Legal
Website Terms of Use
Hines Consulting Services, a trade name of HCSRVCS LLC
By using www.hcsrvcs.com (the “Site”), you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Site.
1. Information only, not advice
The Site describes our services for general information. Nothing on it is technical, security, legal, accounting, tax, or other professional advice, and you shouldn’t rely on it as advice for your situation.
2. No engagement
Using the Site, submitting the contact form, or exchanging initial messages does not by itself create a consulting engagement or authorize us to perform services. We provide services only under a separate written agreement signed by both parties. Our Privacy Notice and applicable privacy and security duties still govern information you send us, and any confidentiality or services agreement already signed between us remains in effect. A website inquiry does not authorize us to access any system, account, or data. The form is not a channel for confidential documents, credentials, or regulated data, so please don’t send them.
3. Our content
We (or our licensors) own the Site’s content, including its text, graphics, logos, and design. You may view and share Site pages for your own information or to evaluate our services. Please don’t copy, modify, republish, or commercially use the content without our written permission.
4. Acceptable use
Don’t misuse the Site. That includes attempting to gain unauthorized access, probing or scanning it for vulnerabilities, interfering with its operation, sending spam or malicious code through the form, or using automated tools to scrape it.
5. Other sites and services
The Site may link to, or rely on, services we don’t control, such as Formspree for the contact form. Those services have their own terms and privacy practices, and we don’t control their independent websites. This section doesn’t limit our own responsibilities for choosing and using service providers or for handling information as described in our Privacy Notice and applicable law.
6. Disclaimer
THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DON’T PROMISE THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.
These disclaimers do not override our Privacy Notice, any express obligations in a signed agreement, or duties and liabilities that applicable law does not allow us to disclaim.
7. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HINES CONSULTING SERVICES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR BUSINESS, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
8. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute about the Site will be brought in the state or federal courts serving Lee County, Florida, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction.
9. Privacy
Our Privacy Notice explains how we handle information submitted through the Site.
10. Changes
We may update these terms by posting a new version with a new effective date. Updates apply going forward from that date. We’ll present material changes conspicuously, and where your agreement is needed, we’ll obtain it before relying on the changed terms. A website update never amends a signed agreement between us.
11. Contact
Questions about these terms can be sent through the contact form on this site.
