Client Communications and Portal Use
When you submit information through contact forms, file uploads, the client portal, email, or any other channel, you are solely responsible for the content you provide. By sending us information, you represent and warrant that you have the right to do so, that the information is accurate and lawful to share, and that you have obtained any necessary consent for personal or proprietary data belonging to others.
