1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using Aqta's signed-decision services (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
These Terms constitute a binding agreement between you (either an individual or an entity, "Customer", "you", or "your") and Aqta Technologies Limited ("we", "us", or "our").
2. Description of Service
Aqta provides a receipts layer for AI that:
- Governs calls between your applications and AI providers through a single gateway, applying the policies you configure
- Produces a cryptographically signed record (a "receipt") for AI decisions
- Lets you, and the parties you authorise, verify those records independently, including offline and without relying on Aqta
- Supports your record-keeping and human-oversight obligations under applicable AI and data-protection law
The Service acts as a gateway between your applications and AI providers. We process metadata only and do not store the full content of your prompts or the providers' responses.
3. Account Registration
To use the Service, you must:
- Provide accurate and complete registration information
- Maintain the security of your account credentials
- Notify us immediately of any unauthorised access
- Be at least 18 years old or have legal capacity to enter into contracts
You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account.
4. Commercial terms and payment
4.1 Agreement
Aqta is not sold self-serve. Access is granted under a written pilot or licence agreement, and the scope, fees, term, and usage limits that apply to you are set out in that agreement. Where it and these terms conflict, your agreement governs. Contact hello@aqta.ai to discuss a pilot.
4.2 Fees and invoicing
Fees, billing frequency, and payment terms are those stated in your agreement. Where a request limit applies, requests beyond it receive a 429 response rather than an overage charge, until the limit resets or is raised under your agreement.
4.3 Refunds
Fees are non-refundable except as set out in your agreement, as required by law, or at our discretion.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any illegal purpose or in violation of any laws
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service or related systems
- Interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers
- Use the Service to transmit malware, viruses, or harmful code
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service
- Resell or redistribute the Service without authorisation
- Use the Service to process data you do not have rights to process
6. Data Processing and Privacy
For AI traffic processed through Aqta, you remain the data controller and we act as your data processor under GDPR. Our data processing practices are detailed in our Privacy Policy, and a Data Processing Agreement is available on request.
You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights and consents to process data through the Service and that you comply with all applicable data protection laws.
7. Intellectual Property
The Service, including all software, content, and trademarks, is owned by Aqta and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any ownership rights to the Service.
You retain all rights to your data and content. By using the Service, you grant us a limited licence to process your data solely to provide the Service.
8. Service Availability
We strive to maintain high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service may be unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control.
Where a Service Level Agreement (SLA) applies to you, it is set out in your contract.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind
- We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages
- Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid in the 12 months preceding the claim
- We are not responsible for third-party AI provider outages or errors
Some jurisdictions do not allow limitation of liability, so these limitations may not apply to you.
10. Termination
Either party may end the engagement in line with the notice and term provisions of your agreement. On termination you keep every receipt already issued: they verify offline against the published key with no dependency on Aqta.
We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or for non-payment. Upon termination, your data will be deleted according to our retention policies.
11. Changes to Terms
We may modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be notified via email or through the Service. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Ireland. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Ireland.
