2. License Grant
Subject to the terms of this Agreement and payment in full, SCC grants Licensee a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable Edition License to access and use the purchased edition of the Almanac solely for the following purposes:
(a) Internal reference and professional development within the Covered Practice.
(b) Delivering Almanac content to Clients as an integrated component of an Engagement, meaning incorporating Almanac standards, frameworks, and guidance into work product prepared and presented by the Licensee in their professional capacity.
(c) Customizing or adapting Almanac content for a specific Client's operational environment as part of an Engagement, provided that all such customizations remain subject to the restrictions in Section 3.
The Edition License applies only to the Almanac edition and State Modules identified in Licensee's order. Access to a State Module is limited to the state or states for which Licensee has paid the applicable fee. Each subsequent edition is a separate purchase under a separate Edition License.
3. Restrictions
Licensee shall not, and shall not permit any third party to:
(a) Sublicense, sell, resell, transfer, assign, or otherwise make the Almanac available to any third party as a standalone product.
(b) Distribute, publish, or otherwise make the Almanac available to any third party outside of an Engagement in which the Licensee is the primary service provider of record.
(c) Provide a Client or any other party with direct, independent access to the Almanac as a standalone resource.
(d) Represent to any Client or third party that the Almanac, or work product derived from the Almanac, carries a DHS SAFETY Act designation. SAFETY Act designation belongs exclusively to SCC and applies only to SCC's PRISM product line. Licensee may represent that the Almanac is authored by a CPP-credentialed professional and is aligned to applicable professional standards.
(e) Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright notice, trademark, or other proprietary notice contained in the Almanac.
(f) Reproduce or copy the Almanac in any form for purposes other than those expressly permitted in Section 2.
(g) Use the Almanac, in whole or in part, to develop a competing product or service, or to train or fine-tune any machine learning model.
(h) Share access to the Almanac with individuals who are not employees or contractors of the Covered Practice working under Licensee's direct supervision.
4. Intellectual Property
The Almanac, including all standards, frameworks, crosswalks, appendices, state annexes, and related documentation, is and remains the exclusive intellectual property of SCC. Licensee acquires no ownership interest in the Almanac under this Agreement. All rights not expressly granted in Section 2 are reserved by SCC. Licensee acknowledges that the CPP-credentialed authorship and professional standards alignment embedded in the Almanac constitute proprietary value belonging to SCC.
Work product that Licensee creates by customizing or adapting Almanac content for a specific Client belongs to the Licensee or the applicable Client per the terms of the Engagement, subject to the restrictions in Section 3.
5. License Term
The Edition License is perpetual for the purchased edition. It begins upon SCC's confirmation of the order and clearance of payment and continues for so long as Licensee complies with this Agreement, subject only to termination for cause under Section 6. The Almanac is a book-model product. There is no subscription, no renewal, and no recurring fee for an Edition License. Each new edition of the Almanac is published and sold separately under its own Edition License.
6. Refunds and Termination
6.1 No Refunds. All sales are final. Because the Almanac is delivered as digital content upon purchase, SCC does not provide returns or refunds once an order has been confirmed and payment cleared.
6.2 Termination for Cause. SCC may terminate the Edition License immediately upon written notice if Licensee materially breaches any provision of Section 3, becomes insolvent or ceases business operations, or uses the Almanac in a manner that SCC reasonably determines creates legal, regulatory, or reputational harm to SCC.
6.3 Effect of Termination. Upon termination for cause, the Edition License terminates immediately. Licensee must cease all use of the Almanac and destroy or delete all copies of Almanac content in Licensee's possession, except for work product already delivered to Clients as part of completed Engagements prior to the termination date.
7. Errata and New Editions
SCC has no obligation to revise, supplement, update, or issue corrections to a purchased edition of the Almanac after its publication date. SCC may, at its sole discretion, issue errata for a purchased edition. New or updated framework content is published in new editions, which are licensed and sold separately and are not included in the purchase of a prior edition.
8. Deal Registration and Referral Program
8.1 Registration Mechanism. Licensee may participate in SCC's deal registration program by submitting a completed deal registration form to SCC identifying one or more Client facilities that Licensee wishes to introduce to SCC for consideration of a PRISM product agreement. Registration is permitted whether or not Licensee has completed or is engaged in an Engagement with the registered Client at the time of registration.
8.2 PRISM Referral Fee Tiers. SCC's PRISM referral fee has two tiers, each calculated per Client facility enrolled in a PRISM product agreement:
(a) Standard Tier — Two thousand dollars ($2,000) per Client facility enrolled. The Standard Tier applies when Licensee has introduced the Client to SCC and submitted a deal registration but has not authored or included PRISM as a named component in a written proposal, statement of work, or bid response delivered to the Client.
(b) Bid-Written Tier — Four thousand dollars ($4,000) per Client facility enrolled. The Bid-Written Tier applies when Licensee has authored a written proposal, statement of work, or bid response that names PRISM as a component and the Client has executed that document in writing. Verbal recommendations and post-signing additions do not qualify for the Bid-Written Tier.
8.3 PRISM Earning Conditions. A PRISM referral fee for any Client facility is not fully earned, and no payment obligation arises, until all of the following are satisfied: (a) SCC's execution of a signed PRISM product agreement with the registered Client; (b) inclusion of the registered facility under that agreement; (c) SCC's receipt and clearance of the initial payment from the registered Client; (d) Licensee's compliance with all terms of this Agreement; and (e) Licensee's timely submission of Required Documentation as provided in Section 8.13.
8.4 Payment Timing. SCC pays PRISM referral fees earned under this Section 8 in a single annual disbursement. The earning term for PRISM referral fees runs from November 1 of each year through October 31 of the following year (each such period, a "Program Year"). SCC will disburse all earned PRISM referral fees for a given Program Year by December 1 following the October 31 close of that Program Year, subject to the documentation requirement in Section 8.13. Almanac referral bonuses are not paid on the annual cycle. SCC pays each earned almanac referral bonus on a net-thirty basis as provided in Section 8.10(b).
A PRISM referral fee is included in a given Program Year if all conditions for earning that fee as set forth in Section 8.3 are satisfied on or before October 31 of that Program Year. If the earning conditions are satisfied after October 31, that fee is included in the next Program Year and paid by the following December 1.
8.5 Program Modification. SCC reserves the right to modify or discontinue the deal registration and referral program with thirty (30) days prior written notice. Modifications do not affect fees or bonuses already earned prior to the modification notice date.
8.6 Registration Window. A deal registration is effective for twelve (12) months from the date of submission. If the registered Client does not execute a PRISM product agreement within that period, the registration expires without obligation by either party. Licensee may resubmit a registration for an expired Client subject to Section 8.7.
8.7 Registration Priority. If two or more Licensees submit deal registrations identifying the same Client facility, SCC will use the order of registration submission as the initial priority determinant. SCC's determination of registration order, eligibility, and entitlement to a referral fee is final. SCC may decline a registration where SCC has had prior direct contact with the identified Client facility regarding a PRISM product agreement.
8.8 Multi-Facility Registrations. A single deal registration form may identify multiple Client facilities. Each Client facility is registered, qualified for tier, and paid individually upon its enrollment in a PRISM product agreement. There is no cap on the number of facilities Licensee may register.
8.9 PRISM Pricing. PRISM product pricing referenced in any Licensee-facing materials is illustrative. Final PRISM product pricing is established between SCC and the Client at the time of PRISM product agreement execution. SCC has no obligation to make available, and Licensee has no entitlement to represent to any Client, any specific PRISM product pricing.
8.10 Almanac Referral Bonus.
(a) A Licensee may earn an almanac referral bonus of five hundred dollars ($500) per qualifying referred order. A referred order qualifies when: (i) the buyer completes a confirmed order for any product in the SCC Spectrum Security Almanacs line, including any vertical edition or add-on product offered under the Spectrum brand; (ii) the buyer enters the referring Licensee's name in the "Referred By" field of the applicable order form at the time of order submission; and (iii) SCC confirms and clears payment for the order.
(b) The almanac referral bonus is not fully earned, and no payment obligation arises, until SCC confirms and clears payment for the qualifying referred order and Licensee has submitted Required Documentation as provided in Section 8.13. Once both conditions are satisfied, SCC pays the bonus within thirty (30) days (net-thirty).
(c) The almanac referral bonus applies across all verticals in the Spectrum line and is not limited to the vertical edition the referring Licensee holds.
(d) A Licensee may not earn an almanac referral bonus on their own order, on a subsequent edition purchase by a buyer who has previously purchased a Spectrum product, or on any order submitted by a party who has previously purchased a Spectrum product.
(e) SCC reserves the right to verify the referral claim and may decline to pay a bonus where SCC reasonably determines the "Referred By" entry was added post-submission, was fabricated, or where the buyer was already in SCC's pipeline prior to Licensee's referral.
8.11 Documentation Requirement (Required Documentation). "Required Documentation" means, collectively: (a) a completed IRS Form W-9, or for non-U.S. persons the applicable IRS Form W-8 series form; and (b) completed ACH or other payment-account details in the form SCC specifies. SCC will designate a secure intake channel for submission and communicate it to Licensee when a fee or bonus is first earned.
8.12 PRISM Fee Documentation Deadline. For PRISM referral fees paid on the annual cycle, Licensee must submit complete Required Documentation to SCC's designated secure intake by October 31 of the applicable Program Year. Timely submission is a condition precedent to the vesting of any payment obligation for that Program Year. A PRISM referral fee for which all other earning conditions are satisfied but for which Required Documentation has not been timely submitted does not vest, does not carry forward, and gives rise to no payment obligation.
8.13 Almanac Bonus Documentation and Forfeiture. For almanac referral bonuses paid net-thirty under Section 8.10(b), submission of complete Required Documentation is a condition precedent to SCC's payment obligation. SCC will notify Licensee when a bonus is earned and will pay the bonus within thirty (30) days after both the referred order has cleared and complete Required Documentation has been received. If Licensee does not submit complete Required Documentation within ninety (90) days after SCC's notice that the bonus has been earned, the bonus is forfeited and gives rise to no payment obligation.
9. No Legal Advice
The Almanac is a professional reference resource created by a CPP-credentialed security professional. It does not constitute legal advice and is not a substitute for consultation with qualified legal counsel. SCC makes no representation that the Almanac satisfies the specific legal, regulatory, or accreditation requirements applicable to any particular facility or jurisdiction. Licensee and Clients are solely responsible for verifying compliance with applicable federal, state, and local law.
10. Scope of Advisory Content and Professional Responsibility
10.1 Nature of the Almanac. The Almanac is an advisory reference framework authored by a CPP-credentialed security professional. It organizes applicable regulatory citations, industry standards, and professional practice guidance into a structured format that Licensee may use as an input to its own professional work. The Almanac is a reference tool, not a deliverable. It is designed to inform, not replace, the independent professional judgment of the Licensee.
10.2 Explicit Exclusions. The Almanac does not constitute, and shall not be represented to any Client or third party as constituting, any of the following:
(a) A facility-specific compliance determination, assessment, or finding for any particular site, operation, or jurisdiction.
(b) An audit, inspection, survey, or certification of any facility, program, or process.
(c) An endorsement, approval, or sign-off by any authority having jurisdiction, code official, fire marshal, building official, accreditation body, regulatory agency, or licensing authority.
(d) Engineering, architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, or life-safety design services or opinions.
(e) Legal advice or a legal opinion of any kind, including any opinion regarding regulatory compliance status, permit sufficiency, or litigation risk.
(f) A guarantee, assurance, or warranty that implementation of any Almanac standard will result in regulatory compliance, accreditation approval, or favorable treatment by any authority having jurisdiction or governmental body.
(g) A site-specific security, vulnerability, or threat assessment for any particular facility or campus.
(h) A replacement for consultation with qualified legal counsel, licensed engineers, registered architects, licensed fire protection professionals, or other credentialed specialists whose engagement applicable law or project conditions require.
10.3 Licensee Remains Professional of Record. Licensee is, and remains, the sole professional of record for any work product Licensee delivers to its Clients. The Almanac is an input to that work product. Purchase of the Almanac does not make SCC a co-author, co-consultant, or co-professional of record on any Engagement. SCC has no involvement in, and accepts no responsibility for, Licensee's work product, professional judgments, or the adequacy of any facility-specific implementation.
10.4 No Professional Relationship Created. Purchase of the Almanac, and any communication between SCC and Licensee in connection with the Almanac, does not create a consulting agreement, an engineering or architectural engagement, an attorney-client relationship, or any other professional services relationship between SCC and Licensee beyond the Edition License granted in Section 2.
10.5 Licensee Acknowledgment. By purchasing the Almanac, Licensee acknowledges that it holds or operates under the professional credentials appropriate to the engagements in which it uses the Almanac, that it exercises independent professional judgment in all work product delivered to Clients, and that the Almanac is one input among others and does not substitute for that judgment.
11. Scope of the Compliance Advisor
This Section 11 applies only to a Licensee who has separately purchased the Compliance Advisor. The Compliance Advisor is the only subscription product in the Spectrum line. Its fee and annual term are set out in the applicable Compliance Advisor order; this Section governs its scope and limits.
11.1 Nature of the Compliance Advisor. The Compliance Advisor is an optional, separately priced annual advisory service consisting of exactly two review types and no others: (a) bid review, meaning review of a Licensee's bid or proposal package; and (b) final policy review, meaning review of a Licensee's final written security policies or program documentation. Each review is conducted for regulatory and standards compliance only. SCC reviews the submitted materials solely to identify items that appear absent, incomplete, or potentially misaligned relative to the regulatory citations and recognized industry standards referenced in the Almanac, and provides written commentary to that effect ("Advisory Commentary").
11.2 Advisory Commentary Is Advisory Only. Advisory Commentary is advisory flag-and-gap commentary only. It does not constitute, and shall not be represented to any Client or third party as constituting: (a) a certification, attestation, sign-off, or approval of any kind; (b) a guarantee or assurance of regulatory compliance, accreditation readiness, or bid responsiveness; (c) a professional endorsement that the reviewed materials are complete, sufficient, or legally adequate for any purpose; (d) a representation that, upon implementing the commentary, the materials will satisfy any regulatory, accreditation, or contractual requirement; or (e) an assumption by SCC of Licensee's professional duty of care to its Clients.
11.3 Subject Matter Limited to Compliance. Advisory Commentary addresses regulatory and standards compliance only. SCC expresses no opinion on, and the Compliance Advisor does not cover, the design adequacy, the engineering, architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, or life-safety soundness, the constructability, the technical specification correctness, the security effectiveness or operational efficacy, the cost, pricing, or commercial competitiveness, or the fitness for any particular purpose of the reviewed materials. Licensee may not rely on the absence of Advisory Commentary regarding any such non-compliance matter as an indication that the matter is adequate, complete, or correct.
11.4 Licensee Retains Full Professional Responsibility. Advisory Commentary does not relieve Licensee of the obligation to exercise independent professional judgment. Licensee is solely responsible for determining whether to incorporate, reject, or modify any flagged item, and for the professional adequacy of all final work product submitted to Clients. The Compliance Advisor is not a backstop, insurance substitute, or liability shield, and does not transfer any professional liability from Licensee to SCC.
11.5 Scope of Review. SCC will review only the materials Licensee submits within the scope of the purchased Compliance Advisor. SCC has no obligation to review materials not submitted, to seek out omissions outside the submitted package, or to audit Licensee's prior work.
12. No Third-Party Beneficiary
12.1 This Agreement is between SCC and Licensee only. No Client, end-user facility, employee, patient, visitor, or other party to whom Licensee delivers services or work product is a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.
12.2 No Client or downstream party has any right to bring a claim against SCC under or arising from this Agreement, the Almanac, the Compliance Advisor, or any work product Licensee delivers using the Almanac.
12.3 SCC owes no duty of care, professional responsibility, or contractual obligation to any Client or other party who is not a signatory to this Agreement, regardless of whether Licensee incorporated Almanac content into work product delivered to that party.
12.4 Licensee shall not represent to any Client or third party that SCC's review, authorship, or credentialing creates a direct relationship, duty, or guarantee running from SCC to that Client or third party.
13. Currency and Duty to Verify
13.1 Publication-Date Snapshot. The Almanac reflects the regulatory landscape, industry standards, and professional practice guidance as of the edition's stated publication date. Regulatory requirements, accreditation standards, interpretations, and case law evolve. The Almanac is a snapshot, not a continuously updated regulatory service.
13.2 No Duty to Update. SCC has no obligation to revise, supplement, or correct a purchased edition after its publication date, as provided in Section 7. The purchase of a given edition does not entitle Licensee to updates or revisions to that edition's content.
13.3 Licensee's Duty to Verify. Licensee is responsible for verifying, as of the date any work product is delivered to a Client, that the regulatory citations and professional practice references Licensee draws from the Almanac remain current and applicable to the Client's facility, jurisdiction, and operational context. This verification obligation belongs solely to Licensee and may not be delegated to or discharged by the Almanac.
14. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE ALMANAC AND THE COMPLIANCE ADVISOR ARE PROVIDED "AS IS." SCC MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR COMPLETENESS. SCC DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE ALMANAC IS FREE OF ERRORS, THAT IT WILL MEET LICENSEE'S REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT IT REFLECTS ALL APPLICABLE REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS AS OF ANY PARTICULAR DATE.
15. Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT SHALL SCC BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE ALMANAC, OR THE COMPLIANCE ADVISOR, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SCC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SCC'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE ALMANAC SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY LICENSEE FOR THE ALMANAC EDITION THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THE CLAIM. SCC'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE COMPLIANCE ADVISOR SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY LICENSEE FOR THE COMPLIANCE ADVISOR IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
16. Indemnification
Licensee shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SCC and its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, arising out of or related to Licensee's use of the Almanac or the Compliance Advisor in violation of this Agreement, Licensee's representations to Clients regarding the Almanac's or the Compliance Advisor's scope or legal effect, or any work product Licensee delivers to Clients using the Almanac or the Advisory Commentary.
17. Confidentiality
Licensee acknowledges that the Almanac contains proprietary and confidential information belonging to SCC. Licensee shall take reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of the Almanac and shall not disclose Almanac content to any party except as expressly permitted under Section 2.
18. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising under or related to this Agreement that cannot be resolved by good-faith negotiation shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Gloucester County, New Jersey under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SCC may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of the Almanac.
19. Entire Agreement
This Agreement, together with the order form and any incorporated addenda, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, representations, and negotiations. No modification of this Agreement shall be binding unless made in writing and agreed to by both parties, except as provided in Section 7 and Section 8.5.
20. Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
21. Waiver
SCC's failure to enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
