Terms of Service

Last updated: August 21, 2026

1. Who these terms are between

This website is operated by Citadel Cloud Management ("Citadel", "we", "us"). By using the site you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the site. If you use the site on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to accept these terms for it.

2. Nothing on this site is for sale

We sell nothing through this website and take no payments through it. There is no shop, no cart, and no checkout. Every download, course, and blueprint published here is free. You get a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use those files for personal or internal business use. You may not redistribute or resell them without written permission.

Paid work — consulting, architecture, security, and managed engagements — is arranged under a separate written agreement, invoiced separately, and never transacted on this website. Where an engagement agreement and these terms conflict, the engagement agreement governs that engagement. To start that conversation, book a call.

3. The material here is educational, not advice

Courses, blueprints, checklists, articles, and reference pages on this site are educational resources. They are not consulting, legal, security, compliance, financial, or career advice, and using them does not create a client relationship, a professional duty, or an engagement. Compliance obligations and cloud architectures are specific to your organisation; get advice that accounts for your facts before you act.

4. Accuracy, and how this content is produced

Content on this site is AI-assisted: drafted with AI tooling and reviewed by a human before publication. That process is fast and it is not infallible. Cloud services, certification requirements, pricing, framework control numbers, and salary figures change frequently and can be wrong or out of date here. Verify anything you plan to act on against the vendor's own documentation. Where we cite a figure, treat it as a starting point for your own check, not as a substantiated representation.

Illustrative tools on this site — the ROI calculator and the assessment descriptions — produce estimates from inputs you supply. They are illustrations, not quotes, forecasts, or guarantees of any result.

5. Third-party content

Course material and articles link to third-party resources (AWS, Azure, GCP documentation, YouTube, GitHub, and others). We do not control that content, cannot guarantee its availability or accuracy, and do not endorse it by linking to it. Third-party services embedded here — the booking calendar, analytics, and web fonts — are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

6. Acceptable use

Do not use this site to: break the law; attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its infrastructure, or any account; probe, scan, or load-test it without our written permission; scrape it at a rate that degrades it for others; submit malware or malicious payloads through any form; misuse the contact forms to send spam, harassment, or bulk unsolicited messages; impersonate anyone; or strip, obscure, or misattribute the authorship of material you are licensed to use. We may block access that breaches this section.

7. Intellectual property

All content on this site — blueprints, course material, diagrams, and written content — is the intellectual property of Kehinde Ogunlowo / Citadel Cloud Management and is protected by copyright. The Citadel name and marks are ours. Framework and vendor names appearing on this site (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 42001, HIPAA, FedRAMP, CMMC, NIST) belong to their respective owners, and their appearance here is descriptive: it is not a claim of certification, authorisation, endorsement, or affiliation.

If you believe material here infringes your copyright, email info@citadelcloudmanagement.com identifying the work and the URL, and we will investigate and remove infringing material.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The site and everything free on it are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any content is current or correct. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties; in those places this section applies to the fullest extent permitted.

Uptime, response-time, and availability figures published on service pages describe targets that become commitments only when they are written into a signed engagement agreement. Nothing on this website is itself a service level agreement.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Citadel Cloud Management and its personnel are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption, arising out of or relating to your use of this website or of any free material obtained from it — whether the claim is in contract, tort, or any other theory, and even if we were told such damages were possible.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to this website and the free material on it will not exceed one hundred US dollars (US$100). This section does not limit liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death, or personal injury caused by negligence. Liability arising from a paid engagement is governed by that engagement's agreement, not by this section. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits; in those places they apply to the fullest extent permitted.

10. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold Citadel Cloud Management harmless from claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these terms, your misuse of the site, or your infringement of a third party's rights through material you obtained here.

11. Privacy

How the site handles personal information is set out in the Privacy policy and the Cookie policy, which form part of these terms.

12. Governing law and venue

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The state and federal courts located in Harris County, Texas have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from them, and you consent to that venue. Nothing here deprives a consumer of the protection of mandatory law in their country of residence.

13. Changes, severability, and the rest

We may update these terms; the "last updated" date reflects the current version, and continued use after a change means you accept it. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest stays in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. These terms, together with the policies they reference, are the entire agreement about your use of this website.
