Terms & Conditions

Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the website at vantaracg.com and any related pages, content, and tools (the "Website") operated by Vantara Consulting Group LLC ("Vantara," "we," "us," or "our").

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy & Cookie Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

About This Website

The Website describes Vantara's services and shares general information about artificial intelligence, technology, governance, and cybersecurity for professional services firms and other organizations.

Using the Website, contacting us, or submitting a form does not create a consulting, advisory, or other professional relationship with Vantara. Any engagement is governed solely by a written agreement signed by Vantara and the client, and the terms of that agreement control over anything on the Website.

No Professional Advice

Content on the Website is provided for general information only. It is not legal, tax, accounting, investment, regulatory, or cybersecurity advice, and it is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who knows your circumstances.

References to laws, regulations, and professional standards, such as ethics rules, tax rules, privacy laws, or security frameworks, are summaries for discussion. They may not reflect the most recent changes or how a rule applies in your jurisdiction. You should not act or refrain from acting on the basis of Website content without seeking appropriate professional advice.

Interactive tools, examples, and illustrations on the Website, including sample findings, scores, and timelines, are illustrative only and do not describe any specific client or guarantee any result.

Intellectual Property

The Website and its content, including text, graphics, designs, logos, page layouts, interactive tools, and methodologies, are owned by Vantara or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Vantara, the Vantara logo, and GovernanceLift™ are trademarks of Vantara Consulting Group LLC. Other names and logos that appear on the Website belong to their respective owners, and their appearance does not imply endorsement unless stated.

Except as allowed in Section 5, you may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, publicly display, or create derivative works from Website content without our prior written permission.

You may view, download, and print Website content for your own internal, non-commercial reference, provided you keep all copyright and other notices intact. You agree not to:

• Use the Website in any way that violates applicable law or these Terms
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website, its servers, or any connected systems
• Interfere with or disrupt the Website, including by introducing malware or overloading it with requests
• Scrape, harvest, or collect content or information from the Website by automated means, including to train AI models, without our written permission
• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation when contacting us

Information You Send Us

Our Privacy & Cookie Policy explains how we handle personal information you submit through the Website.

Please do not send confidential, privileged, or sensitive information, such as client files, tax return information, protected health information, or account credentials, through the Website's contact form or by unsolicited email. Until we have agreed in writing to an engagement and appropriate confidentiality terms, we cannot treat such information as confidential.

If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback about our services, you agree that we may use them without obligation to you.

Third-Party Links and Partners

The Website links to websites operated by third parties, including our technology partners. These links are provided for convenience. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, products, services, security, or privacy practices. Your use of any third-party website is governed by that website's own terms and policies.

Disclaimers

THE WEBSITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

We do not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that its content is complete or current. We may change, suspend, or remove any part of the Website at any time without notice.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VANTARA AND ITS MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND PARTNERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE WEBSITE OR ITS CONTENT, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you. These limitations do not apply to services delivered under a signed client agreement, which is governed by its own terms.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Vantara and its members, employees, and contractors from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Website.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Website will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of New York, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Website after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.
