Ryla Proof

Effective Date: April 9, 2026

Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Ryla Proof platform ("Service"), operated by Ryla Ventures LLC ("Ryla Ventures," "we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

1. Description of Service

Ryla Proof is a guided self-assessment tool for CMMC Level 1 (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification). The Service helps government contractors and subcontractors evaluate their compliance with the 15 CMMC Level 1 practices aligned with FAR 52.204-21 (Basic Safeguarding of Covered Contractor Information Systems).

The Service includes organization profile setup, guided control assessments, evidence tracking, remediation management, results dashboards, share links, and exportable reports (Executive Summary, Narrative Package, and Implementation Matrix).

Ryla Proof is a private software product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or certified by the U.S. Department of Defense or any government agency. While our team includes Cyber AB Registered Practitioners, the Service itself is not a Cyber AB certified tool or assessment.

2. Account Registration

To use the Service, you must create an account using a valid email address. Authentication is handled through magic link email login. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for all activities that occur under your account.

You agree to provide accurate and complete information when creating your account and to update it as necessary. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

3. Prohibited Data

The Service is not authorized to store Federal Contract Information (FCI), Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), or classified data.

Users are strictly prohibited from entering FCI, CUI, or any classified government data into the Service. Ryla Proof is an assessment and tracking tool only. It does not process, store, or transmit controlled or classified information.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that such information is not entered into the Service. Violation of this prohibition may result in immediate termination of your account.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for its intended purpose: conducting CMMC Level 1 self-assessments for your organization. You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws or regulations.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or any systems or networks connected to the Service.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service.
  • Use the Service to develop a competing product or service.
  • Share your account credentials with others or allow multiple individuals to use a single account.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service.

5. Subscription and Payment

5.1 Pricing

The Service is offered on a subscription basis. Current pricing, including any applicable free trial or promotional offers, is displayed on the Service website. Prices are subject to change with 30 days' notice. We will notify you of any price changes by email to your registered address. Continued use of the Service after a price change takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the new pricing.

5.2 Promotional Offers

From time to time, we may offer promotional pricing or free access periods. Promotional offers are subject to specific terms communicated at the time of the offer and may be limited in availability.

5.3 Refunds

Subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law. If you are unsatisfied with the Service, you may cancel your subscription at any time, and your access will continue through the end of your current billing period.

6. Your Data

6.1 Ownership

You retain all ownership rights to the data you enter into the Service, including your organization profile, assessment responses, scope information, and any other content you provide ("Your Data"). We do not claim ownership of Your Data.

6.2 License to Us

By using the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to use, store, and process Your Data solely for the purpose of providing and improving the Service. We will not use Your Data for any other purpose without your consent.

We may use aggregated and anonymized data to improve the Service. Aggregated data does not identify you or your organization.

6.3 Data Portability

You may export your assessment data at any time using the export features within the Service (PDF, DOCX, and XLSX formats). If you need your data in a different format, contact us at support@rylaproof.com.

6.4 Data Deletion

You may reset your assessment data at any time from within the Service. If you wish to delete your account entirely, contact us at support@rylaproof.com, and we will delete your account and associated data within 30 days.

6.5 User Responsibility

While we implement safeguards to protect your data, you are responsible for maintaining copies of critical records. We recommend exporting your assessment data regularly.

7. Share Links

The Service allows you to generate read-only share links to share your assessment results with third parties. When you create a share link:

  • Anyone with the link can view your assessment data in read-only mode.
  • You are responsible for who you share the link with.
  • You can revoke any share link at any time, which immediately removes access.
  • Share links expire according to the expiration date set at creation.

We are not responsible for any consequences of sharing your assessment data via share links.

8. Feedback

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, modify, and incorporate that feedback into the Service without restriction or compensation.

9. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, code, content, assessment logic, control definitions, evidence guidance, report templates, and documentation, is the property of Ryla Ventures LLC and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

These Terms do not grant you any right to use the Ryla Proof name, logo, or trademarks without our prior written consent.

10. Disclaimers

In plain terms: Ryla Proof is a self-assessment guidance tool that helps you prepare for CMMC Level 1. It does not certify your organization, guarantee compliance, or replace a formal third-party assessment. Your compliance is ultimately your responsibility.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that:

  • The Service will meet your specific compliance requirements.
  • The Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.
  • The assessment results, evidence checklists, or remediation recommendations are complete, accurate, or sufficient for any particular regulatory purpose.
  • Your data will not be lost, corrupted, or accessed by unauthorized parties, although we implement reasonable safeguards to protect it.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the Service. Some features may be in beta and subject to change.

Important: Ryla Proof is a self-assessment guidance tool, not a legal or compliance service.

Ryla Proof provides tools and guidance for self-assessment purposes only and does not constitute legal, regulatory, or compliance advice. Use of the Service does not guarantee compliance with CMMC or any other regulatory framework. Using the Service does not establish an attorney-client, consultant-client, or auditor-client relationship.

Compliance with CMMC requirements is ultimately your responsibility. We strongly recommend consulting with a qualified CMMC assessor or legal professional for formal compliance determinations.

The Service does not replace the requirement to submit your self-assessment score to the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) or meet any other regulatory obligations.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RYLA VENTURES LLC, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, CONTRACTS, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Ryla Ventures LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

  • Your use of the Service.
  • Your violation of these Terms.

13.2 Termination by Us. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service for violation of these Terms, non-payment, or conduct that we reasonably believe poses a security risk or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties. Except in cases of serious violations (such as entering FCI or CUI data), we will provide at least 14 days' notice before termination.

13.3 Effect of Termination. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. We will retain your data for 30 days following termination, during which time you may contact us at support@rylaproof.com to request a copy of your data. After 30 days, your data will be permanently deleted unless we are required to retain it by law.

13.4 Service Discontinuation. If we decide to discontinue the Service entirely, we will provide at least 60 days' notice by email to your registered address. During that notice period, you may contact us at support@rylaproof.com to request a copy of your data before the Service closes.

14. Modifications to the Service and Terms

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service. For material changes that affect core functionality, we will provide at least 14 days' notice by email to your registered address. For minor changes such as bug fixes, UI improvements, or non-material feature updates, we may make changes without prior notice.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by posting a notice within the Service at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the updated Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance of the changes.

15. Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information and these Terms may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change and any choices you may have regarding your information.

16. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

Any disputes arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Fairfax County, Virginia, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys' fees.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.
