This website at www.compliance365.com.au (Site) is operated by Compliance365 Pty Ltd (ACN 677952359) (Compliance365, we, us, our), a compliance consulting firm based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

These Terms govern your use of the Site, including all content, tools, interactive features, and functionality available on it. Our service engagements are governed by separate written agreements entered into with clients directly. These Terms do not constitute, modify, or replace any such engagement agreement.

2. General Information Only — Not Professional Advice

All content published on this Site — including articles, blog posts, guides, checklists, framework summaries, and comparison tables — is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal, regulatory, security, risk management, or compliance advice, and must not be relied upon as such.

Compliance requirements vary significantly depending on your organisation's size, sector, jurisdiction, systems, and specific circumstances. You should obtain independent professional advice tailored to your situation before making any compliance, legal, or security decisions. Compliance365 accepts no liability for decisions made in reliance on general website content.

3. AI Chat Tool — Important Limitations

Our website includes an AI-powered chat assistant (AI Tool). You acknowledge and agree that:

• Responses generated by the AI Tool are automated and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. They do not constitute professional compliance, legal, or security advice.
• The AI Tool is not a substitute for qualified professional consultation. Any information provided through the AI Tool should be independently verified before being acted upon.
• You must not enter confidential business information, personal information of third parties, sensitive data, classified material, or information subject to legal privilege into the AI Tool.

Our website provides interactive self-assessment tools covering frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, Essential Eight, and others (Assessment Tools). You acknowledge that:

• Results should not be used as the basis for regulatory submissions, audit assertions, procurement responses, or contractual representations about your compliance posture.
• Accuracy of results depends entirely on the accuracy of the answers you provide. Compliance365 accepts no liability for results generated from incorrect or incomplete inputs.
