2. The Site Is Not an Engagement

The Site provides information about SAGE and a means to contact us and provide us information about you. Using the Site, submitting an inquiry, or receiving a response does not create an investigator and client relationship or any contract for services. Investigative services are provided only under a separate written engagement agreement signed by SAGE and the client, which governs those services and controls over these Terms as to their subject matter.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time. 

3. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 18 to use the Site. If you use a client portal or account, you are responsible for your credentials and for all activity under your account, and must notify us of any unauthorized use.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to, and not to allow others to, use the Site to:

1. Violate any law or the legal rights (including privacy and intellectual property rights) of others.
2. Interfere with or compromise the security or integrity of the Site, including by introducing malicious code or circumventing access controls.
3. Scrape, harvest, or use automated means to extract content or data from the Site without our written permission.
4. Attempt to reverse engineer or derive the source of any part of the Site.
5. Misrepresent your identity or affiliation, or submit false intake information.
6. Use the Site or any information obtained from it to harass, stalk, surveil, profile, or harm any individual.

You retain ownership of the information and materials you submit through the Site. You grant SAGE a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, host, store, and process such information and materials as necessary to operate, maintain, improve, and provide the Site and our business and to respond to your inquiries. 

6. Usage Data

We may collect and use data reflecting how the Site is accessed and used, including frequency, duration, features used, and session, click, and analytics data ("Usage Data"), to operate, secure, analyze, and improve the Site and our services and software.

You acknowledge that we collect Usage Data describing how visitors access and interact with the Site, and that we may use service providers, including third-party analytics providers, to collect and process this Usage Data on our behalf. We use Usage Data to operate, secure, measure, and improve the Site and our services, and software, to assess the interest of prospective clients, to prioritize our outreach, and for other lawful purposes. Our collection and use of Usage Data is described in our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy.

We may share Usage Data with our service providers and, where required by law, it is aggregated and deidentified so that you cannot be identified, for any lawful purpose.

7. Client Responsibilities, Permissible Purpose, and the FCRA 

If you engage SAGE for services, you represent and warrant that you have a lawful, legitimate purpose for requesting them and for using any resulting information, and that you will use our reports and findings only for that purpose and in compliance with all applicable laws.

Where any service we provide constitutes a "consumer report" and SAGE acts as a "consumer reporting agency" under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), you agree that:

1. You will obtain and use the report only for a permissible purpose under the FCRA, and you will certify that purpose to us when required.
2. You will comply with your own obligations under the FCRA, including providing any legally required notices and adverse action notices to the individuals concerned.
3. FCRA covered services are provided under a separate written agreement that includes FCRA specific terms, which controls over these Terms as to its subject matter.

You also agree to comply with other laws that may apply to your use of information we provide, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and the Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA), and applicable state investigations and privacy laws. You will indemnify SAGE for claims arising from your unlawful or unauthorized use of information we provide.

8. Confidentiality

To the extent authorized by the law, the parties may wish, from time to time, in connection with work contemplated, to disclose confidential information to each other (“Confidential Information”).  Each party will use reasonable efforts to prevent the disclosure of any of the other party’s Confidential Information to third parties.

Each party will protect the other's confidential information with at least reasonable care, use it only as disclosed or permitted, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with these Terms and who are bound by confidentiality obligations to the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective than this section.

This Section does not limit the more specific confidentiality obligations in any engagement agreement.

Some exceptions to this are if the Confidential Information 

a.    is or later becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the recipient party;

b.    is received from a third party having no obligations of confidentiality to the disclosing party;

c.    is independently developed by the recipient party; or

d.    is required by law or regulation to be disclosed.

In the event that information is required to be disclosed pursuant to subsection d. and to the extent authorized by the law, the party required to make disclosure shall notify the other to allow that party to assert whatever exclusions or exemptions may be available to it under such law or regulation.

‍

9. Disclaimers

THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT. 

Content on the Site is general information, not legal, investigative, or professional advice, and creates no expectation of any particular result. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted or error free.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS OR DATA, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED [$100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR SITE ACCESS, IF ANY].

11. Indemnification

You will indemnify and defend SAGE against third party claims arising from your use of the Site, your submitted content, your breach of these Terms, or your unlawful or unauthorized use of information obtained through us. Standard notice and cooperation procedures apply, and neither party will settle a claim binding the other without consent.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time for breach or as needed to comply with law or protect the Site. Provisions that by their nature should survive (confidentiality, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification) will survive.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES DISPUTES TO BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Governing Law. These Terms, and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site, are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to the arbitration provisions below, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Delaware for any matter not subject to arbitration.

Informal Resolution. Before initiating arbitration, you agree to first contact us at rbusa@sageintell.com with a written description of the dispute and the relief sought. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days from that notice.

Binding Arbitration. If the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be finally settled by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator, administered by JAMS or the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with that organization's then-current applicable rules. The arbitration will be seated in Delaware and may be conducted by videoconference or in person as the arbitrator directs. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision.

Class Action Waiver. You and SAGE agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. If this Class Action Waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request (and only that claim or request) will be severed and resolved in court, while all remaining claims proceed in arbitration.

Injunctive and Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an action in the state or federal courts located in Delaware seeking injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent or stop actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights, breach of confidentiality obligations, or unauthorized access to or use of the Site, without first engaging in informal resolution or arbitration.

Severability. If any portion of this Section 13, other than the Class Action Waiver, is found unenforceable, that portion will be severed and the remainder of this Section will remain in effect.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms. For material changes, we will post the updated Terms and, when required by law, provide notice at least 15 days before it takes effect and/or notify you before they take effect 

Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance, except where the law requires affirmative consent. 

15. State License Information

SAGE Intelligence Group is a licensed investigations and security agency. Information about which states we are licensed in and license numbers are located on our landing page, https://www.sageintelligencegroup.com/

16. General Provisions

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and SAGE regarding your use of the Site and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, communications, and proposals regarding that subject matter. These Terms do not supersede, modify, or limit any separate written agreement you have signed with SAGE including any engagement agreement, master services agreement, or data processing addendum each of which governs its own subject matter and controls over these Terms to the extent of any conflict.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by us, and a waiver of one breach will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, or any rights or obligations under them, without our prior written consent, and any attempted assignment in violation of this provision is void. We may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets. These Terms bind and benefit the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.

Force Majeure. We will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, fire, flood, epidemic or pandemic, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, governmental action, power or network failures, or failures of third-party services or suppliers.

Relationship of the Parties. The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship between you and SAGE.

Survival. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination including those concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, and these general provisions will survive termination of these Terms.

Electronic Communications. By using the Site, you consent to receive communications from us electronically, and you agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of these Terms.

Notices. We may provide notices to you by posting them on the Site, by email to the address associated with your communications with us, or by other reasonable means. Notices are effective when sent or posted.
