Terms of use

They do not replace the agreement governing a paid client engagement. Where a separate written engagement agreement exists, that agreement governs the client work.

Website information

Information published on this website is general information.

It is not legal advice, financial advice or advice tailored to your specific circumstances.

A web page cannot take account of all facts relevant to your situation.

Enquiries

Submitting an enquiry does not create a client relationship.

A client engagement begins only after the relevant scope, terms and authority have been agreed.

Submitting a form also does not authorise Principia Works to begin researching you or anybody mentioned in the enquiry.

What Principia Works does

Principia Works provides services involving:

• Digital exposure assessment
• Cybersecurity awareness
• Social-engineering risk
• Open-source intelligence research
• Related advisory work

The exact service provided depends on the written scope of the engagement.

Research limitations

Open-source research has limitations. Information can be:

• Incomplete
• Incorrect
• Outdated
• Removed
• Duplicated
• Misattributed
• Inaccessible
• Contradictory

We take care to distinguish supported findings from inference where relevant, but no OSINT engagement can guarantee that every relevant fact has been discovered.

No guarantee of security

Security work reduces uncertainty and risk. It cannot guarantee that an incident will never occur.

An Exposure Assessment does not create immunity from social engineering, fraud or cyberattack.

Security Awareness Training cannot guarantee that every participant will make the correct decision in every situation.

No guarantee of investigative outcome

Principia Intelligence cannot guarantee that an investigation will produce a particular answer.

In some cases the most accurate conclusion will be that the available evidence is insufficient.

Client decisions

Our work may inform decisions. Unless otherwise agreed, the decision itself remains the client's responsibility.

Where a decision has legal, employment, regulatory or similarly significant consequences, clients should obtain appropriate specialist advice where required.

Emergency incidents

This website is not an emergency security channel.

If money is actively at risk, contact the relevant financial institution.

If systems are actively compromised, contact the relevant IT or incident-response provider.

Where criminal activity may be involved, contact the appropriate authorities.

Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, the content of this website belongs to Principia Works.

You may share links and quote reasonable extracts with attribution.

Reproduction of substantial content for commercial use requires permission.

External links

We may link to third-party websites because they are useful or relevant.

We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.

Website accuracy

We take reasonable care with information published on this site.

Cybersecurity, technology and public information change quickly. Material may therefore become outdated.

Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Principia Works is not liable for loss arising solely from reliance on general information published on this website.

Liability relating to a client engagement is governed by the agreement for that engagement.

Governing law

These website terms are governed by the applicable law of Namibia.

Changes

We may update these terms as the website and business evolve.

The current version will appear on this page with its revision date.
