2. Eligibility and Authority

You must have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement to use this Website.

If you access or use the Website on behalf of a company or another organization, you represent that you have authority to act for and bind that organization.

3. Website Information Is Not a Binding Offer

Information about ECC’s services, technologies, experience, pricing, capabilities, schedules, and expected results is provided for general information only.

Website content does not constitute a binding offer, warranty, professional recommendation, or service commitment.

Submitting an inquiry, requesting a proposal, subscribing to a newsletter, or communicating with ECC through the Website does not automatically create a client, contractor, partnership, employment, fiduciary, or other professional relationship.

A binding service engagement will exist only when ECC and the client execute a separate written agreement, proposal, statement of work, purchase order, or similar document accepted by authorized representatives of both parties.

If these Terms conflict with an executed client agreement, the executed client agreement will govern the applicable services.

4. Quotations, Proposals, and Project Agreements

Any quotation, estimate, proposal, demonstration, schedule, or preliminary assessment issued by ECC may be subject to:

• Further technical assessment;
• Confirmation of project requirements;
• Resource availability;
• Third-party licensing and service costs;
• Applicable taxes;
• Foreign-exchange movements;
• Client dependencies;
• Changes in project scope; and
• A stated validity period.

Project scope, deliverables, responsibilities, fees, payment schedules, acceptance criteria, warranties, support arrangements, intellectual-property ownership, confidentiality requirements, and termination rights will be specified in the applicable written agreement.

Unless expressly agreed in writing, discussions, demonstrations, prototypes, estimates, and preliminary materials do not obligate ECC to begin or complete a project.

Do not submit passwords, banking credentials, private encryption keys, sensitive personal information, production databases, confidential source code, or regulated information through a general Website inquiry form.

Information submitted through a general inquiry form will not be treated as confidential unless ECC has separately agreed in writing to confidentiality obligations.

8. Personal Information and Privacy

ECC may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, telephone number, company information, service interests, and message.

ECC may use this information to:

• Respond to inquiries;
• Prepare proposals;
• Communicate about requested services;
• Maintain business records;
• Protect the Website from misuse;
• Comply with legal obligations; and
• Send updates or marketing communications when permitted by law.

ECC processes personal information in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable Philippine data-protection laws, including Republic Act No. 10173, or the Data Privacy Act of 2012, and its implementing rules and regulations.

Please read our Privacy Policy for information about the categories of personal data collected, purposes and lawful bases for processing, retention, disclosures, security measures, data-subject rights, and contact procedures.

By submitting personal information relating to another individual, you confirm that you are legally authorized to provide it and have given the individual any required notice.

You may unsubscribe at any time by:

Unsubscribing from marketing messages will not prevent ECC from sending transactional, security, legal, or service-related communications where appropriate.

10. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Enable essential Website functions;
• Maintain security;
• Remember preferences;
• Understand Website usage;
• Diagnose technical problems; and
• Improve Website performance and content.

Where required, ECC will request consent before using non-essential cookies. Additional information should be provided in ECC’s Cookie Notice or Privacy Policy.

You may control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain Website functions.

11. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the Website and its original content—including its design, text, graphics, logos, icons, software, source code, documentation, photographs, videos, downloads, trademarks, service marks, and other materials—are owned by or licensed to ECC and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may view and make a reasonable number of copies of public Website materials solely for legitimate internal, informational, or evaluation purposes.

No ownership rights are transferred to you. Any use beyond the limited permission provided in these Terms requires ECC’s prior written consent.

Third-party names, logos, products, and trademarks appearing on the Website remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance does not necessarily mean that the owner sponsors, endorses, or is affiliated with ECC.

12. Portfolio, Testimonials, and Case Studies

ECC may display project descriptions, client testimonials, industry references, or case studies when authorized or when the information is lawfully public.

Results described in a case study or testimonial reflect a particular engagement. They do not guarantee that another client will obtain identical or similar results.

Project outcomes depend on many factors, including requirements, scope, data quality, client participation, infrastructure, integrations, funding, timing, and third-party services.

13. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website may contain links to third-party websites, social-media platforms, hosting providers, software vendors, or external services.

ECC does not control and is not responsible for the availability, security, content, accuracy, privacy practices, or terms of third-party services.

A link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement. You access and use third-party services at your own discretion and subject to their respective terms and policies.

14. Website Availability and Security

ECC endeavors to maintain a reasonably secure and available Website but does not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure access.

The Website may become unavailable because of:

• Maintenance;
• Hosting or network failures;
• Software defects;
• Cyberattacks;
• Third-party service interruptions;
• Events outside ECC’s reasonable control; or
• Necessary security measures.

ECC may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of the Website without prior notice when reasonably necessary.

You are responsible for using appropriate security measures when accessing the Website, including current software, secure devices, strong credentials, and reliable backups.

15. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

ECC does not warrant that:

• The Website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free;
• Every defect will be corrected immediately;
• Website information will always be complete, current, or suitable for a particular purpose;
• The Website will be free from every harmful component; or
• Use of the Website will produce a particular business, financial, operational, or technical result.

Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties, rights, or remedies that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law.

16. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ECC and its directors, officers, employees, representatives, contractors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential losses arising from or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the Website.

This may include loss of profits, revenue, opportunities, goodwill, data, anticipated savings, or business interruption.

For claims arising solely from use of the free public Website—and not from a separately executed client agreement—ECC’s aggregate liability will not exceed the amount, if any, that you paid directly to ECC specifically for access to the Website during the six months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

These limitations do not apply where liability cannot legally be limited or excluded, including liability arising from fraud, willful misconduct, or other circumstances protected by mandatory law.

Liability relating to paid professional services will be governed by the applicable written client agreement.

17. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold ECC harmless from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, and reasonable expenses arising from:

• Your unlawful or unauthorized use of the Website;
• Your material violation of these Terms;
• Content or information you submit;
• Your infringement of another person’s rights; or
• Your intentional misuse of the Website.

ECC will provide reasonable notice of an indemnified claim and allow appropriate participation in its defense, subject to ECC’s right to protect its legitimate interests.

18. Suspension and Termination

ECC may restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to the Website if ECC reasonably believes that you:

• Violated these Terms;
• Created a security or legal risk;
• Used the Website fraudulently or unlawfully; or
• Interfered with the Website or another user.

Provisions that should reasonably survive termination—including intellectual-property, disclaimer, limitation-of-liability, indemnification, governing-law, and dispute provisions—will continue to apply.

19. Changes to These Terms

ECC may amend these Terms to reflect changes in:

• The Website or services;
• Business practices;
• Technology;
• Security requirements; or
• Applicable laws and regulations.

The revised Terms will be posted on the Website with an updated “Last Updated” date.

Changes will apply from the stated effective date. Continued use of the Website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms, to the extent permitted by law.

20. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, without prejudice to mandatory rights or remedies available under applicable law.

Before commencing formal proceedings, the parties should attempt in good faith to resolve a dispute through written communication.

Subject to applicable consumer-protection laws and rules on jurisdiction and venue, disputes relating to these Terms will be submitted to the competent courts having jurisdiction over Makati City, Philippines.

21. Severability

If a provision of these Terms is found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent legally permissible or separated from the remaining Terms.

The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

22. No Waiver

ECC’s delay or failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive its right to enforce that provision or any other provision later.

A waiver is effective only when made in writing by an authorized ECC representative.

23. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Notice, and any other Website policy expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the agreement between you and ECC concerning your use of the Website.

They do not replace any separately executed agreement covering paid services or a specific project.
