Terms
of use

The commercial ground rules for using the AEGIS Nexus Platform. This is a starting template for your counsel to review, not a substitute for a negotiated agreement.

Template for counsel reviewClear acceptable-use boundariesYou keep your data and IPEnterprise warranty and liability posture

These terms govern access to and use of the AEGIS Nexus Platform, the vendor-neutral security-operations layer that unifies the signals from the tools your organization already runs into one ranked, explainable picture. They set out what each party can expect: how the service is provided, how it may be used, who owns what, and where responsibility begins and ends.

AEGIS Nexus is sold to enterprises through a master agreement or order form. The language below is a plain-English template intended to frame those negotiations and to make our commercial posture legible to security, procurement, and legal teams. It is deliberately conservative and should be adapted by qualified counsel before it binds either party. Where this template and a signed agreement conflict, the signed agreement controls.

What it delivers

Defined acceptable use

A precise boundary on how the platform may be used, so security teams can operate with confidence and without ambiguity.

Clear IP ownership

You own your data and outputs derived from it. We own the platform. Neither party quietly acquires the other's crown jewels.

Honest warranty stance

We state what the service does and stand behind our commitments, without overpromising outcomes we cannot guarantee.

Bounded liability

A liability framework proportionate to an enterprise subscription, negotiated in the order form rather than hidden in fine print.

Account accountability

Straightforward responsibilities for credential hygiene, authorized users, and how access is granted and revoked.

Orderly change and exit

Predictable rules for updates, suspension, termination, and the return or deletion of your data when the relationship ends.

Acceptable use

The AEGIS Nexus Platform is provided for your organization's lawful, internal security operations: predicting exposure, preventing incidents, and proving the effectiveness of the controls you already own. You may use it to unify signals from your existing tools, prioritize what matters, and act on the results across your own environment and the assets you are authorized to protect.

Certain uses are out of bounds. The platform is a defensive capability layer, and using it against systems you do not own or lack written authorization to test is prohibited. The list below is illustrative, not exhaustive; your counsel should tailor it to your risk appetite and regulatory obligations.

Intellectual property and your data

Ownership stays where it belongs. Your organization retains all rights to the data you connect, the configurations you build, and the security decisions you make. We retain all rights to the AEGIS Nexus Platform, including its interfaces, methods, and underlying capabilities. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of one party's intellectual property to the other.

You grant us a limited right to process your connected data solely to operate and improve the service you have subscribed to, in line with the order form and our data-protection commitments. Insights and reports the platform generates from your data are yours to use, retain, and share within your governance obligations.

Illustrative flow of the Terms of Use: each party's obligations route through clause domains (acceptable use, IP, warranty/liability, data) to enforcement outcomes. Weights are illustrative, not contractual.
How acceptable-use principles map to user responsibilities and platform enforcement. Flows are illustrative and categorical only; widths do not represent real usage, incidents, or contractual weightings.

Warranty, liability, and service commitments

We commit that the platform will perform materially as described in the documentation and order form, and that we will operate it with the care expected of an enterprise security vendor. Consistent with our principle of validation, not assurance, we describe what the service demonstrably does rather than guarantee outcomes that depend on your environment, your other tools, and threats outside anyone's control.

Liability is bounded and negotiated. The template positions warranties, disclaimers, indemnities, and liability caps at levels appropriate to an enterprise subscription, with the specific figures and carve-outs set in the signed agreement. This is precisely the kind of clause your counsel should review and adjust; we expect and welcome that scrutiny.

Account responsibilities and term

Your organization is responsible for the security of its accounts: keeping credentials confidential, provisioning and de-provisioning users promptly, and ensuring that everyone you authorize uses the platform within these terms. We support you with enterprise-grade access controls, but the human side of account hygiene rests with you.

Access continues for the subscription term set in your order form. We may update the platform to keep it current and secure, and we will handle suspension or termination in an orderly way. On exit, we return or delete your data according to the agreed schedule, so the relationship ends as cleanly as it began.

Illustrative responsibility model for the Terms of Use: a radar contrasting where obligation concentrates between the Customer and iQs AEGIS Nexus across the core clause domains (acceptable use, account security, data handling, lawful operation, service availability, IP & confidentiality, incident cooperation). Values are categorical 0–100 weightings, not contractual metrics — no proprietary internals or real statistics.

Frequently asked

No. This is a template written to frame discussion and make our commercial posture clear. The binding terms live in a master agreement or order form that your counsel negotiates and signs.

No. Your data, configurations, and the outputs derived from them remain yours. We process connected data only to operate the service you subscribed to, and we return or delete it when the relationship ends.

Because honest vendors can't. Outcomes depend on your environment, your other tools, and adversaries outside anyone's control. We stand behind what the platform demonstrably does and describe it as validation, not assurance.

Warranties, indemnities, and liability caps are set in the signed agreement at levels appropriate to an enterprise subscription. This template flags those clauses precisely so your legal team can review and adjust them.
