Terms of service

1. The Service

amisanctioned provides a public search interface over a database of entities appearing on government-issued sanctions lists, together with a politically-exposed-person (PEP) search, watchlist monitoring, alerts, and exportable audit records. The platform, its intellectual property, and underlying technology are owned by Prime Calibre Limited (Hong Kong).

2. Accounts

You must provide accurate information when creating an account. You are responsible for all activity under your account. One account per person — do not share login credentials, except where a team plan provides additional seats for named members. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use automated tools, scrapers, or bots to extract data in bulk from the Service
• Resell, redistribute, or sublicense data obtained from the Service
• Circumvent plan limits, rate limits, or access controls
• Use the Service to facilitate sanctions evasion or other illegal activity
• Use the Service to harass, intimidate, or defame any natural person
• Misrepresent Service output as our authoritative compliance determination
• Attempt to access other customers' data or accounts

We may suspend your account immediately if we detect abuse, and will notify you by email.

4. Plans and payment

Accounts are available at no cost with limited usage. Paid plans are billed monthly via Stripe. You may cancel at any time — access continues until the end of the billing period. We do not offer refunds for partial months. We may change pricing with 30 days' notice.

5. Scope of Service and data sources

amisanctioned is an informational search and monitoring tool. It aggregates data from public sanctions lists maintained by OFAC, the EU, the UN, UK OFSI, and other national authorities listed on the sources page, together with public-office PEP data. We do not originate this data. While we take reasonable steps to keep our data current, sanctions designations change frequently and without notice, and third-party sources may contain errors, omissions, or delays between the time a designation is made by an authority and the time it appears in our system. We refresh data daily from publishers' feeds.

5a. No reliance for legal or compliance determinations

Search results are informational only. They do not constitute legal advice, compliance advice, a legal opinion, or a regulatory determination. The Service is not a substitute for qualified legal counsel or your organisation's own compliance program. We are not a regulated financial services provider, a law firm, a legal services provider, or a sanctions authority. We are not authorised by OFAC, OFSI, or any other regulatory body to make compliance determinations on behalf of any person or entity.

5b. No warranty

We make no warranty that results are accurate, complete, current, or sufficient for any particular compliance, regulatory, legal, or commercial purpose. We make no warranty that the Service will detect or correctly classify any particular person, entity, or vessel. A result of "no matches found" means that the query does not currently match the lists screened at the time of search — it does not constitute a guarantee that the person or entity is not sanctioned, related to a sanctioned party, or that new designations will not be made in the future. Common names may match multiple individuals; verify identity (DOB, nationality, place of birth) independently before any decision.

5c. Customer obligations

You are responsible for:

• Maintaining your own compliance program appropriate to your regulatory obligations
• Making independent compliance determinations based on your own assessment of the facts
• Consulting qualified legal counsel for sanctions compliance matters
• Not relying solely on the Service for any regulatory, legal, or material commercial decision
• Verifying critical results against primary sources (e.g. the OFAC SDN list, EU Consolidated List) before material transactions

The Service is not a substitute for professional legal or compliance advice.

6. Intellectual property

The Service, including its design, features, and proprietary technology, is owned by Prime Calibre Limited (Hong Kong). The amisanctioned name, all related trademarks, and the underlying platform IP are the property of Prime Calibre Limited. Prime Calibre Pty Ltd is authorised to use the amisanctioned name, trademarks, and branding solely in connection with the resale and delivery of the Service under these Terms.

The underlying sanctions data is in the public domain or licensed from the issuing authority under open-government terms (e.g. UK Open Government Licence v3.0, OFAC public-domain notices). The selection, normalisation, deduplication, and presentation are our database right and copyright. You may quote individual records for editorial or research purposes with attribution to "amisanctioned".

7. Privacy and data processing

Our collection and processing of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. A Data Processing Agreement is available to business customers on request. By agreeing to these Terms, you also agree to the Privacy Policy.

8. Limitation of liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or accuracy. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to:

• Losses resulting from reliance on search results, including regulatory fines, penalties, or enforcement actions
• Losses arising from a false negative (a sanctioned party not being flagged) or a false positive (a non-sanctioned party being flagged)
• Losses arising from delays between a designation and its appearance in the Service
• Losses arising from errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in third-party data sources
• Lost profits, lost business, or reputational damage

Our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or related to the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) USD 100 or (b) the total amount you paid us in the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. This limitation does not apply to liability arising from our wilful misconduct.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Prime Calibre Pty Ltd, Prime Calibre Limited, and their respective officers, directors, and employees from and against any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your reliance on results for compliance, commercial, or regulatory decisions; (c) any third-party claim arising from your decisions made using information obtained from the Service; or (d) your breach of these Terms.

10. Availability

We aim for high availability of the Service but do not commit to specific uptime percentages at this time. We may perform maintenance with reasonable notice. Sanctions list updates and other third-party data feeds depend on external providers and are outside our control.

11. Termination

You may close your account at any time via the settings page, or by emailing [email protected]. We may terminate your account for violation of these Terms or where we reasonably believe it presents a security or legal risk. Upon termination, your data will be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

12. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email to registered users at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales, Australia, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence.
