Terms of service
You should not need a lawyer to find out what you just agreed to.
Each clause is stated twice: the formal text and a plain-English column. If the two ever disagree, tell us — that is a defect in the document, not a clever drafting choice.
01Scope of service
The clauseAdverant Limited (“Adverant”) provides the HONESTAS platform and related services as described in the applicable order. Capabilities identified on this site or in the documentation as “designed, not built” are excluded from the services until Adverant notifies you in writing that they are generally available.
In plain EnglishWe provide the platform described on this site. Where a capability is marked as designed and not built, it is not part of what you are buying until it ships — and the marking is contractual, not decorative.
02Your data and your models
The clauseAs between the parties, you retain all right, title and interest in your data and in the AI-provider accounts you configure. Adverant acquires no rights in your data beyond the limited licence necessary to provide the services, does not use your data to train models, and does not operate a shared credential behind your tenant.
In plain EnglishYour records stay yours. Your AI provider accounts stay yours. We do not train anything on your data, and we do not hold a shared credential behind your tenant.
03Evidence and export
The clauseYou may export your governed decision records in full at any time, in an open documented format, including the integrity hashes required to verify them independently. Adverant will not impose fees or technical measures whose purpose is to impede that export.
In plain EnglishThe governed records belong to you. You can export them in full at any time, in an open format, with the hashes that make them checkable after they leave us.
04Availability and failure
The clauseWhere a required verification cannot complete, the services are designed to withhold the affected output and to record a refusal event with a machine-readable code. Such a refusal constitutes designed behaviour and is not unavailability for the purposes of any service commitment.
In plain EnglishWhen a check cannot complete, the system refuses rather than guessing. A refusal is the designed behaviour, not an outage — and it is logged as such.
05What we do not warrant
The clauseAdverant does not warrant any regulatory outcome, approval or assessment. The services have not undergone conformity assessment under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 or any equivalent scheme, and neither these terms nor the services constitute legal advice. A mapping between a record and an obligation is not an assessment against that obligation.
In plain EnglishWe do not warrant a regulatory outcome. We are not conformity-assessed, and nothing here should be read as implying we are. Mapping to an obligation is a different claim from having been assessed against it.
06Changes to these terms
The clauseAdverant will give you written notice of any material change to these terms before it takes effect, identifying what changed. Continued use of the services after the stated effective date constitutes acceptance of the change.
In plain EnglishWe will tell you before they change, in writing, with what changed. A silent revision to a document about accountability would be self-refuting.
07Governing law
The clauseThese terms are governed by the laws of Ireland, and the courts of Ireland have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them. Adverant Limited is a company registered in Dublin, Ireland.
In plain EnglishIrish law. Adverant Limited is registered in Dublin, Ireland.
