Terms of Use

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using the N2CON website (the "Site"), you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use this Site.

No Professional Advice

This is critical for cybersecurity services:

• Not legal advice: Nothing on this Site constitutes legal advice or creates an attorney-client relationship. Compliance requirements vary by organization, industry, and jurisdiction. Consult qualified legal counsel for advice on your specific obligations.
• Not security advice: Information on this Site is general in nature. Your organization's security needs depend on your specific environment, risk profile, and business requirements. Consult qualified security professionals before implementing any controls.
• Not a guarantee: References to compliance frameworks (CMMC, HIPAA, SOC 2, NIST, etc.) describe general requirements. Successful compliance depends on your organization's implementation, not on information provided on this Site.
• Educational purpose only: Resource guides, notes, and other content are intended to help you understand concepts and ask informed questions — not to replace professional assessment of your environment.

Acceptable Use

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

• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Site or its systems
• Use the Site to transmit malware, spam, or other harmful code
• Interfere with or disrupt the Site's security, authentication, or technical infrastructure
• Use automated systems (bots, scrapers) to access the Site without permission
• Use the Site in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

Aggregate Limit: In no event shall N2CON's total liability to you for all damages exceed one hundred dollars ($100).

Essential Basis: These limitations apply even if N2CON has been advised of the possibility of such damages and even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose.
