By accessing the ATLAS website or engaging our services, you agree to these terms. Service-specific terms are governed by the engagement agreement signed for each individual audit or compliance engagement, which takes precedence over this document where they conflict.

The website and its content are provided for informational purposes. You may not republish, scrape, or redistribute site content without written permission. Service descriptions, pricing, and case-study placeholders are illustrative and subject to change without notice.

All audit and compliance services are delivered under a written engagement agreement. Each engagement agreement specifies scope, fee, guarantee terms (where applicable), customer data handling, deployment method, and dispute-resolution mechanics. The zero-data architecture described on our Services page is the architectural commitment; the specific controls for any given engagement are documented in that engagement's agreement.

The Full Shadow IT & Shadow AI Audit is priced as a fixed fee and is backed by a self-funding guarantee: if the audit does not identify recoverable waste worth at least 2× the fee, ATLAS refunds the difference, subject to the dispute-resolution process defined in the engagement agreement. The SaaS Cost-Recovery service is a separate, contingency-pricing offer and does not carry an identical guarantee.

Information shared on the discovery call, during scoping, and during an active engagement is governed by mutual confidentiality obligations in the engagement agreement. Public descriptions of services and architecture do not constitute confidential information.

The ATLAS name, Contour Field motif, and audit methodology are proprietary to ATLAS. The engagement report delivered to a customer is owned by the customer; ATLAS retains the underlying methodology and any aggregated, anonymized insights developed across engagements.

Site content is provided 'as is' for informational purposes. Service guarantees apply only to the engagement agreement they are written into. Readiness deliverables — including CMMC 2.0 Readiness Audit — are explicitly readiness and gap-remediation consulting, not certification. See our About page for the full disclaimers.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ATLAS's aggregate liability arising from or related to a single engagement is limited to the fees paid by the customer for that engagement. The full limitation language and any carve-outs are documented in the engagement agreement, which takes precedence over this section.

The governing law and venue are specified in the engagement agreement. For the website itself, the law is the State of Maryland, USA, unless otherwise specified by the engagement agreement.

We will post the effective date at the bottom of this page. Substantive changes will be highlighted on the site for at least 30 days.
