Terms of Service & Legal Disclaimers
Effective date: August 3, 2026
1. Overview and acceptance of terms
Welcome to our website. By accessing or using this website, submitting an inquiry, or requesting a quote review or assessment, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our site or services.
2. Nature of advisory services and scope boundaries
Information provided on this website — including preliminary consultations, checkups, and quote reviews — is for informational and advisory purposes only.
- No legal advice. Our reviews, reports, and advisories do not constitute legal advice. Clients requiring legal representation or formal statutory interpretations should consult a licensed attorney.
- No certification guarantees. While we assist clients with framework alignment (for example, NIST CSF 2.0, the HIPAA Security Rule, the FTC Safeguards Rule, or CMMC), our advisory reviews do not constitute official government certification or statutory audit guarantees unless explicitly contracted through an authorized third-party assessment body.
- Written authorization required. Technical testing, vulnerability scanning, or system reviews will only occur after execution of a formal Statement of Work (SOW) and signed written authorization. Unauthorized active scanning or probing is strictly prohibited.
3. Quote review and comparative advertising disclaimer
Our quote review / second opinion service provides objective, plain-English evaluations of third-party vendor proposals provided voluntarily by prospective clients.
- Reviews are based strictly on documented scope, technical licensing assumptions, and fair-market comparisons.
- We do not make misleading, deceptive, or defamatory claims regarding third-party vendors, consistent with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) standards.
- We reserve the right to advise prospective clients to remain with their current vendor if the existing proposal is well-scoped, cost-effective, and technically sound.
4. Professional licensing and investigative boundaries
We provide digital evidence preservation guidance, incident triage, and technical risk advisory. Unless explicitly authorized and licensed under applicable state regulations (such as Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1702), our services do not constitute regulated private investigative services, physical surveillance, or personal background investigations.
5. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our firm, its founders, and employees shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from site usage, unpatched legacy system vulnerabilities excluded from active contracts, or third-party breaches. Total liability under any executed agreement is capped at the total service fees paid by the client in the preceding 12 months.
6. Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas. Any disputes arising under these terms shall be subject to the jurisdiction of state or federal courts located in Texas.
