Terms of Service

The Site is provided for general informational purposes, business inquiry intake, scheduling, communications, and related activities connected to Solven's software, consulting, design, development, and operational services.

The Site does not provide legal, financial, tax, accounting, cybersecurity, regulatory, or other licensed professional advice. Information on the Site is general in nature and may not reflect the full facts, constraints, or requirements of your situation.

Accessing the Site, sending us a message, submitting a form, booking a meeting, or exchanging preliminary communications does not by itself create a client relationship, contractor relationship, fiduciary duty, partnership, joint venture, or other formal services relationship.

A services relationship exists only if both parties enter into a separate written agreement signed or otherwise accepted by both parties.

These public Site Terms of Service govern only public Site use. They do not set project fees, deliverables, timelines, intellectual-property assignments, warranties, or liability caps for project work.

Commercial terms for a specific engagement exist only when stated in a signed proposal, SOW, or other written client agreement that expressly incorporates the Client Services Terms or supersedes them.

You may use the Site only for lawful purposes and only in compliance with these Terms.

You agree not to:

• use the Site in violation of any applicable law;
• interfere with or disrupt the Site or its infrastructure;
• probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Site without authorization;
• attempt unauthorized access to any account, system, or data;
• upload or transmit malware, malicious code, harmful scripts, spam, or deceptive content;
• impersonate another person or entity;
• use automated means to scrape or harvest Site content except as permitted by law;
• submit false, misleading, infringing, defamatory, or unlawful material;
• circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security, rate-limiting, or access‑control feature of the Site;
• use the Site to benchmark or competitively analyze Solven's services without prior written consent.

If you submit information through the Site, you represent that:

• the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge;
• you have the right to provide it;
• you are not violating any confidentiality, privacy, or third-party obligations by submitting it;
• the submitted material does not include content you are prohibited from sharing.

Unless expressly requested through an appropriate secured process, do not submit through public Site forms:

• passwords or access credentials;
• payment card or bank information;
• government ID numbers (SSN, passport, driver's license, etc.);
• protected health information (PHI) or medical records;
• highly sensitive personal information;
• export-controlled or ITAR-restricted information;
• trade secrets or other highly sensitive confidential data not necessary for initial inquiry.

We are not liable for any loss or exposure resulting from your voluntary submission of prohibited material through unsecured public channels.

The Site may allow you to request contact, submit project information, or schedule a meeting. We do not guarantee:

• availability for a project;
• acceptance of any inquiry;
• any minimum or maximum response time;
• any specific project outcome;
• that any meeting request will be confirmed or kept at the requested time.

We may decline, reschedule, or cancel meetings or inquiries at our discretion.

The Site and its contents, including text, code, graphics, layout, design elements, branding, visual assets, structure, and compilations, are owned by or licensed to Solven and are protected by intellectual property and other applicable laws.

Except as expressly permitted by law or with our prior written consent, you may not:

• copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, display, transmit, modify, or create derivative works from the Site;
• reverse engineer or attempt to extract source code from Site components not made public for that purpose;
• use our name, branding, logo, or design elements in a manner likely to imply endorsement or affiliation.

If you voluntarily provide comments, ideas, feedback, suggestions, or non-confidential input about the Site, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to use and incorporate that feedback without obligation to you.

This section does not apply to confidential project materials submitted in connection with a proposed or actual client engagement, except to the extent separately agreed.

The Site may use, embed, or link to third-party services, including hosting, scheduling, analytics, email, storage, security, form, or infrastructure providers.

We are not responsible for the content, functionality, uptime, terms, privacy practices, or security of third-party sites or services. Your use of third-party services is governed by their own terms and policies.

We may update, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice. We do not guarantee that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

The Site may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies. Where required by applicable law, we will present a consent mechanism before setting non-essential cookies.

You may manage your cookie preferences through the Site's consent controls or through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may limit Site functionality.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of:

• merchantability;
• fitness for a particular purpose;
• title;
• non-infringement;
• availability;
• accuracy;
• reliability;
• compatibility;
• security.

We do not warrant that:

• the Site will meet your expectations;
• the Site will be uninterrupted or error-free;
• defects will be corrected;
• the Site or any content is free of viruses or harmful components.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Solven and its owner, affiliates, contractors, and representatives will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, or similar damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, reputation, business opportunity, or business interruption arising out of or related to:

• your use of or inability to use the Site;
• your reliance on the Site;
• third-party services;
• submissions or communications through the Site;
• unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data;
• these Terms.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Solven's total aggregate liability arising out of or related to the Site or these Terms will not exceed the greater of:

• US $100, or
• the amount, if any, that you paid directly to use the Site in the 3 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

The foregoing limitations apply even if the stated remedy fails of its essential purpose.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Solven and its owner, affiliates, contractors, and representatives from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to:

• your use of the Site;
• your submissions;
• your violation of these Terms;
• your violation of law;
• your violation of any third-party rights.

Your use of the Site is also subject to:

• our Privacy Policy;
• our AI & Data Handling Notice;
• any other policies or notices posted on the Site.

We may revise these Terms from time to time. Revised Terms become effective when posted unless a later effective date is stated. Your continued use of the Site after updated Terms are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

If we make material changes, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice through the Site.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent superseded by applicable federal law.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Illinois, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

You acknowledge that a breach of certain provisions of these Terms, including but not limited to intellectual-property and prohibited-use restrictions, may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy.

Solven may seek injunctive or other equitable relief without the obligation to post a bond, in addition to any other legal remedies available at law or in equity.

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

No failure or delay by Solven in exercising any right or remedy under these Terms constitutes a waiver of that right or remedy. A waiver of one provision or breach does not constitute a waiver of any other.

These Terms, together with any policies expressly incorporated by reference, form the entire agreement between you and Solven regarding the Site.
