Terms of Service

1. About the Service

ContractGuard NZ is an AI-assisted contract analysis platform built for the New Zealand construction industry. The platform helps subcontractors review, manage, and negotiate subcontract agreements. ContractGuard NZ is operated by Kompliy.

2. Accounts & Access

Access to ContractGuard NZ is by invitation only. Accounts are created by a Company Admin or by our team during onboarding. You are responsible for:

• •Keeping your login credentials secure and confidential.
• •All activity that occurs under your account.
• •Notifying us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.

Your Company Admin manages team access, roles, and permissions within your organisation.

3. Subscription & Payment

ContractGuard NZ operates on a subscription basis. Subscription plans determine the number of contract reviews, available features, and user seats. The specific terms of your subscription — including pricing, review limits, and billing cycle — are set out when your company account is created and may be updated with reasonable notice.

Demo accounts are provided for evaluation purposes and will expire after the agreed demo period. At the end of the demo, continued access requires an active subscription.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use ContractGuard NZ only for its intended purpose — reviewing and managing your construction contracts. You must not:

• •Share your account credentials with anyone outside your authorised team.
• •Upload documents that you do not have the right to access or analyse.
• •Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or extract data from the platform beyond your normal use.
• •Use the platform in any way that violates applicable New Zealand laws.

5. AI Analysis — Not Legal Advice

ContractGuard NZ provides AI-assisted contract analysis as a commercial decision-support tool. It does not provide legal advice.

Our AI analysis is designed to identify risks, highlight missing clauses, and flag potential issues in your subcontracts. While we aim for accuracy, AI analysis has inherent limitations — it may miss context-specific nuances or interpret clauses differently than a qualified lawyer would.

You should always have critical contracts reviewed by a qualified NZ construction lawyer before signing. Our "Share with Lawyer" feature makes this easy. The AI analysis should be treated as a starting point for discussion, not a substitute for professional legal advice.

6. Your Data & Intellectual Property

You retain full ownership of all contracts, documents, and data you upload to ContractGuard NZ. We do not claim any ownership or licence rights over your content beyond what is necessary to provide the service.

By uploading documents, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to process, store, and analyse those documents solely for the purpose of providing ContractGuard NZ services to you. This licence terminates when you delete the relevant data or close your account.

For details on how we collect, store, and protect your data, see our Privacy Policy.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by New Zealand law:

• •ContractGuard NZ is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
• •We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from your use of the platform.
• •Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the fees you have paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim.
• •We are not responsible for commercial decisions made based on AI analysis. You acknowledge that AI analysis is a tool to support — not replace — your own judgement and professional legal advice.

Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or any other rights that cannot be excluded by law.

8. Service Availability

We aim to provide reliable, continuous access to ContractGuard NZ, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. From time to time the platform may be temporarily unavailable for maintenance, updates, or due to factors beyond our control. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of planned downtime in advance.

9. Termination

Either party may terminate the subscription by providing reasonable written notice. We may suspend or terminate your access immediately if you breach these Terms. Upon termination:

• •You will retain access until the end of your current billing period (unless terminated for breach).
• •You may request an export of your data before your account is closed.
• •All associated data will be permanently deleted within 30 days of account closure.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of ContractGuard NZ will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you via email at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
