Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of www.southwest-networks.com (the “Website”) operated by Southwest Networks, Inc. (“Southwest Networks,” “SWN,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Website.
Limited License; Ownership
All materials on the Website, including text, graphics, logos, articles, checklists, scorecards, assessments, guides, and other resources, are owned by or licensed to Southwest Networks and protected by law. We grant you a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to access and use the Website for your personal use or for your organization’s internal evaluation of our services. Except as permitted by this limited license or applicable law, you may not copy, modify, distribute, display, sell, or create derivative works from Website materials without our prior written permission. Trademarks and service marks displayed on the Website are the property of Southwest Networks or third parties and may not be used without permission.
Third-Party Sites and Content
The Website may contain links to third-party sites or embedded third-party content, including content from technology vendors and partners. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, practices, or policies, and your use of them is at your own risk. Any links are provided for convenience only and do not imply endorsement.
No Professional Advice
The information on the Website, including blog posts, articles, checklists, scorecards, self-assessments, and other resources, is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute IT, cybersecurity, legal, regulatory compliance, financial, or other professional advice, and it is not a substitute for an evaluation of your specific systems, environment, or circumstances. Results from any online scorecard or self-assessment are general indicators based on the information you provide and are not a security audit, penetration test, risk assessment, or certification of compliance with any law, regulation, or standard. Your use of the Website does not create a client, managed services, attorney-client, or other professional relationship with Southwest Networks.
Services Governed by Separate Agreements
Managed IT, cybersecurity, and other services provided by Southwest Networks are governed solely by the written agreement(s) between Southwest Networks and its client, such as a master services agreement, statement of work, or service order. Descriptions of services, pricing, or features on the Website are summaries only, are subject to change, and do not modify those agreements. If there is a conflict between the Website and a signed client agreement, the client agreement controls.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to (a) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website or any related systems or networks; (b) probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Website or our systems without our prior written authorization; (c) interfere with or disrupt the Website, including by introducing malware or conducting denial-of-service attacks; (d) use automated means to scrape or harvest content or data from the Website; or (e) use the Website for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose. If you believe you have found a security vulnerability affecting the Website, please report it to [email protected] rather than testing or disclosing it.
No Warranties
The Website and all content are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and noninfringement. We do not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted or error-free, that defects will be corrected, that content is complete or current, or that the Website is free of viruses or other harmful components.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Southwest Networks and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or business interruption, arising out of or in connection with the Website or these Terms, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Website or these Terms will not exceed the greater of 100 dollars or the amount you paid (if any) to use the Website in the 12 months preceding the claim. This limitation does not apply to services provided under a separate client agreement, which are governed by that agreement. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability; in such cases, the foregoing limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Southwest Networks and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Website or violation of these Terms.
Governing Law; Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The exclusive venue for any dispute arising out of or relating to the Website or these Terms will be the state or federal courts located in Riverside County, California, and you consent to their personal jurisdiction.
Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last Updated” date indicates when they were last changed, and the updated Terms are effective upon posting.
Severability; Waiver
If any provision of these Terms is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision.
