1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome. These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of ForeverLandlord.com, our email newsletter, and any related content or services we offer (collectively, the "Services"). The Services are operated by Gonzalo Consulting LLC, doing business as Forever Landlord ("we," "us," "our," "Forever Landlord").

By visiting the Services, subscribing to the newsletter, submitting the contact form, or otherwise interacting with the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

These Terms form a binding agreement between you and Gonzalo Consulting LLC. Please read them carefully.

2. Who We Are and What the Services Are

Forever Landlord is a personal media brand operated by Rene Gonzalez — a working landlord with five rental properties who writes, speaks, and podcasts about what's actually happening in the landlord's chair.

The Services consist of:

• Publicly available content on ForeverLandlord.com (articles, podcast episodes, videos, reviews, site pages)
• A free email newsletter
• A free contact form (hosted by Tally)
• Links and recommendations that may include affiliate relationships (see Section 9)
• An invitation to our separate community on Skool (which is governed by Skool's own terms and privacy policy, not these Terms)

The Services are NOT:

• A brokerage, property-management firm, law firm, accounting firm, tax firm, financial advisory, investment advisory, or real estate advisory
• A marketplace, escrow, payment processor, or e-commerce platform (we do not sell anything directly on ForeverLandlord.com)
• A membership site, course platform, or subscription product
• A personal communication channel between you and Rene outside what's explicitly offered through the contact form and newsletter

3. Eligibility (18+)

The Services are intended for adults aged 18 and older. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old. If you are under 18, do not subscribe to our newsletter, submit the contact form, or provide any personal information.

We do not knowingly collect information from or provide Services to anyone under 18. If we learn that we have received information from someone under 18, we will delete it.

4. No Accounts on This Site

ForeverLandlord.com does not offer user accounts, logins, or passwords. You are not required to register to use the Services. If a product or feature in the future requires registration, any additional terms applicable to that feature will be disclosed at that time and will supplement, not replace, these Terms.

5. Intellectual Property and Ownership

Except for third-party content and trademarks, all content on the Services — including text, articles, graphics, logos, photographs, audio, video, code, designs, and the overall "look and feel" — is the property of Gonzalo Consulting LLC or its licensors and is protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws.

8. Third-Party Platforms and Links

The Services interact with, link to, or rely on several third-party platforms, including (but not limited to) Skool, Tally, ProveWorth, Meta (Facebook/Instagram), X (Twitter), Google, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.

We do not control these platforms. When you leave ForeverLandlord.com or interact with a third-party platform (including our Skool community), you are subject to that platform's own terms, privacy policy, and practices. We are not responsible for the content, availability, accuracy, security, or practices of third-party platforms.

Links to third-party sites are provided for your convenience and do not constitute an endorsement unless explicitly stated.

9. Affiliate Relationships and FTC Disclosure

Some links on the Services are affiliate links. If you click one and sign up, subscribe, or make a purchase on the linked platform, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Our primary affiliate relationship: Skool. Our community link (skool.com/skoolers/about?ref=…) is an affiliate link. If you join Skool through our referral and later pay for a premium group or feature, we may receive a commission from Skool.

Our commitment: we only recommend products and platforms we personally use or would use. Our affiliate participation does not influence what we write, recommend, or disclose.

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255) and supplements disclosures that may appear on individual pages of the Services.

10. No Professional Advice

Nothing on ForeverLandlord.com, in the newsletter, on the podcast, or in any other Service should be interpreted as:

• Legal advice
• Tax advice
• Accounting advice
• Financial, investment, securities, or insurance advice
• Real estate brokerage, mortgage, or lending advice
• Property management advice specific to your situation
• Medical, psychological, or any other professional advice

Before acting on anything you read, see, or hear on the Services, consult a qualified, licensed professional in your jurisdiction who can evaluate your specific circumstances. Laws and regulations — especially landlord/tenant laws, tax laws, and securities laws — vary significantly by state and change over time. What worked for Rene in Florida may not be appropriate for you.

Your reliance on any information on the Services is solely at your own risk.

11. Earnings and Results Disclaimer

References to income, rental income, returns, profits, cash flow, net worth, or other financial results — whether Rene's own or any testimonial — describe specific individual experiences and are not guarantees, warranties, projections, or predictions of what you or anyone else can or will earn.

Real estate investing and landlord operations involve substantial risk, including the risk of partial or total loss. Your results will depend on many factors that are unique to you, including your market, capital, effort, skill, experience, and a significant element of luck.

Full details are in our Earnings Disclaimer, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

12. Privacy

Our collection, use, and disclosure of personal information are described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Services, you consent to that Privacy Policy.

13. Newsletter and Electronic Communications Consent

When you subscribe to our newsletter, submit the contact form, or otherwise provide your email address, you consent to receive electronic communications from us — including newsletter issues, responses to your inquiries, and occasional transactional messages relating to the Services.

You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any email. Unsubscribing from marketing messages does not withdraw your consent to receive transactional communications necessary to respond to a request you have made.

Our email practices comply with the CAN-SPAM Act and applicable law. We do not currently send SMS or text messages.

14. DMCA and Copyright Infringement

We respect intellectual-property rights and respond to properly formed takedown notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

Our Designated Agent:

Notices must meet the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), including a physical or electronic signature, identification of the copyrighted work, identification of the allegedly infringing material with sufficient specificity for us to locate it, your contact information, a good-faith statement, and a statement under penalty of perjury.

We may terminate access for repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

15. Trademarks

"Forever Landlord," "ForeverLandlord.com," the Forever Landlord logo, and related marks are trademarks or service marks of Gonzalo Consulting LLC. Other names, logos, and brands mentioned on the Services are the property of their respective owners. Nothing on the Services grants you any license or right to use any trademark without the owner's prior written permission.

16. Disclaimers of Warranties

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Gonzalo Consulting LLC, its affiliates, and its licensors disclaim all warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, title, accuracy, and any warranty arising from course of dealing, usage, or trade practice.

We do not warrant that:

• The Services will meet your requirements
• The Services will be uninterrupted, secure, timely, or error-free
• Defects will be corrected
• The Services are free of viruses or other harmful components
• Any content or information on the Services is accurate, current, or complete

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; to that extent, some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

17. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Gonzalo Consulting LLC, its owner, its affiliates, or its licensors be liable for:

• Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages
• Lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost goodwill, or business interruption
• Damages arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the Services
• Damages arising from any content, advice, information, or recommendation on the Services
• Damages arising from the conduct of any third party or third-party platform

Aggregate liability cap. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total aggregate liability of Gonzalo Consulting LLC for any claim arising out of or related to the Services or these Terms is limited to one hundred U.S. dollars ($100.00).

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise), even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages, and even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.

Carve-outs: nothing in this section limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for our own fraud, willful misconduct, or any claim that cannot be waived under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA) or similar consumer-protection statutes.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of liability for certain damages; to that extent, some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

18. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Gonzalo Consulting LLC, its owner, affiliates, and licensors from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your use or misuse of the Services
• Your violation of these Terms
• Your violation of applicable law
• Your violation of the rights of any third party
• Any content you submit to us (including through the contact form or newsletter replies)

We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense of that matter.

19. Dispute Resolution — Informal Resolution First

Before filing any claim, mediation, or arbitration, the parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally and in good faith for at least 30 days.

Either party must first send a written notice of dispute to the other describing the nature and basis of the claim and the specific relief sought. Notice to us must be sent to help@foreverlandlord.com with "Notice of Dispute" in the subject line. We will send notice to you at the most recent email address we have on file for you.

If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days after receipt of the notice, either party may proceed to mediation under Section 20.

20. Dispute Resolution — Mediation

If informal resolution under Section 19 does not resolve the dispute, the parties agree to participate in good-faith mediation before proceeding to arbitration under Section 21 or any court action permitted by Section 24.

Mediator selection. Each party shall select two (2) proposed mediators. The parties shall then agree on one mediator from the combined list of four (4). If the parties cannot agree on a mediator within 30 days, the mediator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association.

Mediation shall be conducted at a location mutually agreed by the parties, by video conference, or by telephone. Each party shall bear its own costs of mediation. Mediation fees and mediator compensation shall be split equally.

If mediation does not resolve the dispute within 60 days of the mediator's appointment, either party may proceed to binding arbitration under Section 21 (or, where applicable, court under Section 24).

21. Binding Arbitration (AAA Consumer Rules)

Except for claims covered by Section 24 (IP / Small Claims / Injunctive Relief) and claims as to which you have timely opted out under Section 23, any dispute that is not resolved under Sections 19 or 20 shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis.

Administrator and Rules. Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules and its Consumer Due Process Protocol, each as in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org.

Seat. The arbitration shall be seated in Orange County, Florida. At your election, hearings may be conducted by telephone, video conference, or documents-only.

Arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator selected under the AAA Consumer Rules.

Authority. The arbitrator has the authority to grant any remedy available in court, subject to the limits of these Terms (including Sections 17 and 22). The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Federal Arbitration Act. The parties agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.

Confidentiality. The existence and content of any arbitration shall be kept confidential by the parties and the arbitrator, except to the extent disclosure is required by law, necessary to confirm or enforce an award, or necessary to protect a legal right.

22. Class Action Waiver

You and we each agree that any dispute shall be resolved only on an individual basis and not as part of any class, collective, consolidated, or representative action.

The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding, and may not award relief to or against anyone who is not a party to the individual arbitration.

If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or remedy, then that claim or remedy (and only that claim or remedy) shall be severed from arbitration and brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Sections 25–26; the remainder of Sections 19–26 shall remain in full force.

23. 30-Day Arbitration Opt-Out Right

To opt out, you must send us a written notice within 30 days of the date you first accept these Terms (or within 30 days of the date any material change to Sections 21 or 22 takes effect). The notice must include:

• Your full name
• The email address associated with your use of the Services
• A clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration under Section 21

Send the notice to help@foreverlandlord.com with "Arbitration Opt-Out" in the subject line.

An opt-out does not affect Sections 19 (Informal Resolution) or 20 (Mediation), and it does not change the venue, governing-law, or jury-waiver provisions in Sections 25 and 26.

24. Exceptions to Arbitration

Notwithstanding Section 21, the following categories of dispute are not subject to mandatory arbitration and may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 25:

• Intellectual-property claims — any claim arising from the alleged infringement, misappropriation, or dilution of a party's intellectual-property rights, including DMCA takedowns under Section 14
• Small-claims court — any claim that qualifies for filing in small-claims court, at either party's election
• Injunctive or equitable relief — any claim seeking temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive relief to prevent or stop actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or irreparable harm

25. Governing Law and Venue for Non-Arbitrable Disputes

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, U.S.A., without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

For any dispute that is not subject to arbitration under Section 21 (including claims under Section 24), the exclusive jurisdiction and venue shall be the Circuit Court in and for Orange County, Florida or the County Court in and for Orange County, Florida, as appropriate, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. You waive any objection based on forum non conveniens.

Nothing in this section overrides the mandatory rights of EU, UK, or EEA residents under applicable law.

26. Jury Trial Waiver

To minimize legal expenses and to the extent allowed by law, you and Gonzalo Consulting LLC each knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally waive the right to a trial by jury in any lawsuit based on statute, common law, or any other theory and related to the Services or these Terms.

This waiver applies to any dispute that is not resolved in arbitration under Section 21, including disputes falling under Section 24.

27. Force Majeure

We shall be excused from performance of our obligations under these Terms if we are prevented from fulfilling such obligations by an act of God, natural disaster, fire, flood, pandemic or epidemic, strike, labor dispute, war, act of terrorism, riot, civil unrest, governmental order, power outage, internet or telecommunications failure, service-provider outage, cyberattack, or any other occurrence beyond our reasonable control.

28. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Services ends immediately.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 5 (Intellectual Property), 7 (Testimonials), 10 (No Professional Advice), 11 (Earnings), 14 (DMCA), 15 (Trademarks), 16 (Warranties), 17 (Limitation of Liability), 18 (Indemnification), 19–26 (Dispute Resolution / Governing Law / Jury Waiver), 27 (Force Majeure), and 29 (Miscellaneous) — shall survive termination.

29. Miscellaneous

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Earnings Disclaimer (each incorporated by reference), constitute the entire agreement between you and Gonzalo Consulting LLC regarding the Services and supersede any prior agreement or understanding.

Modifications

We may modify these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Effective Date" and "Last Updated" dates at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated by a notice on the Services or, where appropriate, by email. Your continued use of the Services after the revised Terms take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, stop using the Services.

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.

No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or of any other provision.

Headings

Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.

Notices

Notices to us must be sent to help@foreverlandlord.com and, where specified, also by postal mail to Gonzalo Consulting LLC, 7901 4th St N, Ste 300, St. Petersburg, FL 33702. Notices to you may be sent to the email address we have on file or by posting to the Services.
