Terms of service

Use of the website

By using this site, you agree to use it only for lawful, respectful, and business-appropriate purposes. The content is provided for informational use and should not be treated as a substitute for a signed service agreement or a scoped project plan.

Informational use only

The website describes our database services, including design, implementation, optimization, maintenance, and support. While we aim to keep information current and accurate, we do not guarantee that every page is complete, error-free, or suitable for every business situation.

Nothing on this site creates a contract by itself. Project specifics are confirmed separately through a statement of work, proposal, or written agreement.

Acceptable conduct

  • Do not attempt unauthorized access, scraping, or disruption.
  • Do not submit illegal, harmful, or misleading requests.
  • Do not misuse forms, contact details, or protected content.

Intellectual property and links

All text, layout, graphics, and site-specific materials are protected by applicable intellectual property laws unless stated otherwise. You may view the site for legitimate business purposes, but you may not copy, republish, or redistribute content without permission.

External links are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for the content, availability, privacy practices, or business terms of third-party websites. Use outside links at your own discretion.

Service agreement

Service engagement terms

Any database project requires a separate statement of work or other written approval before work begins. This keeps scope, timelines, responsibilities, and deliverables visible from the start.

Project scope and deliverables

Each engagement should define the environment, deliverables, milestones, access requirements, and expected support window. If the scope changes, the parties should document the change before additional work proceeds.

Typical deliverables may include schema planning, implementation, performance tuning, maintenance routines, backup checks, and operational guidance. Specific deliverables depend on the project.

Client responsibilities

  • Provide timely access to systems, credentials, and stakeholders.
  • Maintain ownership of backups before any change window.
  • Review recommendations and approvals promptly.
  • Disclose known constraints, dependencies, and legacy issues.

Limitation of liability

We take reasonable care when handling database work, but no service provider can eliminate every risk. Unless a separate written agreement says otherwise, our total liability for direct claims related to a project is limited to the service fees paid for the specific engagement giving rise to the claim.

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or business interruption damages to the extent allowed by law. Clients remain responsible for maintaining current backups and disaster-recovery planning.

Governing law

Disputes and governing law

These terms are interpreted under the laws of the State of North Carolina. If a disagreement arises, the goal is to resolve it quickly, in good faith, and with minimal disruption to operations.

1
Notice and informal review

Before formal action, the parties should try to resolve the issue through written notice and a direct discussion of the facts, scope, and requested remedy.

2
Binding arbitration

If the matter cannot be resolved informally, it may be submitted to binding arbitration, unless a different resolution method is required by a written agreement or applicable law.

3
Venue and jurisdiction

When court action is permitted, the state and federal courts located in North Carolina are the agreed venue, subject to mandatory legal requirements.

Review the service terms before your next project.

If you have questions about scope, liability, or the way we structure a database engagement, contact us before work starts. Clear expectations make better systems.
