Parallel does not enter into contingent fee arrangements for soliciting or obtaining government contracts except as permitted for bona fide employees or bona fide agencies under applicable law.

3. No Client Relationship; Engagements Require a Written Agreement

The Site is provided for general informational purposes only. Your use of the Site, submission of a form, download of a resource, or communication with us does not create a client, advisory, agency, fiduciary, or other professional relationship between you and Parallel.

Parallel provides services only under a written Master Services Agreement and Statement of Work signed by authorized representatives of both parties (an “Engagement Agreement”). If these Terms conflict with an Engagement Agreement, the Engagement Agreement controls for the services it covers. Nothing on the Site is an offer to provide services, and descriptions of services, pricing approaches, or engagement models on the Site are subject to change without notice.

4. Important Disclaimers

No guarantee of results. Government procurement decisions are made solely by government officials under applicable law and regulation. Parallel does not and cannot guarantee any contract award, grant, funding, budget appropriation, program selection, teaming arrangement, investment, revenue, or other outcome.

Not legal, tax, accounting, or compliance advice. Parallel is not a law firm or accounting firm. Content on the Site, including blog posts, case studies, and downloadable reports, does not constitute legal, tax, accounting, export control, security, or regulatory compliance advice. Consult qualified professionals before acting on any information on the Site.

No government affiliation or endorsement. Parallel is a private company. Parallel is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense, any military department, or any other federal, state, local, or foreign government agency. References to government agencies, programs, contract vehicles, or officials are for descriptive and informational purposes only and do not imply endorsement. Any government names, seals, or insignia referenced on the Site belong to their respective owners.

Information may change. Budget figures, program information, regulatory references, and market analysis on the Site reflect information available at the time of publication and may become outdated. We are not obligated to update content.

5. Blog Posts, Case Studies, and Other Content

Blog posts, articles, case studies, and similar content (collectively, “Content”) are provided for general informational and marketing purposes. Case studies describe specific past engagements and do not predict or guarantee future results.

10. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site may contain links to third-party websites and services, including government websites and social media platforms. These links are provided for convenience only. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, availability, or accuracy of third-party websites. Your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

12. Changes to the Site and These Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice. We may update these Terms from time to time by posting the revised version on the Site and updating the “Last Updated” date. Changes take effect when posted. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the revised Terms. Changes will not apply to any dispute of which we had actual notice before the change was posted.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE, CONTENT, AND RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PARALLEL DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND COMPLETENESS. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY CONTENT IS CURRENT OR ACCURATE.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL PARALLEL OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, CONTRACT AWARDS, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE, CONTENT, RESOURCES, OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PARALLEL’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE, CONTENT, RESOURCES, OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).

This Section does not limit liability that cannot be limited under applicable law. This Section does not apply to services provided under an Engagement Agreement, which are governed by the liability terms of that agreement.

15. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Parallel and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to (a) your use or misuse of the Site; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your submission of Restricted Information; or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

16. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

Governing law. These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Site are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and, where applicable, the federal laws of the United States.

Informal resolution. Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact us at privacy@paralleldefense.com with a written description of the dispute and the relief you seek. Both parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

Exclusive venue. If the dispute is not resolved informally, it must be brought exclusively in the state courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, or the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. You and Parallel consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objection based on inconvenient forum. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies, and Parallel may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or the security of the Site.

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND PARALLEL KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SITE.

WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

17. U.S. Government Users

If you access the Site as an employee or representative of an agency or instrumentality of the United States Government:

Any provision of these Terms requiring indemnification by the Government, or otherwise creating an obligation that would violate the Anti-Deficiency Act (31 U.S.C. § 1341), does not apply to the Government.
Provisions regarding governing law, venue, dispute resolution, jury waiver, and class action waiver apply only to the extent permitted by federal law. Federal law governs to the extent it applies.
Nothing in these Terms obligates the Government to pay any amount or to procure any services, and these Terms do not constitute a contract, agreement, or commitment of the Government beyond what the law allows for use of a public website.
Your use of the Site does not create any obligation for Parallel to provide services to the Government, and no government official should provide any nonpublic procurement information through the Site.

Similar limitations apply to state and local government users to the extent required by their applicable law.

18. General Terms

Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Parallel regarding the Site and supersede any prior agreements regarding the Site. They do not supersede any Engagement Agreement or Non-Disclosure Agreement.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Electronic communications. You consent to receive communications from us electronically, and you agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

Survival. Sections 6, 7, 9, and 13 through 18 survive any termination of your access to the Site.

Headings. Headings are for convenience only and have no legal effect.
