These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of edwinparrisjr.com (the "Site"), the personal professional website of Edwin J. Parris Jr. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

The Site is a personal professional portfolio describing my background, experience, education, and selected projects. The Site does not offer, sell, or provide products or professional services. Any professional services I provide are offered separately from this Site and are governed by separate written agreements.

Content on the Site is provided for general informational purposes and reflects my personal professional experience and opinions. It is not, and should not be relied on as, security, compliance, legal, financial, or other professional advice for your specific situation. You should consult a qualified professional before acting on anything described here. Using the Site, or submitting a message through the contact form, does not create a client, consulting, or other professional relationship. Please do not send confidential or sensitive information through the contact form.

The Site references employers, organizations, and compliance frameworks (for example, entertainment studios, healthcare and research institutions, defense-adjacent organizations, MPA/TPN, HIPAA, CMMC, and NIST publications) solely to describe my professional history and the environments in which I have worked, in most cases as an employee of the organization involved. All third-party names, logos, and trademarks are the property of their respective owners. No affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from any referenced organization is claimed or implied. Nothing on the Site should be read as stating that work described here was performed by or on behalf of any company I own or operate unless that is expressly stated.

Unless otherwise noted, the content of the Site — including text, page layouts, and original images — is owned by Edwin J. Parris Jr. and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, revocable license to view the Site for personal and professional-evaluation purposes. You may not reproduce, republish, or systematically extract Site content without prior written permission. Brief quotations with attribution and a link to the Site are welcome.

You agree not to: use the Site for any unlawful purpose; interfere with or disrupt the Site's operation; use automated tools to scrape, harvest, or bulk-download Site content; misrepresent your identity or affiliation; or attempt to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Site, or circumvent any security or authentication measure, without prior written authorization.

Information you submit through the contact form is handled as described in the Privacy Policy. By submitting a message, you confirm that the information is accurate and that you have the right to share it.

The Site contains links to third-party websites, such as LinkedIn, provided for convenience. I do not control those sites and am not responsible for their content or practices. Your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

The Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted availability. I do not warrant that the Site will be error-free or free of harmful components.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Edwin J. Parris Jr. will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, or for loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the Site. To the maximum extent permitted by law, total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the Site will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (USD $100).

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Edwin J. Parris Jr. from claims, damages, and reasonable expenses arising out of your misuse of the Site or your violation of these Terms.

I may update these Terms from time to time. Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised effective date, and your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute relating to the Site or these Terms will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in California.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and me regarding use of the Site.
