Clients must only request work on systems, accounts, services, data, or infrastructure they own, control, or are authorized to administer. YellowStone River Digital LLC may require proof of authorization before performing work.

Client Industry Restrictions

YellowStone River Digital LLC may refuse or terminate work for clients, projects, websites, applications, or infrastructure connected to restricted or prohibited industries, including money services businesses, payment facilitation, escrow, investment or crypto services, adult entertainment, gambling, cannabis, regulated pharmaceuticals, weapons, fake IDs, counterfeit goods, illegal drugs, unlawful content, or any business that creates unacceptable legal, payment, banking, provider, sanctions, export control, security, or abuse risk.

Remote Support Boundaries

Technical support is provided only after a client-initiated request and agreed scope.

Infrastructure Responsibility

YellowStone River Digital LLC does not sell, lease, resell, or provide VPS, server, cloud, proxy, or hosting infrastructure as a standalone service.

For new infrastructure projects, clients are generally expected to contract directly with the infrastructure provider.

The client remains responsible for the lawful use, provider terms, billing relationship, content, data, backups, credentials, users, and activity associated with any third-party infrastructure account or service the client owns, controls, or contracts. YellowStone River Digital LLC may refuse to work on, administer, migrate, or support infrastructure when the company believes the infrastructure, client, content, traffic, application, or intended use creates unacceptable legal, provider, payment, banking, sanctions, export control, security, or abuse risk.
