Terms of Use.

LightChange, LLC ("Company", "we", "us", or "our") makes this website at www.lightchange.com (the "Website") available to you subject to these Terms of Use. Our Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference and describes how we handle information collected through the Website.

By accessing or using the Website you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with them, your choice is not to use the Website. We may revise these Terms of Use at any time by posting a revised version on this page. By continuing to use the Website after we post a revision, you accept that revision, so please check this page periodically.

Ownership of the Website and Its Content

The Website and everything on it, including text, articles, checklists, assessments, diagrams, illustrations, photographs, video, audio, page designs, layouts, source code, and the selection and arrangement of all of it, is owned by us or by our licensors and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, trade dress, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms of Use transfers any ownership interest in the Website or its content to you.

Our name, our logos, and the names of our products and programs, including Guardian Giant, Guardian Realm, IP Fortress, Overwatch, Routing Shield, CertHunter, and Get 6'd, are our trademarks or service marks. You may not use them without our prior written permission, except to refer accurately to us or to our offerings.

Information You Submit to Us

When you submit information through a form on the Website, you confirm that the information is accurate and that you are entitled to provide it. We handle that information as described in our Privacy Policy. Please do not send us confidential or sensitive information through a web form. A form on a website is not a secure channel, and submitting information to us through one does not create a client relationship, a confidentiality obligation, or any other engagement between us.

Informational Purpose

The material on the Website is provided for general information. It describes our services and our view of the subjects we work in, and it is not technical, security, legal, or compliance advice for any particular organization. Every environment is different. Do not act on anything you read here as though it were an assessment of your own systems. If you want advice specific to your organization, contact us and we will talk about your situation directly.

Links to Other Websites

The Website links to websites operated by others, including vendors, partners, and public sources such as government advisories. We provide those links for convenience. We do not control those websites, we are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices, and a link is not an endorsement.

Copyright Concerns

We respect the intellectual property of others and expect the same in return. If you believe material on the Website infringes a copyright you own or control, contact us at [email protected] with a description of the work, the location of the material on the Website, your contact information, and a statement of your good faith belief that the use is not authorized. If you believe your material has been reproduced elsewhere from this Website without permission, we would like to know about that as well.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Website and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted or error free, that defects will be corrected, or that the Website or the servers that make it available are free of harmful components. We do not warrant that the content on the Website is accurate, complete, or current.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or business, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the Website, whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other theory, and whether or not we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LightChange, LLC and its members, officers, employees, and agents from any claim, demand, loss, or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of your use of the Website or your breach of these Terms of Use.

Governing Law and Venue

These Terms of Use and any dispute arising out of them or out of your use of the Website are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree that any such dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Jefferson County, Kentucky, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. These Terms of Use, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of the Website. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.
