Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the OakCress LLC website. By using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Informational purpose

This website provides general information about OakCress and its services. Website content is not a technology assessment, cybersecurity opinion, legal opinion, compliance determination, or other professional advice for your organization. Do not make a material business, security, legal, or financial decision solely from website content.

No client relationship through website use

Visiting the site, submitting a form, scheduling a call, or receiving a response does not create a client, advisory, fiduciary, or confidential relationship. OakCress services begin only under a written agreement or Statement of Work accepted by OakCress and the client. If these Terms conflict with an executed client agreement, the executed client agreement controls for that engagement.

Cybersecurity and technology limitations

OakCress helps organizations understand risk, prioritize improvements, and move toward a stronger technology and security posture. No assessment, recommendation, control, service, or website resource can guarantee that a cyberattack, outage, data loss, fraud, unauthorized access, or other incident will be prevented, detected, or eliminated. The occurrence of an incident by itself does not establish that OakCress breached a duty or caused the incident.

Permitted use

You may use this website for lawful business and informational purposes. You may not attempt to disrupt the site, gain unauthorized access, introduce malicious code, scrape the site in a manner that impairs service, misrepresent your identity, or use site content to violate another person’s rights.

Intellectual property

The OakCress name, branding, site design, text, graphics, frameworks, and other original content are owned by OakCress or used with permission and are protected by applicable law. You may view and print reasonable portions for your own internal evaluation of OakCress services. No other license is granted.

Third-party services and links

The website may use or link to third-party services for scheduling, email, payments, documents, analytics, or other functions. OakCress does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, or privacy practices. Your use of a third-party service may be subject to its own terms.

Website availability and disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” OakCress does not promise that the site will always be available, error-free, complete, current, or suitable for a particular purpose. Nothing in these Terms excludes a right or responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, OakCress will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from use of or reliance on this website. Liability connected to paid professional services is governed by the applicable written client agreement or Statement of Work.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by Texas law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute relating solely to this website will be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction and venue in the county where OakCress maintains its principal office, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Changes

OakCress may update these Terms as the website, services, or legal requirements change. The date above identifies the latest revision. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
