1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using StandardPulse ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Description of Service

StandardPulse is a GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) intelligence platform that provides standards tracking, regulatory analysis, compliance mapping, and AI-powered reporting capabilities. The Service is currently in Beta and features may change without notice.

3. Beta Disclaimer

The Service is provided as a Beta release. While we strive for accuracy and reliability, you acknowledge that:

  • Features may be added, modified, or removed at any time
  • The Service may experience downtime or interruptions
  • AI-generated analyses are for informational purposes and should be reviewed by qualified professionals before relying on them for compliance decisions
  • Data loss may occur during beta — we recommend maintaining independent backups of critical data

4. User Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any illegal purpose
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems or data
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service's infrastructure
  • Use automated scripts, bots, or programmatic tools to access the Service without prior written consent
  • Submit excessive or unreasonable volumes of content for AI processing in a manner that degrades the Service for other users
  • Systematically extract, scrape, or bulk-download the Service's outputs, analyses, or control mappings
  • Reverse engineer or attempt to extract source code from the Service
  • Share your account credentials with unauthorized parties
  • Resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit the Service's outputs without authorization

6. Usage Limits & Fair Use

The Service includes AI-powered features that consume computational resources. To ensure quality and availability for all users, we enforce reasonable usage limits:

  • AI analysis requests are subject to per-user rate limits
  • Bulk or batch processing of documents may be throttled during periods of high demand
  • We reserve the right to suspend accounts that exhibit patterns of abuse or excessive automated usage

If you have high-volume needs that exceed standard usage limits, contact us to discuss enterprise arrangements.

7. Intellectual Property

Your Data: You retain all rights to data you upload or create within the Service. You grant us a limited license to process your data solely to provide the Service.

Our Service: The Service, including its design, code, and branding, is our intellectual property. The compliance control mapping data is based on the Secure Controls Framework (SCF), used in accordance with their licensing terms.

8. AI-Generated Content

Certain features generate content using artificial intelligence (Google Gemini). AI-generated analyses, reports, and recommendations are provided as-is and should not be considered legal, regulatory, or professional advice. You are responsible for reviewing and validating all AI-generated content before making compliance decisions.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO COMPLIANCE DECISIONS MADE BASED ON THE SERVICE'S OUTPUTS.

10. Termination

Either party may terminate this agreement at any time. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. We will make your data available for export for 30 days following termination, after which it may be deleted.

11. Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated through the Service. Continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.
