Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

You may view, download, and print content from the Site for your own personal, non-commercial use only. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, or commercially exploit any content without our prior written permission.

4. Insights and articles

The articles and perspectives published in the Insights section are provided for general informational purposes only.

VCS makes no representations or warranties as to the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of the information for any particular purpose.

5. No professional relationship

Accessing or using the Site does not create a client relationship, advisory relationship, or any other professional relationship between you and VCS. A formal engagement relationship is only established through a signed agreement between you and VCS.

6. Third-party links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by VCS. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, VCS and its directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Site or its content — even if VCS has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these terms or your use of the Site shall not exceed the amount you paid to access the Site (which, for a free public website, is zero).
