4. Limitation of Liability
4a. Cap on Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL METAMORPHOSIS CONSULTING, LLC’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO CLIENT FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES — WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY — EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY CLIENT TO METAMORPHOSIS CONSULTING, LLC FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE ONE (1) CALENDAR MONTH IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT THAT GAVE RISE TO THE CLAIM.

- BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY;
- COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES OR PROCUREMENT OF REPLACEMENT GOODS;
- DAMAGES ARISING FROM UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO, OR ALTERATION, THEFT, OR DESTRUCTION OF, CLIENT’S DATA, TRANSMISSIONS, OR SYSTEMS;
- DAMAGES ARISING FROM ANY SECURITY BREACH, RANSOMWARE ATTACK, CYBERATTACK, OR DATA LOSS, EVEN IF METAMORPHOSIS CONSULTING, LLC HAD BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
THESE EXCLUSIONS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE OR METAMORPHOSIS CONSULTING, LLC HAD BEEN ADVISED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY.
4c. Essential Basis
Client acknowledges that the limitations of liability set forth in this Section 4 are a fundamental element of the basis of the bargain between the parties and that Metamorphosis Consulting, LLC would not have entered into this Agreement without such limitations. These limitations apply notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy.
4d. Notice of Claims
Client must provide written notice of any claim against Metamorphosis Consulting, LLC within ninety (90) days of the date on which Client first becomes aware of the circumstances giving rise to the claim. Failure to provide timely notice shall bar the claim in its entirety.
5. Cybersecurity Services — Special Disclaimers
Client expressly acknowledges and agrees that:
- No cybersecurity solution, tool, or service can guarantee the prevention of all security breaches, cyberattacks, ransomware incidents, data theft, or unauthorized access. Metamorphosis Consulting, LLC makes no guarantee that its Cybersecurity Services will prevent any particular security incident.
- Cybersecurity threats evolve continuously. Our services are designed to reduce risk, not to eliminate it. Client assumes all residual risk associated with operating in a connected technology environment.
- Client is responsible for maintaining an appropriate security posture within its own environment, including keeping software and systems patched and updated, enforcing access controls, training employees, and following security best practices recommended by Metamorphosis Consulting, LLC.
- Metamorphosis Consulting, LLC does not provide legal, regulatory, or compliance advice. Any guidance provided in connection with Cybersecurity Services is operational in nature and does not constitute advice regarding HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, or any other regulatory framework. Client assumes full responsibility for its own regulatory compliance.
- The Cyber Insurance Fast Track Program is designed to assist Client in improving its security posture and does not guarantee that Client will qualify for, obtain, or maintain any particular cyber insurance policy, rate, or coverage.
6. Web Hosting — Uptime, SLA, and Service Credits
6a. Uptime Objective
Metamorphosis Consulting, LLC strives to maintain a monthly uptime percentage of 99.9% for web hosting services (“Uptime Objective”). The Uptime Objective is a target and is not a guarantee or warranty. We are dependent on underlying third-party infrastructure providers, data centers, network carriers, and internet backbone services that are outside our direct control.
6b. Sole and Exclusive Remedy — Service Credit
In the event that web hosting services experience unplanned downtime that causes the monthly uptime percentage to fall below 99.9% in any given calendar month, and such downtime is directly attributable to Metamorphosis Consulting, LLC (and not to any Excluded Event as defined below), Client’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be a credit equal to one (1) month of the hosting fees paid by Client for the affected service (“Service Credit”).
Service Credits must be requested in writing within thirty (30) days following the end of the affected calendar month. Credits will be applied to the Client’s next invoice and have no cash value. Only one (1) Service Credit is available per calendar month regardless of the duration or number of separate downtime events. Service Credits are Client’s exclusive remedy for any service interruption and shall not be construed as an admission of fault or liability.
6c. Excluded Events
The following events are excluded from uptime calculations and do not give rise to Service Credits:
- Scheduled maintenance windows communicated at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance;
- Force Majeure Events as defined in Section 7;
- Acts or omissions of Client, including unauthorized modifications, misconfigurations, or overloading of hosted resources;
- Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, cyberattacks, or other malicious acts directed at Client’s hosted environment;
- Failure or degradation of third-party services not under our direct operational control, including internet service providers, cloud infrastructure providers (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), domain registrars, or CDN providers;
- DNS propagation delays;
- Downtime periods of less than five (5) consecutive minutes;
- Client’s failure to maintain current payment on its account.
7. Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such delay or failure is caused by circumstances beyond that party’s reasonable control, including but not limited to:
- Acts of God, including earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, ice storms, lightning, wildfires, and other natural disasters;
- Pandemic, epidemic, public health emergency, or government-mandated quarantine;
- Acts of war, terrorism, civil unrest, insurrection, or riot;
- Failure of third-party infrastructure, data centers, internet backbone providers, or power grids;
- Actions or inactions of governmental bodies, including regulatory orders, embargoes, or sanctions;
- Strikes, labor disputes, or other workforce disruptions not caused by the affected party;
- Widespread cyberattacks or infrastructure failures affecting the industry broadly;
- Any other event beyond a party’s reasonable control despite the exercise of commercially reasonable precautions (each, a “Force Majeure Event”).
The party affected by a Force Majeure Event shall: (a) promptly notify the other party in writing; (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact and resume performance as quickly as practicable; and (c) keep the other party informed of progress toward resumption. If a Force Majeure Event prevents performance for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, either party may terminate the affected Service Order upon written notice without further liability.
8. Disaster Recovery Services
8a. Nature of Disaster Recovery Services
Where Disaster Recovery or Business Continuity services are included in a Service Order, Client acknowledges and agrees that:
- Disaster Recovery services are designed to reduce recovery time and data loss in the event of a disaster. They do not eliminate the risk of data loss, recovery failure, or extended downtime.
- Successful recovery depends on factors outside Metamorphosis Consulting, LLC’s control, including the integrity of Client’s source data, the condition of Client’s hardware and network infrastructure, the nature and scope of the disaster event, third-party software and platform dependencies, and the cooperation and responsiveness of Client’s personnel.
- Metamorphosis Consulting, LLC does not guarantee any specific recovery time objective (RTO) or recovery point objective (RPO) unless such specific objectives are expressly stated in a signed Service Order. Any RTO or RPO stated in a Service Order represents a target, not a guarantee.
- We do not guarantee the integrity or completeness of backup data. Client is responsible for periodically verifying backups and notifying us promptly of any detected failures.
- Cloud or virtual disaster recovery environments are provided for emergency use and temporary operation only and are not intended as permanent production environments.
8b. Liability in Disaster Recovery Scenarios
In the event of a data loss, recovery failure, or extended outage, Metamorphosis Consulting, LLC’s total liability shall be limited as set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement. Client expressly waives any claim for lost profits, lost data value, business interruption, or other consequential damages arising from a disaster recovery event.
8c. Client Responsibilities
Client is responsible for: (a) maintaining adequate and current backups independent of any Disaster Recovery Services provided by us; (b) promptly testing recovery procedures when requested; (c) maintaining and providing accurate documentation of its IT environment; and (d) notifying Metamorphosis Consulting, LLC immediately upon detecting any incident that may trigger a disaster recovery event.
9. Client Responsibilities
Client agrees to:
- Provide Metamorphosis Consulting, LLC with timely access, information, authorizations, and cooperation reasonably necessary to perform the Services;
- Maintain a safe and lawful IT environment and refrain from using Services in connection with any unlawful activity;
- Ensure that all software, content, and systems provided or made accessible to Metamorphosis Consulting, LLC are properly licensed and do not infringe the rights of any third party;
- Notify Metamorphosis Consulting, LLC promptly of any known or suspected security incident, breach, or unauthorized access;
- Maintain independent backups of all critical data, regardless of any backup services provided under this Agreement;
- Implement and enforce security policies and employee training as recommended by Metamorphosis Consulting, LLC;
- Remain current on all undisputed payments throughout the term of the engagement.
Metamorphosis Consulting, LLC shall not be liable for any failure or degradation of Services caused directly or indirectly by Client’s failure to meet its responsibilities under this Section.
10. Confidentiality
Each party may receive confidential or proprietary information belonging to the other party (“Confidential Information”). Each party agrees to: (a) hold the other party’s Confidential Information in strict confidence; (b) use Confidential Information only for purposes of performing or receiving Services under this Agreement; and (c) not disclose Confidential Information to any third party without the disclosing party’s prior written consent, except to employees or contractors who need to know such information and who are bound by confidentiality obligations no less protective than those set forth herein.
Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party; (b) was known to the receiving party prior to disclosure; (c) is independently developed without use of Confidential Information; or (d) is required to be disclosed by law, regulation, or court order, provided the receiving party gives prompt written notice and cooperates with any effort to limit disclosure.
11. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise specified in a signed Service Order, all work product, deliverables, tools, methodologies, frameworks, software, and intellectual property created by Metamorphosis Consulting, LLC in connection with the Services remain the sole property of Metamorphosis Consulting, LLC. Upon full payment of all fees, Client receives a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use deliverables for Client’s internal business purposes.
Client retains all ownership of its pre-existing data, content, and intellectual property provided to Metamorphosis Consulting, LLC. Client grants us a limited license to use such materials solely to the extent necessary to perform the Services.
