Terms of Service

Last updated: 29 January 2026

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using Aqta's AI governance platform ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you (either an individual or an entity, "Customer", "you", or "your") and Aqta Technologies Ltd, a company registered in Ireland with company number 807530 ("we", "us", or "our").

2. Description of Service

Aqta provides an AI governance platform that:

  • Detects and prevents infinite loops in AI agent systems
  • Tracks API usage and costs across multiple AI providers
  • Generates compliance-ready audit trails for regulatory requirements
  • Provides analytics and monitoring for AI systems

The Service acts as a gateway between your applications and AI providers. We process metadata only and do not store full prompts or responses.

3. Account Registration

To use the Service, you must:

  • Provide accurate and complete registration information
  • Maintain the security of your account credentials
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorised access
  • Be at least 18 years old or have legal capacity to enter into contracts

You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account.

4. Subscription and Payment

4.1 Subscription Plans

We offer multiple subscription tiers (Starter, Pro, Healthcare, Enterprise) with different features and usage limits. Current pricing is available at aqta.ai/pricing.

4.2 Billing

Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance. By subscribing, you authorise Aqta to charge your payment method according to the terms until you cancel.

4.3 Overage Charges

If you exceed your plan's included requests, overage charges apply at €0.0001 per additional request. You will be notified when approaching your limit.

4.4 Refunds

Subscription fees are non-refundable except as required by law or at our sole discretion.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any illegal purpose or in violation of any laws
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service or related systems
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers
  • Use the Service to transmit malware, viruses, or harmful code
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service
  • Resell or redistribute the Service without authorisation
  • Use the Service to process data you do not have rights to process

6. Data Processing and Privacy

For AI traffic processed through Aqta, you remain the data controller and we act as your data processor under GDPR. Our data processing practices are detailed in our Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement (DPA).

You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights and consents to process data through the Service and that you comply with all applicable data protection laws.

7. Intellectual Property

The Service, including all software, content, and trademarks, is owned by Aqta and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any ownership rights to the Service.

You retain all rights to your data and content. By using the Service, you grant us a limited licence to process your data solely to provide the Service.

8. Network Intelligence

Aqta maintains a proprietary database of anonymised loop patterns derived from aggregated usage across our customer base. This shared intelligence enables faster loop detection for all customers whilst maintaining strict privacy protections.

8.1 What We Store

We store cryptographic hashes (SHA-256) of loop pattern metadata, including:

  • Prompt sequence lengths (not content)
  • Model families (e.g., "gpt-4" not specific versions)
  • Timing information and frequency counts
  • Severity levels and industry categories

We never store: Actual prompts, responses, user identifiers, or any content that could reveal proprietary information or identify specific customers.

8.2 Privacy Guarantees

The hashing process is one-way and cryptographically secure. Even with access to our database, it is mathematically impossible to reverse-engineer the original prompts or identify specific customers. Only aggregated, anonymised metadata is retained.

This approach is similar to privacy-preserving systems used by Google Safe Browsing, Apple's CSAM detection, and Cloudflare's threat intelligence—all of which share hashed patterns without exposing underlying content.

8.3 Network Effects

When we detect a loop pattern for one customer, all customers benefit from faster detection—typically 3x faster—without any data sharing. This creates a network effect where the product improves as more customers use it, whilst maintaining zero-knowledge privacy.

8.4 Your Rights

You retain full ownership of your data and prompts. The pattern database and associated algorithms remain Aqta's confidential trade secrets. By using the Service, you contribute to this shared intelligence whilst benefiting from collective protection against loop patterns.

Opt-Out: Enterprise customers may request to opt out of pattern sharing by contacting support@aqta.ai. Note that opting out may reduce the effectiveness of loop detection for your account.

8.5 Compliance

This system is designed to comply with GDPR Article 5 (data minimisation), AI Act Articles 12 and 14 (transparency and human oversight), and HIPAA (no PHI stored). Technical documentation is available upon request for compliance review.

9. Service Availability

We strive to maintain high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service may be unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control.

Enterprise customers may have specific Service Level Agreements (SLAs) as outlined in their contracts.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind
  • We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages
  • Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid in the 12 months preceding the claim
  • We are not responsible for third-party AI provider outages or errors

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitation of liability, so these limitations may not apply to you.

11. Termination

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or for non-payment. Upon termination, your data will be deleted according to our retention policies.

12. Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be notified via email or through the Service. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ireland. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Ireland.
