Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: September 2026

Overview

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the Last Inch website and apply generally to services offered by Last Inch Consulting LLC (“Last Inch,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms.

Consulting and professional services provided by Last Inch may also be governed by a separate consulting agreement, statement of work, proposal, order form, or other written agreement (“Client Agreement”). If there is a conflict between these Terms and an executed Client Agreement, the Client Agreement will control with respect to the services covered by that agreement.

Nature of Services

Last Inch provides cybersecurity, technology, operational improvement, automation, and related consulting and advisory services.

Depending on the engagement, services may include cybersecurity and technology consulting, security engineering, cloud and technology implementation, technical advisory services, operational improvement, workflow design, automation, artificial intelligence enablement, documentation, architecture, troubleshooting, and other related professional services.

The specific scope, deliverables, responsibilities, fees, and timelines applicable to a client engagement will be established separately in writing.

Last Inch provides professional advice and services based on the information available at the time of an engagement. Clients remain responsible for their business, operational, technology, security, compliance, and risk-management decisions.

Engagements and Scope of Work

Professional services will be performed according to the scope and commercial terms agreed upon between Last Inch and the client.

Depending on the engagement, those terms may be documented through a consulting agreement, statement of work, proposal, written authorization, or other mutually agreed written arrangement.

Requests that materially change the agreed scope, deliverables, capacity, or responsibilities may require additional fees or revised terms.

Unless expressly stated in a Client Agreement, information presented on this website does not constitute an offer to perform services at a particular price, within a particular timeframe, or under particular commercial terms.

Professional Services; No Guarantee of Outcomes

Last Inch will perform professional services using reasonable care, professional judgment, and generally accepted practices appropriate to the engagement.

However, technology, cybersecurity, automation, and business operations depend on numerous factors outside Last Inch’s control.

Accordingly, Last Inch does not guarantee any particular business, financial, operational, cybersecurity, compliance, technical, or other outcome.

Without limiting the foregoing, Last Inch does not guarantee complete security, prevention of every cyberattack, detection of every threat, elimination of every vulnerability, uninterrupted operation of technology systems, continuous availability of third-party services, or specific results dependent upon client or third-party actions.

Client Responsibilities

Clients are responsible for providing information, access, personnel, decisions, and cooperation reasonably necessary for Last Inch to perform agreed services.

Clients are also responsible for:

• Providing accurate and complete information relevant to the engagement;

• Maintaining appropriate authorization for systems, accounts, data, and environments to which Last Inch is granted access;

• Reviewing and approving material business or operational decisions;

• Maintaining appropriate licenses and subscriptions for third-party products and services;

• Complying with laws, regulations, contractual obligations, and third-party terms applicable to their organization; and

• Maintaining appropriate administrative, technical, and organizational controls for their systems and operations.

Last Inch is not responsible for delays, failures, security incidents, or other adverse outcomes caused by inaccurate or incomplete client information, unauthorized modification or use of deliverables, client actions or omissions, or circumstances outside Last Inch’s reasonable control.

Fees and Payment

Fees, billing arrangements, payment schedules, minimum commitments, deposits, expenses, and other commercial terms will be established in the applicable Client Agreement or other written arrangement.

Last Inch may offer services using hourly, fixed-fee, recurring, project-based, retainer, or other pricing structures.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Last Inch reserves the right to suspend services for materially overdue amounts.

Nothing published on this website establishes a guaranteed rate or pricing commitment for professional services.

Intellectual Property

Last Inch retains ownership of its pre-existing and independently developed intellectual property, including methodologies, frameworks, templates, processes, tools, scripts, techniques, know-how, reusable concepts, and other proprietary materials.

Ownership and usage rights for deliverables specifically created for a client will be governed by the applicable Client Agreement.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, a client’s rights in a deliverable do not transfer ownership of Last Inch’s underlying methodologies, tools, frameworks, know-how, or other intellectual property incorporated into or used to create that deliverable.

All website content, including text, graphics, branding, designs, and other materials, is owned by or licensed to Last Inch and may not be reproduced, distributed, or commercially used without permission.

Confidentiality

Last Inch treats confidential client information with appropriate care and will not knowingly disclose confidential or proprietary client information except as necessary to perform agreed services, as authorized by the client, or as required by applicable law.

Specific confidentiality obligations applicable to a professional engagement may be established in the applicable Client Agreement or a separate confidentiality agreement.

Nothing in these Terms restricts Last Inch from using general knowledge, experience, skills, techniques, concepts, or know-how gained through the performance of professional services, provided doing so does not disclose client Confidential Information.

Third-Party Products and Services

Last Inch may recommend, configure, integrate, implement, or otherwise work with products and services provided by third parties.

References to third-party products, platforms, vendors, or services do not constitute a guarantee or warranty regarding those third parties.

Last Inch does not control and is not responsible for third-party availability, functionality, security, performance, pricing, licensing, product changes, discontinuation, or terms of service.

Clients are responsible for maintaining any required third-party accounts, licenses, subscriptions, and contractual relationships unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Artificial Intelligence and Automation

Last Inch may use or implement automation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, or similar technologies where appropriate to an engagement.

Outputs generated or assisted by automated or artificial intelligence systems may require human review and should not be assumed to be complete, error-free, or appropriate for every use without validation.

Clients remain responsible for decisions made using automated systems or outputs unless otherwise expressly established in a Client Agreement.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Last Inch will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, consequential, or lost-profit damages arising from or relating to the use of this website or Last Inch services.

Unless otherwise provided in an applicable Client Agreement, Last Inch’s aggregate liability arising from a particular professional engagement will not exceed the fees paid to Last Inch for the services giving rise to the applicable claim.

Any limitation of liability contained in an executed Client Agreement will control with respect to services performed under that agreement.

Website Information

Information provided through this website is for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal, financial, accounting, regulatory, compliance, or other professional advice outside the scope of a specific engagement.

Website content should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice tailored to a particular organization, environment, or circumstance.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any legal action arising solely from these Terms or use of this website will be subject to the jurisdiction of courts of competent jurisdiction in Dallas County, Texas, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
