13. PRIVACY POLICY; INFORMATION SECURITY

We care about data privacy and security. Please review our Privacy Policy:      https://dopel.com/privacy. By using the Site, you agree to be bound by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms and Conditions. Please be advised the Site is hosted in the United States. If you access the Site from any other region of the world with laws or other requirements governing personal data collection, use, or disclosure that differ from applicable laws in the United States, then through your continued use of the Site, you are transferring your data to the United States, and you agree to have your data transferred to and processed in the United States.

A.  Physical Security.

We will exclusively use Google Cloud Platform (“GCP”) for the provisioning of data center facilities. GCP meets the physical security requirements appropriate for the processing and storage of customer data and we will regularly review the GCP certification of its data center facilities.  Our offices will not store tangible customer data in any form. Office facilities are protected with locks, cameras, and alarm systems.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, customer data may be temporarily downloaded onto Company-owned laptops for data analysis and/or troubleshooting.  Laptops are security-hardened with a configuration that includes full-disk encryption, enforced password authentication, automatic screensaver with password unlock, and malware protection.

B.  Network, Storage, and Hosting Security.

We will ensure customer data under our control traversing any public network will be end-to-end encrypted using TLS 1.2 or better, and a cipher suite adhering to the recommendations of NIST SP 800-52 of at least AES128-SHA256 or better.  We will store all customer data transmitted to us in GCP Storage containers set with encryption-at-rest to AES256 or better; or in our databases encrypted to AES256 or better; or to online backups (“snapshots”) stored in GCP set with encryption-at-rest to AES256 or better. Only NIST-approved ciphers and modes will be used for encryption. We will not store customer data on removable media (e.g. tapes, removable disks, flash drives, etc.) in the normal course of business.  Any transfer of customer data via removable media is prohibited without the  customer’s written approval.  We will implement appropriate tools, equipment and mechanisms in the environment of, and within, the application designed to reduce the risk of unauthorized access to customer data. Such tools may include deployment of firewalls, intrusion detection systems, malware detection, and malware interception software. We will monitor all such tools, and assess and take steps to address any incidents of which it becomes aware without undue delay.

C. Logging and Monitoring.

We will continuously monitor infrastructure, network, storage, and system performance.  We maintain intrusion detection systems that log events to our security team in real-time. Additional security logs are generated for periodic review by the security team including failed and successful login attempts. Security logs are retained for a period of at least one year.

14. TERM AND TERMINATION

These Terms and Conditions shall remain in full force and effect while you use the Site. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR LIABILITY, DENY ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SITE (INCLUDING BLOCKING CERTAIN IP ADDRESSES), TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY REASON OR FOR NO REASON, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FOR BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR COVENANT CONTAINED IN THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW OR REGULATION. WE MAY TERMINATE YOUR USE OR PARTICIPATION IN THE SITE OR DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT AND ANY CONTENT OR INFORMATION THAT YOU POSTED AT ANY TIME, WITHOUT WARNING, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.

If we terminate or suspend your account for any reason, you are prohibited from registering and creating a new account under your name, a fake or borrowed name, or the name of any third party, even if you may be acting on behalf of the third party. In addition to terminating or suspending your account, we reserve the right to take appropriate legal action, including without limitation pursuing civil, criminal, and injunctive redress.

16. GOVERNING LAW

These Terms and Conditions and your use of the Site are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed within the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Informal Negotiations

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms and Conditions (each "Dispute" and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.

Binding Arbitration

If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, we will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in San Francisco, California. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in San Francisco, California, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms and Conditions.

In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Site be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

Restrictions

The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration

The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

18. CORRECTIONS

There may be information on the Site that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, including descriptions, pricing, availability, and various other information.

25.  LIMITATION ON PENETRATION TESTING POLICY

Purpose
This policy outlines the limitations and guidelines for conducting penetration testing on the organization’s network, systems, and applications. The goal is to ensure that penetration testing is conducted securely, legally, and in a controlled manner to protect the organization’s assets, data, and reputation, while minimizing risks associated with testing activities.

Scope
This policy applies to all users, customers, employees, contractors, third-party vendors, and authorized security personnel involved in the execution or oversight of penetration testing on any of the Company’s systems, applications, or infrastructure.

A. Authorized Personnel and Permissions

• Only authorized personnel or third-party security professionals with explicit written consent from the Company’s IT and legal departments are permitted to conduct penetration testing.
• Prior to testing, the scope and objectives of the penetration test must be clearly defined and approved by appropriate stakeholders, including IT security, legal, and compliance teams.
• The use of external third-party vendors must be governed by a formal agreement that includes confidentiality clauses, liability limitations, and data handling requirements.

B. Testing Scope Limitations

• Predefined Systems Only: Penetration testing may only be conducted on systems, applications, and networks that have been explicitly approved for testing. Any system or service outside the approved scope is strictly off-limits.
• No Testing on Production Systems Without Approval: Penetration testing on live production environments requires specific, case-by-case approval and must be scheduled to minimize disruption to normal business operations.
• Exclusion of Critical Systems: Critical systems, such as those related to financial transactions, healthcare data, or sensitive personal information, are excluded from penetration testing unless specially approved and additional precautions are in place.
• Customer-Facing Services: Testing on systems that directly interact with customers, such as e-commerce platforms or customer portals, must be conducted during off-peak hours to prevent service disruption.

C. Legal and Compliance Requirements

• Compliance with Laws: All penetration testing activities must comply with applicable local, state, federal, and international laws, including but not limited to data privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).
• Notification to Service Providers: If testing involves third-party or cloud-hosted environments (e.g., AWS, Microsoft Azure), explicit permission from the service provider must be obtained before testing.
• Non-Disclosure Agreements: All personnel conducting penetration testing must sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to ensure confidentiality of the findings, vulnerabilities, and sensitive data accessed during testing.

D. Testing Methods and Tools

• Use of Approved Tools: Only authorized and pre-approved tools are permitted for use during penetration testing. Any unapproved or risky methods (such as brute force attacks) that could disrupt services or damage systems are prohibited.
• No Destructive Testing: Testing methods that may lead to data loss, system unavailability, or permanent damage (e.g., Denial of Service attacks, data corruption) are strictly forbidden.
• Simulated Attacks Only: All attacks must be simulated. No real malicious activity (such as the creation of backdoors or exploitation of vulnerabilities for unauthorized data access) is permitted.

E. Reporting and Remediation

• Immediate Reporting of Critical Issues: Any critical vulnerabilities discovered during the penetration testing process must be immediately reported to the Company’s IT security team and relevant stakeholders for rapid response and remediation.
• Final Report: A detailed penetration testing report, including the scope, methods, vulnerabilities found, risk assessment, and recommended remediation, must be submitted to the Company’s IT and security management upon the conclusion of the testing.
• Remediation Timeline: All discovered vulnerabilities must be remediated in accordance with the Company’s vulnerability management policy, with critical vulnerabilities addressed on a priority basis.

F. Monitoring and Auditing

• Activity Logging: All penetration testing activities must be logged and monitored to ensure compliance with this policy and to provide a detailed audit trail in the event of an issue.
• Audit Review: Regular reviews of penetration testing activities, results, and compliance with this policy will be conducted by internal or external auditors.

G. Sanctions

• Disciplinary Actions: Unauthorized or negligent actions during penetration testing that violate this policy or cause harm to the Company’s systems or data may result in disciplinary actions.
• Legal Consequences: Any unauthorized penetration testing activities may result in legal consequences, including civil or criminal liability for individuals or third-party vendors.
