Terms of Service

Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website valerisadvisorygroup.com (the “Site”), operated by Valeris Advisory Group (“Valeris,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you should not use the Site.

Description of Services

Valeris Advisory Group provides strategic advisory and fractional executive services. The Site serves as an informational resource about our services, expertise, perspectives, and contact information. Content on the Site — including articles, case studies, and service descriptions — is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute professional advice.

Use of the Site

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

• Use the Site in any way that violates any applicable federal, state, local, or international law or regulation
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Site, its servers, or any systems connected to the Site
• Use any automated means (including bots, scrapers, or spiders) to access, monitor, or copy Site content without our prior written consent
• Introduce viruses, malware, or other harmful material to the Site
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Site
• Attempt to circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security features of the Site, including firewalls, rate limiting, CAPTCHA challenges, or login protections
• Impersonate or attempt to impersonate Valeris Advisory Group, a Valeris employee, or any other person or entity
• Engage in any activity that generates an unreasonable volume of requests to our servers (such as denial-of-service attacks or excessive automated requests)

Security Monitoring and Automated Protections

To protect the integrity of the Site and its users, we employ automated security measures that may affect your access, including:

• Firewall Protection: Incoming requests are automatically scanned for malicious patterns (such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and path traversal attacks). Requests identified as threats are blocked automatically.
• Rate Limiting: Excessive requests from a single IP address within a short period may be temporarily throttled or blocked.
• Login Protection: Repeated failed login attempts will result in a temporary lockout of the originating IP address. CAPTCHA challenges may be required to verify human visitors.
• Bot Filtering: Requests from known malicious bots, empty user agents, or spoofed browser identities may be blocked without notice.
• IP Logging: IP addresses are logged in connection with security events (login attempts, blocked requests, rate limit violations) for a limited retention period as described in our Privacy Policy.

These protections operate automatically and may occasionally affect legitimate access. If you believe you have been blocked in error, please contact us.

User Accounts and Authentication

If you are provided with a user account to access restricted areas of the Site, you are responsible for:

• Maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials
• All activity that occurs under your account
• Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account
• Configuring and maintaining two-factor authentication (2FA) if required by your account role

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account that we reasonably believe has been compromised or is being used in violation of these Terms.
