Terms of Use

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Proviguard, Inc. ("Proviguard," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of proviguard.ai and the content, tools, and forms on it (together, the "Site"). If you use the Site on behalf of an organization, you agree to these Terms on its behalf and confirm that you have authority to do so.

2. The Site versus the Proviguard platform

The Site provides information about Proviguard and its products. Access to and use of the Proviguard platform, its software, APIs, documentation, and related services (the "Services") require a separate written agreement, such as a master services agreement and an order form, between Proviguard and the customer. That agreement governs the Services. If it conflicts with these Terms, the agreement controls. Nothing on the Site grants you a right to use the Services.

3. Eligibility

The Site is intended for business and professional use. To use it, you must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, and able to enter into a binding agreement.

4. Acceptable use

You may view the Site and print or download reasonable portions of it for your own internal business use, such as evaluating Proviguard. You agree not to:

• Use the Site in violation of any law or regulation, or of the rights of others.
• Scrape, crawl, harvest, or systematically extract content or data from the Site by automated means, except for standard search-engine indexing.
• Use Site content to train, fine-tune, or benchmark artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models without our prior written consent.
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Site, or get around any security measure, except as described below.
• Interfere with or disrupt the Site, for example by uploading malicious code, sending excessive traffic, or submitting spam through our forms.
• Copy, modify, republish, frame, or create derivative works from the Site or its content, except as these Terms allow.
• Misrepresent your identity or your affiliation with any person or organization.

Security research. We welcome responsible reports of security vulnerabilities. Email info@proviguard.ai with "Security" in the subject line. Please give us a reasonable chance to fix the issue before you disclose it. Do not access, modify, or keep data that does not belong to you, and do not degrade the Site for other users.

5. Intellectual property

Proviguard or its licensors own the Site and all of its content, including text, graphics, diagrams, logos, interactive tools, software, and the selection and arrangement of these materials. Copyright, trademark, patent, and other laws protect them. "Proviguard," the Proviguard logo, and related names and marks are trademarks of Proviguard, Inc. You may not use them without our prior written permission. Patent applications are pending for certain Proviguard technology. Except for the limited rights in Section 4, these Terms grant you no right or license.

6. Your communications and feedback

Please do not send confidential or proprietary information, or sensitive personal information, through the Site's forms or by email unless a written confidentiality agreement with Proviguard covers it. If you send us suggestions, ideas, or other feedback about Proviguard or the Site ("Feedback"), we may use it without restriction and without any obligation to you.

7. Informational content only

• Not legal, regulatory, or compliance advice. References to laws, regulations, supervisory guidance, and frameworks on the Site are general summaries. They do not show how any requirement applies to your organization. Using Proviguard does not, by itself, make an organization compliant with any law or framework. Consult your own legal and compliance advisers.
• Interactive tools. Calculators, simulators, and examples on the Site are illustrative. They use assumptions and sample data, and they are not a quote, forecast, or guarantee of results.
• Product descriptions. Statements about the Services describe their intended design. Some describe features that are planned, in early access, or on our roadmap. The capabilities, availability, performance, and security commitments for any deployment are set out only in the customer's written agreement.
• No offer. Nothing on the Site is an offer to sell, or a solicitation to buy, any product, service, or security.

8. Third-party links and services

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, and it relies on third-party services for hosting, form handling, and fonts. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices.

9. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information collected through the Site.

10. Disclaimers

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW PERMITS, PROVIGUARD DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING 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 SECURE, OR THAT ITS CONTENT IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW PERMITS, PROVIGUARD AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranties or liabilities to be excluded or limited. In those jurisdictions, these limitations apply only to the extent the law permits. This section does not limit any liability under a separate written agreement for the Services.

12. Indemnification

To the extent the law permits, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Proviguard and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents against any third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that arise from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Site.

13. Governing law and venue

The laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A., govern these Terms and any dispute relating to the Site, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The state and federal courts located in Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction over any such dispute, and you and Proviguard consent to their personal jurisdiction. Either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or confidential information.

14. Changes to the Site and these terms

We may change, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Site at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time and will change the effective date above when we do. If you keep using the Site after an update takes effect, you accept the updated Terms.

15. General

These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Proviguard about the Site. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. If we do not enforce a provision, that does not waive our right to enforce it later. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them without restriction. You agree to comply with all applicable export-control and sanctions laws in using the Site.
