Effective date: September 1, 2026
These Terms and Conditions govern your use of jessenkurien.com (the “Site”), operated by Jessen Kurien. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
The Site provides information about Jessen Kurien’s professional experience, independent cybersecurity advisory work, writing, research, speaking, books, and related subjects.
Site content is provided for general informational and educational purposes. It is not legal, regulatory, compliance, financial, cybersecurity, risk-management, or other professional advice, and it should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice based on your specific circumstances.
Using the Site, downloading content, or submitting a contact form does not create an advisor-client, consultant-client, fiduciary, confidential, or other professional relationship. A consulting relationship begins only through a separate written agreement signed by the relevant parties.
Any consulting services, deliverables, fees, confidentiality obligations, data handling, warranties, and liability terms will be governed by that separate agreement—not these website Terms.
Do not submit passwords, credentials, vulnerability details, incident evidence, personal data, privileged information, export-controlled material, or other confidential or security-sensitive information through the Site or its contact form.
Submitting a message authorizes its use to review and respond to your inquiry, subject to the Site’s Privacy Policy. No information submitted before a signed engagement agreement should be considered confidential unless Jessen Kurien expressly agrees otherwise in writing.
Cybersecurity material on the Site is intended for lawful, defensive, and educational use. You may test or assess only systems that you own or are expressly authorized to test.
You may not use the Site or its content to gain unauthorized access, disrupt services, distribute malicious code, evade security controls, violate another person’s rights, or engage in unlawful activity.
Unless otherwise stated, original articles, commentary, graphics, downloads, and other Site content are owned by Jessen Kurien or used with permission and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
You may view, reference, and print reasonable portions for personal, noncommercial use. You may not reproduce, republish, sell, distribute, modify, systematically scrape, or commercially exploit substantial Site content without prior written permission, except where permitted by applicable law.
Third-party names, trademarks, logos, badges, book materials, quotations, and linked research remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance does not imply sponsorship or endorsement unless expressly stated.
You agree not to:
The Site may link to third-party websites, publications, credential platforms, retailers, social networks, or other services. These links are provided for convenience and reference. Jessen Kurien does not control and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, privacy practices, or terms. A link does not necessarily constitute endorsement.
The Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, no warranty is made that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, complete, accurate, or current.
Cybersecurity threats, technologies, products, standards, and laws change rapidly. You are responsible for verifying information and obtaining appropriate professional guidance before acting on it. No particular business, security, compliance, employment, or consulting outcome is guaranteed.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Jessen Kurien will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, revenue, profits, business opportunity, or goodwill arising from use of—or reliance on—the Site or linked third-party services.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability or limits rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Information collected through the Site is handled as described in the Privacy Policy. Please review that policy before submitting personal information.
The Site, its content, and these Terms may be updated, suspended, or discontinued at any time. Revised Terms will be posted here with an updated effective date. Continued use after revised Terms take effect constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington and applicable United States federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory law requires otherwise. Nothing in these Terms limits any nonwaivable rights available under applicable consumer-protection law.
If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
