AI Compliance Vendors

Terms of Service

Effective 26 April 2026 · Last updated 26 April 2026

These terms govern your use of aicompliancevendors.com (“the site”, “we”, “us”). By accessing or using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site. Capitalised terms have the meanings shown here or in our Privacy Policy.

1. What the site is

The site is an independent editorial directory of vendors, audit firms, frameworks, and tooling related to AI governance, AI risk management, and AI compliance. We publish vendor profiles, comparisons, framework explainers, and free interactive tools. Our editorial method is documented on the Methodology page.

2. Not legal, regulatory, or professional advice

Content on the site, including framework explainers, the EU AI Act risk classifier, the Fundamental-Rights Impact Assessment template, the AI risk register starter, the cost calculator, articles, blog posts, and vendor profiles, is provided for general information and educational purposes only. It is not legal advice, regulatory advice, audit advice, tax advice, or any other professional advice, does not establish any attorney–client or other professional relationship, and must not be relied on for compliance, contractual, or risk-management decisions without your own qualified counsel and assessment.

Where we summarise statutes, regulations, or standards, we cite primary sources. The primary source controls. Effective dates, thresholds, and obligations change — verify with the controlling text and an appropriately qualified adviser before acting. We make no representation that the interactive tools produce a legally sufficient assessment, conformity record, or impact assessment; they are starting points only.

3. Editorial independence and Featured slots

Every vendor listing is free. Vendors may claim a profile at no cost to correct facts, add citations, and update assets — profile claims do not influence rankings, comparisons, or editorial assessments. Vendors may also purchase a Featured slot in directory listings; Featured slots are clearly labelled wherever they appear and never influence editorial best-of rankings, head-to-head comparisons, methodology, or written commentary. The full conflict-of-interest policy is on the Methodology page.

4. Lead routing and RFP forwarding

When you submit a Get Quotes form, RFP, or similar request, you select the vendors that should receive it. We forward your submission to those selected vendors only. We may charge each vendor a per-qualified-lead fee (commonly $50–$75) for receiving routed leads. We do not charge buyers, we do not pre-select vendors, and we do not change rankings based on which vendors pay for routed leads.

Once forwarded, each receiving vendor is an independent controller of the contact details you submitted. Their handling, retention, and outreach are governed by their own privacy policy and contract with you, not by us. You may ask us to delete the original submission at any time using the Privacy Policy rights process; deletion at our end does not retract a copy already delivered to the vendors you selected, but you can contact those vendors directly.

5. Vendor profile claims

A vendor representative may claim a profile by submitting the vendor-claim form using a corporate email at the vendor’s domain and providing evidence of authority to represent the vendor. We verify the claim out-of-band. Once verified, a single named claimant has edit access via the vendor portal. Edits go through editorial review before publication. We may revoke claim access if the claimant violates these terms or if the underlying authority is rescinded.

Claimants must not submit content that is false, misleading, infringing, or that fabricates customer, certification, or framework-coverage claims. We cross-check material claims against public sources and will reject or remove claims we cannot verify.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use automated means to harvest, scrape, or copy vendor profiles, comparisons, or pricing information beyond what robots.txt and rate-limits permit, or republish material portions of the directory without written permission.
  • Submit forms with false names, fake company affiliations, or content intended to defame a vendor.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the site or its tools.
  • Interfere with the site’s operation, including by attempting to bypass rate-limits, security controls, or access controls on admin or vendor-portal pages.
  • Use the site to train a commercial model, derivative directory, or AI search product without a separate written licence.
  • Submit content that infringes any third party’s intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.

7. Intellectual property

Editorial content, design, code, and the directory’s structured data are owned by the editorial team or licensed to us. You may quote short excerpts (typically 50 words or less) with attribution and a link back, consistent with fair use / fair dealing. Vendor logos, names, and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used here for nominative description.

By submitting content (claim edits, list-your-company submissions, comments) you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to use that content to operate, promote, and improve the directory. You retain ownership.

8. Featured slot purchases

Featured slot orders are governed by these terms plus the order form you sign at purchase. Payments are processed by Stripe under its own terms; refunds are governed by the order form (typically pro-rata for unused months on a quarterly term). Featured slot status does not entitle a vendor to favourable editorial treatment, ranking adjustments, or removal of negative editorial commentary.

9. Third-party links and content

The site links to third-party websites including vendor websites, regulator pages, and primary sources. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices. Visiting a third-party site is at your own risk, subject to that site’s terms.

The site discloses common ownership with ailawsbystate.com, ailawsuittracker.com, and soc2vendors.com. Each is operated as a separate publication with independent terms and privacy policy.

10. Disclaimers

The site is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, and availability. We do not warrant that vendor profiles are exhaustive, that framework summaries are current as of any specific date other than the last-verified date shown, or that interactive tools produce results suitable for any particular regulatory submission.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or relating to your use of the site, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our aggregate liability for any direct damages will not exceed (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or (b) USD $100 if you have not paid us anything — whichever is greater. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the smallest amount the law allows.

12. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from any claim, loss, or expense arising out of (a) your violation of these terms, (b) your submission of content that infringes a third party’s rights, or (c) your unauthorised use of the directory’s data. We will notify you of any claim and reasonably cooperate with your defence; you may not settle a claim that imposes any obligation on us without our written consent.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the site or to vendor-portal features if you breach these terms or use the site in a way that risks harm to other users or to the site itself. You may stop using the site at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 7 (intellectual property), 10–12 (disclaimers, limitation, indemnity), and 14–16 (governing law, disputes, miscellaneous).

14. Governing law and venue

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The exclusive venue for disputes that are not subject to arbitration (Section 15) is the state and federal courts located in Delaware, and you and we consent to personal jurisdiction there. If you are an EU/EEA, UK, or Swiss consumer, mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence still apply.

15. Disputes

Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us at editorial@aicompliancevendors.com and give us 30 days to resolve the dispute informally. If the dispute is not resolved, you and we agree that any dispute under these terms will be resolved by individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, seated in Wilmington, Delaware. No class actions, class arbitrations, or representative actions. You may opt out of this arbitration provision within 30 days of first using the site by emailing “ARBITRATION OPT-OUT” to the address above.

16. Miscellaneous

  • If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect.
  • Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
  • You may not assign these terms; we may assign them to an affiliate or successor.
  • These terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Methodology page, are the entire agreement on the topics they cover.

17. Changes

We will update the “Last updated” date when we change these terms. For substantive changes we will give 30 days’ notice via a banner on the site and, where applicable, an email to active vendor-portal users. Continued use after the effective date counts as acceptance of the updated terms.
