Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions govern your use of the Lightspeed Consulting Services website and the services we provide. Please read them carefully.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using this website, contacting us, or engaging Lightspeed Consulting Services ("Lightspeed," "we," "us," or "our") for services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use this website or our services. If you are using our website or services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these terms.

2. Description of Services

Lightspeed Consulting Services provides professional consulting services for telecommunications infrastructure projects, including field engineering and audits, aerial utility permitting, underground right-of-way permitting, and network design and drafting. The specific scope, deliverables, schedule, and fees for any engagement are defined in a separate written agreement, proposal, or statement of work between Lightspeed and the client. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and Conditions and a signed written agreement, the signed agreement controls for that engagement.

3. User Responsibilities and Acceptable Use

When using this website or communicating with us, you agree that you will:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information when you contact us or submit information through this website;
• Use the website only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of, or restrict the use of the website by, any third party;
• Not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the website, its hosting infrastructure, or any systems or networks connected to it;
• Not introduce viruses, malware, or other harmful code, or take any action that imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure;
• Not copy, scrape, or harvest content or data from the website for commercial purposes without our prior written consent.

4. Payment Terms

Fees for services are set out in the applicable proposal, statement of work, or services agreement. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, invoices are due within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Late payments may accrue interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law. We reserve the right to suspend work on an engagement if invoices remain unpaid past their due date. Clients are responsible for any applicable taxes other than taxes on our income.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

All content on this website — including text, graphics, logos, images, and design elements — is the property of Lightspeed Consulting Services or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any website content without our prior written permission.

Ownership of work product and deliverables produced under a client engagement is governed by the applicable written agreement for that engagement. Unless that agreement provides otherwise, we retain ownership of our pre-existing tools, templates, methodologies, and know-how, and the client receives the rights in final deliverables specified in the agreement upon payment in full.

6. Text Messaging

By providing your phone number, you consent to receive text messages from us related to our services. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out at any time, or reply HELP for assistance.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Lightspeed Consulting Services and its owners, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including lost profits, lost revenue, loss of data, or business interruption — arising out of or related to your use of this website or our services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or related to any engagement will not exceed the amounts actually paid by the client to Lightspeed for the services giving rise to the claim during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to liability. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

This website and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. Except as expressly stated in a signed written agreement, we make no warranties regarding our services, and we disclaim all implied warranties to the maximum extent permitted by law. Nothing on this website constitutes engineering, legal, or financial advice for your specific circumstances; deliverables prepared under an engagement are governed by the terms of that engagement.

9. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to this website at any time, without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms and Conditions or applicable law. Termination of client engagements is governed by the applicable written agreement; where no agreement addresses termination, either party may terminate an engagement with written notice, and the client remains responsible for fees and approved expenses incurred through the effective date of termination. Provisions of these terms that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, limitation of liability, disclaimers, and governing law — will survive.

10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or your use of this website that is not resolved informally will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Texas, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. Changes take effect when posted. Your continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
