5. Service Terms & Performance

Service Agreements

All professional services are governed by a written Service Agreement or SOW. In the event of conflict between these Terms and a signed Service Agreement, the Service Agreement shall prevail for the specific scope it covers.

Service Level Agreements

Where applicable, response time and uptime commitments are defined in individual Service Agreements. General performance standards stated on our website are illustrative and not contractually binding unless incorporated into a signed agreement.

Third-Party Services

Many of our services involve third-party carriers, software platforms, and hardware manufacturers. We are not liable for outages, price changes, or service modifications by third-party providers, though we will make commercially reasonable efforts to minimize impact on your operations.

Client Responsibilities

You agree to provide S2 with reasonable access to systems, facilities, and personnel necessary to deliver agreed services. Delays caused by your failure to provide required access may result in project delays and additional charges.

6. Payment & Billing

Fees

Service fees are set forth in the applicable Service Agreement or SOW. All fees are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified.

Payment Terms

• Invoices are due net 30 days from the invoice date unless otherwise agreed in writing
• Late payments are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month (18% annually) on the outstanding balance
• S2 reserves the right to suspend services for accounts more than 30 days past due

Recurring Services

Managed services, monitoring, and subscription-based services are billed monthly or annually as specified in your Service Agreement. Annual contracts paid monthly are subject to automatic renewal unless cancelled in accordance with the notice provisions in your Service Agreement.

Disputed Invoices

If you dispute a charge, you must notify us in writing within 15 days of the invoice date. Undisputed amounts remain due. We will work in good faith to resolve billing disputes promptly.

Taxes

You are responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, and government fees associated with your purchase, except for taxes based on S2's net income.

7. Confidentiality

Both parties acknowledge that in connection with services, each may have access to the other's confidential and proprietary information ("Confidential Information"). Each party agrees to:

• Hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence
• Not disclose Confidential Information to third parties without prior written consent
• Use Confidential Information only for the purposes of the services engagement
• Protect Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care used for its own confidential information, but no less than reasonable care

This obligation does not apply to information that is publicly known, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law or court order.

8. Intellectual Property

S2's Property

All content on this website — including text, graphics, logos, design, code, and documentation — is the property of S2 Network Solutions or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our express written permission.

Unless otherwise specified in a Service Agreement, custom work product created specifically for you (such as network designs, configurations, and installation documentation) becomes your property upon full payment. S2 retains ownership of its pre-existing tools, methodologies, frameworks, and any general-purpose intellectual property.

Your Data

You retain ownership of all data and information you provide to S2 in connection with services. You grant S2 a limited license to use your data solely as necessary to provide the contracted services.

10. Disclaimers

Technology services inherently involve risks including but not limited to data loss, system downtime, and security breaches. While S2 employs industry-standard practices to minimize these risks, we cannot guarantee complete protection against all potential adverse events.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

• S2 SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, BUSINESS, OR GOODWILL
• S2'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR OUR SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU TO S2 IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM

• Any other reason at our sole discretion

Termination of service agreements is governed by the specific terms of your signed Service Agreement, including any applicable notice periods and early termination fees. Upon termination, your right to use our services ceases immediately.

Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including payment obligations, confidentiality, intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitations of liability) shall survive.

14. Governing Law

These Terms and any disputes arising from them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of courts located in California for any legal proceedings.

15. Dispute Resolution

Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal legal proceeding, both parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute through direct negotiation for a period of 30 days from written notice of the dispute.

Arbitration

If informal resolution fails, disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in California. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding.

Class Action Waiver

You agree that any arbitration or legal proceeding will be conducted on an individual basis and not as a class action, collective action, or representative proceeding.

Exceptions

Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm, including for intellectual property infringement or misappropriation of confidential information.

16. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date and may notify active clients by email. Your continued use of our website or services after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
