Website Terms of Use
Terms governing access to and use of the Apex informational website.
Effective date: November 11, 2026
1. Scope and acceptance
These Website Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the public informational website located at https://apexcyberrisk.com (the "Website") operated by Apex Cyber Risk Advisory LLC ("Apex," "Company," "we," "us," or "our"). "You" refers to the individual or entity accessing the Website. By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, please discontinue use. These Terms apply to Website use only, not to separately contracted professional services.
2. Website purpose; no advisory engagement
Website materials describe Apex capabilities and provide general information. They do not constitute a cybersecurity assessment, penetration test, audit, certification, legal opinion, regulatory determination, assurance of compliance, or advice tailored to your organization. Accessing the Website, downloading content, or emailing Apex does not create a client–adviser, fiduciary, or other professional engagement. Any advisory services require a separate written agreement or statement of work executed by the parties. If that agreement conflicts with these Terms regarding contracted services, the signed agreement controls.
3. Permitted use and prohibited activities
You may view and use the Website for lawful purposes, including evaluating Apex services. You agree not to: (a) attempt unauthorized access to the Website, hosting environment, accounts, or connected systems; (b) probe, scan, exploit, disrupt, or interfere with Website availability or security without express written authorization; (c) upload, transmit, or introduce malware, malicious code, or harmful material; (d) scrape or reproduce substantial Website content for commercial exploitation without permission, except as permitted by law; or (e) misrepresent your identity or use the Website in violation of applicable law. Apex may take reasonable measures to restrict abusive access or protect the Website.
4. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise indicated, original Website text, design, graphics, logos, and other materials are owned by Apex or used under license and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Apex grants you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable permission to access and view Website content for legitimate, noncommercial evaluation. No other license or transfer of rights is granted. Third-party names and marks belong to their respective owners. Any use beyond applicable legal exceptions requires prior written permission.
5. Voluntary feedback and communications
If you voluntarily provide nonconfidential suggestions about the Website, you grant Apex a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use and adapt those suggestions to improve its Website and services. You retain ownership of your underlying materials. This clause does not assign ownership of confidential client information, proprietary security documentation, or materials governed by a separate agreement. Please do not send passwords, sensitive security details, regulated personal information, or confidential documents through an initial inquiry. Communications may be handled as described in our Privacy Policy.
6. External links and third-party services
The Website may link to websites or resources operated by third parties. Such links are provided for convenience and do not imply endorsement. Apex does not control, warrant, or assume responsibility for third-party content, availability, security, privacy practices, or terms. Your use of third-party services is subject to their applicable terms and policies.
7. Accuracy, availability, and disclaimers
We aim to keep Website information useful and current but do not warrant that it is complete, accurate, timely, or free of errors or omissions. Cybersecurity threats, technologies, regulations, and practices evolve. The Website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Apex disclaims express and implied warranties relating to Website content and operation, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or that the Website or communications will be free of harmful components. Nothing here limits rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Apex and its personnel will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential losses arising from or relating to use of, inability to use, or reliance on the Website, including lost profits, business interruption, or loss of data. This provision addresses the public Website only and does not limit or supersede obligations or remedies under a separately executed client agreement. Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted. No purchase is offered through the Website, and no liability cap is calculated by reference to online purchase amounts.
9. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy describes how information associated with Website visits and communications may be collected, used, or disclosed. Please review it alongside these Terms. These Terms do not replace the Privacy Policy or any mandatory privacy rights under applicable law.
10. Governing law and informal dispute resolution
Subject to mandatory applicable law, these Terms and disputes concerning use of the Website are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Before initiating formal proceedings, please contact Apex at [email protected] so we can attempt to resolve the concern informally. This request does not waive any nonwaivable legal rights or impose mandatory arbitration.
11. Severability; no waiver
If any provision is determined invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the extent permitted, and the remaining provisions will remain effective. Apex’s failure to enforce a provision at one time does not waive its right to enforce that provision later.
12. Changes to these Terms
Apex may update these Terms to reflect changes in the Website, business practices, or applicable law. We will post the revised Terms on the Website and update the "Last updated" date. Where legally required, additional notice will be provided. Continued use following the effective date of revisions is subject to the updated Terms to the extent permitted by law.
