Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: May 11, 2026

Welcome to The Cowart Group (“we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website, your communications with us, and any services we provide. By accessing our website, contacting us, or engaging our services, you (“you” or “your”) agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of our website and services.

1. About Our Services

The Cowart Group is an executive benefits consulting firm based in Mobile, Alabama. We assist employers and their key employees with the design, placement, and administration of executive benefit programs, deferred compensation plans, life and disability insurance, and related strategies. Specific services are governed by separate written engagement agreements between us and our clients. These Terms do not, by themselves, create a client relationship or an obligation to provide services.

2. Eligibility

Our website and services are intended for individuals who are at least 18 years of age and who have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements. By using our website or services, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.

3. Informational Use Only

The content provided on our website and in general communications is for informational purposes only. It is not intended as, and should not be relied upon as, legal, tax, accounting, investment, or insurance advice. Information regarding insurance products, plan design, and benefits is general in nature and may not reflect the specific terms, conditions, exclusions, or limitations that apply to any particular policy or program. You should consult with qualified legal, tax, and financial professionals before making any decisions based on information from our website or general communications.

4. No Offer to Sell Insurance

Nothing on our website or in our general communications constitutes an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any insurance product or security. Insurance products are offered and sold only by appropriately licensed individuals through the issuing carriers, and only in jurisdictions where the products and the licensed individuals are properly authorized. The Cowart Group and its representatives conduct insurance activities only in states where they hold the required licenses and appointments.

5. Engagement and Fees

Specific services, deliverables, fees, and payment terms are set forth in a separate written engagement agreement or proposal. In the absence of such an agreement, no professional services relationship exists, and we have no obligation to perform work, render advice, or provide deliverables. Any preliminary discussions, presentations, or informational meetings are conducted without charge and without obligation unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing.

6. Client Responsibilities

When you engage us, you agree to:

  • Provide complete, accurate, and timely information necessary for us to perform the services;
  • Promptly notify us of any material changes to information previously provided;
  • Make your own decisions regarding the benefit programs, insurance products, and strategies we recommend, after consultation with your own legal, tax, and financial advisors as appropriate;
  • Pay invoiced amounts when due under any engagement agreement;
  • Cooperate reasonably with us, insurance carriers, and other service providers in connection with applications, underwriting, claims, and ongoing administration.

You acknowledge that the success of any benefit program depends in part on the accuracy of information provided and on factors outside our control, including carrier underwriting decisions, market conditions, and changes in law or regulation.

7. Intellectual Property

All content on our website and in materials we prepare — including text, graphics, logos, illustrations, plan designs, proposals, and presentations — is the property of The Cowart Group or its licensors and is protected by U.S. and international intellectual property laws.

17. Severability and Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of that provision or of any other provision.
