Terms of Service

By accessing or using criticalip.mba, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site. References to "Critical IP," "we," "us," or "our" mean MainBoard, LLC dba Critical IP, a Virginia limited liability company in business since 2004.

Critical IP is a marketing name and fictitious name of MainBoard, LLC. Services are provided by MainBoard, LLC d/b/a Critical IP. Critical IP provides business advisory, executive visibility, digital presence, brand-risk, marketing strategy, and intangible asset review services for businesses across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

This website provides general information about those services. It does not by itself create a customer relationship, a binding quote, or a service order. A customer relationship is created only by a separately signed Master Service Agreement (MSA), Service Order Form (SOF), Statement of Work (SOW), or equivalent written agreement between you and Critical IP.

Many services we arrange are delivered by underlying carriers, manufacturers, or software vendors under their own terms, tariffs, acceptable use policies, and service level agreements. We will work to identify, negotiate, and hold those third parties accountable on your behalf, but the underlying services are ultimately provided by them, and their terms apply to those services.

Pricing, availability, and timelines shown or discussed informally are estimates. Binding pricing and commitments are set forth only in an executed MSA, SOF, or SOW. We reserve the right to correct pricing, availability, or technical errors in any informal communication.

You agree not to:

• Use this site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the site or related systems.
• Interfere with or disrupt the site, servers, or networks connected to the site.
• Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information.
• Scrape, harvest, or systematically copy content without written permission.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Critical IP, its affiliates, or their respective owners, members, managers, officers, employees, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, business interruption, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the site, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Critical IP and its affiliates from and against any third-party claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the site, or your violation of applicable law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The exclusive venue for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the site is the state or federal courts located in Fairfax County, Virginia, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts. Customers located in Canada or Mexico agree that these provisions apply to their use of this informational website; service-specific agreements may provide different governing-law or dispute-resolution terms.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
