Terms of Use

[ATTORNEY REVIEW NEEDED] — These Terms of Use govern access to the public website and the consultant intake form only. They are not the binding contractual terms for subcontracted consultants. The binding contract is the Master C2C Subcontractor Agreement, which is executed separately. Counsel should review this page and reconcile it with the executed C2C Agreement before publication.

1. Agreement to these Terms

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website operated at cloudtechpartners.llc (the “Site”) and the consultant intake form available at /join (the “Intake”), each operated by Cloud Technology Partners LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“CTP”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). By accessing the Site or submitting the Intake you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or the Intake.

2. Defined terms

1. “C2C Agreement” means the Master C2C Subcontractor Agreement between CTP and a subcontractor entity, together with each Statement of Work, Work Order, Purchase Order, addendum, exhibit, and applicable upstream flow-down requirement.
2. “Applicant” means any individual or business entity that submits the Intake or otherwise expresses interest in joining the CTP consultant network.
3. “Subcontractor” means an independent business entity that has executed the C2C Agreement with CTP and may be assigned to one or more engagements.
4. “Site Content” means all text, graphics, layouts, logos, marks, designs, code, photographs, and other material made available through the Site, other than material you submit.

3. Relationship to the Master C2C Subcontractor Agreement

These Terms govern use of the website. They do not govern the contractual relationship between CTP and any Subcontractor. The contractual terms applicable to any consultant who is selected, onboarded, and placed on an engagement — including company-to-company status, services under a Statement of Work, pay-when-paid conditions, background screening, insurance requirements, confidentiality, intellectual property, non-circumvention and no-layering obligations, conversion fees, indemnification, limitation of liability, governing law, and dispute resolution — are set out in the Master C2C Subcontractor Agreement, executed separately.

Submitting the Intake does not create the C2C Agreement, does not create an employment, partnership, agency, joint venture, or franchise relationship with CTP, does not obligate CTP to make any presentation to a client, and does not obligate CTP to enter into any further agreement with you. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the executed C2C Agreement as it applies to a Subcontractor, the C2C Agreement controls.

4. Eligibility to apply

To submit the Intake you represent and warrant that:

• you are at least 18 years old and have legal capacity to contract;
• you are a United States citizen, permanent resident, or otherwise authorized to work in the United States;
• you operate, or upon engagement will operate, through a validly formed US business entity (LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp, or equivalent) able to engage on a Corp-to-Corp basis;
• you are able and willing to obtain insurance coverage at the levels stated in the C2C Agreement, including Commercial General Liability and Professional Liability / E&O, and any cyber or client-specific coverage required;
• you are able and willing to cooperate with background screening required by CTP, by the applicable client, or by law;
• you have the senior-level experience represented in your application; and
• all information you submit, including your resume, employment history, identity information, credentials, and work authorization information, is true, accurate, complete, and not misleading.

Submitting the Intake does not guarantee placement, presentation to a client, admission to the CTP network, or any minimum work volume. CTP may accept or decline any application at its sole discretion.

5. Acceptable use of the Site

You agree that you will not, and will not attempt to:

• use the Site or the Intake for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
• submit false, misleading, fraudulent, or impersonating information — including resumes that misrepresent identity, work history, or credentials;
• submit personal information about a third party without their authorization;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Site, the consultant portal, the admin portal, or any underlying infrastructure;
• probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Site, or breach any security or authentication measure;
• scrape, crawl, harvest, or otherwise extract Site Content using automated means in a manner that disregards robots.txt or that imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure;
• interfere with the proper working of the Site, including by introducing malware, viruses, denial-of-service traffic, or other harmful code;
• use the Site, the Intake, or any information obtained from them to compete with CTP, to circumvent CTP’s placement of any consultant or client, or to layer or broker CTP’s consultants or clients to a third party; or
• misrepresent your affiliation with CTP, or hold yourself out as authorized to bind CTP, any client, or any upstream vendor.

We may suspend or terminate access to the Site, or refuse to consider any application, if we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated.

6. Intellectual property

6.1 CTP’s rights

The Site Content is owned by CTP or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. The names “Cloud Technology Partners” and “CTP”, the CTP logos and brand marks, and the Site’s overall look and feel are trademarks or trade dress of CTP. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, CTP grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the Site for personal or internal business evaluation purposes only. No other use is granted, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved.

6.2 Your submissions

You retain ownership of materials you submit through the Intake (including your resume and application content). By submitting them, you grant CTP a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to store, copy, evaluate, and present those materials to prospective clients for the purpose of considering you for engagements, subject to the Privacy Policy. You represent that you have all rights necessary to grant this license.

6.3 Engagement work product

Ownership of any work product created under an engagement is governed by the applicable Statement of Work, the C2C Agreement, and any flow-down obligation from the upstream client. Nothing in these Terms grants CTP ownership of work product created outside the Site or Intake.

7. Privacy

Our collection, use, retention, and protection of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Site or the Intake you also accept the Privacy Policy.

8. Third-party links and content

The Site may link to third-party websites (for example, founder LinkedIn profiles, partner pages, or referenced articles). Those sites are operated by third parties and CTP does not control or endorse them. Your use of any third-party site is at your own risk and subject to that site’s terms and privacy practices.

9. No warranties for the Site or marketing content

The Site, the Intake, and all Site Content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CTP disclaims all warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and any warranty that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

Information presented on the Site about services, methodologies, industries, certifications, or sample engagements is for general marketing and informational purposes only and does not constitute professional advice, a guarantee of result, or a commitment to provide any specific service. Specific terms applicable to any engagement are governed by the applicable Statement of Work and C2C Agreement, not by these Terms or by Site Content.

10. Limitation of liability (Site use)

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CTP shall not be liable to you, or to any third party claiming through you, for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including loss of income, loss of business opportunity, loss of profits, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or related to your access to or use of the Site or the Intake, even if CTP has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

CTP’s total aggregate liability arising out of or related to your use of the Site or the Intake shall not exceed one hundred US dollars ($100). Nothing in this section limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, and the limitations in this section do not modify or replace the separate limitation-of-liability provisions in the C2C Agreement, which govern engagement-related claims by a Subcontractor.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless CTP and its members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, clients, upstream vendors, and affiliates from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your access to or use of the Site or the Intake, your submission of information through the Intake, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of any third party. This indemnity is in addition to any indemnification obligations a Subcontractor may have under the C2C Agreement.

12. Governing law; venue; dispute resolution; attorneys’ fees

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Before filing any lawsuit, the parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute through direct discussions; if not resolved within fifteen (15) days after written notice, either party may proceed with any remedy available at law or in equity.

Exclusive venue for any action arising out of or related to these Terms, the Site, or the Intake shall lie in the state or federal courts located in Florida, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CTP may seek temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent or stop unauthorized access, misuse of Site Content, infringement of CTP’s intellectual property, breach of confidentiality, or circumvention of CTP’s client or consultant relationships.

In any action arising out of or related to these Terms, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, and expenses.

[ATTORNEY REVIEW NEEDED] — The C2C Agreement uses litigation in Florida courts with prevailing-party fee-shifting and an express carve-out for injunctive relief. This page mirrors that approach for consistency. If CTP later adopts mandatory arbitration for website disputes, both documents should be updated together, and an arbitration clause should be reviewed and conspicuously presented.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in an updated Last updated date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site or the Intake after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

14. Severability; no waiver; entire agreement

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and the invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving the parties’ intent. CTP’s failure to enforce any provision shall not be a waiver. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and (for Subcontractors) the executed C2C Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and CTP concerning the Site and the Intake, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications on that subject.
