Terms of Use

Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Use are a binding agreement between you and Breakaway Cyber, LLC (“Breakaway,” “we,” “us”), a Virginia limited liability company. By accessing or using 2breakaway.com, you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the site.

If you use the site on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” refers to both you and it.

What these terms cover

These terms govern the website only. They do not govern the services we provide to clients, candidates, or technology partners. Those relationships are governed by separate written agreements — master services agreements, statements of work, task orders, placement agreements, or representation agreements — and where such an agreement conflicts with these terms, that agreement controls for the subject matter it covers.

Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these terms by reference.

Permitted use of the site

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the site for your own informational and business evaluation purposes. You may print or download individual pages for internal reference provided you do not remove any proprietary notices.

All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

Prohibited conduct

You agree not to:

• Use the site for any unlawful purpose, or in violation of any applicable export control, sanctions, or government contracting regulation.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site, its hosting infrastructure, or any connected system or account.
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the site, or breach or circumvent any security or authentication measure, without our prior written permission.
• Introduce malware, or take any action that imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure or interferes with its operation.
• Use automated means to scrape, harvest, or collect content or contact information from the site, except for search engine crawlers operating in accordance with our robots directives.
• Submit false information, impersonate another person or organization, or misrepresent your affiliation.
• Use the contact form to send bulk solicitations, advertising, or other unsolicited commercial messages.
• Reproduce, republish, or redistribute site content for commercial purposes, or create derivative works from it, without our written permission.
• Remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice.

Because we work in security, we take testing of our systems seriously. If you believe you have found a vulnerability in this site, we would rather hear from you than not: email info@2breakaway.com with the details and give us a reasonable opportunity to address it before disclosing it publicly.

Your submissions

When you send us information through the contact form or by email, you confirm that the information is accurate, that you are entitled to provide it, and that providing it does not breach any obligation you owe to a third party.

You retain ownership of what you send. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, store, and reproduce your submission for the purpose of responding to you, evaluating a potential engagement, and operating our business. We will handle personal information in your submission as described in the Privacy Policy.

No confidentiality in unsolicited material

Do not send us confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information through this website. A message sent through the contact form or to a published email address is not confidential, and no non-disclosure agreement applies to it unless we have signed one with you first.

This matters in our line of work. We evaluate competing technologies, advise buyers on selection, and receive inbound material from many companies in the same market. If you want to share something sensitive — architecture detail, roadmap, pricing, or source material — tell us at a high level that you would like to, and we will put an appropriate agreement in place before you send it.

Subject to any agreement we do sign, you agree that we may use ideas, concepts, know-how, and techniques contained in any unsolicited submission for any purpose, without obligation or compensation to you.

Intellectual property

The site, and its text, graphics, layout, design, code, and arrangement, are owned by Breakaway or its licensors and are protected by United States and international intellectual property laws. “Breakaway” and the Breakaway mark are trademarks of Breakaway Cyber, LLC.

Other names, marks, and logos referenced on the site are the property of their respective owners. Their appearance does not imply endorsement of Breakaway by those owners, except where we describe a partnership expressly.

Our representation model

The site describes our practice of representing one technology per market segment and not promoting competing products. That is a description of how we choose to operate, and of a commitment we make in writing to the technology companies we represent. It is not an offer, and it does not by itself create any exclusivity, representation, or agency relationship between us and you.

Any exclusive representation arrangement arises only under a signed agreement that defines the relevant market segment, the term, and the obligations of both parties.

Market figures and forward-looking statements

The site cites third-party research on artificial intelligence adoption and investment. Those figures come from sources we consider reliable, but we have not independently verified them, they describe conditions at the time of the underlying survey, and they may be superseded. They are provided for general context and should not be relied on as the basis for a business decision.

Statements about anticipated outcomes, market direction, or the results of an engagement are forward-looking and inherently uncertain. Nothing on the site is a guarantee of any particular commercial, technical, or hiring outcome.

No professional advice or engagement

Content on the site is general information about our capabilities. It is not cybersecurity, technical, compliance, legal, financial, or investment advice, and it is not tailored to any organization’s circumstances. Security and compliance decisions depend on facts specific to your environment, your data, your contracts, and your regulatory obligations.

Using the site, submitting the contact form, or corresponding with us does not create a client relationship, a consulting engagement, or any duty on our part to act for you. An engagement begins only when both parties sign a written agreement describing the work.

Third-party sites and references

The site may link to or reference websites, organizations, and technologies operated by others. We provide those links and references for convenience. We do not control those parties, we do not endorse everything they publish, and we are not responsible for their content, products, practices, or security. Your dealings with them are between you and them.

Disclaimer of warranties

The site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Breakaway disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the site or its hosting infrastructure is free of harmful components. You are responsible for your own security controls, including maintaining current software and appropriate protections on the systems you use to access the site.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Breakaway and its members, officers, employees, contractors, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the site, whether based in contract, tort, strict liability, or any other theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or related to the site will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (USD 100).

These limits apply to the site only. Liability arising from a signed services agreement is governed by the limitation of liability provisions in that agreement.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or death or personal injury caused by negligence.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Breakaway and its members, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from any claim, demand, loss, liability, or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of your use of the site, your breach of these terms, your violation of any law, or your infringement of a third party’s rights. We may assume the exclusive defense of any matter subject to indemnification, at your expense, and you agree to cooperate with that defense.

Suspension and termination

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the site or any part of it at any time, and we may restrict or block access from any person or network that we reasonably believe has violated these terms, without notice and without liability. The sections of these terms that by their nature should survive — including submissions, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law — survive any termination of your access.

Governing law and venue

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. You and Breakaway agree that the exclusive venue for any dispute arising out of or related to these terms or the site is the state or federal courts located in Loudoun County, Virginia, US, and each party consents to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

If you access the site from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local law.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms from time to time. The effective date at the top of the page shows when the current version took effect. Changes apply from the date they are posted, and your continued use of the site after that date means you accept them. If a change is material, we will take reasonable steps to make it noticeable.

General provisions

• Entire agreement. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the complete agreement between you and Breakaway regarding the site, and supersede any prior understanding on that subject.
• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions stay in force.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
• Assignment. You may not assign these terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• No third-party beneficiaries. These terms create no rights in anyone other than you and Breakaway.
• Force majeure. Neither party is liable for a failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
• Government users. Any access or use by a United States government entity is subject to the restrictions on commercial computer software and commercial items in the Federal Acquisition Regulation and applicable agency supplements.
