Summary: By using Verdaio's tools you agree to these terms. Our AI-generated compliance analyses are informational only — not legal advice. You retain ownership of your data. We limit our liability to the maximum extent permitted by law.

If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our services.

5. AI-Generated Content and Compliance Guidance
Important: Verdaio's AI-generated analyses are informational guidance only. They do not constitute legal advice, regulatory advice, or a formal compliance assessment. You should not rely on them as the sole basis for compliance decisions.
Our tools use large language model AI to generate compliance analyses. While we work to ensure the quality and accuracy of outputs:
- AI outputs may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies.
- Regulatory requirements are subject to change; our tools may not reflect the most recent legal developments.
- The analyses are tailored to the inputs you provide — their accuracy depends on the accuracy and completeness of those inputs.
- For formal compliance filings, legal proceedings, or regulatory submissions, you should engage a qualified legal or compliance professional.
Verdaio does not accept liability for any compliance decisions made on the basis of our AI-generated outputs.
6. Intellectual Property
All content on verdaio.ai — including text, design, graphics, logos, and software — is owned by or licensed to Verdaio and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without our prior written consent, except as permitted by applicable law (e.g., fair use for commentary or educational purposes).
The AI-generated reports we deliver to you (your assessment results) are yours to use for your own internal business purposes. You may not resell them or present them as independently validated compliance assessments without qualification.
7. Your Data
You retain ownership of the data you submit to our tools. By submitting data, you grant Verdaio a limited licence to process that data solely for the purposes of providing the service and as described in our Privacy Policy.
We may use anonymised, aggregated data derived from assessments to publish market statistics and improve our services. No individual or company is identifiable in published statistics.
For full details of how we handle your data, please read our Privacy Policy.
8. Disclaimers
Our services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that:
- The service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure at all times.
- The results obtained from using the service will be accurate, complete, or reliable.
- Any errors in the service will be corrected.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties. If you are in such a jurisdiction, some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Verdaio and its directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, data, business, or goodwill — arising from your use of or inability to use our services.
In any case, our total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or our services shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) €100.
Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
