Terms of Use & Legal Notices

The ground rules for using this website.

Acceptance

By using this website you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the site. Actual consulting engagements are governed by their own written agreements, which control over anything on this page.

Informational content, not professional advice

Everything published on this site is general information, not legal advice and not a compliance determination for your organization. CMMC requirements depend on your contracts, your scope, and the current state of DoD rulemaking, all of which change. In particular, no consultant and no software can certify you: CMMC Level 2 certification decisions are made by authorized C3PAOs, and self-assessment obligations rest with you. Talk to us, or to qualified counsel, before acting on anything you read here.

Intellectual property

The content of this site, including text, graphics, logos, and the Deka-Forge name, belongs to CyberDeka Solutions LLC unless otherwise noted. You may read, link to, and quote it with attribution. You may not republish substantial portions, or use our name or marks to imply endorsement, without written permission. CMMC is a program of the U.S. Department of Defense; references to it, to NIST publications, and to federal regulations are references to public government works.

Acceptable use

Do not attempt to disrupt the site, probe or attack it, or use the contact form to send unlawful, deceptive, or bulk unsolicited content. We are a security company; unsolicited "penetration testing" of this site is neither authorized nor impressive.

Third-party links and services

The site may link to third-party resources, such as official DoD and NIST publications. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or availability.

No warranties

This site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We work to keep content current and accurate, especially as CMMC rulemaking evolves, but we do not warrant that any of it is error-free or up to date at the moment you read it.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, CyberDeka Solutions LLC is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of this site or reliance on its content. If we are found liable despite the sentence above, our total liability related to the site is limited to one hundred U.S. dollars. Engagements under a signed agreement are governed by that agreement's terms instead.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute about this website will be brought in the state or federal courts serving Virginia.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page tells you when they last changed. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
