Terms of Service

Last Updated: January 8, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Clearview Strategy Group website and services. By accessing or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use our services.

1. Services Description

Clearview Strategy Group ("Consultant," "we," "our," or "us") provides AI advisory, assessment, and enablement services to VARs, Systems Integrators, and mission-critical communications providers ("Client," "you," or "your"). Our services include:

  • AI Opportunity Audits: Workflow analysis, use-case prioritization, ROI modeling, and tool recommendations
  • Strategic Roadmaps: 90-day and 12-month implementation plans with KPIs and governance frameworks
  • Enablement & Training: Department-specific playbooks, adoption strategies, and team training
  • Implementation Guidance: Vendor selection support, implementation oversight, and ongoing advisory
  • Tool & Partner Referrals: Vendor-neutral recommendations and introductions to vetted implementation partners

Important: We do not provide custom software development, automation engineering, or hands-on technical implementation unless explicitly outlined in a Statement of Work ("SOW"). Implementation work is typically performed by your internal team or referred third-party vendors.

Specific services, deliverables, timelines, and pricing are outlined in individual SOWs agreed upon with each client.

2. Responsible AI Use (RAU) Policy

Purpose & Scope

This policy explains how we design, deploy, and monitor AI-assisted services and automations. It applies to all projects, environments (staging/production), and third-party AI providers we use.

Nature of Services & Limitations

Important: AI systems can produce inaccurate, incomplete, harmful, biased, or outdated results. All outputs are for informational purposes only and must be reviewed by qualified personnel before decisions or publication. We do not guarantee outcomes or regulatory compliance unless expressly stated in an SOW.

Roles & Responsibilities

  • Client: Acts as the data controller and provides lawful instructions for data processing
  • Consultant: Acts as processor/service provider for services described in the SOW
  • Owners: Named for each use case (see SOW) and maintain change logs and reviews

Data Privacy & Security

  • Do not send secrets or sensitive data through chat interfaces; use approved secure channels
  • Unless agreed in writing, Client Data is not used to train public AI models
  • Minimum controls include: RBAC/least privilege, audit logs, environment isolation, key rotation, and encrypted storage in approved systems
  • Client remains responsible for sector-specific rules (HIPAA/PCI/GLBA/FERPA/etc.) unless the SOW states otherwise

Human-in-the-Loop

No automated action that may materially affect individuals, finances, or compliance runs without human approval until controls are validated in production. Upon approval, alerts and rollback mechanisms remain in place.

3. Third-Party Providers & Changes

Services may depend on third-party tools subject to their own terms, pricing, and uptime. We do not control vendor changes. Breaking vendor changes will be communicated with remediation options.

We may use vetted subprocessors (infrastructure, analytics, automation, model providers). We maintain agreements, including DPAs, with subprocessors and will provide prior notice of material changes upon request. Data may be processed outside the U.S.; when applicable, we implement valid transfer mechanisms (e.g., SCCs/adequacy).

4. Intellectual Property

Client owns deliverables created for Client using Client Data upon full payment, unless an SOW states otherwise. Consultant retains pre-existing templates, know-how, and libraries, granting Client a non-exclusive, internal-use license.

5. Acceptable Use Policy

Deliverables and services must not be used to:

  • Violate law or third-party terms of service
  • Infringe intellectual property or privacy rights
  • Unlawfully surveil, profile, or discriminate against individuals
  • Make automated decisions that unlawfully differentiate among protected classes
  • Provide unlicensed medical, legal, or financial advice
  • Process children's data without proper authorization
  • Scrape or ingest content in violation of applicable website/API terms
  • Attempt to re-identify anonymized data
  • Disable or bypass model safety features
  • Reverse-engineer models or extract confidential prompts beyond permitted evaluation

Consultant may suspend use to prevent or mitigate harm.

6. Data Retention & Deletion

Unless the SOW states otherwise, we retain Client content and run logs for up to 90 days for support/audit purposes, after which they are deleted or anonymized. We will delete identified Client Data within 30 days of written request, subject to legal holds and backup cycles.

7. Children's Data

Services are not directed to children. Client agrees not to submit children's data. If discovered, the data will be deleted or segregated and the parties notified immediately.

8. Security Incident Response & Breach Notification

We maintain incident-response procedures. If a confirmed security incident materially affecting Client Data occurs, we will notify Client without undue delay (target: within 72 hours of confirmation) with known scope, affected systems, mitigation steps, and recommendations. Timelines may adjust if requested by law enforcement.

9. Evaluation, Monitoring & Review

Before go-live, parties agree on success measures and guardrails (accuracy/error rate; toxicity/PII leakage; bias spot-checks as applicable). We review key metrics at least quarterly (monthly for higher-risk use cases) and maintain a model/prompt change log.

10. Algorithmic Fairness & Transparency

Where use cases materially affect people, fairness checks are performed and documented. For customer-facing flows, AI assistance is disclosed in plain English, and a way to contact a human is provided.

11. Content Provenance & Labeling

When feasible, generation logs/metadata are retained to support provenance. AI-assisted content is labeled when required by policy, law, or platform rules.

12. Sector-Specific Requirements

Industry-specific obligations (e.g., HIPAA, GLBA, PCI-DSS, FERPA, COPPA, accessibility standards) are out of scope unless expressly stated in the SOW and supported by additional controls and agreements (e.g., Business Associate Agreements).

13. Governance & Audits

  • Quarterly governance check-in (30 minutes) to review metrics, incidents, and exceptions
  • Annual policy review; refresh risk assessments for significant changes
  • Maintain evidence of reviews and approvals in the project folder

14. Payment Terms

Payment terms, rates, and schedules are specified in each SOW. Unless otherwise stated, invoices are due within 30 days of receipt. Late payments may incur interest charges and/or suspension of services.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Clearview Strategy Group shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, use, or other intangible losses, resulting from:

  • Your access to or use of (or inability to access or use) the services
  • Any conduct or content of any third party on the services
  • Any AI-generated content, including inaccurate, biased, or harmful outputs
  • Unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content

Our aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount paid by you for the specific services giving rise to the claim in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

16. Warranties & Disclaimers

We provide services on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that:

  • Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free
  • AI outputs will be accurate, complete, or suitable for your purposes
  • Any defects will be corrected
  • Services will meet regulatory compliance requirements unless expressly agreed in an SOW

17. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Clearview Strategy Group and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses arising out of or in any way connected with:

  • Your use of the services
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any rights of another party
  • Your use of AI-generated content in violation of applicable laws or the Acceptable Use Policy

18. Termination

Either party may terminate an SOW according to the terms specified therein. Upon termination, you must cease all use of deliverables unless otherwise agreed. We will delete or return Client Data as requested, subject to retention requirements.

19. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the services shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration in New York, NY, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

20. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes affecting an ongoing SOW will be communicated to affected clients. Your continued use of the services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

21. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

22. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with any applicable SOW and our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Clearview Strategy Group regarding the services and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
