Website Terms

1. Acceptance of Website Terms

By accessing, browsing or using the Utmost Value website, you acknowledge these Website Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you should discontinue use of the website. These Website Terms govern only use of the public website and do not replace an executed client service agreement.

Nothing in these Website Terms requires a visitor to waive a right or remedy that cannot lawfully be waived.

2. General Information; No Client Relationship

Website content is provided for general business, technology and marketing information. Content may be changed or removed without notice. No website content, form submission, email exchange, free audit or preliminary conversation creates a client relationship, fiduciary relationship, professional duty, guarantee, warranty or service contract. Services, deliverables, scope, timelines, pricing and responsibilities are established only through a separate written agreement accepted by Utmost Value and the client.

3. Inquiries, Form Submissions and Privacy Consent

When you submit information through a contact or audit form, you represent that the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have authority to provide it. You authorize Utmost Value to process the information for the purposes described in the Privacy Policy, including responding to the request and evaluating potential services. Do not transmit confidential, privileged, regulated or highly sensitive information through public forms unless Utmost Value has specifically provided an approved secure method.

4. Permitted Use and Prohibited Conduct

You may use the public website for lawful informational and business-inquiry purposes. You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, server, forms, accounts or systems; introduce malicious code; interfere with availability or security; scrape or harvest personal information in violation of law; impersonate another person; submit unlawful, fraudulent or abusive material; or use the website in a way that infringes the rights of Utmost Value or others.

5. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, the website's original design elements, branding, text, graphics, code and other content are owned by or licensed to Utmost Value and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, publish or commercially exploit protected website materials without permission, except as allowed by law.

6. Third-Party Websites, Tools and Content

Portfolio references, social-media links and other outbound links may lead to third-party websites or services. Utmost Value does not control third-party availability, security, content, representations, terms or privacy practices and is not responsible for changes made to third-party websites after a project is delivered.

7. No Warranties Regarding the Public Website

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the public website and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Utmost Value does not warrant that the website will always be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, free from harmful components, accurate, complete or suitable for a particular purpose. Any service-specific warranties or commitments exist only if stated in an applicable written client agreement.

8. Limitation of Liability for Website Use

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Utmost Value and its owners, officers, employees, contractors and agents will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages, loss of profits, loss of business opportunity, loss of data, loss of goodwill or similar losses arising solely from access to, inability to access, or use of the public website or reliance on general website content.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Utmost Value's aggregate liability arising solely from use of the public website will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount, if any, paid specifically for access to the public website during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100). This website-use limitation does not limit obligations separately assumed in an executed client agreement and does not exclude or limit liability, statutory rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

9. Responsibility for Your Systems and Submissions

You are responsible for maintaining reasonable security of your own device, browser, email account, network and credentials. You are also responsible for deciding what information to transmit through the public website. Utmost Value is not responsible, to the extent permitted by law, for loss or disclosure caused by compromised user devices or accounts, third-party networks, malicious actors or circumstances outside Utmost Value's reasonable control.

10. Indemnification for Misuse

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Utmost Value from third-party claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful misuse of the public website, your violation of these Website Terms, or material you submit without the authority or legal right to do so. This section does not apply to claims caused by conduct for which applicable law does not permit indemnification.

11. Changes and Severability

Utmost Value may update these Website Terms by posting a revised version. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain in effect, unless applicable law requires a different result.
