Terms of Service

1. Agreement to these terms

By accessing everligntek.com, downloading anything from it, subscribing to our insights, or submitting an enquiry, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

If you accept these terms on behalf of a company or other organisation, you confirm that you have the authority to bind that organisation, and the word you in these terms means that organisation.

2. Who we are

Everligntek is a boutique technology consulting firm delivering enterprise AI, data engineering, analytics and cloud platform services. The contracting entity depends on where you are.

General enquiries: info@everlign.com. Phone: +1 (703) 625 4704.

3. Using this website

We give you a limited, non exclusive, non transferable and revocable licence to access the site and to view, download and print its content for your own internal business evaluation.

The site is provided on an as available basis. We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of it, including any feature, page or downloadable resource, without notice. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, and we are not liable for downtime caused by maintenance, hosting providers or events outside our control.

You are responsible for the equipment, connectivity and security arrangements you need to access the site, and for keeping any account credentials we issue you confidential.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to do any of the following, and not to help anyone else do it.

• Use the site for any unlawful, fraudulent or deceptive purpose, or in breach of any applicable export control or sanctions rule.
• Copy, republish, resell or commercially exploit our content without written permission.
• Scrape, crawl, harvest or systematically extract content or contact data, including for the purpose of training a machine learning model, without our written consent.
• Probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the site, or bypass any authentication, rate limiting or access control.
• Upload or transmit malware, or anything designed to interrupt, damage or gain unauthorised access to a system.
• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation, impersonate any person, or send unsolicited commercial messages through our forms.
• Use the site in a way that places an unreasonable load on our infrastructure or degrades it for other users.

We may investigate suspected breaches, remove offending material, block access and report serious matters to law enforcement.

5. Intellectual property

All content on this site, including text, graphics, diagrams, code samples, accelerators, frameworks, methodologies, logos and the name of any of Everlign Group of Companies and marks, is owned by us or licensed to us. It is protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws.

Nothing on this site transfers ownership or grants a licence beyond the limited viewing rights in section 3. In particular:

• You may quote short extracts of our published insights with clear attribution and a link back to the original page.
• You may not use our name, logo or client names in your own marketing without written permission.
• Third party trademarks shown on this site, including technology partner marks, belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only.

Ownership of deliverables created during a paid engagement is dealt with in the engagement contract, not here.

6. Your submissions

When you send us a message, a brief, a job application or feedback through this site, you keep ownership of what you send. You grant us a licence to use it for the purpose you sent it: to reply to you, to prepare a proposal, or to assess your application.

You confirm that anything you submit is accurate, that you are entitled to share it, and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights or contain confidential information belonging to a third party.

Please do not send unsolicited confidential material or trade secrets through the website. Ask us for a mutual non disclosure agreement first, and we will send a secure channel. If you send us general suggestions or ideas about our services, we may use them without obligation or payment.

7. Consulting engagements

Nothing on this website is an offer capable of acceptance, and nothing on it creates a client relationship. Case studies, benchmarks, accelerator descriptions and outcome figures describe past work under specific conditions. They are illustrations, not commitments or predictions.

An engagement begins only when both sides sign a written agreement. That agreement, not this page, will set out:

• Scope, deliverables, acceptance criteria and change control.
• Fees, invoicing schedule, expenses, currency and applicable taxes.
• Service levels, warranty periods and support arrangements.
• Ownership of deliverables, background intellectual property and licence terms.
• Data protection roles, security obligations and the approved sub processor list.
• Term, termination rights and the consequences of termination.

8. Third party services and links

This site links to third party websites and embeds third party services such as analytics, video hosting, scheduling and form processing. We do not control those services and we are not responsible for their content, availability, security or terms.

Where we reference technology partners or platforms, that reference does not imply endorsement by them of us, or by us of every use of their product. Your use of any third party service is governed by that provider's own terms.

9. Disclaimers

The website and its content are provided as is and as available, without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non infringement.

Our content is published for general information. It is not legal, financial, tax, regulatory or professional advice, and it does not take account of your circumstances. Take proper advice before you act on anything you read here.

We take care to keep content accurate and current, but we do not warrant that it is complete, error free, or that the site is free of viruses or other harmful components.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Everlign Group of Companies and its employees and subcontractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill, anticipated savings or data, arising out of or in connection with your use of this website, however caused.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with this website and these terms is limited to one hundred United States dollars (USD 100).

This limit applies to the website only. Liability under a signed services agreement is governed by the liability clause in that agreement.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Everligntek, its group companies, officers, employees and subcontractors against any claim, loss, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

• Your breach of these terms, including the acceptable use rules in section 4.
• Your infringement of any intellectual property, privacy or other right of a third party.
• Any material you submit through this site.
• Your violation of any applicable law or regulation in connection with your use of the site.

We will notify you promptly of any claim covered by this section and give you reasonable cooperation in defending it.

12. Confidentiality and privacy

Information exchanged during a sales conversation or an engagement is treated as confidential where it is marked as such, or where a reasonable person would understand it to be confidential. Formal obligations are set out in a mutual non disclosure agreement or in the confidentiality clause of the engagement contract.

How we handle personal data is explained in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms. Where we process personal data on your behalf as part of a service, our data processing agreement applies.

13. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the site at any time, without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these terms, if your use creates a security or legal risk, or if we discontinue the site or a feature of it.

You may stop using the site at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive it, including sections 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 and 15.

Termination of website access does not by itself terminate any signed services agreement, which has its own termination provisions.

14. Governing law and disputes

The governing law depends on which Everlign entity you are dealing with.

Before you go to court

If a dispute arises, both sides agree to raise it in writing first and to have senior representatives attempt to resolve it in good faith for 30 days. Either side may seek urgent injunctive relief at any time to protect confidential information or intellectual property.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. If you are a consumer, the mandatory consumer protection law of your country of residence still applies and nothing here removes that protection.

15. General terms

• Entire agreement: these terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, are the whole agreement between us about the website, and replace any earlier understanding on that subject.
• Severability: if any provision is held unenforceable, it is modified to the minimum extent needed to make it enforceable, and the rest of the terms stay in force.
• No waiver: a delay or failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of that right.
• Assignment: you may not assign or transfer these terms without our written consent. We may assign them to a group company or to a successor in a merger, restructuring or sale of assets.
• Force majeure: neither side is liable for a failure caused by an event beyond its reasonable control, including outages of major cloud or network providers.
• No partnership: nothing here creates a partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship between us.
• Third parties: no one other than you and Everligntek & its group companies have a right to enforce these terms.
• Language: these terms are written in English. Any translation is provided for convenience and the English version prevails.

16. Changes and contact

We may update these terms to reflect changes in our services, our legal obligations or our business. The effective date at the top of this page shows the current version. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Where a change materially reduces your rights we will give reasonable notice on this page before it takes effect.
