WEBSITE TERMS OF SERVICE
Effective Date: 7 April 2026
1. Overview
These Website Terms of Use apply to your access to and use of the NetShield Security website.
By accessing or using this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you should not use this website.
In these Terms, “NetShield Security,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to NetShield Security. “You” refers to any person who accesses or uses this website.
Nothing on this website authorises any person to test, scan, access, interfere with, disrupt, probe, exploit, assess, or attempt to assess any system, network, account, device, application, service, website, infrastructure, or data without explicit permission from the lawful owner or authorised representative.
NetShield Security only performs cybersecurity reviews, network security health checks, remediation work, testing, maintenance, and related services within an agreed scope and with proper authorisation.
2. Website Purpose
This website provides general information about NetShield Security and our cybersecurity, network security, risk review, remediation, and maintenance services.
The information on this website is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute professional, technical, legal, compliance, risk management, or cybersecurity advice tailored to your specific business, systems, network, users, risks, or operating environment.
These Website Terms of Use apply to use of this website only. Paid services provided by NetShield Security, including Network Security Health Checks, audits, remediation work, configuration services, advisory services, ongoing maintenance, and support arrangements, are governed by separate written proposals, statements of work, service terms, authorisations, agreements, or other written engagement documents.
If there is any inconsistency between these Website Terms of Use and a signed written agreement for paid services, the signed written agreement will apply to the relevant paid services.
3. No Client Relationship
Accessing this website, reading information on this website, submitting an enquiry, downloading material, or contacting NetShield Security does not create a client relationship, advisory relationship, service provider relationship, or duty to act.
A client relationship is only formed when NetShield Security expressly accepts an engagement in writing, including through an approved proposal, statement of work, service agreement, authorisation, or other written engagement document.
We may accept, decline, or request further information about any enquiry at our discretion.
4. No Reliance on Website Information
While we aim to provide accurate, relevant, and useful information, we make no representation or warranty that the content on this website is complete, accurate, current, suitable for your circumstances, or free from error.
You should not rely solely on information from this website when making business, operational, technical, financial, legal, compliance, insurance, procurement, or cybersecurity decisions.
Cybersecurity decisions should be based on your specific environment, business risk, assets, users, suppliers, obligations, and threat exposure. You should obtain appropriate professional advice before acting on information published on this website.
5. No Cybersecurity Guarantees
Cybersecurity outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
Any references on this website to security, protection, risk reduction, hardening, monitoring, resilience, remediation, improvement, or better security posture are general in nature.
Actual outcomes depend on many factors outside our control, including your systems, users, devices, network configuration, third-party providers, software vendors, cloud platforms, internet service providers, business processes, physical controls, user behaviour, threat activity, and the scope of any work authorised by you.
No website content, checklist, service description, article, claim, example, or general statement should be interpreted as a guarantee that your systems will be secure, breach-free, compliant, uninterrupted, or protected from all threats.
6. Authorised Security Work Only
NetShield Security does not support, encourage, authorise, or condone unauthorised access, testing, scanning, exploitation, interference, disruption, credential use, data access, or system assessment.
Any cybersecurity review, security health check, vulnerability assessment, configuration review, remediation work, or related activity performed by NetShield Security must be carried out under an agreed scope and with appropriate written authorisation.
You are responsible for ensuring that you have the authority to request any work involving systems, networks, accounts, devices, software, infrastructure, premises, data, or services.
Where you request work involving third-party systems, managed service providers, cloud platforms, landlords, vendors, franchise systems, shared infrastructure, or external accounts, you must ensure that all necessary permissions, approvals, notices, and consents have been obtained before work begins.
