Legal

Terms of service

The terms governing your use of behindthesla.com.au and engagement with Behind The SLA.

1. Independence commitment

Behind The SLA operates as an independent technology advisory. We do not deliver managed services, accept vendor commissions, or maintain referral partnerships that influence our recommendations. This independence is the entire basis of our service.

2. Our services

We provide advisory services including MSP oversight, technology strategy, independent advisory, virtual CTO, and AI implementation consulting. Specific engagement scope, deliverables, timelines, and fees are documented in a separate engagement letter.

3. Confidentiality

All client information shared in the course of engagement is treated as strictly confidential. We will not disclose client identity, engagement details, or proprietary information without express written consent. Our internal team and any subcontractors are bound by equivalent obligations.

4. Intellectual property

Reports, recommendations, and deliverables prepared specifically for a client become the property of that client upon payment of fees. Generic frameworks, methodologies, and pre-existing materials remain the intellectual property of Behind The SLA.

5. Limitations of liability

Our liability for any claim arising from our services is limited to the fees paid by the client for the specific engagement giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or punitive damages. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Australian law.

6. Engagement terms

Specific engagement terms (scope, fees, timing, payment) are set out in the engagement letter. These website terms govern your use of the site only; the engagement letter governs the advisory relationship.

7. Website acceptable use

You may access this site for personal or business research. You may not scrape content programmatically, attempt to gain unauthorised access, or use the site for any unlawful purpose. Our content is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute formal advice without a signed engagement.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. Any dispute will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria.
