Terms of Service

Welcome to Fat Yankee Jerky. By using this website, joining our Skool community, or purchasing our guides, courses, or templates (the "Services"), you agree to these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully. If you don't agree, please don't use the Services.

1. Who we are

Fat Yankee Jerky is an education business owned by Keith Rainville, based in Spring Hill, Florida, United States. When we say "we," "us," or "our," we mean Fat Yankee Jerky.

2. Our content is educational — not legal, medical, or professional advice

Everything we publish, teach, sell, or share — including the Great Beef Jerky Guide, the HACCP Plan template, Bring Your Jerky to Market, the Beef Jerky Master Class, community posts, videos, emails, and consultation conversations — is for educational and informational purposes only.

Specifically:

• Our HACCP Plan is a starting template based on Keith's own operation. You are responsible for adapting it to your facility, verifying it with a certified HACCP authority, and complying with the laws in your jurisdiction.
• Nothing we share is a substitute for licensed legal, tax, food-science, or medical advice.
• Food safety laws vary by state, province, and country. You are responsible for complying with them in your location.
• We make no guarantees about your results. How much money you make — or don't — depends on you: your work, your market, your execution. No two jerky businesses are the same.

Before making decisions about your business, license, or food safety, consult qualified professionals in your jurisdiction.

3. Your account and access

Some of our Services (the Skool community, individual courses) require an account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate and current information.
• Keep your login credentials secure. You're responsible for activity on your account.
• Not share your paid access with people who haven't paid for it. Access is for you, not a group of friends.
• Follow any community rules posted inside Skool.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, harass other members, or abuse our platforms.

4. Purchases, refunds, and subscriptions

• Pricing and features are listed at the point of purchase and may change over time.
• Subscriptions (like the Skool community) continue until you cancel. You can cancel in your Skool account settings at any time.
• Refunds: unless stated otherwise at the point of purchase, all sales are final. If you have a serious issue, email [email protected] — I'll look at it personally.
• Chargebacks without contacting us first may result in permanent loss of access and collection of unpaid balances.

5. Intellectual property

The content on this site, in our guides, courses, videos, HACCP templates, downloads, and community posts is owned by Keith Rainville or licensed to us. You may:

• Use what you buy for your own personal business education.
• Adapt templates we provide (like the HACCP plan) for your own operation.

You may not:

• Redistribute, resell, share, post publicly, or upload our paid content.
• Use our content to train AI models or build competing products.
• Use our brand name, logo, or content to imply we endorse you without written permission.

Violation may result in immediate termination and legal action for damages.

6. User content in the community

When you post in the Skool community, on our social channels, or submit something through our contact form, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide license to display, distribute, and reproduce that content for operating the Services. You represent that you have the right to share what you post and that it doesn't violate anyone else's rights.

7. Third-party platforms

We host parts of our Services on third-party platforms (Skool, ClientSystemPro/GoHighLevel, Facebook, YouTube). Your use of those platforms is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We're not responsible for their operation, outages, or policy changes.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES — EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY — INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, FAT YANKEE JERKY AND KEITH RAINVILLE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST BUSINESS, LOST DATA, OR DAMAGES FROM RELIANCE ON THE SERVICES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE SERVICES IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT THAT GAVE RISE TO THE CLAIM.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold Fat Yankee Jerky and Keith Rainville harmless from any claims, losses, or costs (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from your use of the Services, your violation of these terms, or your violation of anyone else's rights — including food safety, business registration, tax, or health claims you make based on the Services.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Hernando County, Florida, and you consent to that jurisdiction.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the latest revision. If changes are material, we'll announce them on the site. Continued use of the Services after changes means you accept the new terms.
