By accessing or using the website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you should discontinue use of the website and associated tools.

We do not provide outsourced compliance operations, act as an appointed compliance officer for clients, assume responsibility for operational sanctions screening, approve or execute client transactions, or take over clients’ regulatory compliance functions.
Clients remain responsible for their own compliance arrangements, regulatory obligations and business decisions.
We do not represent ourselves as a law firm, regulated financial institution or regulatory authority.
2. Permitted Use of the Website

3. Information and Publications
Information published on our website, including articles, regulatory insights, guides, research papers, frameworks and educational resources, is provided for general informational purposes.
Although we seek to provide accurate and useful information, sanctions regulations, regulatory expectations and associated risks may change.
We do not guarantee that published information is complete, current or suitable for every jurisdiction or circumstance.
Website publications do not constitute legal advice, a formal regulatory opinion or advice tailored to a particular client’s circumstances.
Users should undertake appropriate independent verification and obtain specialist professional advice where necessary.
4. Free Sanctions Exposure Scan
The Free Sanctions Exposure Scan is an informational assessment designed to help businesses identify potential areas of sanctions exposure.
The assessment may consider information provided by users concerning their business activities, jurisdictions, counterparties, transaction characteristics or other relevant risk indicators.
Assessment results are preliminary and indicative.
They do not constitute:
A comprehensive sanctions risk assessment.
A formal sanctions screening determination.
Legal or regulatory advice.
Confirmation that a business or transaction is compliant.
Approval or authorisation to undertake a transaction.
A substitute for appropriate due diligence or independent professional assessment.
Results may be affected by incomplete, inaccurate or outdated information.
Users remain responsible for evaluating the results and making their own compliance, commercial and risk management decisions.
Use of the Free Sanctions Exposure Scan does not establish a professional advisory relationship with Comply Sphere.
5. Nexus™ Technology Platform
Nexus™ by Comply Sphere Advisory is a proprietary technology-based risk assessment and decision-support solution.
It may support sanctions exposure analysis, counterparty assessment, jurisdictional risk evaluation, ownership and control analysis, transaction risk assessment and related analytical reporting.
Nexus™ is designed to assist users in evaluating risk information and does not replace their internal compliance controls, independent due diligence or professional judgement.
Nexus™ does not independently approve, reject, authorise or execute client transactions.
Access to paid Nexus™ services, subscription packages, credits or other commercial functionality may be governed by separate product terms, subscription conditions or written agreements.
Where separate Nexus™ terms apply, those terms take precedence in relation to the specific paid product or service.
Nothing in these Website Terms grants an entitlement to paid Nexus™ services without the relevant subscription or agreement.
6. Artificial Intelligence and Automated Analysis
Certain tools and services may use automated processing, analytical methodologies, artificial intelligence or third-party information sources to generate risk-related outputs.
Such outputs may include risk indicators, scores, summaries, analytical narratives and suggested matters for further review.
Automated outputs may contain errors, omissions, outdated information or interpretations that require further verification.
They are intended to support informed decision-making and should not be treated as definitive regulatory conclusions.
Users must independently review material outputs and determine whether additional verification, due diligence or specialist advice is necessary.
Comply Sphere does not assume responsibility for decisions taken solely on the basis of automated outputs.
Any processing of personal information through these technologies is subject to our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection requirements.
7. No Professional or Client Relationship
Accessing our website, downloading publications, completing a free assessment or submitting an enquiry does not establish a consultancy, advisory, fiduciary or other professional client relationship.
A professional engagement will arise only when Comply Sphere accepts an engagement under an appropriate written agreement.
Professional services are subject to the relevant Master Services Agreement, Statement of Work or other executed contractual documentation.
Those agreements govern the applicable scope of services, deliverables, responsibilities, confidentiality obligations, fees, limitations of liability and other engagement-specific matters.
In the event of a conflict concerning contracted professional services, the applicable executed agreement will take precedence over these Website Terms.
