Welcome to The Security Piece, operated by Kazmania LLC ("TSP," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using our website at thesecuritypiece.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use our platform.
Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to use TSP. By creating an account or using our services, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age. If you are under 18, you may not create an account or use our services.
Account Responsibilities
When you create an account on TSP, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and all activities that occur under it. You agree to provide accurate information during registration and to keep your account information up to date.
You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at support@thesecuritypiece.com.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or negatively impact other users or the platform.
Responsible Use of Educational Content
TSP provides cybersecurity education for legitimate learning purposes only.
Our articles, challenges, resources, and projects are designed to help you understand security concepts and build practical skills for your career. This content is intended for educational use, professional development, and authorized security testing only.
You agree NOT to use any knowledge, techniques, or skills learned from TSP to conduct unauthorized access to computer systems or networks, perform security testing without explicit written permission from system owners, engage in any illegal hacking activities, harm individuals, organizations, or infrastructure, or violate any local, state, federal, or international laws.
Even if an article does not provide step-by-step instructions, you are responsible for using the concepts ethically and legally. Understanding how attacks work is valuable for defense, but that knowledge must only be applied in authorized contexts.
TSP is not responsible for any misuse of information provided on our platform. You bear full responsibility for your actions.
User-Generated Content
TSP allows users to post comments on articles. By posting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to display, modify, and use that content on our platform.
You retain ownership of your content but are solely responsible for what you post. We are not responsible for user-generated content and do not endorse any opinions expressed in comments.
Community Standards
We are committed to fostering a respectful and collaborative environment. The following content is prohibited and will be removed:
Hate speech, racism, sexism, or discrimination of any kind. Harassment, bullying, or personal attacks. Threats of violence or promotion of illegal activities. Spam, self-promotion, or off-topic content. Content that is negative, hateful, divisive, dismissive, disrespectful, or abusive in any way.
We reserve the right to remove any content that violates these standards and to suspend or ban users who repeatedly violate them.
Reporting Violations
If you encounter content that violates our community standards, please report it immediately. We will review reports and take appropriate action, which may include removing the content and taking action against the user who posted it.
Job Board Disclaimer
TSP is not an employer. Our job board aggregates listings from external sources.
All job listings displayed on TSP are collected from third-party applicant tracking systems, RSS feeds, and other external sources. We do not create, verify, or guarantee the accuracy of any job listing. TSP is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of any job posting.
Job availability, requirements, and details may change at any time without notice to us. A job appearing on our board does not mean it is currently available or that you are qualified for it.
Always verify job details directly with the employer before applying. Exercise caution and due diligence to avoid job scams. Never pay money to apply for a job or provide sensitive personal information until you have verified the legitimacy of the employer.
TSP makes no representations or warranties regarding any employment opportunity. We are not responsible for any hiring decisions, interview processes, or employment outcomes.
Intellectual Property
All content on TSP, including articles, graphics, logos, and software, is owned by The Security Piece or its content creators and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
You may read and share our content for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from our content without explicit written permission.
If you believe any content on TSP infringes your intellectual property rights, please contact us at legal@thesecuritypiece.com with details of the alleged infringement.
Affiliate Links and Sponsored Content
TSP may include affiliate links in our content. If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. These affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial decisions or recommendations.
We may also publish sponsored content from time to time. Sponsored content will always be clearly labeled as such. While we only partner with sponsors whose products or services we believe may be valuable to our audience, sponsorship does not imply our endorsement.

TSP and its content are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not guarantee that our platform will be error-free, secure, or available at all times.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, TSP shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our platform. This includes, but is not limited to, damages related to loss of data, loss of profits, or damages resulting from reliance on any information obtained from TSP.
Our total liability for any claim arising from your use of TSP shall not exceed the amount you paid us, if any, in the twelve months preceding the claim.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless TSP and its owners, employees, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from your use of the platform, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any rights of another party.
Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and access to TSP at any time, for any reason, without notice. Reasons for termination may include, but are not limited to, violation of these terms, fraudulent activity, or conduct that we determine to be harmful to other users or the platform.
You may also terminate your account at any time by contacting us at support@thesecuritypiece.com.
Dispute Resolution
Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of TSP shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you agree that any legal action shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in the United States, and you consent to the jurisdiction of such courts.
