Services Provided by CMEIS Ltd

CMEIS Ltd provides professional cybersecurity, digital forensics, account recovery, cryptocurrency recovery, data recovery, and private investigation services to clients worldwide. All services are delivered by certified professionals operating under verified authorisation from the client and within the full boundaries of applicable law.

The specific scope, deliverables, timeline, and terms of each individual engagement are agreed between CMEIS Ltd and the client prior to the commencement of any work. No service is commenced by CMEIS Ltd without a confirmed and documented scope of work and verified client authorisation covering the system, device, account, or digital asset that is the subject of the engagement.

CMEIS Ltd reserves the right to decline any engagement request at its sole discretion, including where the requested service falls outside our professional capabilities, where the engagement cannot be structured within the boundaries of applicable law, or where CMEIS Ltd has reasonable grounds to believe that the requested service is intended to facilitate unlawful activity.

Client Responsibilities and Authorisation Requirements

By engaging CMEIS Ltd for any service, you confirm and warrant the following:

  1. You are the legal owner of, or the authorised representative with verified legal authority over, the system, network, device, account, digital asset, or other subject matter that is the target of the requested engagement.
  2. You have obtained all necessary permissions, consents, and legal authorities required to authorise CMEIS Ltd to perform the requested service in relation to the subject matter of the engagement.
  3. All information you provide to CMEIS Ltd at the outset of and during the engagement is accurate, complete, and not intended to mislead or deceive.
  4. You will not use any deliverable, report, evidence package, or other output produced by CMEIS Ltd for any unlawful purpose or in any manner that violates applicable law or the rights of any third party.
  5. You understand that CMEIS Ltd operates exclusively under authorisation and that no service will be performed by CMEIS Ltd in relation to any system, device, account, or asset over which you do not hold legal authority.
  6. You accept full personal and legal responsibility for any false representation made to CMEIS Ltd regarding your authority over the subject matter of an engagement, and you agree to indemnify CMEIS Ltd fully against any claims, losses, costs, or liabilities arising from any such misrepresentation.

CMEIS Ltd takes the verification of client authorisation seriously on every engagement. Where CMEIS Ltd has reasonable grounds to doubt the accuracy or completeness of a client’s authorisation representation, CMEIS Ltd reserves the right to request additional verification before proceeding and to suspend or terminate the engagement if satisfactory verification is not provided.

Lawful Use of Services

CMEIS Ltd services are provided exclusively for lawful purposes. You agree that you will not use any CMEIS Ltd service, deliverable, or output to:

  1. Access, interfere with, monitor, or compromise any system, device, account, or data without the authorisation of the legal owner of that system, device, account, or data.
  2. Violate any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation.
  3. Harass, stalk, threaten, intimidate, or cause distress or harm to any individual.
  4. Facilitate any form of fraud, identity theft, financial crime, or deceptive practice.
  5. Infringe the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other legal rights of any third party.
  6. Assist, enable, or encourage any other person to engage in any unlawful activity.

Any engagement or use of CMEIS Ltd services that is found to involve or be intended to facilitate unlawful activity will be terminated immediately. CMEIS Ltd reserves the right to report any unlawful activity to the relevant law enforcement or regulatory authorities where required by law or where CMEIS Ltd considers it appropriate to do so.

Confidentiality

CMEIS Ltd treats all client engagements, communications, and information with the highest standard of professional confidentiality. The nature of the services we provide demands absolute discretion, and CMEIS Ltd is committed to maintaining that standard on every engagement.

CMEIS Ltd will not disclose the identity, engagement details, or any information relating to any client to any third party except in the following circumstances:

  1. Where the client has provided explicit written consent to such disclosure.
  2. Where CMEIS Ltd is required to make such disclosure by applicable law, a court order, or a lawful direction from a competent regulatory or law enforcement authority.
  3. Where disclosure is necessary to prevent serious harm to an individual or to report a serious criminal offence that CMEIS Ltd becomes aware of in the course of an engagement.

Clients are similarly required to treat all information provided by CMEIS Ltd, including methodologies, findings, reports, tools, and professional advice, as strictly confidential. You agree not to disclose, reproduce, distribute, publish, or share any CMEIS Ltd deliverable or proprietary information with any third party without the prior written consent of CMEIS Ltd.

Payment Terms

Payment terms for each CMEIS Ltd engagement are confirmed and agreed between CMEIS Ltd and the client prior to the commencement of any work. The specific payment structure, amount, currency, and payment method applicable to your engagement will be set out clearly at the time of engagement confirmation.

All fees agreed between CMEIS Ltd and the client are payable in accordance with the payment schedule confirmed at the outset of the engagement. CMEIS Ltd reserves the right to suspend or terminate an engagement where agreed payment terms are not met.

For information about our refund terms, please refer to the CMEIS Ltd Refund Policy at https://www.cmeis.com/refund-policy/.

Intellectual Property

All reports, documentation, methodologies, tools, templates, and other materials produced by CMEIS Ltd in the course of an engagement remain the intellectual property of CMEIS Ltd unless otherwise agreed in writing. Upon full payment of all agreed fees, CMEIS Ltd grants the client a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the deliverables produced for their engagement for the internal business or personal purposes for which the engagement was commissioned.

You may not reproduce, publish, distribute, sublicence, or commercially exploit any CMEIS Ltd deliverable or proprietary material without the prior written consent of CMEIS Ltd.

The CMEIS Ltd name, logo, website content, and all associated branding and intellectual property are the exclusive property of CMEIS Ltd. You may not use, reproduce, or misrepresent any CMEIS Ltd intellectual property without prior written authorisation.

Disclaimer of Warranties

CMEIS Ltd provides its services with professional skill, care, and diligence to the standard expected of a credentialled cybersecurity and digital forensics firm. However, the nature of cybersecurity, digital forensics, account recovery, cryptocurrency recovery, and private investigation work means that not all desired outcomes can be guaranteed in advance.

CMEIS Ltd makes no warranty, express or implied, that any specific outcome will be achieved as a result of an engagement. Where the outcome of a service is uncertain or probabilistic in nature, this will be communicated clearly to the client before any payment is made and before any work begins. Clients who proceed following such a disclosure acknowledge and accept the inherent uncertainty of the outcome.

CMEIS Ltd does not warrant that its website will be available at all times, free from errors, or free from viruses or other harmful components. Access to the CMEIS Ltd website is provided on an as-is basis without warranty of any kind.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, CMEIS Ltd’s total liability to any client in connection with any engagement shall not exceed the total fees paid by that client to CMEIS Ltd in respect of the specific engagement giving rise to the claim.

CMEIS Ltd shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from or in connection with any engagement or the use of our website, including but not limited to loss of profit, loss of business opportunity, loss of data, or reputational damage, even where CMEIS Ltd has been advised of the possibility of such losses.

Nothing in these Terms of Service limits or excludes CMEIS Ltd’s liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CMEIS Ltd and its directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from or in connection with your use of the CMEIS Ltd website or services, your breach of these Terms of Service, any false representation made by you to CMEIS Ltd regarding your authority over the subject matter of an engagement, or your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party.

Third-Party Links and Services

The CMEIS Ltd website may contain links to external websites and resources operated by third parties. These links are provided for reference and convenience only. CMEIS Ltd does not operate, control, endorse, or take responsibility for the content, accuracy, privacy practices, or availability of any external website or resource. Your use of any third-party website or service is subject to the terms and policies of that third party.

Termination of Engagement

CMEIS Ltd reserves the right to terminate any engagement immediately and without liability where:

  1. A client is found to have provided false or misleading information regarding their authority over the subject matter of the engagement.
  2. A client requests or directs CMEIS Ltd to perform any action that falls outside the agreed scope of work or that would require CMEIS Ltd to act in a manner that violates applicable law.
  3. A client engages in abusive, threatening, or unlawful conduct toward any CMEIS Ltd team member or representative.
  4. Payment obligations are not met in accordance with the agreed payment terms.
  5. CMEIS Ltd determines, at its sole discretion, that continuing the engagement would expose CMEIS Ltd to legal, regulatory, or reputational risk.

Where CMEIS Ltd terminates an engagement under the circumstances described above, no refund will be issued for work already performed and fees already paid.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Where a dispute arises between a client and CMEIS Ltd in connection with these terms or any engagement, both parties agree to seek resolution in the first instance through direct good-faith communication before pursuing any formal legal remedy.

CMEIS Ltd operates globally and serves clients across multiple jurisdictions. The governing law applicable to any specific dispute will be determined having regard to the jurisdiction in which the relevant engagement was commissioned and the applicable legal frameworks governing that engagement.
