1. Use of the Site

You may use the Site for lawful purposes only. You agree not to:

• Interfere with or disrupt the Site or servers or networks connected to it
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Site or its related systems
• Use the Site to transmit spam, malware, or other harmful code
• Scrape or harvest content from the Site using automated means without our prior written consent

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to the Site for conduct that violates these Terms or that we determine, in our sole discretion, is harmful to other users, the Site, or Backchain.

2. No Consulting or Advisory Relationship

Visiting this Site, reading its content, and submitting the contact form do not create a consulting, advisory, or professional relationship between you and Backchain.

Information on this Site is general in nature. It does not constitute advice tailored to your specific situation. Formal consulting engagements with Backchain are established only through a signed statement of work or engagement agreement, not through the Site.

Until a written engagement agreement is executed, no information you share through the Site — including through the contact form — is confidential, subject to professional privilege, or obligates Backchain to perform any services.

3. Accuracy of Information

We strive to keep the information on the Site current and accurate. However, we make no representations or warranties, express or implied, regarding the completeness, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose of any content on the Site. Industry conditions, regulations, and technology evolve rapidly. Content on this Site may not reflect the most current developments.

Any statistics or third-party research cited on the Site are provided for illustrative purposes. We are not responsible for the accuracy of third-party data.

4. Intellectual Property

All content on this Site — including text, graphics, logos, the Backchain name and wolf mark, and the selection and arrangement of content — is owned by or licensed to Backchain LLC and is protected by copyright and other applicable intellectual property laws.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to view and print pages from the Site for your personal, non-commercial use only. You may not reproduce, redistribute, modify, create derivative works from, or otherwise exploit any content from the Site without our prior written consent.

5. Contact Form Submissions

When you submit the contact form, you grant Backchain a non-exclusive license to use the information you provide for the purpose of responding to your inquiry. You represent that any information you submit is accurate and that you have the right to share it.

Backchain will handle contact form data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

6. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, including LinkedIn and referenced research sources. These links are provided for convenience only. Backchain does not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for the content or practices of any third-party site. Your use of third-party sites is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Backchain disclaims all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Backchain does not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Backchain LLC, its members, officers, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of — or inability to use — the Site or its content.

In no event will Backchain's total liability to you for all claims arising out of or related to the Site exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if Backchain has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability; in such jurisdictions, the above limitations apply to the maximum extent permitted.

9. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Backchain LLC and its members, officers, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Site; (b) your violation of these Terms; or (c) your violation of any third-party right.

10. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site that cannot be resolved informally will be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Virginia.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. We will update the "Last updated" date when we do. Material changes will be noted on the Site. Your continued use of the Site after any change constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to updated Terms, discontinue use of the Site.
