4. Professional Services

4.1 Service Agreements

Access to professional cybersecurity services requires execution of a separate service agreement or SOW. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a signed service agreement, the service agreement shall prevail with respect to the specific engagement.

• Grant authorized access to systems and data as required for assessments and implementations
• Designate appropriate personnel to coordinate with our team
• Implement recommended security controls within agreed timelines where applicable

4.3 No Guarantee of Outcomes

While we apply industry best practices and rigorous methodologies, no cybersecurity service can guarantee complete elimination of all security risks. Our services are designed to significantly reduce risk and improve security posture, but we cannot warrant that all threats will be prevented or detected.

5. Intellectual Property

All content on the Site — including text, graphics, logos, icons, images, software, and documentation — is the property of PROTECTDATA SHIELD LLC or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from Site content without our prior written permission.

Deliverables created under a service agreement remain subject to the intellectual property provisions specified in that agreement.

We treat all client information and security assessment findings as confidential, subject to the terms of our service agreements and applicable law. You agree not to disclose non-public information about our methodologies, pricing, or proprietary tools without our consent.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. Information on the Site is for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal, regulatory, or professional security advice.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PROTECTDATA SHIELD LLC AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR SERVICES.

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or resources. We provide these links for convenience only and do not endorse or assume responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or availability of third-party sites. Your use of third-party sites is at your own risk.

11. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

Before initiating formal legal proceedings, both parties agree to attempt to resolve disputes through good-faith negotiation for a period of thirty (30) days.

13. Modifications

We may revise these Terms at any time by posting updated terms on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Site after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.
