Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using the Cyber Guardian Corps ("CGC") website and services, operated by Lionfish Cyber Security LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our services.

2. Description of Services

CGC provides cybersecurity and compliance training programs for college students, along with access to our GRC platform, mentorship, and client matching services. Students participate as independent contractors (1099) and are responsible for their own client relationships and work product.

3. Eligibility

To participate in CGC programs, you must:

• Be at least 18 years of age
• Be currently enrolled in or recently graduated from an accredited college or university
• Be legally authorized to work in the United States as an independent contractor
• Have access to a computer and reliable internet connection
• Complete the required training curriculum

4. Subscription and Payment

The program requires a one-time certification training fee of $3,999 (or financing: $1,000 down + $330/month for 12 months), which covers the 40-hour GRC training curriculum. After completing training, student subscriptions are billed monthly at the current rate (currently $49/month). By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel. You may cancel your monthly subscription at any time, and cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing period. The $3,999 training fee is non-refundable.

Clients brought onto the platform are subject to a separate platform fee ($100/month), which students should include in their service quotes.

Students participating in CGC are independent contractors, not employees of Lionfish Cyber Security LLC or CGC. As independent contractors, students are responsible for:

• Their own taxes, including self-employment taxes
• Obtaining any necessary business licenses or permits
• Maintaining appropriate professional liability insurance (recommended)
• The quality and timeliness of their work with clients
• Compliance with all applicable laws and regulations

6. Client Relationships

CGC facilitates connections between trained students and potential clients, but does not guarantee client opportunities. Students are responsible for their own client acquisition, relationship management, and service delivery. CGC and Lionfish Cyber Security LLC are not parties to agreements between students and their clients.

7. Platform and Tools

Access to the Lionfish GRC platform and other tools is provided as part of your subscription.
