1. Acceptance of these terms
By accessing or using cyberguards.ai (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site. These terms govern only your use of the Site and any free resources we publish here. Penetration-testing engagements are governed by separate signed agreements that prevail over anything inconsistent in these terms.
2. Who we are
CyberGuards is a penetration-testing firm based in San Francisco, California. References to "we", "us", or "CyberGuards" in these terms refer to that organization.
3. Permitted use of the Site
You may read, link to, and reference the content on this Site for your own personal or business research. You may not:
- Use the Site or its content to develop a competing service that copies our positioning, structure, or substantive guidance materials.
- Attempt to scrape the Site at scale for use in third-party datasets, training corpora, or commercial reuse beyond ordinary fair use.
- Attempt to perform unauthorized security testing against the Site outside of the responsible disclosure policy.
- Use the Site to send spam, phish CyberGuards staff or customers, or attempt to misuse our identity.
4. Intellectual property
All content on the Site — including written guides, page copy, illustrations, logos, and code — is the property of CyberGuards or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. You retain ownership of anything you submit to us. By submitting content (e.g., in an inquiry email), you grant us a limited license to use it for the purpose of responding to you and operating our business.
5. Services described on the Site
The Site describes our penetration-testing services. Descriptions of services on this Site are informational and do not by themselves constitute a binding offer to perform work. Engagement-specific scope, price, deliverables, and timing are set out in a written engagement agreement signed by both parties. In the event of a conflict between this Site and a signed engagement agreement, the engagement agreement controls.
6. Third-party links and services
The Site may link to or rely on third-party services (e.g., calendar booking, email, analytics). We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, terms, or behavior. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms.
7. Disclaimers
The Site and its content are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, although we take reasonable steps to keep it that way.
Content on the Site is general information and is not legal, regulatory, or professional advice. For advice on a specific situation, consult an appropriately licensed professional.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, CyberGuards is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site, including loss of profits, data, business opportunity, or goodwill, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these terms or the Site is limited to one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).
Liability under signed engagement agreements is governed by the limitations in those agreements, not by this section.
9. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold CyberGuards harmless from any claim or demand made by any third party arising out of your use of the Site in violation of these terms or applicable law.
10. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you are violating these terms or applicable law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, governing law, dispute resolution) survive.
11. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The exclusive venue for any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms is the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
12. Changes to these terms
We update these terms when our practices or the law changes. Material changes are reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top. Continued use of the Site after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
