Scope of Services

Services include cybersecurity consulting, managed security, incident response, penetration testing, compliance support, physical security assessments, and related professional services as described in a Statement of Work, Service Agreement, or order form (the “Agreement”). In case of conflict, the Agreement controls.

Client Responsibilities

  • Maintain required infrastructure and credentials; promptly notify us of changes or incidents.
  • For testing engagements, provide written authorization, scope boundaries, maintenance windows, and escalation contacts.

Pricing, Fees, & Payment

  • Fees are as stated in the Agreement or invoice. “Starting at” prices on the site are estimates; final quotes follow discovery and may vary by environment, scope, and SLA.
  • Unless otherwise stated, fees are exclusive of taxes; you are responsible for applicable taxes.
  • Invoices are due upon receipt (or as stated). Late amounts may incur interest and/or service suspension.
  • Refunds, if any, are governed by the Agreement; time-and-materials work is non-refundable once performed.

Acceptable Use (Website)

  • No attempting to bypass security or test without explicit written authorization.
  • No unlawful, harmful, infringing, or abusive activity.

Confidentiality

Each party must protect the other’s confidential information using at least reasonable care and use it only for the engagement. NDAs in an Agreement supersede this section. Exceptions include information that is public, independently developed, or obtained lawfully from a third party.

Intellectual Property & Work Product

  • ShadowGrid retains ownership of pre-existing IP, tools, playbooks, and methodologies.
  • Deliverables/work product are licensed or assigned as specified in the Agreement; absent a specific grant, client receives a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use deliverables internally.
  • Feedback may be used to improve our services without obligation.

Pen Testing & Physical Security

Testing requires written authorization, mutually agreed scope, and adherence to laws. ShadowGrid will conduct testing in a professional manner. Client is responsible for backup, change control, and downtime coordination.

Warranties & Disclaimers

Services are provided “as is.” ShadowGrid disclaims all implied warranties to the maximum extent permitted by law, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Security services cannot guarantee detection or prevention of all threats or discovery of all vulnerabilities.

Limitations of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, ShadowGrid’s aggregate liability for all claims is limited to the fees paid for the services giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages.

Indemnification

Each party will defend and indemnify the other from third-party claims to the extent arising from the indemnifying party’s negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of these Terms or the Agreement.

Compliance, Export & Sanctions

Each party will comply with applicable laws, including U.S. export controls and sanctions. Services are not provided to embargoed countries or prohibited parties.

Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond reasonable control (e.g., natural disasters, war, labor actions, internet outages), provided the affected party uses reasonable efforts to mitigate and resumes performance promptly.

Term, Termination & Survival

  • Term and termination rights are set in the Agreement. Either party may terminate for material breach if not cured within the stated period.
  • Sections concerning fees, IP, confidentiality, disclaimers, limitations, and governing law survive termination.

Governing Law & Venue

Indiana law governs, without regard to conflicts principles. Venue and jurisdiction lie in the state or federal courts located in Marion County, Indiana.
