Our handling of personal information — including information collected in connection with the SMS alert program — is described in our Privacy Policy, which shares the same effective date as these terms. We do not sell personal information.

All content on bearcanyonhq.com — including text, briefings, graphics, logos, and system descriptions — is owned by BCS or its licensors and protected by applicable intellectual property law. You may share and quote published content with attribution and a link. You may not republish substantial portions, resell, or use our marks without written permission.

Descriptions of BCS methods, platforms, and architecture are provided for informational purposes and do not grant any license or transfer of rights.

When you send us an inquiry, please do not include confidential or sensitive information before we have a written agreement in place. Unsolicited ideas or materials are not treated as confidential.

The site relies on third-party providers for hosting, communications, and content delivery, and may link to external sites such as our publications, podcast, or partner platforms. We do not control third-party content or practices and are not responsible for them. Each provider is governed by its own terms and privacy policy.

Content on this site is informational and does not constitute professional, legal, financial, or engineering advice, and it is not an offer to enter into an engagement. Client and partner work is governed exclusively by a separate written agreement between BCS and the client. Where these terms conflict with such an agreement, that agreement controls.

The site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that automated alerts will be delivered on time.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, BCS is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or data, arising from your use of the site or SMS alerts. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless BCS and its personnel from claims, losses, and expenses arising from your misuse of the site or violation of these terms or applicable law.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Arizona, unless a separate written agreement provides otherwise.

We may update these terms periodically. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of bearcanyonhq.com after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
