Terms of Use

These Terms of Use apply to your use of fountium.com (the “website”), operated by Fountium Inc. (“Fountium”, “we”, “us”). By using the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

Information, not advice

The articles, videos, frameworks and other materials on this website are general information about responsible AI, AI governance and security. They are not legal, regulatory, compliance or professional advice, and they do not create a client relationship. Decisions about your organization’s AI use should be made with advice that takes your specific circumstances into account.

References to standards and frameworks such as the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, ISO/IEC 42001 and the EU AI Act describe how our work aligns with them. They are not a statement that Fountium, or any client, is certified against or compliant with them.

Our services

Descriptions of our advisory engagements and of the Fountium Passport platform are summaries. Any services we provide are governed by a separate written agreement, which takes precedence over anything on this website. The Fountium Passport platform is not yet generally available, and its features may change.

Intellectual property

The website and its content, including text, graphics, logos, videos and the Fountium name, belong to Fountium or its licensors and are protected by copyright and trademark laws. You may view, download and print content for your own internal, non-commercial use, and share links to it. You may not otherwise copy, republish, sell or create derivative works from it without our written permission.

Links to other websites

The website links to and embeds content from other services, such as YouTube and LinkedIn. We are not responsible for their content or practices, and their own terms and privacy policies apply when you use them.

Disclaimer and limitation of liability

The website is provided “as is” and “as available”. We work to keep it accurate and secure, but we do not guarantee that it will be error-free, uninterrupted or free of harmful components, or that its content is complete or current.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Fountium is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for any loss of data, profit or business, arising from your use of, or reliance on, the website or its content. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. The courts of Ontario have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.

We may update these terms from time to time. The effective date above shows when they were last changed. Continuing to use the website after a change means you accept the updated terms.
