3. Description of Services
3.1 Platform Overview
Difinity provides an enterprise AI governance platform that delivers runtime compliance enforcement for regulated industries. The Platform provides a unified governance layer between your applications and LLM providers, intercepting, scanning, enforcing, and logging every AI interaction in real time. Key capabilities include Difinity Hub (governance console), Difinity Flow (runtime enforcement gateway), PII Detection and Redaction, Secure Chat, Prompt Registry, LLM Analysis, Cost Dashboard, Audit Trail, Content Filtration, and Intelligent Routing.
3.2 Integration Levels
The Platform supports three integration levels: Full Routing (all AI traffic flows through Difinity Flow for enforcement and logging), Audit-Only (AI traffic is monitored and logged without active enforcement), and Verify-Only (specific requests are validated against policies without full routing). The applicable integration level is determined by the Customer's configuration.
3.3 Supported LLM Providers
The Platform currently supports integration with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google (Gemini), xAI (Grok), and DeepSeek. Difinity may add or remove supported providers at its discretion. The Customer is responsible for maintaining valid API credentials and subscriptions with their chosen LLM providers.
3.4 Compliance Frameworks
The Platform is designed to support compliance with the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001:2023, NIST AI Risk Management Framework, OECD AI Principles, the Australian AI Ethics Framework, the Singapore FEAT framework, and the proposed Canadian Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA). Difinity does not guarantee regulatory compliance, as compliance depends on the Customer's specific use cases, configurations, and organisational context.
4. Account Registration and Security
4.1 Account Creation
To access the Platform, you must create an account and provide accurate, complete, and current registration information. You agree to update your information promptly if it changes.
4.2 Account Security
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must immediately notify Difinity at legal@difinity.ai if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account or any other breach of security. Difinity is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account credentials.
4.3 Authorised Users
The Customer is responsible for ensuring that all Authorised Users comply with these Terms. The Customer is liable for the acts and omissions of its Authorised Users as if they were the Customer's own.
5. Subscription, Fees, and Payment
5.1 Subscription Plans
Difinity offers two primary subscription models: (a) Usage-Based Subscription (SaaS), a fully managed cloud infrastructure with metered per-request billing and a transparent markup on underlying AI usage costs; and (b) Private Cloud / On-Premises License (Enterprise), for regulated enterprises requiring full data sovereignty, with dedicated deployment within the customer's infrastructure, custom compliance frameworks, and dedicated support and SLAs. Specific pricing, payment terms, and usage limits are set out in the applicable Order Form or Enterprise Agreement.
5.2 Fees and Payment
Fees are as specified in the applicable Order Form or Enterprise Agreement. All fees are quoted exclusive of applicable taxes unless otherwise stated. You agree to pay all fees when due.

5.3 Taxes
You are responsible for all taxes, duties, levies, and other governmental charges imposed on the Services (excluding taxes based on Difinity's net income). Where Difinity is required to collect or remit taxes, those taxes will be invoiced to you and payable as part of the applicable fees.
5.4 No Minimum Commitment
Unless otherwise specified in an Enterprise Agreement, the Usage-Based Subscription has no minimum commitment. You may start small and scale as AI adoption grows.
6. Acceptable Use Policy
You agree to use the Services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not, and must not permit any Authorised User or third party to:
(a) use the Services in violation of any applicable law, regulation, or industry standard, including the EU AI Act, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOX, BSA, or any other applicable regulatory framework;

7. Intellectual Property
7.1 Difinity's Intellectual Property
The Platform, Site, documentation, and all related intellectual property rights (including patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and know-how) are and remain the exclusive property of Difinity and its licensors. These Terms do not grant you any right, title, or interest in the Platform or any related intellectual property, except for the limited right to use the Services in accordance with these Terms.
7.2 Customer Data Ownership
As between Difinity and the Customer, the Customer retains all rights, title, and interest in and to Customer Data. The Customer grants Difinity a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to process Customer Data solely for the purpose of providing the Services and as otherwise permitted by the DPA.
7.3 Aggregated and Anonymised Data
Difinity may generate aggregated and anonymised data derived from the use of the Platform that does not identify the Customer or any individual ("Aggregated Data"). Difinity owns all rights in Aggregated Data and may use it for any lawful purpose, including improving the Services, conducting research, and publishing benchmarks.

If you provide Difinity with feedback, suggestions, or recommendations regarding the Services ("Feedback"), you grant Difinity an irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use, modify, and incorporate Feedback into the Services without obligation or compensation.
8. Data Processing and Privacy
8.1 Privacy Policy
Difinity processes personal data in accordance with its Privacy Policy, available at https://difinity.ai/privacy. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
8.2 Data Processing Agreement
Where Difinity processes personal data on behalf of the Customer (acting as a data processor), the parties will enter into a DPA that complies with the requirements of the EU GDPR (Article 28), the UK GDPR, and any other applicable data protection legislation. The DPA governs the nature, purpose, and duration of processing, the categories of personal data and data subjects, and the rights and obligations of the parties. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the DPA, the DPA prevails with respect to data protection matters.
8.3 PII Protection
Difinity's PII Detection and Redaction features operate as configured by the Customer. When enabled, PII is automatically detected and redacted before data is transmitted to external LLM providers. Difinity does not store unredacted PII after the redaction process is complete. The Customer is responsible for configuring PII handling settings appropriate to its regulatory requirements and risk tolerance.
8.4 Sub-processors
Difinity may engage sub-processors to assist in the provision of the Services. A current list of sub-processors is available upon request. Difinity will notify the Customer of any intended changes to sub-processors and provide the Customer with an opportunity to object as set out in the DPA.
8.5 Data Localisation
The Platform is deployed across AWS Sydney (ap-southeast-2) and AWS Frankfurt (eu-central-1). Customer Data is processed and stored within the region corresponding to the Customer's deployment, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Enterprise customers may request data residency controls as part of their Enterprise Agreement.
