By creating an account, clicking "I Agree", or accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

1. Service Description

Audit-IQ provides software tools that assist organisations in interpreting regulatory documents, extracting obligations, summarising requirements, mapping evidence, and organising compliance workflows.

Audit-IQ is a technology platform and does not provide legal, regulatory, audit, or compliance advice. Any outputs, summaries, or insights generated by the Service must be independently reviewed by qualified professionals before being relied upon.

2. AI-Generated Outputs

The Service uses artificial intelligence and automated processing technologies.

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • AI-generated outputs may contain inaccuracies, omissions, or errors.
  • Outputs may not reflect the most recent regulatory updates or jurisdiction-specific nuances.
  • The Service does not guarantee regulatory compliance, audit readiness, or outcomes.
  • You remain solely responsible for validating outputs and deciding how (or whether) to use them.

Audit-IQ is not responsible for decisions, actions, or omissions taken based on AI-generated outputs.

3. Eligibility

Audit-IQ retains all rights, title, and interest in and to the Service, including its software, user interface, processing pipelines, models, infrastructure, and related intellectual property.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, you may use outputs generated by the Service specifically for you for your internal business purposes. Audit-IQ retains all underlying intellectual property in the Service and its technology.

7. Data Processing & Privacy

Audit-IQ processes data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Where Audit-IQ processes personal data on your behalf, you act as the data controller and Audit-IQ acts as a data processor. Processing is limited to providing the Service.

You are responsible for ensuring you have appropriate legal basis and permissions to upload and process any personal data within the Service.

Audit-IQ may use trusted subprocessors (including cloud and AI infrastructure providers). A list of subprocessors is available on our Subprocessors page.

8. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data, including encryption in transit, access controls, and monitoring. More details are provided on our Security page.

However, no system is completely secure, and we do not guarantee absolute security.

9. Billing, Subscriptions & Plan Changes

Audit-IQ offers subscription-based access to the Service. Fees are billed in advance on a recurring monthly or annual basis, depending on the selected plan. Payments are processed by Stripe and Audit-IQ does not store payment card details.

Plan upgrades

If you upgrade your subscription (for example, from Starter to Consultant), the upgrade takes effect immediately. A new billing cycle begins on the upgrade date, and the full fee for the upgraded plan is charged at that time. Any unused time on the previous plan is forfeited.

Plan downgrades

If you downgrade your subscription, the downgrade takes effect at the end of your current billing period. No refunds or credits are provided for unused time on the higher-tier plan.

Refunds

Unless required by applicable law, subscription fees are non-refundable.

We may suspend or terminate access if:

  • These Terms are violated
