1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website and services of Desra Group, LLC (“Desra Group,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using our website or services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
2. Services
Desra Group is a relationship-driven company serving the U.S. government customer market across federal, state, and local government, connecting organizations with independent providers. Advisory conversations are offered at no cost and do not require purchasing a membership or any partner solution. Independent solution providers are solely responsible for their own services, pricing, contracts, and delivery, and Desra Group does not perform, guarantee, or warrant their work. Any private advisory or other paid engagement is governed only by a separate written agreement.
No guaranteed outcomes. Nothing on this website, in our conversations, or in any program, network, or membership guarantees introductions, referrals, meetings, business opportunities, contracts, awards, revenue, or any other result. Any connection we make is at Desra Group’s sole discretion when we believe a relevant opportunity exists. Desra Group does not represent, act as agent for, or speak on behalf of any member, partner, or other organization, and does not offer or imply influence over any government decision, procurement, or official.
3. Solution Partner Network
Participation in the Solution Partner Network is offered at no cost to qualified organizations that share their capabilities with us. Submitting capabilities does not guarantee acceptance, and we may decline or end participation at our discretion. Participation does not guarantee introductions, referrals, or business opportunities, does not create an agency, employment, partnership, or joint venture relationship, and does not authorize any participant to describe itself as endorsed by or representing Desra Group. We do not publish a public list of network participants.
4. Membership and Payments
What membership is. Desra Group Industry Membership, offered through Emerging, Strategic, Growth, and Enterprise Member tiers, centers on an ongoing professional relationship working personally with Dalton Young, Superconnector, and his understanding of your business, capabilities, and priorities. Tiers are based on employee count, and all members receive the same listed membership benefits, without additional service expectations for larger companies. Included benefits are those stated on our website or in the written onboarding confirmation. Membership does not purchase access to Dalton's contacts, unlimited or on-demand personal time, lead generation, sales or business-development services, guaranteed introductions, or representation, and is not a charitable donation. Group calls, training, education/Q&A sessions, and industry-insight deliverables are not included. Public educational resources and general advisory remain available at no cost without membership. Any specific schedule or scope of personal participation must be confirmed in a written agreement signed by Desra Group.
No guarantees. Membership does not guarantee introductions, referrals, business opportunities, contracts, or individual representation. Relationships and collaboration opportunities may develop naturally, and connections are made at Desra Group’s discretion when relevant opportunities arise. References to event attendance, savings on travel or event costs, or deeper understanding of a member’s capabilities describe how we operate and are not promises of any specific event, audience, savings amount, or result.
Tentative events and attendance. All listed or discussed conferences, expos, meetings, and other events, and Desra Group's attendance or participation plans, are tentative and subject to change without notice. Desra Group does not guarantee that any event will take place, remain scheduled, retain its location or format, or be attended by Desra Group or Dalton Young. An attendance status, including Confirmed or Tentatively Confirmed, describes current plans only and is not a contractual guarantee. Membership is not a purchase of participation in any particular event or number of events.
Event changes and membership continuity. Changes, cancellations, widespread event cancellations, postponements, rescheduling, or reduced event availability, including those associated with pandemics, epidemics, public-health restrictions, market closures, venue closures, government action, travel restrictions, natural disasters, acts of God, or similar disruptions, do not invalidate or terminate a membership, suspend or reduce the current term's payment obligations, or automatically extend the membership term. Such circumstances do not entitle a member to a refund, credit, reduction, or transfer. Memberships and membership payments are non-refundable and memberships are non-transferable, including to another person or organization, to the fullest extent permitted by law. The return of payment when Desra Group declines an application, as stated below, remains the only contractual payment-return exception.
Checkout acceptance and authority. By affirmatively accepting these Terms at Stripe checkout and completing a membership purchase, you agree to these Terms on behalf of the purchasing organization and represent that you have authority to bind it. Your acceptance covers the membership commitment, billing, renewal, cancellation, and refund provisions. The version accepted at checkout governs that purchase; a later written participation agreement signed by Desra Group and the member controls to the extent it expressly conflicts. Completing onboarding later does not postpone the start of the membership term. Checkout acceptance does not grant publicity permission or consent to optional marketing.
Pricing, term, and billing. Prices are stated at the time of purchase. The initial 12-month membership term begins on the payment date, subject to membership approval. Monthly membership requires a 12-month commitment billed in monthly installments; annual membership is prepaid in full for that term. Payments are processed by Stripe, and card details are not stored by Desra Group. You authorize charges for the selected billing option and applicable renewals. A written membership agreement is provided during onboarding.
Renewal. Membership automatically renews for successive 12-month terms using the selected monthly or annual billing option unless you give written notice to info@desragroup.com before the current term ends. No advance cancellation period beyond notice before renewal is required. We will provide any renewal reminders, price-change notices, and cancellation methods required by applicable law. Any renewal price change will be communicated before renewal, with an opportunity to decline renewal; a website price change alone does not change the price of your current commitment. Renewal billing must follow the authorization disclosed and accepted for the payment arrangement; this page alone does not create a new payment authorization.
Approval and acceptance. Membership is by application. If we decline an application after payment has been received, we will return that payment, which is the only circumstance in which a membership payment is returned. Public recognition, including any name, logo, profile, or LinkedIn mention, requires the member’s approval, and the member grants a limited, revocable license to use approved marks for recognition during the term. We may refuse or remove member materials that are misleading, unlawful, or inconsistent with our standards.
Cancellation. A member may give notice at any time in writing to info@desragroup.com. Notice received before the end of the current term stops the next automatic renewal but does not reduce or end the current term's payment obligations, except where required by law. The full current 12-month commitment remains due, and authorized monthly installments continue until that commitment is paid in full. We will acknowledge the notice in writing. Cancellation ends future recognition at the end of the paid term. Any additional cancellation rights or methods required by law remain available.
Failed payments and suspension. Members must maintain accurate billing information and an authorized payment method. If a payment fails, we may retry the authorized charge, notify the member, and request an updated payment method. We may suspend participation and recognition while payment remains overdue. Suspension does not waive amounts due under the current commitment, extend its term, or create a refund right, except as required by law. We may pursue lawful recovery of unpaid amounts; no additional late fee is imposed by this paragraph.
Spotlight and directory scheduling. Membership includes one featured video interview and accompanying article per membership year, with scheduling coordinated with the member. Members must provide an available representative, accurate company information, materials they have the right to share, and timely written approvals needed for publication. No particular publication date, audience size, placement, or business result is guaranteed. Delays caused by missing member materials, availability, or approval may delay delivery; any carryover must be agreed in writing. The featured member directory is planned for 2027, not promised by a specific launch date, and directory profiles cannot appear before it launches. If launch is delayed, we will notify affected members and confirm a reasonable alternative recognition arrangement in writing rather than treating the directory benefit as already delivered. All public recognition remains subject to explicit member approval; membership does not imply government endorsement, certification, or affiliation.
No refunds. Because membership carries no promise of introductions, referrals, opportunities, contracts, or any other result, no refund, credit, or reduction is owed for any reason, including a lack of results, the member’s dissatisfaction, change of plans, business closure, acquisition, or loss of funding, and including events affecting Desra Group, such as illness, disability, or death of any person including Dalton Young, cancelled or missed events, travel disruption, or reduced or suspended activity. This applies to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Force majeure and limitation of liability. Desra Group is not liable for any delay, reduction, or failure to perform caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, government action, illness, incapacity, or death. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Desra Group and its owners and personnel are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, lost profits, or lost opportunities relating to a membership, and aggregate liability shall not exceed the amounts actually paid for the current term.
Written terms only. No promise, statement, or understanding about membership, whether made in conversation, at an event, by email, or on social media, is binding unless it is stated in these Terms or in a written agreement signed by Desra Group. Members will be asked to sign a participation agreement during onboarding; if it conflicts with these Terms, the signed agreement controls.

13. The Dalton Society and Sponsor-Specific Terms
The Dalton Society is a mentorship and leadership-development program founded by Dalton Young and currently being established as an independent nonprofit organization. Until that transition is complete, program operations are administered with support from Desra Group, LLC, a Founding Corporate Partner. Application to and participation in The Dalton Society, and any corporate or community partnership or contribution, are governed by the Dalton Society Program Terms and Parent/Guardian Consent, the Dalton Society Partner and Sponsor Terms, and any program-specific forms presented at the time of application or partnership, each set out below. To the extent of a conflict, those program-specific terms control over these general Terms. Federal tax-exempt status has not yet been granted, and no payment or contribution should be represented as a tax-deductible charitable donation.
14. Dalton Society Program Terms and Parent/Guardian Consent
Program scope and no promised outcome. The Dalton Society is a private mentorship and leadership-development experience. It may include small-cohort conversations, CEO-led forums, guest-leader discussions, professional exposure, parent communication, and other activities selected by Desra Group. The Society is not child care, therapy, crisis counseling, medical or mental-health treatment, tutoring, test preparation, college-admissions consulting, military recruitment, employment or internship placement, security-clearance support, or a guarantee of any academic, college, scholarship, employment, career, financial, or personal outcome.
Parent/guardian authority and application. By submitting an application for a participant under the age of 18, the applicant represents and warrants that they are the participant’s parent or legal guardian and have legal authority to enter these terms, provide the information submitted, and consent to the participant’s involvement. The applicant must promptly notify us if that authority changes or if submitted information becomes materially inaccurate.
Selective admission; tuition-free participation. Admission is selective. Four cohorts are selected each year, with one cohort active at a time, and each cohort is limited to approximately 20 Fellows for a 12-week program. Submitting an application does not guarantee admission. Participation is tuition-free for accepted Fellows and is made possible by corporate and community partners; we do not charge participants or families a membership fee, tuition, or installment payments. Placement is not transferable, and we may require onboarding information and a parent/student introductory conversation before assigning a cohort start date.
Program changes, suspension, and removal. Desra Group may reasonably change program format, dates, guest leaders, locations, or delivery methods to protect participants, comply with law, respond to safety concerns, or improve delivery. Desra Group may suspend or end a participant’s involvement for material breach of these terms, false information, harassment, discrimination, threats, unsafe or unlawful conduct, conduct that materially disrupts the program, or a safety concern. A suspension or removal does not create a right to a refund except where required by law or expressly agreed in writing.
Parent and participant conduct. Participants and parents/guardians must treat other participants, families, staff, guest leaders, and partners with respect. Harassment, bullying, discrimination, threats, intimidation, sexually inappropriate conduct, violence, unlawful activity, sharing another person’s private information, recording others without authorization, and disruption of program activities are prohibited. Parents and guardians should communicate any material safety, accessibility, or participation issue that requires reasonable planning, and should not provide unnecessary medical or other sensitive information through ordinary website forms.
Safety, emergency, and reporting limits. The Society is not an emergency, medical, mental-health, or crisis service. In an emergency, call 911 or contact the appropriate emergency or crisis service. Desra Group may contact a parent/guardian, emergency contact, emergency services, law enforcement, or another appropriate authority when it reasonably believes doing so is necessary to address an immediate safety concern or comply with law. Communications cannot be promised to remain confidential when disclosure is reasonably necessary to address safety concerns, comply with legal duties, or respond to legal process. Florida law may require immediate reporting of known or reasonably suspected child abuse, abandonment, neglect, or sexual abuse.
In-person activities, transportation, and travel. Unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing, parents/guardians remain responsible for participant transportation, supervision outside scheduled program activities, travel, lodging, meals, and any costs not expressly included in the program description. Any in-person event, off-site activity, transportation arrangement, or closing and recognition event may require a separate activity acknowledgement, emergency-contact form, and, where appropriate, a separate release.
Guest leaders, partners, and professional exposure. Guest leaders and community partners may share general professional perspectives and may host or contribute to experiences selected by Desra Group. Their participation does not create an employment, internship, recruitment, mentoring, fiduciary, or other professional relationship with a participant. The Society does not promise participant access to any particular guest leader, employer, partner, position, credential, clearance, contract, internship, or opportunity.
Intellectual property, recordings, and publicity. Desra Group owns or licenses the Society’s curriculum, name, logo, materials, recordings, and other content. Parents and participants may use materials solely for personal participation and may not reproduce, publish, sell, or distribute them without permission. Participants and parents may not record Society sessions, conversations, or other participants without Desra Group’s prior written permission and all required consents. Permission to use a participant’s name, likeness, voice, photograph, video, quote, or work for marketing is handled through a separate, optional media release, not through enrollment.
Privacy and communications. We process parent and participant information as described in our Privacy Policy, including its Dalton Society section. Parents/guardians may receive operational communications about applications, safety, scheduling, and program participation. Marketing emails and text messages require a separate, non-prechecked opt-in and include an unsubscribe or STOP mechanism.
Limitation of liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Desra Group and its owners, employees, contractors, guest leaders, and partners are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to the Society. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
15. Dalton Society Partner and Sponsor Terms
Not a charitable donation at this time. The Dalton Society is currently being established as an independent nonprofit organization, and federal tax-exempt status has not yet been granted. Partnership and sponsorship support is a commercial sponsorship and recognition relationship, is not a charitable donation, and must not be represented or claimed as a tax-deductible charitable contribution. Sponsors should consult their own tax advisers.
Term and recognition. The annual partnership amount is the amount confirmed in writing. The term begins on the date support is received and continues for 12 months unless a written confirmation states otherwise. Included recognition is limited to the items specifically stated in that written confirmation, and we may adjust the format, timing, placement, or channel of recognition in a commercially reasonable manner provided the overall benefit remains materially consistent.
Recognition and use of sponsor marks. The sponsor grants us a limited, nonexclusive, revocable license during the term to use the sponsor’s approved name, logo, and brand assets solely to identify the sponsor in Society communications, the Society website, selected LinkedIn communications, and the closing and recognition events in Orlando. The sponsor represents that it has the rights necessary to grant this permission. We may refuse or remove sponsor materials that are misleading, unlawful, offensive, unsafe, or inconsistent with the Society’s standards.
No endorsement, exclusivity, or guaranteed results. A sponsor may accurately state that it is an annual partner of The Dalton Society during the term, subject to our brand-use guidelines. Partnership does not create an endorsement by The Dalton Society, Desra Group, parents, participants, guest leaders, community partners, or any university, government entity, or other third party, and does not include category exclusivity, guaranteed impressions, leads, sales, recruitment opportunities, media coverage, or return on investment unless a written agreement expressly says otherwise.
No access to participant or family data; no recruiting rights. Sponsors do not receive student, participant, parent, guardian, applicant, or family personal information; participant applications; attendance records; contact lists; recordings; or access to private Society communications. Partnership confers no right to recruit, market to, contact, profile, surveil, interview, employ, or otherwise engage participants. Any guest-leader or experience-host role must be separately approved and does not change these restrictions.
Use of support. Partner support funds mentorship delivery, program operations, guest-leader and experience costs, materials, and the closing and recognition events so that accepted Fellows may participate without tuition. Support does not purchase admission, influence over admissions decisions, or any placement for a specific student.
Sponsor conduct and compliance. Sponsors must comply with applicable law and may not use the Society or partnership to make deceptive claims, imply governmental, university, or participant endorsement, solicit personal information from participants, or engage in conduct that undermines participant safety or the Society’s standards. We may suspend recognition or terminate the partnership for material breach, unlawful conduct, reputational risk, or a safety concern.
Cancellation and liability. Partnership amounts are nonrefundable after payment except where required by law or where we terminate the partnership without cause before providing any material recognition benefit. To the fullest extent permitted by law, aggregate liability relating to a partnership shall not exceed the amount actually paid for the applicable term, and we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, lost profits, lost opportunities, or reputational harm.
16. Acceptance at Application and Partnership
Before submitting a Dalton Society application, the parent or legal guardian must affirmatively accept the following:
- I certify that I am the parent or legal guardian of the participant and have authority to apply on their behalf to The Dalton Society.
- I have read and agree to the Dalton Society Program Terms and Parent/Guardian Consent and the Privacy Policy.
- I understand that The Dalton Society is a mentorship and leadership-development experience, not therapy, tutoring, crisis counseling, college-admissions consulting, military recruitment, job placement, or a guarantee of academic, college, employment, scholarship, or career outcomes.
- I understand that admission is selective, that each cohort is limited to approximately 20 Fellows and runs for 12 weeks, that submitting an application does not guarantee admission, and that participation is tuition-free for accepted Fellows.
- I agree to provide accurate application information and to complete required onboarding if admitted.
- Partners and sponsors: I certify that I am authorized to bind the organization, agree to the Partner and Sponsor Terms and Privacy Policy, understand that The Dalton Society is not yet a recognized 501(c)(3) and that support is not a tax-deductible charitable donation, authorize limited use of our approved name and logo for recognition, and understand that partnership provides no access to participant or family personal information, recruiting rights, exclusivity, guaranteed impressions, or guaranteed business results.
- Marketing email, text-message, and participant publicity permissions are separate, optional, and never pre-selected. Photo, video, and likeness use for minors requires a separate written media release, which may be withdrawn for future use at any time.
17. Governing Law
These Terms, including the Dalton Society Program Terms and Sponsor Terms, are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the website shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Orange County, Florida, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
18. Changes to These Terms
We may modify these Terms at any time by posting the revised version on this page. Your continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. For program and membership purchases, the version accepted at checkout governs that purchase.
