// 1. Agreement to these terms
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the websites, platforms, applications, and services (together, the "Services") provided by Roderick Consulting Inc. ("RCI", "we", "us", or "our"), a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Texas, United States. By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization, and "you" refers to that organization. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
Where you access a platform under a separate written agreement between RCI and your organization, that agreement governs and prevails over these Terms to the extent of any conflict.
// 2. The services
RCI provides digital consulting, software platforms, business-intelligence tools, and related hardware and services for industrial and energy operations. Some Services are public; others require registration, an invitation, or a contract, and may be subject to additional terms presented at the point of access. We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services, in whole or in part, at any time.
// 3. Accounts and access
- You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
- You must provide accurate, current, and complete information and keep it up to date.
- Access to certain platforms is granted by invitation or contract only, and may be limited to named users within your organization.
- You must notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security.
- We may suspend or terminate access that we reasonably believe violates these Terms, poses a security risk, or is required to be suspended by law.
// 4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the Services for any unlawful, infringing, or fraudulent purpose;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to any system, account, or data, or probe or test the vulnerability of our systems without authorization;
- interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any software, except to the extent that restriction is prohibited by law;
- use automated means to scrape, harvest, or collect data from the Services without our prior written permission;
- misrepresent your identity or affiliation, or introduce malware or other harmful code.
// 5. Intellectual property
The Services, including all software, content, designs, text, graphics, and marks, are owned by RCI or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Services for their intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or create derivative works from any part of the Services except as expressly permitted by us in writing or by applicable law.
// 6. Customer data
As between you and RCI, your organization retains all rights in the data it submits to or generates within a platform we operate for it ("Customer Data"). We process Customer Data only to provide and support the Services, in accordance with our agreement with your organization and our Privacy Policy. You are responsible for the accuracy and lawfulness of the Customer Data you provide and for having the rights necessary to provide it.
// 7. Third-party services
The Services may link to or interoperate with third-party services (for example Google and Microsoft authentication). Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and RCI is not responsible for them.
// 8. Disclaimer of warranties
The Services are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including 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 secure, or that any defect will be corrected.
// 9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, RCI and its officers, employees, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the Services. RCI's total liability for any claim arising out of or related to the Services will not exceed the greater of the amounts you paid to RCI for the Services in the twelve months before the claim, or one hundred US dollars (US$100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
// 10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold RCI harmless from any claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.
// 11. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the state and federal courts located in Montgomery County, Texas will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services, and you consent to their jurisdiction and venue.
// 12. Changes to these terms
We may modify these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. For material changes we will take reasonable steps to notify you. Your continued use of the Services after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
