02. Liability Notice
The User must only respond to emails received from the company’s official domains. Any communication received from a different domain —for example, variations with hyphens, generic domains such as @gmail.com or @yahoo.com, or domains with typographical errors— does not correspond to our organization, must be reported immediately, and Huron Smith Oil assumes no responsibility for damages, losses, or incidents of any nature arising from such fraudulent communications.

Any email purporting to come from HSO but using a different domain must be considered fraudulent and reported immediately.
04. Implemented Security Measures
To prevent the forgery and misuse of our corporate identity, we have implemented multiple layers of security:
- Robust email authentication: we have strictly configured the SPF (Sender Policy Framework), DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) and DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) protocols on all our domains to prevent email spoofing.
- Communication encryption: all communications between our servers and users’ browsers are conducted under the HTTPS protocol with TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption, guaranteeing the confidentiality and integrity of the transmitted data.
- Internal awareness: we periodically train all our employees in the detection and prevention of social engineering and phishing attacks, reinforcing the security culture.
- Continuous monitoring: we proactively monitor the use of our platforms and APIs to detect anomalous patterns that could indicate compromised accounts or unauthorized access attempts.
