Use of Applications and Services

General Use

The Company provides certain Applications and Services, including digital assessment tools and related analytical services, that may be accessed through the Website, via direct URL, or through third-party platforms. Some Applications and Services may be offered free of charge, while others require payment. Your use of any Application or Service is subject to these Terms and any additional terms presented at the time of access or purchase.

User Inputs and Accuracy

Certain Applications and Services require You to provide User Inputs, including organizational data, operational information, and responses to assessment questions. You represent and warrant that all User Inputs You provide are accurate, complete, and current to the best of Your knowledge. You acknowledge that the quality and accuracy of any Assessment Outputs are directly dependent on the quality and accuracy of Your User Inputs. The Company shall have no liability for Assessment Outputs that are inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading as a result of inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading User Inputs.

Assessment Outputs — Informational Purposes Only

Assessment Outputs are provided for general informational and educational purposes only. Assessment Outputs do not constitute professional cybersecurity advice, legal advice, compliance certification, regulatory guidance, audit findings, or any form of professional opinion or recommendation. The Company is not a law firm, a certified public accounting firm, or a licensed cybersecurity consultancy, and the provision of Assessment Outputs does not create a professional advisory, fiduciary, or consulting relationship between You and the Company.

You acknowledge and agree that You should not rely solely on Assessment Outputs when making business, security, compliance, or operational decisions. You are solely responsible for independently verifying Assessment Outputs and for engaging qualified professionals, including cybersecurity consultants, legal counsel, and compliance specialists, before acting on any information provided through the Applications or Services.

Data Handling

User Inputs submitted through the Applications may be stored, processed, and analyzed by the Company for the purpose of generating Assessment Outputs and improving the Applications and Services. The Company will handle User Inputs in accordance with its Privacy Policy. You acknowledge that while the Company employs commercially reasonable measures to protect User Inputs, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. The Company shall not be liable for unauthorized access to or disclosure of User Inputs except to the extent caused by the Company’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Payment Terms

Certain Applications and Services require payment prior to access. Payments are processed through third-party payment processors, including Stripe. By making a payment, You agree to the terms and conditions of the applicable payment processor in addition to these Terms.

All fees are stated at the time of purchase and are non-refundable except as expressly stated in writing by the Company or as required by applicable law. The Company reserves the right to modify pricing at any time, provided that any price changes will not affect transactions already completed.

Payment for an Application or Service grants You access to the specific deliverable described at the time of purchase. Payment does not create an ongoing consulting, advisory, or professional services relationship between You and the Company unless separately agreed to in writing.

Links to Other Websites

Our Website, Applications, or Services may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by the Company.

The Company has no control over and assumes no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services. You further acknowledge and agree that the Company shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any such content, goods, or services available on or through any such websites or services.

We strongly advise You to read the terms and conditions and privacy policies of any third-party websites or services that You visit.

Limitation of Liability

Notwithstanding any damages that You might incur, the entire liability of the Company under any provision of these Terms and Conditions and Your exclusive remedy for all of the foregoing shall be limited to the amount actually paid by You to the Company for the specific Application or Service giving rise to the claim during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the liability, or one hundred U.S. dollars (USD $100) if You have not made any payments to the Company.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Company or its suppliers be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever (including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, loss of data or other information, for business interruption, for personal injury, loss of privacy arising out of or in any way related to the use of or inability to use the Website, Applications, Services, Assessment Outputs, third-party software and/or third-party hardware used with the Website, Applications, or Services, or otherwise in connection with any provision of these Terms), even if the Company or any supplier has been advised of the possibility of such damages and even if the remedy fails of its essential purpose.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable for any decisions made or actions taken by You or any third party in reliance on Assessment Outputs, nor for any failure to detect, identify, or mitigate any security vulnerability, risk, or threat, regardless of whether such vulnerability, risk, or threat was within the scope of any assessment performed through the Applications or Services.

Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply. In these states, each party’s liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

“AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” Disclaimer

The Website, Applications, Services, and Assessment Outputs are provided to You “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” and with all faults and defects without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, the Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates and its and their respective licensors and service providers, expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, concerning the Website, Applications, Services, and Assessment Outputs, including all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement, and warranties that may arise out of a course of dealing, course of performance, usage or trade practice.

Without limitation to the foregoing, the Company provides no warranty or undertaking, and makes no representation of any kind that the Website, Applications, or Services will meet Your requirements, achieve any intended results, be compatible or work with any other software, applications, systems, or services, operate without interruption, meet any performance or reliability standards, or be error-free, or that any errors or defects can or will be corrected.

Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Company nor any of the Company’s providers makes any representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied: (i) as to the operation or availability of the Website, Applications, or Services, or the information, content, and materials or products included thereon; (ii) that the Website, Applications, or Services will be uninterrupted or error-free; (iii) as to the accuracy, reliability, or currency of any information, content, or Assessment Outputs provided through the Website, Applications, or Services; or (iv) that the Website, Applications, or Services, their servers, the content, or e-mails sent from or on behalf of the Company are free of viruses, scripts, trojan horses, worms, malware, timebombs, or other harmful components.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain types of warranties or limitations on applicable statutory rights of a consumer, so some or all of the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to You. But in such a case, the exclusions and limitations outlined in this section shall be applied to the greatest extent enforceable under applicable law.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and service providers from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) Your use of the Website, Applications, or Services; (b) Your User Inputs; (c) any decisions made or actions taken by You or any third party based on Assessment Outputs; (d) Your violation of these Terms and Conditions; or (e) Your violation of any rights of a third party.

Governing Law

The laws of the United States, excluding its conflicts of law rules, shall govern these Terms and Conditions and Your use of the Website, Applications, and Services. Specifically, the laws of the State of Texas.

Disputes Resolution

Binding Arbitration

If You and the Company are unable to resolve a dispute (“Dispute”) through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website: www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either You or the Company. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Texas. Except as otherwise provided herein, You or the Company may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

If, for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Texas, and the parties hereby consent to and waive all defenses to lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non-conveniens concerning venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms and Conditions.

In no event shall a Dispute brought by either You or the Company related in any way to the Website, Applications, or Services be commenced more than two (2) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither You nor the Company will elect to arbitrate any dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable, and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and You and the Company agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

Restrictions

You and the Company agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between You and the Company individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

Exceptions to Arbitration

The Parties agree that the following disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of You or the Company; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither You nor the Company will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable, and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and You and the Company agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

United States Legal Compliance

You represent and warrant that (i) You are not located in a country that is subject to the United States government embargo or that has been designated by the United States government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and (ii) You are not listed on any United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Severability and Waiver

Severability

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is held to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

Waiver

Except as provided herein, the failure to exercise a right or to require performance of an obligation under these Terms and Conditions shall not affect a party’s ability to exercise such right or require such performance at any time thereafter, nor shall the waiver of a breach constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.
