Terms of Service

Last updated: April 12, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the websites, products, and services provided by Sentinel Vault ("we," "our," or "us"), including sentinelvault.net, academy.sentinelvault.net, and all related training products.

By using our services or making a purchase, you agree to these Terms.

1. Services

Sentinel Vault provides cybersecurity training, advisory services, and related products, including:

  • Vault Cyber Academy — instructor-led and self-paced cybersecurity courses for executives and professionals, hosted at academy.sentinelvault.net
  • Sentinel Weekly — a 52-week subscription-based cybersecurity awareness training program for employees
  • Cyber Risk Briefings — on-site or virtual consulting sessions
  • Cyber Checkup — a free self-assessment survey

2. Accounts

Some services require you to create an account on academy.sentinelvault.net. When you create an account:

  • You must provide accurate and complete information
  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials
  • You are responsible for all activity under your account
  • You must notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

3. Subscriptions and Payment

3.1 Sentinel Weekly Subscriptions

  • Sentinel Weekly is sold as an annual subscription on a per-seat basis
  • A "seat" entitles one named individual to access the training for the subscription period
  • Seats are not transferable between individuals without administrator action
  • The number of seats purchased determines how many employees can enroll

3.2 Pricing and Billing

  • Prices are listed on sentinelvault.net/sentinel-weekly and are subject to change
  • Subscriptions are billed annually in advance via Stripe
  • All prices are in U.S. dollars
  • You are responsible for applicable taxes

3.3 Auto-Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each annual period unless cancelled. You may cancel at any time through your Stripe customer portal or by contacting us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you retain access until then.

3.4 Refund Policy

  • 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee: If you are not satisfied with Sentinel Weekly, you may request a full refund within 30 days of your initial purchase. No questions asked.
  • After 30 days: Refunds are not available for the current billing period, but you may cancel to prevent future charges.
  • Prorated refunds are not offered for partial-year cancellations after the 30-day window.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Share your login credentials with others
  • Allow individuals not covered by your subscription to access the training
  • Copy, reproduce, distribute, or republish any training content
  • Use our services for any unlawful purpose
  • Attempt to access systems or data you are not authorized to access
  • Resell or sublicense access to our training without written permission

5. Intellectual Property

All content on sentinelvault.net and academy.sentinelvault.net — including training materials, course content, episode text, quiz questions, graphics, and software — is owned by Sentinel Vault and protected by copyright.

  • Your subscription grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access the training content for your organization's internal use during the subscription period
  • You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from the content
  • Printed materials (leave-behind cards, handouts) distributed as part of the training may be retained and shared within your organization

6. Client Administrator Responsibilities

If you purchase Sentinel Weekly or Vault Cyber Academy seats for your organization:

  • You are the account administrator for your organization's cohort
  • You are responsible for approving employee registrations
  • You are responsible for ensuring seat count does not exceed your purchased licenses
  • You may view employee progress, quiz scores, and completion status through your admin dashboard
  • You may not access individual employees' passwords or login sessions

7. Disclaimer

Sentinel Vault provides cybersecurity education and awareness training. Our services do not guarantee that your organization will not experience a cybersecurity incident.

Training is one component of a cybersecurity program. We strongly recommend that organizations also implement appropriate technical controls, policies, incident response plans, and engage qualified IT security professionals.

Our training content is provided "as is" for educational purposes. While we strive for accuracy, cybersecurity threats evolve rapidly and specific guidance may not apply to every situation.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • Sentinel Vault is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our services
  • Our total liability for any claim related to our services is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim
  • We are not liable for damages arising from cybersecurity incidents at your organization, regardless of whether your employees completed our training

9. Privacy

Your use of our services is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your information.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance. For material changes affecting active subscriptions, we will notify you by email at least 30 days in advance.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
