Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the website at varanguard.com, the services provided by Varanguard LLC ("Varanguard," "we," or "us"), the PremierGuard staff application, and any SMS messaging we operate. By using our website, contacting us, or engaging us for services, you agree to these Terms. SMS messaging consent is separate and is obtained only through the in-app opt-in flow described in Section 3.

1. Our services

Varanguard provides web design, web application development, networking, data migration, IT infrastructure consulting, and general business consulting services. Specific deliverables, timelines, and pricing for any engagement will be set out in a separate written statement of work or proposal that you and Varanguard both sign. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and your signed statement of work, the statement of work governs.

2. Eligibility

To use our website or services, you must be at least 18 years old and have the legal authority to enter into agreements on behalf of yourself or the organization you represent.

3. Text Messaging

PremierGuard SMS Messaging

PremierGuard SMS is an operational, work-related text messaging program for enrolled security guards. Messages may include shift check-in and break reminders, schedule updates, incident-report intake, and timecard or account-related alerts for your assignments.

PremierGuard messaging is operated by Varanguard LLC. Operational texts may be sent from +1 (888) 995-9896 and/or +1 (213) 577-1050.

• Message frequency varies.
• Message and data rates may apply.
• Reply STOP to opt out at any time.
• Reply HELP for help, or contact info@varanguard.com.

See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your information and SMS opt-in data.

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

How you opt in

Enrolled guards opt in inside the PremierGuard web app — not by texting a keyword. In Profile → SMS text messaging opt-in, you enter a mobile number, check a standalone consent box that is not pre-selected, tap Send verification code, and enter the one-time code we text to confirm enrollment. The full workflow is documented at varanguard.com/premierguard. SMS consent is kept separate from these Terms and from our Privacy Policy.

If you opt out of SMS by replying STOP, or if you choose not to opt in, your employer will coordinate with you by phone or in person instead.

No sharing of mobile information

No mobile information, SMS opt-in, or consent data is shared with or sold to third parties, affiliates, or lead generators for marketing or promotional purposes. A mobile number provided for messaging is used solely to deliver these operational messages. See our Privacy Policy for full details on how mobile information is handled.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the website or our services for any unlawful purpose
• Impersonate another person, agency, or Varanguard staff member
• Interfere with the operation of the website or services, or attempt to access data you are not authorized to access
• Reverse engineer, scrape, or copy substantial portions of the website without permission
• Transmit content that is harassing, threatening, fraudulent, defamatory, or that violates the rights of others

Varanguard may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms.

5. Intellectual property

The Varanguard name, logo, website content, and all related materials are owned by Varanguard LLC and are protected by intellectual property laws. You may not use them without our prior written permission, except as required for fair use or as expressly permitted in writing.

Work product Varanguard creates for you under a signed statement of work — including code, designs, and documentation — is assigned to you upon final payment, unless your statement of work specifies otherwise. We retain the right to use general knowledge, techniques, and skills developed during an engagement.

6. Fees and payment

Fees for services are set out in your statement of work. Invoices are due within the period specified on the invoice (typically 15 days). Late payments may incur reasonable late fees and may result in suspension of work until the account is brought current.

7. Service availability

We work to keep the website and any services we host running smoothly but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. SMS delivery depends on third-party carriers; see Section 3 for carrier liability limitations.

8. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

The website and services are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Varanguard is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from your use of the website or services. Varanguard's total cumulative liability arising from or related to these Terms is limited to the amount you have paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or one hundred US dollars (USD $100) if you have not paid us anything.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Varanguard harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the website or services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

10. Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement in accordance with the terms of the applicable statement of work. Upon termination, you remain responsible for fees for work performed up to the termination date. The sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification — will survive.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the website or via email if appropriate. Continued use of the website or services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
