3. Scope of Services

GHO GROUP, LLC provides professional computer systems design and related services within the Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services sector, with specific focus on computer integrated systems design. Our service offerings encompass but are not limited to system architecture planning, cloud infrastructure deployment and migration, cybersecurity framework implementation, data pipeline engineering, DevOps automation, and technology strategy consulting.

3.1 Engagement Model

Services are typically provided pursuant to a written Service Agreement that defines the project scope, deliverables, timeline, milestones, acceptance criteria, and fee structure. No professional services engagement is formed solely through website interaction or inquiry submission. A binding engagement requires mutual execution of a Service Agreement by authorized representatives of both the Company and the Client. Until such an agreement is executed, any discussions, proposals, or estimates provided by the Company are preliminary and non-binding.

3.2 Professional Standards

The Company commits to performing all Services with the degree of skill, care, and diligence normally exercised by qualified professionals performing similar services in the computer systems design industry. We adhere to industry best practices, maintain appropriate professional certifications, and deploy qualified personnel for all engagements. However, the Company does not guarantee specific outcomes, performance metrics, or business results unless such guarantees are explicitly stated in a duly executed Service Agreement.

3.3 Subcontractors

The Company may engage qualified subcontractors to assist in the delivery of certain Services. Any subcontractors engaged will be bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations at least as protective as those contained in these Terms of Service and any applicable Service Agreement. The Company remains fully responsible for the quality and timeliness of work performed by subcontractors.

4. Client Obligations

Successful delivery of Services depends on the Clients active and timely cooperation. The Client agrees to the following obligations throughout the duration of any engagement with the Company.

4.1 Access and Information

The Client shall provide the Company with reasonable access to its systems, facilities, personnel, and documentation as necessary for the performance of Services. The Client shall designate one or more points of contact authorized to make decisions and provide approvals on behalf of the Client. Delays in providing access or information may result in corresponding delays in project timelines for which the Company shall not be held responsible.

4.2 Accuracy of Information

The Client represents and warrants that all information, specifications, requirements, and materials provided to the Company are accurate, complete, and do not infringe upon any third-party intellectual property rights. The Company relies on the accuracy of Client-provided information in developing solutions and shall not be liable for errors or deficiencies arising from inaccurate or incomplete Client inputs.

4.3 Compliance with Laws

The Client agrees to use the Services and any Deliverables in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and industry standards. The Client is solely responsible for ensuring that its use of the Services and Deliverables meets any regulatory requirements specific to its industry or jurisdiction.

5. Intellectual Property

The allocation of intellectual property rights between the Company and the Client is governed by the following provisions and any specific terms set forth in the applicable Service Agreement.

5.1 Pre-Existing Intellectual Property

Each party retains all right, title, and interest in and to its pre-existing intellectual property, including software, tools, frameworks, methodologies, documentation, and know-how developed prior to or independently of the engagement. Nothing in these Terms of Service or any Service Agreement shall be construed as transferring ownership of either partys pre-existing intellectual property.

5.2 Project Deliverables

Unless otherwise specified in the Service Agreement, upon full payment of all fees due, the Client shall own all rights, title, and interest in and to the Deliverables created specifically for the Client in the course of the engagement. The Company retains a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and modify any general-purpose methodologies, techniques, frameworks, or know-how developed or refined during the engagement, provided that such use does not disclose Client Confidential Information.

5.3 Website Content

All content published on the Companys website, including text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips, digital downloads, data compilations, and software, is the exclusive property of GHO GROUP, LLC or its content suppliers and is protected by United States and international copyright laws.

6. Fees and Payment Terms

All fees for Services are set forth in the applicable Service Agreement. In the absence of a Service Agreement, no fees are charged for website access or general inquiries. The following terms apply to all paid engagements unless modified by the Service Agreement.

6.1 Fee Structure

The Company may charge fees on a fixed-price, time-and-materials, retainer, or milestone basis as agreed in the Service Agreement. Fee estimates provided prior to execution of a Service Agreement are good-faith approximations based on the information available at the time and may be revised upon further discovery or changes in scope. The Client will be notified of any material changes to the estimated fees before additional costs are incurred.

6.2 Invoicing and Payment

Invoices are issued according to the schedule specified in the Service Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed, payment is due within thirty calendar days of the invoice date.

7. Confidentiality

Both the Company and the Client acknowledge that during the course of their relationship, each may receive or have access to confidential and proprietary information belonging to the other party.

7.1 Definition of Confidential Information

Confidential Information includes all non-public information disclosed by one party to the other, whether in written, oral, electronic, or other form, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and circumstances of disclosure.

7.2 Exclusions

Confidential Information does not include information that is or becomes publicly available through no breach of these Terms, is already in the receiving partys possession without confidentiality obligations, is independently developed by the receiving party without use of the disclosing partys Confidential Information, or is rightfully obtained by the receiving party from a third party without confidentiality restrictions.

7.3 Duration

The obligations of confidentiality shall survive the termination or expiration of any Service Agreement and shall continue for a period of five years from the date of disclosure, or indefinitely with respect to trade secrets and personal data, for which the confidentiality obligation shall remain perpetual.

8.1 Service Warranty

The Company warrants that Services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards. If any Service is not performed to this standard, the Company will, at its option and as the Clients sole and exclusive remedy, re-perform the affected Service at no additional charge or refund the fees attributable to the non-conforming Service.

The Companys total aggregate liability to the Client for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or any Service Agreement, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall not exceed the total amount of fees actually paid by the Client to the Company during the twelve-month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. This limitation applies regardless of whether the claimed damages are based on breach of contract, negligence, or any other cause of action, and even if the remedy fails of its essential purpose.

The limitations set forth in this section shall not apply to damages arising from the Companys gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or infringement of the Clients intellectual property rights, or to the extent such limitations are prohibited by applicable law.

10. Indemnification

The Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GHO GROUP, LLC, its parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and subcontractors from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) arising out of or related to the Clients breach of these Terms of Service or any Service Agreement, the Clients violation of applicable laws or regulations, the Clients infringement or misappropriation of any third-party intellectual property rights, or the Clients unauthorized use of any Deliverables provided by the Company.

The Company shall promptly notify the Client of any claim subject to indemnification and shall reasonably cooperate with the Client in the defense of such claim. The Client shall have sole control over the defense and settlement of any claim, provided that the Client shall not enter into any settlement that imposes any obligation on or admission of liability by the Company without the Companys prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

11.2 Termination for Cause

Either party may terminate a Service Agreement immediately upon written notice if the other party materially breaches any provision of the agreement and fails to cure such breach within fifteen days after receiving written notice describing the breach in reasonable detail, or if the other party becomes insolvent, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or becomes the subject of a bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceeding.

11.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, the Client shall pay all outstanding fees and expenses, return or destroy all Confidential Information belonging to the Company, and cease all use of any Company-owned intellectual property. The Company shall deliver to the Client all completed and in-progress Deliverables for which payment has been received.

12. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance under these Terms of Service or any Service Agreement to the extent such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the affected party, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, fire, flood, earthquake, epidemic, pandemic, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, government actions, embargoes, internet or telecommunications failures, or supply chain disruptions. The affected party shall notify the other party as soon as reasonably practicable of the nature and expected duration of the force majeure event and shall use diligent efforts to mitigate its effects and resume performance.
