We maintain strict confidentiality regarding all Client information obtained in the course of providing Services. We will not disclose any confidential information to third parties without your prior written consent, except as required by law or professional standards.

We implement appropriate security measures to protect Client data. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.

Our liability for any claims arising from or related to the Services, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client for the specific Services giving rise to the claim in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

5.2 Exclusions

We shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to lost profits, lost revenue, or business interruption, regardless of the theory of liability.
