These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the Petronus website at petronus.com and any related pages, content, forms, or communications operated by Petronus LLC (“Petronus,” “we,” or “our”). By accessing or using the website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

Intended Audience

The Petronus website is intended for business and professional audiences, including healthcare organizations, operators of regulated care environments, and other professionals evaluating risk governance, regulatory compliance, and physical environment services. The website is not directed to consumers or to children under 13.

No Professional Advice; No Client Relationship

Information on the Petronus website is provided for general informational purposes only. Nothing on the website constitutes regulatory, legal, clinical, engineering, safety, or compliance advice, and nothing on the website substitutes for a formal assessment, regulatory counsel, or an established compliance program.

Use of the website, including submission of a contact form, subscription form, or inquiry, does not create a consulting, advisory, or client relationship between you and Petronus. A Petronus engagement begins only upon execution of a written scope, ordinarily following a Risk Signal Assessment.

Information You Submit

Information submitted through website forms, email, or other channels is handled in accordance with the Petronus Privacy Policy. You are responsible for the accuracy of information you submit and for ensuring that you have authority to submit it on behalf of any organization identified.

Please do not submit through the website any information that is protected health information, regulated patient information, attorney-client privileged information, trade secrets, or other information requiring a formal confidentiality, business associate, or non-disclosure agreement. Such information should be exchanged only under an appropriate written agreement with Petronus.

Intellectual Property

The website and its content—including text, copy, methodologies, frameworks, structure, design, graphics, logos, icons, photography, code, and the names of Petronus capabilities (including Risk Signal Assessment, Physical Environment Governance, Preparedness and Operational Resilience, and Corrective Action and Defensible Readiness)—are owned by Petronus LLC or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Forward-Looking and Illustrative Content

Content describing capabilities, methodologies, indicators, settings served, sector applicability, or potential outcomes is illustrative and reflects the Petronus governance approach as of the effective date above. Regulatory standards, conditions, and findings are facility- and jurisdiction-specific. Results depend on the engagement, the scope agreed in writing, and conditions present at the relevant setting.
