Legal

Terms of Service

These terms govern use of the CipherYou website and form the baseline conditions for service-related inquiries made through the site.

Last updated: April 24, 2026

At a glance

Inquiry is not engagement

Submitting the form does not by itself create a client relationship or guarantee a project.

No absolute guarantee

Privacy and security work reduces risk, but no setup can be promised risk-free forever.

Third-party tools matter

Hosting, software, and form providers can affect service availability and risk outside direct control.

Website role

The website explains services and accepts inquiries. It is not itself a final service agreement.

Reasonable limits

Technology changes, threats evolve, and third-party tools may fail. Legal terms reflect that reality.

Further agreements

Accepted projects may still require separate scope, scheduling, payment, and delivery terms.

Core limitation

No absolute security guarantee

CipherYou aims to reduce risk, harden systems, and improve privacy in practical ways. However, no website, operating system, network, cloud provider, self-hosted setup, or remote access system can be guaranteed immune from outages, compromise, surveillance, misuse, or future vulnerabilities.

Plain-English summary

CipherYou can help you lower risk and improve control, but no one can honestly promise perfect privacy, perfect uptime, or perfect security.

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

2. Website purpose

The website is provided to describe CipherYou services, explain privacy-focused technology concepts, and allow prospective clients to submit inquiries. Website content is general business information and does not by itself create a client relationship, guaranteed outcome, or binding project commitment.

3. Service inquiries and project scope

Submitting the contact form or making an inquiry does not guarantee acceptance of a project. Any actual service work may be subject to additional scoping, written confirmation, specific deliverables, scheduling terms, payment terms, or separate agreements.

Recommendations, privacy improvements, and security-related work are based on the information available at the time. Technology changes, third-party systems change, and threat conditions change. Because of that, no service can guarantee perfect privacy, anonymity, or security.

4. Client responsibilities

  • Provide accurate and reasonably complete information when requesting services.
  • Do not send unlawful, abusive, malicious, or deceptive content through the website.
  • Maintain appropriate control over your own devices, credentials, approvals, and internal policies unless otherwise agreed in writing.
  • Review and approve any recommendations, infrastructure changes, or third-party services before relying on them for critical operations.

5. Acceptable website use

You may not use the website to interfere with service, probe for vulnerabilities without authorization, send spam, impersonate others, distribute malicious code, harvest information unlawfully, or engage in activity that could damage the site, the business, or other users.

6. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the website content, branding, copy, graphics, and presentation belong to CipherYou or are used with appropriate rights. You may not copy, republish, or commercially exploit site materials without permission, except for normal personal viewing or lawful reference.

7. Third-party services and links

The website may rely on or reference third-party services, providers, software, hosting, or external resources. CipherYou is not responsible for the availability, terms, pricing, conduct, or security posture of third-party providers. Use of those providers may be subject to their own contracts and policies.

8. Website availability

The website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. CipherYou may update, suspend, restrict, or remove content or functionality without notice. Availability is not guaranteed.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, CipherYou is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive losses arising from website use, inability to use the site, reliance on website content, third-party failures, or security incidents outside reasonable control. Any liability related directly to the website itself is limited to the extent permitted by applicable law.

10. Privacy

Use of the site is also governed by the Privacy Policy, which explains how information may be collected, used, and handled.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws applicable in Ontario and Canada, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where another jurisdiction's mandatory law applies.

12. Changes to these terms

CipherYou may update these terms from time to time. The latest version published on this page applies from the listed update date.
