Acceptance of These Terms
These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of the website and services provided by Adapt Forward, LLC. By accessing our website, submitting an inquiry, or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must not use our website or services.
These terms form a legally binding agreement between you and Adapt Forward, LLC. Please read them carefully before using our website or entering into any engagement with us. We recommend that you keep a copy of these terms for your records and review them periodically, as they may be updated from time to time.
In addition to these terms, specific engagements may be governed by a separate written agreement such as a statement of work, a master services agreement, or a proposal that you accept. Where a separate agreement exists, its terms will control to the extent that they conflict with these general terms.
Description of Services
Adapt Forward, LLC is a computer systems design and related services firm. Our work includes systems architecture, custom software development, systems integration, cloud and infrastructure services, and legacy modernization. We operate within the Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services sector, with a focus on computer integrated systems design.
The specific services we provide in any engagement are defined in the applicable proposal, statement of work, or other written agreement between the parties. The descriptions on our website are provided for general information and do not, by themselves, create a binding obligation to perform any particular service.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of our website or any described service at any time without prior notice, provided that any such change does not affect our obligations under an existing written agreement.
Depending on the engagement, our services may be delivered remotely, on site, or through a combination of the two. We typically work in short, visible cycles so that you can review progress regularly and provide feedback before work advances too far. We also provide documentation and, where agreed, training so that your team can operate and maintain the systems we build.

Subject to your compliance with these terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to access and view our website for your personal or internal business use. This license does not grant you any rights to our software, source code, or other proprietary material except as expressly set out in a written agreement.
If you provide us with feedback, suggestions, or ideas about our services, you agree that we may use that feedback without restriction and without any obligation to compensate you. This does not apply to confidential information or to content and data you provide under an engagement, which remain yours as described elsewhere in these terms.
Client Content and Data
In the course of providing services, we may receive, process, or store content and data that you provide or that is generated on your behalf. As between you and Adapt Forward, LLC, you retain ownership of all rights in and to your content and data.
You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to access, use, and process your content and data solely to the extent necessary to provide the services and to comply with our legal obligations. This license does not transfer ownership of your content or data to us.
You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to provide your content and data to us and that our use of that content and data in accordance with these terms will not violate the rights of any third party or any applicable law.
Fees and Payment
The fees for our services are set out in the applicable proposal, statement of work, or other written agreement. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, fees are payable in accordance with the payment terms stated in that agreement.
You agree to pay all fees when due and to reimburse us for any reasonable expenses that are authorized in advance and documented. Late payments may be subject to interest or suspension of services as described in the applicable agreement.
Unless otherwise stated, all fees are exclusive of applicable taxes. You are responsible for any sales, use, value-added, or similar taxes that may apply to the services we provide, except for taxes based on our income.
Invoices are typically issued electronically and are payable in United States dollars unless another currency is agreed in writing. If a payment is disputed in good faith, you agree to notify us promptly and to continue paying any undisputed amounts on time. We reserve the right to pause or stop work if invoices remain unpaid beyond the agreed terms.
Confidentiality
Each party may disclose to the other certain confidential information in connection with an engagement. Confidential information includes non-public business, technical, and financial information that is identified as confidential or that would reasonably be understood to be confidential given the circumstances of its disclosure.
Each party agrees to protect the confidentiality of the other party by using the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential information, and in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Confidential information may be used only for the purpose of performing obligations under the applicable agreement.
The obligations in this section do not apply to information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party, that was already lawfully known to the receiving party, or that must be disclosed to comply with a legal requirement.
These confidentiality obligations continue for the duration of the engagement and for a period of three years afterward, unless a longer period is agreed in writing or required by law. Each party will return or securely destroy confidential information belonging to the other party upon request, except where retention is required for legal or archival purposes.
Warranties and Disclaimers
We will perform our services in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards. Except as expressly stated in a written agreement, our website and services are provided on an as-is and as-available basis.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that our website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
We make no representation or warranty regarding the results you may achieve through the use of our services. You acknowledge that the success of any project depends on factors beyond our control, including your participation and the accuracy of information you provide.
We do not guarantee that any particular business outcome, revenue target, or performance metric will be achieved as a result of our services. We provide systems and technology in accordance with agreed specifications, and outcomes depend on how those systems are adopted and operated by your team.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Adapt Forward, LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or related to your use of our website or services.
Our total aggregate liability arising out of or related to these terms or the services will not exceed the amount paid by you to Adapt Forward, LLC for the specific service giving rise to the claim during the twelve months preceding the event. Where a separate written agreement sets out a different limitation, that limitation will control.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some or all of the limitations above may not apply to you. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
The limitations and exclusions in this section form an essential part of the agreement between the parties and apply regardless of the theory of liability, whether contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, even if a party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Adapt Forward, LLC, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or related to your use of our website or services or your violation of these terms.
This obligation includes claims arising from content or data you provide, your breach of any representation or warranty under these terms, or your violation of the rights of any third party. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you.
Termination
These terms remain in effect until terminated by either party. You may stop using our website and services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to our website or services at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe that you have violated these terms or engaged in conduct that is harmful to us or to others.
Termination of an engagement governed by a separate written agreement will be subject to the termination provisions of that agreement. Upon termination, provisions that by their nature should survive will continue to apply, including intellectual property, confidentiality, fees, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification.
On termination, we will make reasonable efforts to return to you any materials, data, and documentation belonging to you, provided that you have paid all outstanding amounts. You will return or destroy any materials belonging to us that were provided to you during the engagement.
Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them will be governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The parties agree that the state and federal courts located in South Carolina will have jurisdiction over any dispute.
Before pursuing formal legal action, the parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute through direct negotiation. If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation, either party may seek available remedies in the appropriate court. Each party waives any right to a jury trial to the fullest extent permitted by law.
If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any term will be considered a further or continuing waiver of that term or any other term.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our services, our practices, or applicable law. When we make changes, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. Material changes may be highlighted with a more prominent notice.
Your continued use of our website or services after any changes to these terms constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree with the updated terms, you should stop using our website and services. We recommend reviewing these terms periodically.
