Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern access to and use of the ClauseBridge platform, website and related services ("ClauseBridge" or the "Service").

ClauseBridge is a business-to-business software service intended primarily for organisations involved in or considering U.S. Government and defence contracting.

By creating an account, purchasing a subscription or using the Service, the customer agrees to these Terms.

ClauseBridge provides software tools designed to assist users in reviewing, organising and understanding information relating to U.S. Government contracting, including FAR and DFARS requirements.

Features may include clause libraries, company positions, project-specific clause reviews, regulatory updates, document analysis, artificial intelligence-assisted functionality and related compliance tools.

ClauseBridge may modify and improve the Service over time.

ClauseBridge provides information, software-assisted analysis and decision support.

ClauseBridge does not provide legal advice and does not act as legal counsel to the customer.

Clause summaries, practical guidance, applicability assessments, flowdown information, artificial intelligence-generated content and regulatory updates may assist the customer's review but must not be treated as a substitute for professional legal, contractual, regulatory, export-control or compliance advice.

Customers remain responsible for their own contractual and compliance decisions.

Where appropriate, users should verify requirements against authoritative U.S. Government sources and obtain professional advice.

ClauseBridge seeks to provide accurate and current information concerning FAR, DFARS and related U.S. Government contracting requirements.

Regulations, clauses, agency supplements, interpretations and contractual requirements may change.

ClauseBridge does not warrant that every clause, interpretation, summary, regulatory update or applicability assessment is complete, current or applicable to a particular contract.

The governing solicitation, contract, subcontract and authoritative U.S. Government sources remain controlling.

Certain ClauseBridge functionality may use artificial intelligence to analyse documents, identify clauses, compare contractual requirements, generate summaries or assist users with other tasks.

AI-generated results may contain errors, omissions or incorrect interpretations.

AI output must therefore be treated as decision-support information and reviewed by an appropriately qualified person before being relied upon for contractual, legal or compliance decisions.

ClauseBridge must not present AI-generated content as authoritative U.S. Government guidance.

Customers retain ownership of information and documents they submit to ClauseBridge, subject to the rights necessary for ClauseBridge to provide the Service.

ClauseBridge may process customer data only as reasonably necessary to:

• provide the Service;
• perform requested document analysis;
• maintain and secure the platform;
• provide customer support;
• comply with applicable law; and
• perform other processing expressly agreed with the customer.

ClauseBridge does not acquire ownership of customer contracts, clause lists, company positions, project information or uploaded business documents merely because they are processed through the Service.

Customers should only upload information that they are authorised to disclose and process through ClauseBridge.

Users remain responsible for determining whether contractual, statutory, security, export-control or confidentiality restrictions apply to information before uploading it.

ClauseBridge will implement reasonable technical and organisational measures appropriate to the nature of the Service and the data being processed.

Unless ClauseBridge expressly confirms otherwise in writing for the customer's specific subscription and environment, users must not upload Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) to ClauseBridge.

This includes information subject to safeguarding requirements under applicable U.S. Government regulations where the ClauseBridge environment has not expressly been approved for such processing.

A ClauseBridge subscription, security feature or encryption mechanism must not by itself be interpreted as confirmation that the Service satisfies CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, DFARS 252.204-7012 or other U.S. Government information-security requirements.

Where users are uncertain whether information constitutes CUI or is otherwise restricted, they should not upload the information until the classification and applicable requirements have been established.

Customers are responsible for determining whether information uploaded to ClauseBridge is subject to export controls, technology-transfer restrictions, security classifications, contractual restrictions or other applicable controls.

Users must not upload classified information to ClauseBridge.

Unless ClauseBridge expressly agrees otherwise in writing and has established an appropriate environment, users must not upload export-controlled technical data or other restricted information where processing by ClauseBridge or its subprocessors would violate applicable laws, regulations, licences or contractual obligations.

ClauseBridge uses technical and organisational safeguards intended to protect customer information.

Where implemented within the applicable ClauseBridge environment, these may include:

• encryption in transit;
• encryption at rest;
• access controls;
• authentication;
• logging;
• backups; and
• other security measures.

ClauseBridge does not guarantee that any information system can be completely protected against every security threat.

Customers are responsible for maintaining appropriate security over their own accounts, credentials, devices and authorised users.

ClauseBridge may use third-party infrastructure providers, artificial intelligence providers, hosting providers, authentication providers, payment providers and other subprocessors where necessary to provide the Service.

ClauseBridge will seek to configure such processing in accordance with applicable contractual, security and privacy requirements.

Where customer information is transmitted to an external AI or infrastructure provider, such processing should be limited to what is reasonably necessary to provide the relevant functionality.

Applicable subprocessors and material data-processing arrangements should be described in ClauseBridge's Privacy Notice and/or Data Processing Agreement where required.

ClauseBridge must not represent that customer data is never shared with third-party infrastructure or AI providers unless this is technically and contractually verified.

Users must keep their login credentials secure and must not knowingly permit unauthorised persons to access their account.

Customers are responsible for activities carried out through accounts assigned to their organisation, except to the extent caused by a security failure attributable to ClauseBridge.

ClauseBridge subscriptions are provided according to the plan selected by the customer.

Available functionality, number of users, project limits, AI functionality, regulatory updates and other entitlements may differ between subscription plans.

Unless otherwise agreed, paid subscriptions are billed according to the pricing and billing period presented at purchase.

Applicable taxes may be added where required.

Additional commercial terms presented during checkout, in an order form or in an Enterprise agreement may supplement these Terms.

ClauseBridge and its licensors retain all intellectual-property rights in the Service, including software, platform architecture, design, databases, original editorial content, summaries and other proprietary materials.

Customers retain their rights in their own data and documents.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of ClauseBridge intellectual property to the customer.

Users must not:

• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service;
• circumvent subscription or access restrictions;
• introduce malicious code;
• interfere with platform security;
• use ClauseBridge unlawfully;
• upload information they are not authorised to process;
• upload prohibited CUI, classified or restricted information;
• use the Service to violate applicable sanctions or export-control laws;
• attempt to extract protected backend data or security credentials; or
• systematically reproduce, scrape or redistribute proprietary ClauseBridge content without authorisation.

ClauseBridge aims to provide a reliable Service but does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability.

Maintenance, security updates, third-party outages or other circumstances may temporarily affect availability.

Features may be modified where reasonably necessary to improve, secure or maintain the Service.

ClauseBridge may also update regulatory content, clause information and AI functionality as underlying sources and technology change.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ClauseBridge will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses arising from use of the Service, including losses resulting from reliance on:

• AI-generated analysis;
• clause summaries;
• applicability assessments;
• flowdown assessments;
• regulatory updates; or
• other ClauseBridge guidance.

ClauseBridge's aggregate liability shall be limited to the amount specified in the applicable subscription agreement, order form or other commercial agreement.

Where no separate liability limitation has been agreed, the applicable limitation shall be determined under these Terms and applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Customers may cease using ClauseBridge in accordance with their applicable subscription terms.

ClauseBridge may suspend or terminate access where reasonably necessary because of:

• material breach of these Terms;
• non-payment;
• unlawful use;
• security threats;
• prohibited data uploads;
• misuse of the Service; or
• conduct that materially threatens ClauseBridge, its infrastructure or other customers.

Where reasonably possible, ClauseBridge will provide notice before suspension or termination.

Processing of personal data is governed by the ClauseBridge Privacy Notice and, where applicable, a Data Processing Agreement.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, these Terms are governed by Norwegian law.

Disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the courts of Norway.

The specific legal venue may be further specified by ClauseBridge before commercial launch or in the applicable customer agreement.
