Welcome to the Cosgrove & Co. website. This site is operated by Cosgrove & Co. Strategy Consulting Ltd. ("we", "us", "our"). By using it, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the site. We update these terms from time to time, and the version posted here is the one that applies. 

​

What this site is. 

This is an information site about our governance and strategy work — our approach, the ways we help boards, our team, and examples of our work. You can read about what we do, and you can also reach out to us directly — for example, through our contact form or chat — to start a conversation. Nothing is sold or paid for on this site. 

​

This is information, not advice. 

Everything on this site is general information about governance and strategy. It is not legal, financial, governance, or other professional advice for your organization, and reading it doesn't create an advisory or consulting relationship with us. We work with clients only under a written agreement. Please don't act on anything you read here without advice suited to your own situation. 

​

About the examples of our work. 

Governance work is confidential by nature, and often sensitive. The case studies and project descriptions on this site are anonymized and shared to show how we work — no confidential client information is ever disclosed. Each description reflects one specific engagement; it isn't a promise that your organization would see the same results, and any reference to a sector or client type doesn't imply their endorsement of us. 

​

Intellectual property. 

The content of this site — the text, graphics, layout, and the frameworks we describe, including our approach to good governance — belongs to us and is protected by law. You're welcome to view and print pages for your own personal, non-commercial use. Please don't copy, republish, or reuse our content for other purposes without our written permission. 

​

Trademarks. 

Board Leapfrog® is a registered trademark of Cosgrove & Co. Strategy Consulting Ltd., and Board HealthScore™ is our trademark. Please don't use them without our written permission. 

​

Using this site responsibly. 

Please use the site only for its intended purpose. Don't try to gain unauthorized access to it, interfere with how it works, or submit anything unlawful or harmful through it. You also may not scrape or data-mine the site, or use its content to train artificial intelligence or machine-learning systems, without our permission. 

​

Getting in touch with us. 

You can contact us through this site — for example, using our contact form or chat feature. When you do, please don't include confidential or sensitive information in your message. Anything you send us this way isn't treated as confidential, and by sending it you agree that we may use it to respond to you and follow up. You're responsible for the information you provide, and you shouldn't submit someone else's personal information without their permission. How we handle what you send us is explained in our Privacy Policy. (Confidentiality comes with an actual engagement, under our written agreement — not through the website.) 

​

Other sites we link to. 

This site may link to other resources, including our Board Leapfrog® site and, where we use it, the survey tool behind Board HealthScore™. We don't control those services and aren't responsible for them — their own terms and privacy practices apply when you use them. 

​

Your privacy. 

How we handle any information you share with us through this site is explained in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms. 

​

Provided as is. 

We work hard to keep this site accurate and available, but we offer it "as is." We can't promise it will always be error-free or uninterrupted, and you use it at your own discretion. 

​

Our responsibility. 

To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this website or reliance on its content. Nothing here limits any rights you have that can't be limited by law. 

​

Accessibility. 

We want this site to be usable by everyone. If you have trouble accessing anything on it, please contact us and we'll do our best to help. 

​

Changes. 

We may update this site or these terms at any time. Continuing to use the site after we make changes means you accept the updated terms. 

​

Governing law. 

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, and the courts of Nova Scotia will have jurisdiction over any dispute.
