By accessing or using the Site or Services, you (“you” or the “Client”) agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Site or Services.
1. Acceptance of These Terms
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and HMW Consulting Co.

We may update these Terms from time to time as described in Section 16 below.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age and capable of forming a legally binding contract to use the Services. If you use the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms, in which case “you” and “Client” refer to that organization.
3. Our Services
VSS Secure Pros provides fractional data science, AI, and data-strategy advisory services, along with related informational content and digital products made available through the Site. Information published on the Site is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute professional, legal, financial, or investment advice. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk.
4. Engagements, Proposals, and Scope of Work
Consulting and advisory engagements are governed by a separate written proposal, statement of work, or services agreement (each, an “Engagement Agreement”) executed between you and HMW Consulting Co. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a signed Engagement Agreement, the Engagement Agreement controls with respect to that engagement. No engagement is binding until accepted in writing by an authorized representative of HMW Consulting Co.
5. Fees, Payment, and Taxes
- Fees for Services are set out in the applicable Engagement Agreement, order, or checkout page. Unless stated otherwise, all fees are quoted and payable in U.S. dollars.
- Payment is due according to the terms specified at the time of purchase or in the applicable Engagement Agreement. Late payments may be subject to suspension of Services and reasonable interest or collection costs to the extent permitted by law.
- You are responsible for all applicable sales, use, value-added, and similar taxes, excluding taxes based on our net income.
- Except where required by law or expressly stated in writing, fees are non-refundable once Services have been rendered or digital products delivered.
6. Digital Products and License
Where the Site offers downloadable guides, frameworks, templates, or other digital products, and subject to your payment of any applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use such products for your own internal business purposes. You may not resell, redistribute, sublicense, or publicly share these products without our prior written consent.
7. Intellectual Property
The Site and its contents—including text, graphics, logos, frameworks, methodologies, and software—are owned by or licensed to HMW Consulting Co and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited rights expressly granted in these Terms or an Engagement Agreement, no right, title, or interest in the Site or Services is transferred to you. Ownership of deliverables produced under a specific engagement is governed by the applicable Engagement Agreement.
8. Acceptable Use
You agree not to: (a) use the Services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation; (b) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, our systems, or other users’ data; (c) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Site; (d) reverse engineer, copy, or create derivative works from the Services except as permitted by law; or (e) use any automated means to access the Site in a manner that sends more requests than a human could reasonably produce.
9. Confidentiality
Each party may receive confidential information from the other in connection with the Services. Each party agrees to protect the other’s confidential information using at least reasonable care and to use it only as necessary to perform under these Terms or an Engagement Agreement. This obligation does not apply to information that is publicly available, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law.
10. Third-Party Links and Services
The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services that we do not control. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third party. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk and subject to their terms.
11. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SITE, CONTENT, AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY PARTICULAR RESULT OR BUSINESS OUTCOME WILL BE ACHIEVED.
12. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL HMW CONSULTING CO BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR SERVICES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless HMW Consulting Co and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.
14. Term and Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site or Services at any time, with or without cause or notice, including if we believe you have violated these Terms. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including intellectual property, confidentiality, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law—will survive.
15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Services are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any dispute that is not subject to alternative resolution will be the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. The parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute informally before initiating formal proceedings.
16. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version on this page with a new effective date. Changes take effect when posted. Your continued use of the Site or Services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
17. General Provisions
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms, together with any applicable Engagement Agreement and our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site and Services. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
