01 · Acceptance of terms
By accessing principlesec.com (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
02 · Use of the Site
The Site and its contents are provided for general informational purposes. You agree not to misuse the Site — including attempting to disrupt its operation, probing or testing it without written authorization, scraping content at scale, or submitting false or automated form entries. (If you believe you've found a vulnerability, we welcome reports via our security.txt.)
03 · No professional advice
Content on this Site — including blog posts, guides, calculators, and self-assessments — is general information, not security, legal, compliance, or financial advice for your specific situation. Tools such as the vCISO Cost Calculator and Security Maturity Scorecard produce directional estimates only. Engage qualified professionals (ours or others) before acting on it.
04 · Services engagements
Consulting and advisory services are governed by separately executed agreements (statements of work, master service agreements, or engagement letters). Nothing on this Site constitutes an offer of services on particular terms, and no engagement is formed by submitting a form or downloading materials.
05 · Intellectual property
The Site's content, design, guides, and tools are the property of Principle Security LLC or its licensors. You may download and share our free guides in unmodified form with attribution. Any other reproduction, modification, or commercial use requires our written permission.
06 · Third-party links and services
The Site links to third-party sites and uses third-party services (analytics, form processing, scheduling). We are not responsible for third-party content or practices; their own terms and privacy policies apply.
07 · Disclaimers
The Site is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including 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.
08 · Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Principle Security LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Site or reliance on its content. Our total liability relating to the Site shall not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). Liability arising under executed services agreements is governed by those agreements, not these terms.
09 · Changes
We may update these terms periodically; the "Last updated" date above reflects the current version. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance.
10 · Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which Principle Security LLC is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
