to enhance the visibility and marketability of your executive brand; outcomes depend on factors outside our control, including market conditions, individual qualifications, and the decisions of third-party employers and recruiters.

3. Refund Guarantee

McGehrin Group offers a 7-day refund guarantee on our executive branding services. If you request it within seven (7) days after making your first payment, we will provide a full refund of all amounts paid. After that period, amounts paid are nonrefundable. This guarantee does not extend to revision requests made after the 7-day period.

4. Lifetime Revisions

McGehrin Group provides lifetime revisions on all executive branding documents we create. This means that as your career evolves, we will update your documents to reflect new roles, achievements, and career objectives at no additional charge. Lifetime revision requests are subject to reasonable turnaround times and are limited to updates to existing documents, not the creation of entirely new documents.
