TERMS

Summary of how engagements work. Full terms are provided with each order.

Legal review required This page is a structured summary prepared from our internal launch-readiness documentation. Binding terms are provided with each order or statement of work, and this summary is pending review by counsel. Where this summary and a signed agreement differ, the signed agreement controls.

The engagement

Each Acquisition Evidence Screen is contracted per repository via an order or statement of work naming the exact deliverable: the ten report sections, by name. What the screen is not — no code-content, security, license, or quality analysis; no verdicts; not professional advice; not an audit — is written into the same document.

Refunds — objective conditions only

Full refund if a contracted section is missing from the delivered report, if coverage verification fails and we cannot correct it, or if delivery exceeds twice the quoted target for reasons within our control. Findings being unwelcome, or honestly reported as "not established," is delivery — not grounds for refund.

Your representations

You confirm you are authorized to provide the repository for analysis, that doing so breaches no agreement known to you, and that you will make reasonable efforts to exclude credentials, production data, PHI, and cardholder data. Intake tokens must be read-only, short-lived, and revoked after transfer.

Report ownership & use

The delivered report is yours for internal deal use. It informs your diligence; it is not a substitute for professional technical, legal, security, or investment advice, and may not be represented to third parties as such. The engine and method remain ours.

Liability

Engagement agreements include a limitation of liability capped at fees paid, and a warranty disclaimer, as stated in the signed order.

Data handling

Retention, deletion, and confidentiality follow the posture published on Security & Data Handling and the privacy notice, incorporated into each order.
