1. The Services

4. Customer Data and Responsibilities

"Customer Data" means data, content, and materials submitted to the Services by you or on your behalf (including policies, evidence artifacts, scan inputs, and operational logs).

You represent you have the rights and permissions to submit Customer Data.

You are responsible for:

• Configuring the Services appropriately for your compliance obligations,
• Reviewing outputs before relying on them for legal, regulatory, or safety decisions,
• Maintaining independent compliance programs as required.

You acknowledge that the accuracy and usefulness of any readiness assessment, scoring, or gap analysis generated by the Services depends entirely on the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of the network diagrams, policies, architectural descriptions, and other evidence that you submit or maintain within AxiomGuardOS.

5. Disclaimer of Certification and Professional Services

AxiomGuardOS provides readiness tools and gap analysis based on United States Department of Defense guidelines and related public frameworks. We do not provide official CMMC certifications. Use of the Services does not guarantee a passing score from a Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO), nor does it constitute formal legal advice, certified public accountant attestation, or a guarantee that you will obtain or retain contracts with the United States Department of Defense or any other governmental or commercial counterparty.

6. Confidentiality

Each party may receive confidential information. You agree to protect confidential information using reasonable care and to use it only for purposes of providing or using the Services. Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that is public through no fault of the recipient or independently developed without use of confidential information.

7. Intellectual Property

• We own the Services, including software, design, and underlying technology.
• You retain rights to your Customer Data.
• Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Services during the subscription term.

8. Feedback

If you provide feedback or suggestions, you grant us a royalty-free, worldwide license to use it without obligation, so we can improve the Services.

9. Beta Features

Some features may be labeled "beta" or "preview." Beta features are provided as-is, may change, and may not be supported.

10. Availability and Support

We aim for high availability, but the Services may be unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or events outside our control. Support levels, if any, depend on your subscription or written agreement.
