Article 1 — Parties and Formation
These AI Ethics Terms and Acceptable Use Agreement is a binding legal contract between Sentinel Corp, a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada, and the individual or entity that checks the acceptance box on the EVE Governance Platform. This Agreement is formed at the moment you check the acceptance box. Your acceptance is electronically recorded and constitutes a binding commitment to all terms herein. The timestamp, your account email, your IP address, and the version of this Agreement you accepted are permanently stored in Eve's audit record. If you are accepting on behalf of a corporation, partnership, government body, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have full authority to bind that entity.
Article 2 — Definitions
Platform means the EVE Governance Platform, including all software, APIs, evaluation engines, governance intelligence systems, reporting tools, user interfaces, and related services operated at eve-gov.ai. AI Output means any text, decision, recommendation, classification, score, assessment, prediction, or other content generated by any artificial intelligence system submitted by you to the Platform for governance evaluation. Verdict means the structured governance assessment produced by the Platform following evaluation of an AI Output, classified as CLEARED, REVIEW RECOMMENDED, or ESCALATED. A Verdict is an automated advisory assessment only and is not a legal determination, regulatory ruling, compliance certification, or professional opinion of any kind. Client AI System means any artificial intelligence system, machine learning model, automated decision system, or AI-powered tool that you own, operate, license, or use, the outputs of which you submit to the Platform. Consequential Decision means any decision or action that materially affects the legal rights, financial position, health, safety, employment, or other substantial interests of any person. Security Incident means any unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction of data, or any failure of security controls, affecting any system including Client AI Systems, regardless of whether the incident involves the Platform. Losses means all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, expenses, fines, penalties, judgments, settlements, and legal fees of any nature, whether direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary. Third Party means any person or entity other than Eve and you, including your employees, customers, patients, users, regulators, and counterparties.
Article 3 — What the Platform Is and Is Not
THE PLATFORM IS AN AI-POWERED GOVERNANCE ADVISORY TOOL. IT IS NOT A LAW FIRM, REGULATORY BODY, COMPLIANCE AUDITOR, SECURITY ASSESSOR, OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PROVIDER. NOTHING THE PLATFORM PRODUCES IS LEGAL ADVICE, REGULATORY GUIDANCE, A COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION, OR A GUARANTEE OF ANY OUTCOME. Every Verdict the Platform produces is an output of an automated artificial intelligence reasoning system designed to assist your human decision-makers in exercising their own judgment. A Verdict of CLEARED does not mean the AI Output is legally compliant, ethically permissible, accurate, safe, or appropriate for any use. A Verdict of ESCALATED does not mean the AI Output violates any law or regulation. You are solely responsible for determining how, whether, and in what contexts to use any AI Output, regardless of Verdict. The Platform does not replace qualified legal counsel, regulatory counsel, compliance professionals, medical professionals, financial advisors, or any licensed professional. Relying on a Verdict as a substitute for professional advice is a misuse of the Platform and a breach of this Agreement. By using the Platform you accept that: (a) the Platform is powered by artificial intelligence that may produce inaccurate, incomplete, or contextually inappropriate outputs; (b) the Platform's governance intelligence is updated regularly but may not reflect the most current regulatory developments in every jurisdiction; (c) the Platform has no knowledge of your specific legal obligations, contractual commitments, or regulatory status; and (d) the Platform cannot guarantee its Verdicts will align with the views of any regulatory authority, court, or arbitration panel. You retain sole and absolute authority over all decisions made in connection with your AI systems and business operations. No Verdict creates any obligation on you to take or refrain from any action.
Article 4 — Your Acknowledgements
By checking the acceptance box you make the following acknowledgements, each deemed repeated every time you use the Platform. You bear sole and exclusive responsibility for the design, development, training, deployment, operation, monitoring, and output of all Client AI Systems. Eve has no involvement in, control over, or responsibility for any Client AI System. Evaluating a Client AI System's output on the Platform does not transfer, reduce, or share that responsibility with Eve in any way. All Consequential Decisions you make — whether or not informed by a Verdict — are made solely by you and solely at your risk. You expressly acknowledge that no Verdict constitutes: (a) a determination that any AI Output complies with applicable laws or regulations; (b) a guarantee that using an AI Output will not result in regulatory enforcement, litigation, or liability; (c) a professional opinion of any licensed person in any jurisdiction; or (d) protection from liability to any Third Party. You agree you will not represent to any regulatory authority, court, counterparty, customer, or other person that a Verdict establishes compliance or legal permissibility. You acknowledge that the security of Client AI Systems is solely your responsibility and that Eve is not responsible for any Security Incident involving Client AI Systems, your data, or your infrastructure regardless of whether the incident occurs in connection with your use of the Platform. You represent that you employ or retain personnel with sufficient expertise to evaluate AI Outputs in the context of your industry and regulatory obligations, and that such personnel will exercise independent professional judgment in connection with any Consequential Decision. You represent and warrant that your use of the Platform, your Client AI Systems, and the AI Outputs you submit comply with all applicable laws and regulations in all jurisdictions where you operate.
Article 5 — Disclaimer of Warranties
THE PLATFORM AND ALL PLATFORM MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED AS IS AND AS AVAILABLE WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EVE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING: (a) WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT; (b) WARRANTIES THAT THE PLATFORM WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR OPERATE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURELY; (c) WARRANTIES AS TO THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, RELIABILITY, CURRENTNESS, OR QUALITY OF ANY VERDICT OR PLATFORM OUTPUT; (d) WARRANTIES THAT ANY VERDICT WILL REFLECT THE VIEWS OF ANY REGULATORY AUTHORITY OR COURT WITH JURISDICTION OVER YOUR OPERATIONS; (e) WARRANTIES THAT THE PLATFORM WILL DETECT ALL REGULATORY RISKS, ETHICAL CONCERNS, SECURITY VULNERABILITIES, OR OTHER ISSUES WITH ANY AI OUTPUT; (f) WARRANTIES THAT THE PLATFORM'S GOVERNANCE INTELLIGENCE IS CURRENT OR APPLICABLE IN YOUR SPECIFIC JURISDICTION; AND (g) WARRANTIES THAT USE OF THE PLATFORM WILL RESULT IN REGULATORY COMPLIANCE, REDUCED LEGAL EXPOSURE, OR IMMUNITY FROM ANY CLAIM. EVE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL IDENTIFY ALL HARMFUL, ILLEGAL, INACCURATE, OR INAPPROPRIATE AI OUTPUTS. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM AND RELIANCE ON ANY OUTPUT THEREOF.
Article 6 — Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EVE, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY: (a) INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES; (b) LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, OR REPUTATION; (c) LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA; (d) REGULATORY FINES, PENALTIES, ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS, OR COMPLIANCE COSTS; (e) LITIGATION COSTS, SETTLEMENTS, JUDGMENTS, OR LEGAL FEES ARISING FROM THIRD PARTY CLAIMS; (f) DAMAGES ARISING FROM SECURITY INCIDENTS INVOLVING CLIENT AI SYSTEMS OR YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE; (g) DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR RELIANCE ON ANY VERDICT OR PLATFORM OUTPUT; (h) DAMAGES ARISING FROM ANY AI OUTPUT PRODUCED BY A CLIENT AI SYSTEM REGARDLESS OF ITS VERDICT; OR (i) DAMAGES ARISING FROM ANY CONSEQUENTIAL DECISION YOU MAKE WHETHER OR NOT INFORMED BY A VERDICT. REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF EVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. EVE'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PLATFORM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE LESSER OF: (A) THE TOTAL FEES YOU PAID TO EVE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; OR (B) ONE THOUSAND CANADIAN DOLLARS (CAD $1,000.00). These limitations reflect a reasonable and fair allocation of risk between the parties and are an essential basis of the bargain. Eve has no liability whatsoever to any Third Party in connection with your use of the Platform, your Client AI Systems, or any AI Output regardless of Verdict.
Article 7 — Your Indemnification Obligations
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Eve and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, affiliates, and assigns from and against any and all Losses arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Platform including use of any Verdict in connection with any Consequential Decision; (b) any Client AI System including its design, training, deployment, operation, output, or failure; (c) any AI Output generated by a Client AI System including any harm caused to any Third Party regardless of Verdict; (d) any Security Incident involving Client AI Systems, your data, or your infrastructure; (e) any regulatory enforcement action, investigation, fine, or penalty arising from your use of AI systems; (f) any Third Party claim arising from your use of the Platform or any Platform output; (g) your breach of any representation, warranty, or obligation under this Agreement; (h) your violation of any applicable law in connection with your AI systems or use of the Platform; or (i) any misrepresentation to any Third Party that a Verdict establishes compliance, legal permissibility, or safety.
Article 8 — Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to operate any Client AI System in a manner that removes human oversight from Consequential Decisions affecting Third Parties. You agree to designate qualified human reviewers responsible for decisions made in reliance on AI Outputs in high-stakes contexts. Where an AI Output receives an ESCALATED Verdict, you agree to cause a qualified human reviewer to review that output and document their assessment before using it in any Consequential Decision. You agree not to represent to any Third Party, regulatory authority, court, or other person that a Verdict establishes legal compliance, regulatory clearance, professional certification, or freedom from legal liability. You shall not submit to the Platform: (a) Protected Health Information in violation of PHIPA, PIPEDA, HIPAA, or other applicable health privacy legislation; (b) content that is itself illegal; (c) content designed to manipulate or circumvent the Platform's evaluation processes; or (d) content that would require Eve to violate any applicable law by processing it. You shall accurately identify the industry vertical applicable to each AI integration you configure on the Platform. Misclassifying an integration's vertical to avoid applicable regulatory constraints or obtain a more favorable Verdict is fraud and a material breach of this Agreement. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of all API keys and access credentials. You must notify us immediately at counsel@eve-gov.ai if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account.
Article 9 — Data, Privacy, and Security
You represent and warrant that you have all rights, authorizations, and consents necessary to submit AI Outputs and any other data to the Platform. You are solely responsible for the legality and appropriateness of all data you submit. All data you submit to the Platform is stored within Microsoft Azure Canada Central infrastructure. AI evaluation processing is performed via Anthropic's API (United States) under data processing agreement, as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not use your evaluation content to train third-party AI models. While we implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures, no system is completely secure and we do not guarantee the absolute security of your data. You are strictly prohibited from submitting Protected Health Information through any Platform evaluation path not specifically designed and approved for PHI handling. You bear sole responsibility for ensuring no PHI is submitted to the Platform in violation of applicable privacy legislation. In the event of a security incident directly affecting data you have submitted to the Platform and held by us, we will notify you within 72 hours of confirming the incident. Eve's liability for any such incident is subject to the limitations in Article 6.
Article 10 — Intellectual Property
All rights in and to the Platform, including the four-layer governance architecture, evaluation criteria, Universal Doctrine principles, security intelligence architecture, verdict framework, algorithms, and all associated software and documentation, are and remain the exclusive property of Eve. You receive only the limited right to use the Platform as described in this Agreement. You may not reverse engineer, copy, distribute, or use the Platform to develop a competing product or service. You retain ownership of AI Outputs and data you submit to the Platform. Eve does not use your data to train AI models or share it with other clients.
Article 11 — Term and Termination
This Agreement is effective from the moment you check the acceptance box and continues until terminated. Either party may terminate at any time for any reason by providing written notice. We may terminate your access immediately without notice if: (a) you submit PHI to the Platform in violation of applicable privacy legislation; (b) you misrepresent Verdicts to regulatory authorities, courts, or Third Parties; (c) you use the Platform in connection with illegal activities; (d) you engage in adversarial conduct against the Platform including prompt injection; or (e) your continued use creates legal, regulatory, or reputational risk for Eve. On termination your license to access the Platform ends immediately. All provisions that by their nature should survive — including Articles 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, and 13 — survive termination.
Article 12 — Dispute Resolution
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PLATFORM SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY BY BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE ADR INSTITUTE OF CANADA, INC. UNDER ITS NATIONAL ARBITRATION RULES. ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED BY A SINGLE ARBITRATOR IN TORONTO, ONTARIO IN ENGLISH. YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING AGAINST EVE. ALL DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY ONLY. Any claim under or relating to this Agreement must be brought within one year of the date you knew or reasonably should have known of the facts giving rise to it. Claims not brought within this period are permanently barred.
Article 13 — General Provisions
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Platform and supersedes all prior representations and agreements. We may update this Agreement at any time by posting a revised version with at least 30 days notice for material changes. Your continued use after the effective date of any amendment constitutes acceptance. If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable it is severed and the remaining provisions continue in full force. You may not assign this Agreement without Eve's prior written consent. No Third Party has any rights under this Agreement. The parties have agreed that this Agreement be drawn up in English. Les parties ont convenu que la présente entente soit rédigée en anglais.
