Terms of Service

SimplifySec Group LLC

Effective Date: January 1, 2026

By accessing simplifysec.com (“Website”), purchasing digital products, subscribing to communications, or using services provided by SimplifySec Group LLC (“SimplifySec,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), you agree to the following Terms of Service.

If you do not agree, do not use this Website or purchase our products or services.

1. Educational Purpose Only

All content provided through the Website, digital products, downloads, newsletters, blog posts, training materials, templates, and communications is for educational and informational purposes only.

Nothing on this Website constitutes:

• Legal advice
• Financial advice
• Regulatory compliance certification
• Audit services
• Formal cybersecurity consulting
• Professional advisory services

You are solely responsible for how you implement any recommendations. By using this Website or any of our products, you agree not to rely on any content provided by SimplifySec as a substitute for independent professional advice from a qualified attorney, accountant, compliance officer, or cybersecurity professional. All content reflects general information only. Outcomes will vary based on your specific environment, system configuration, organizational needs, and individual decisions.

2. No Client Relationship

Accessing this Website, downloading materials, subscribing to emails, participating in webinars, or communicating informally does not create a client, advisor, consultant, fiduciary, or professional relationship.

A consulting or advisory relationship is formed only through a separately negotiated, signed written agreement that expressly identifies the engagement as a professional consulting relationship and clearly defines:

• Scope of services
• Deliverables
• Responsibilities
• Limitations of liability
• Payment terms

Until such an agreement is fully executed by both parties, no professional-client relationship exists. For the avoidance of doubt, responses to inquiries, comments, emails, social media messages, webinar questions, or any other informal communications do not create a consulting, advisory, fiduciary, or professional relationship of any kind. No professional relationship may be implied through course of conduct, frequency of communication, or the nature of any information exchanged.

3. Assumption of Risk

Cybersecurity involves inherent risk. Implementation of any security measure may produce unintended consequences.

You acknowledge that:

• Security controls may fail
• Threats evolve continuously
• No solution guarantees prevention of breach or loss

You assume full responsibility for implementation decisions. You represent that you have independently evaluated the suitability of any content, recommendation, or material before implementing it in your environment. SimplifySec has no obligation to update, correct, or supplement any content if circumstances, threats, regulations, or industry standards change after publication.

4. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SimplifySec Group LLC shall not be liable for any:

• Direct damages
• Indirect damages
• Incidental damages
• Consequential damages
• Regulatory penalties
• Business interruption
• Data loss
• Financial loss
• Security incidents

Arising from:

• Use of this Website
• Reliance on content
• Use of digital products
• Implementation of recommendations

In all cases, the total liability of either party shall not exceed the amount paid, if any, for the specific product or service giving rise to the claim. In no event shall either party be liable for loss of business opportunity.

5. No Guarantees

We do not guarantee:

• Specific security outcomes
• Regulatory compliance
• Risk elimination
• Financial savings
• Prevention of incidents

All examples, case studies, statistics, and third-party references provided are illustrative only and do not constitute a representation, warranty, or guarantee that you will achieve similar results.

Results vary based on infrastructure, configuration, industry, user behavior, threat landscape, regulatory environment, and workforce behavior.

6. Digital Products License

All digital products are:

• Licensed, not sold
• Non-transferable
• For individual or internal business use only

You may not:

• Resell
• Redistribute
• Share publicly
• Modify and republish
• Claim as your own

Unauthorized distribution is prohibited. You may not use any digital product, or any portion of its content, for the purpose of building, developing, or marketing a competing product or service, whether directly or indirectly. The license granted under these Terms terminates automatically and without notice upon any breach of these Terms by you.

7. Payments and Refunds

Due to the nature of digital products, all sales are final unless otherwise explicitly stated in writing.

If consulting services are provided under a separate agreement, payment terms will be governed by that agreement. If a digital product is technically inaccessible due to an error attributable to SimplifySec, SimplifySec will, at its sole discretion, either provide a corrected version or issue a refund. This is the exclusive remedy for product accessibility issues, and no other refund obligation shall apply.

8. Intellectual Property

All Website content, branding, materials, frameworks, templates, and documentation are the intellectual property of SimplifySec Group LLC and protected under applicable U.S. copyright and trademark laws.

Your purchase or use of any product or service does not transfer or assign any ownership interest in any content, framework, methodology, or branding belonging to SimplifySec. Unauthorized use, reproduction, or distribution of any intellectual property may result in legal action. SimplifySec reserves the right to pursue all available legal remedies, including injunctive relief, for any unauthorized use of its intellectual property.

9. Third-Party Links and Tools

The Website may reference third-party tools, platforms, or services.

We do not control or endorse third-party providers and are not responsible for their actions, security posture, or policies.

Use of third-party services is at your own risk. SimplifySec expressly disclaims any liability for third-party security incidents, data breaches, privacy violations, service outages, or any other harm resulting from your use of third-party tools or platforms referenced on this Website. You are responsible for independently reviewing and complying with the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of any third-party service before use.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SimplifySec Group LLC from any claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses arising from:

• Your misuse of materials
• Your implementation decisions
• Your violation of these Terms
• Your violation of any laws or regulations

SimplifySec agrees to notify you promptly of any claim for which it seeks indemnification and to provide you with reasonable opportunity to respond before incurring defense costs that may be charged to you. SimplifySec will cooperate in good faith with your reasonable requests for information related to any such claim.

11. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Before initiating any formal legal proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms, the complaining party shall provide written notice to the other party describing the dispute in reasonable detail and allow a thirty (30) day cure period during which both parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the matter informally. If the dispute is not resolved within the cure period, either party may initiate proceedings in the state or federal courts located in Indiana.

12. Modifications

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time.

Any modification will include a prominently posted effective date. Continued use of the Website after the posted effective date constitutes acceptance of revised Terms. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

13. International Users

This Website is operated from the United States. SimplifySec makes no representation that the content, products, or services available through this Website are appropriate, available, or compliant with the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States. If you access this Website from outside the United States, you do so voluntarily and are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable local, national, and international laws and regulations. SimplifySec does not target, market to, or solicit users in any specific foreign jurisdiction.

14. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with any separately executed written agreement between you and SimplifySec and any policies referenced herein (including any privacy policy posted on the Website), constitute the entire agreement between you and SimplifySec with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, communications, proposals, representations, and agreements, whether oral or written, relating to that subject matter. No course of dealing, course of performance, or usage of trade shall be used to modify, supplement, or interpret these Terms. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and a separately executed written agreement signed by both parties, the separately executed agreement shall control with respect to its subject matter.
