Terms of Use

Last updated: July 17, 2026

These terms define how the website, service inquiries, qualification, orders, access, payment, and delivery work unless a separate written order changes the scope.

1. Operator and website use

Critical Web Ops is operated by Bc. Michal Poluch in the Czech Republic, business ID 75702592, VAT/tax ID CZ7901204608. Business correspondence starts by email. A postal contact and invoice details are provided before acceptance of paid work and on verified business, legal, or data-protection request.

This website is for business service inquiries and general information. It does not create an emergency support, consulting, employment, partnership, agency, or fiduciary relationship by itself.

You may not misuse the website, attempt unauthorized access, interfere with availability, scrape at abusive volume, or submit unlawful, confidential third-party, credential, or payment-card data through general forms.

2. Inquiries, qualification, and orders

Submitting a form, email, payment request, or calendar request does not mean that Critical Web Ops accepts the work. An engagement starts only after written confirmation of scope, price, timing, access requirements, payment terms, and any required data-processing terms.

The free website diagnostic is a limited automated read of public domain infrastructure, standard discovery/security-contact files, and the public homepage. It is not a vulnerability scan, penetration test, performance benchmark, legal compliance review, broad crawl, or confirmation that checkout and integrations work end to end. The submitter confirms that they own, manage, or are authorized to request the check for the submitted website.

The free diagnostic does not authorize login attempts, exploit testing, form submissions, account creation, purchase attempts, or access to non-public data. Critical Web Ops may refuse or rate-limit a target for security, abuse, robots, capacity, or legal reasons.

Requesting an emailed report copy does not by itself authorize an offer. The recipient must reply YES from that mailbox before Critical Web Ops sends one diagnostic follow-up.

Critical Web Ops may decline or pause work where the request creates unreasonable security, legal, payment, platform, conflict, or operational risk.

Requests are reviewed during European business hours. Same-day, after-hours, priority, or guaranteed response commitments apply only if they are expressly agreed in the accepted order.

3. Services

  • Priority Diagnostic: narrow diagnosis for one visible issue that blocks sales, leads, updates, or a revenue path.
  • Reliability Audit: fixed-scope diagnosis of checkout, forms, analytics, consent, updates, rollback paths, hosting, and operational risk.
  • Repair Sprint: implementation work after evidence supports a safe fix sequence.
  • Ops Care: planned office-hours support after a known technical baseline exists.

4. Client responsibilities

  • Provide accurate information about the website, ownership, business impact, recent changes, known incidents, and third-party dependencies.
  • Confirm that you have authority to request the work, grant access, and approve changes to the relevant systems.
  • Maintain backups unless the accepted order expressly includes backup creation or verification.
  • Provide licenses, hosting access, payment-provider access, analytics access, plugin/theme access, legal approvals, and stakeholder decisions needed for the agreed work.
  • Review deliverables and raise issues within the agreed acceptance window.

5. Access and security

Access should be temporary, least-privilege, and removed after the engagement. Prefer temporary accounts, role-based access, password-manager sharing, and client-controlled access logs.

Do not send passwords, recovery codes, API keys, SSH keys, payment-card data, or customer exports through plain email or the public inquiry form. If a secure sharing method is unavailable, work may be delayed.

A secure SFTP invitation is specific to one opaque diagnostic job, can be exchanged only once, and must not be forwarded. The intake accepts endpoint metadata and confirmations only; it does not accept an account password, private key, passphrase, or recovery code.

Before submitting SFTP access, the client must independently confirm the hosting provider's SSH host-key fingerprint and authorize a temporary SFTP-only account using the displayed Critical Web Ops public key. The client must revoke that account or key when the diagnostic ends.

Critical Web Ops may require a verified backup, staging environment, maintenance window, rollback plan, or written risk acceptance before production changes.

6. Prices, taxes, payment, and cancellation

Public prices are B2B starting points or ranges. They may exclude VAT, sales tax, withholding, currency conversion, bank charges, payment processing fees, third-party licenses, hosting costs, and after-hours premiums.

The accepted order identifies the available invoice, bank-transfer, or payment-processor method and any processor terms that apply. Do not send card details directly to Critical Web Ops.

The default payment model is full upfront payment for a Priority Diagnostic, a deposit or full upfront payment for audits and sprints, and monthly invoicing for care plans.

Late payment may pause delivery, support, access to future work, or handover of non-essential deliverables. Cancellation and refund treatment depends on the accepted order, work already performed, non-recoverable third-party costs, and mandatory law.

7. Delivery, acceptance, and changes

Deliverables may include diagnostic notes, audit reports, issue memos, configuration notes, fix summaries, code/configuration changes, access-removal reminders, and follow-up recommendations.

Unless the order says otherwise, change requests outside the accepted scope require separate approval and may change price or timing.

Client-side delays, missing access, third-party outages, hosting restrictions, plugin/vendor behavior, or payment-provider review can change delivery dates.

8. Client data and GDPR roles

For Critical Web Ops inquiries, orders, billing, and support records, Critical Web Ops normally acts as an independent controller.

When Critical Web Ops accesses a client website, logs, checkout data, customer records, analytics, or hosting environment only to deliver the agreed service, Critical Web Ops may act as a processor under the client's instructions. A separate data processing agreement must be agreed before GDPR-covered processor work starts.

Clients must avoid sharing unnecessary personal data and must confirm that they have a lawful basis to provide any customer, employee, contractor, or visitor data needed for the work.

9. Intellectual property

Client-specific reports, memos, configuration notes, and agreed fixes are delivered for the relevant engagement after payment according to the order.

Pre-existing tools, templates, checklists, methods, scripts, know-how, diagnostic approaches, and reusable materials remain the property of their original owner. The client receives only the rights expressly stated in the order.

10. Confidentiality

Both parties should protect non-public business, technical, access, customer, payment, and security information received during an engagement.

Confidentiality does not prevent disclosure required by law, court order, tax obligations, professional advisers under confidentiality duties, or security incident handling.

11. No guaranteed business outcome

Critical Web Ops can diagnose, stabilize, document, and implement agreed technical work. It does not guarantee revenue, conversion rate, ad performance, search ranking, uptime, uninterrupted availability, security outcome, or third-party platform behavior unless a specific written service level says otherwise.

12. Liability

Any liability limit must respect applicable law. Unless an accepted order says otherwise, the intended B2B liability cap is the fees paid for the affected order, with indirect loss, lost profit, lost revenue, data loss caused by unavailable backups, and third-party platform issues excluded where the law allows.

13. Governing law, consumers, and disputes

Unless an accepted order says otherwise, Czech law and Czech courts are the intended default for B2B engagements operated from the Czech Republic.

The public offer is intended for business customers. If consumer-law obligations apply to a specific customer, the order and legal text must be adjusted before acceptance.
