Terms & Conditions

Grit & Growth Coffee Consulting Inc. Effective Date: August 13, 2026 Last Updated: August 13, 2026

Grit & Growth Coffee Consulting Inc. is a d/b/a of Arthur Shalagin Consulting Inc. ("Grit & Growth," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms & Conditions (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of gritandgrowth.coffee (the "Site"), your engagement with our consulting services, your requests for samples, quotes, and purchases of green coffee, and our communications with you by email, phone, and text message.

By using the Site, requesting a sample, placing an order, contacting us, opting in to our communications, or otherwise doing business with us, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

1. Who We Are and Who These Terms Are For

We are a business-to-business importer and seller of green (unroasted) specialty coffee and a consultancy serving the coffee industry. The Site and our offerings are directed to businesses — roasters, cafes, distributors, and similar commercial buyers — and to individuals acting in a commercial capacity on behalf of a business.

By using the Site, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age and, where you act for a business, that you are authorized to bind that business to these Terms.

2. Our Services

We provide consulting services to the coffee industry, including sourcing guidance, business advisory, workshops, and related offerings, alongside the sale of green coffee. Descriptions of services on the Site are informational and do not constitute a binding offer; specific engagements are governed by separate written agreements.

3. Samples and Sample Requests

Sample requests submitted through the Site are requests, not orders. We review each request and may accept, decline, or limit it at our discretion, including limits on quantity and frequency.

Samples are provided for evaluation purposes only. Unless we state otherwise in writing, samples are provided free of charge and are not for resale. Cupping results, scores, and descriptions shared with samples reflect our good-faith evaluation of the lots at the time of assessment; your own evaluation controls your purchasing decision.

4. Orders, Quotes, and Availability

All offerings on the Site — including lot descriptions, scores, elevations, and availability — are invitations to inquire, not binding offers. An order becomes binding only when we confirm it in writing (including by email or invoice).

Green coffee is an agricultural product sold from finite lots. All offerings are subject to prior sale and remaining availability. Where minimum order quantities apply (for example, container-only lots), those minimums will be stated before confirmation.

If we and you sign a separate written agreement or contract for a purchase or consulting engagement (including any contract incorporating Green Coffee Association or similar industry terms), that agreement controls over these Terms to the extent of any conflict.

5. Pricing and Payment

Prices are quoted in U.S. dollars and, unless stated otherwise, exclude shipping, taxes, and duties. Quoted prices are valid for the period stated in the quote or, if none is stated, for 14 days.

Payments made through the Site are processed by Stripe, a third-party payment processor, under Stripe's own terms and privacy policy. We do not store full payment card numbers or bank account numbers. For invoiced orders, payment terms are as stated on the invoice.

We may correct pricing or clerical errors on the Site or in quotes, and may cancel any unconfirmed request affected by such an error.

6. Shipping, Title, and Risk of Loss

Shipping terms, costs, and timelines are stated at confirmation or on the invoice. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, title and risk of loss pass to you when the goods are delivered to the carrier.

Delivery dates are good-faith estimates. We are not liable for delays caused by carriers, customs, weather, port congestion, or other events outside our reasonable control.

7. Inspection and Claims

You should inspect goods promptly on delivery. Claims for shortage, damage, or nonconformity must be made in writing within 10 business days of delivery, with reasonable supporting detail (including photographs and, where relevant, samples of the delivered goods). We will work with you in good faith to resolve verified claims through replacement, credit, or refund at our option.

Green coffee is a natural agricultural product. Reasonable variation in moisture, screen size, appearance, and cup character within the ordinary range for the lot and origin does not constitute nonconformity.

8. SMS / Text Messaging Program

By providing your phone number and consenting to receive text messages — verbally, in writing, or through any other opt-in method — you agree to receive recurring SMS messages from Grit & Growth Coffee Consulting Inc. (Arthur Shalagin Consulting Inc.), including meeting scheduling and confirmations, follow-ups to conversations, customer support replies, and occasional information about our consulting services such as packages, workshops, availability, and pricing.

9. Acceptable Use of the Site

You agree not to:

We may suspend or terminate access to the Site for violations of these Terms.

10. Intellectual Property

The Site and its contents — including text, graphics, logos, images, lot descriptions, and design — are owned by Arthur Shalagin Consulting Inc. or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to access and use the Site for its intended business purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from the Site's contents for commercial purposes without our prior written consent, except as necessary for ordinary business evaluation of our offerings.

"Grit & Growth" and our logo are our trade names and marks. Producer and farm names referenced on the Site are used to identify origin and provenance.

11. Third-Party Services and Links

The Site relies on third-party services, including hosting, payment processing (Stripe), and email delivery. The Site may also link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the content, terms, or privacy practices of third parties, and links do not imply endorsement.

12. Privacy

Our collection, use, and disclosure of information is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

13. Disclaimers

THE SITE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

Consulting insights shared through the Site or our communications are general in nature and do not constitute legal, financial, or other professional advice.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN A CONFIRMED ORDER, INVOICE, OR SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT, GOODS ARE SOLD WITHOUT EXPRESS WARRANTIES, AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE DISCLAIMED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION LIMITS THE CLAIMS PROCESS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 7 OR ANY RIGHTS THAT CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, OR LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITE, OUR COMMUNICATIONS, OR ANY TRANSACTION UNDER THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR ANY TRANSACTION WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE GOODS OR SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100) IF NO SUCH PAYMENT WAS MADE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING SOLELY TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Site, or your violation of applicable law in connection with your use of the Site or purchase of goods or services, except to the extent caused by our own breach or misconduct.

16. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York, and the parties consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there. Before filing any claim, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally by contacting each other using the details in Section 18.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date above and post the updated Terms on this page. Changes apply prospectively from posting; the Terms in effect when an order was confirmed continue to govern that order. Your continued use of the Site or our services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

19. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any confirmed order, invoice, or separate written agreement, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site.
