Terms of Service | Web Dance

1. INTRODUCTION & AGREEMENT TO TERMS

1.1 Master Contract. These Terms of Service ("Terms," "Agreement") establish the legally binding master contract between Web Dance Pty. Ltd (ABN 50 666 082 079) ("Company," "we," "us," "our"), and you, the individual or entity accessing or using our Services ("you," "your," "User").

1.2 Unconditional Acceptance. You accept these Terms unconditionally by: (i) clicking an "I Agree" button; (ii) registering an account ("Account"); (iii) accessing or using any Service, including the free verification lookup tool; or (iv) accessing or using any Paid Service. By accepting, you represent you have the legal authority to bind yourself or the entity you represent. If you do not agree to every provision, you must not access or use the Services.

1.3 Governing Document Hierarchy. These Terms incorporate by reference our Copyright & Intellectual Property Notice, Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, and Payment and Refund Policy (collectively, the "Policies"). The Copyright & Intellectual Property Notice is the paramount and definitive document governing all intellectual property rights and supersedes all other documents on those matters. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a Policy (excluding the Copyright & Intellectual Property Notice on IP matters), these Terms shall prevail. Service level commitments for enterprise or contractor engagements are provided only under a separate written agreement, not as a public website policy. An executed Enterprise Consulting Services Agreement prevails over these Terms only to the extent it explicitly, specifically, and in writing modifies a conflicting term herein.

2. DEFINITIONS

"AISOF Intellectual Property" has the exclusive and exhaustive meaning given in the Company's Copyright & Intellectual Property Notice.
"AI Model Certificate" means the AISOF-7000 AI Model Certificate, the entry-level self-assessed conformance attestation for AI models, systems, SaaS, or related infrastructure issued via the Platform, as described in Section 3. Certificates issued under this programme carry an identifier beginning "AISOF-7000-"; identifiers beginning "WD-AI-" were issued under the same programme before it was renamed and remain valid. It is a distinct product from the Course Completion Certificate.
"Course Completion Certificate" means a record of course completion for Web Dance educational materials, as described in Section 3.
"Content" means data, text, software, scripts, graphics, photos, sounds, music, videos, and interactive features.
"Company Wallet" means the pre-paid AUD balance held by an approved company administrator for team training and policy acknowledgment invitations, as detailed in the Payment and Refund Policy.
"Outputs" means any report (including the confidential Risk Report), risk score, certificate, badge, verification ID, or data set generated by or through the Services based on User Content.
"Paid Services" means Services for which you are required to pay Fees. All references to "Services" include Paid Services unless explicitly stated otherwise.
"Platform" means our proprietary software-as-a-service platform accessible via app.webdance.com.au and its related APIs.
"Services" means, collectively: (a) the Platform; (b) the Websites; (c) access to and use of the AISOF™ standard and related documentation; (d) certification and self-assessment tools (e.g., for the AI Model Certificate); (e) educational courses and materials; (f) support services; (g) the Referral Program; and (h) any other product, service, or feature offered by the Company.
"Service Content" means all Content owned and made available by the Company through the Services, excluding User Content. Outputs are Service Content owned exclusively by the Company.
"User Content" means all Content you submit, upload, post, transmit, or otherwise make available through the Services, including AI model/system data, self-assessment questionnaire inputs, and documentation. For absolute clarity, Outputs generated by the Services from your User Content are not your User Content; they are Service Content owned by the Company.
"Websites" means webdance.com.au, aisof.org, and all associated subdomains.

3. THE SERVICES & ELIGIBILITY

3.1 Description. The Services provide an automated platform for the governance, security, and risk self-assessment of artificial intelligence systems and infrastructure.

3.2 Nature of Service & User Responsibility.

(a) For All Users. The Services are designed for informational, educational, and self-assessment purposes. They are utilised by a wide range of users, including businesses, organisations, professionals, and individuals.

(b) No Professional Advice. The Services, Outputs, and the AISOF™ standard are not a substitute for professional legal, compliance, security, or technical advice.

(c) Consumer Status. Where you use the Services for personal, domestic, or household purposes, you may be entitled to certain non-excludable guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law or similar legislation.

Submit False Data: Intentionally submit inaccurate, false, or misleading information in any certification application (e.g., for the AI Model Certificate).

6. FEES, BILLING, & PAID SERVICES

6.1 Fees. You agree to pay all fees ("Fees") as specified on the pricing page or in an order form. Fees are quoted in Australian Dollars (AUD) and are non-refundable except as expressly stated in our Payment and Refund Policy or required by applicable, non-excludable law.

6.2 Payment. You authorize us to charge your designated payment method for all applicable Fees. You must provide accurate and complete billing information.

6.3 Taxes. Fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties. You are solely responsible for payment of all such charges, except for taxes based solely on our net income. We may collect GST as required by Australian law. For international users, you are responsible for self-assessing and remitting any VAT, sales tax, or equivalent.

6.4 No Employment Relationship. The payment of Fees or participation in the Services (including the Referral Program) does not create an employment, contractor, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between you and the Company. You are solely responsible for all taxes, levies, and statutory contributions (including income tax, GST/VAT, payroll tax, and superannuation) arising from your use of the Services or earnings from the Referral Program in your jurisdiction. The Company has no obligation to withhold, report, or pay any taxes on your behalf unless explicitly required by Australian law for transactions with us.

6.5 Price Changes. We may change our Fees upon 30 days' prior notice. Your continued use of Paid Services after the change constitutes your agreement to pay the new amount.

7. THE WEB DANCE REFERRAL PROGRAM

7.1 Program Overview. The Web Dance Referral Program (the "Program") allows eligible Account holders ("Referrers") to earn commissions by referring new, qualifying customers. The Program is a promotional offer, not a contractual right or entitlement.

7.2 Eligibility & Enrollment. Sharing a referral link and accruing commission requires only an Account in good standing; you do not need a paid plan. Receiving payment additionally requires approval as a Referral Partner: verified identity, a valid tax number, and residence in a country not excluded from the Program. You may apply for partner status only once your cleared commission balance reaches the payout threshold (see the Payment and Refund Policy, clause 6.4) — we will notify you when that happens. We reserve the right to approve or reject any application at our sole discretion.

7.3 Referral Mechanics.

Referral Link. Approved Referrers receive a unique referral link.
Referred User Definition. A "Referred User" is a new, unique individual who: (a) clicks your link; (b) creates a valid Account they did not previously own; (c) is not associated with the Referrer (as determined by our fraud systems); and (d) subscribes to a qualifying Paid Service. Our tracking and determination are final.

7.4 Commissions.

Eligible Plans. Commissions are earned only when a Referred User pays for a qualifying individual subscription plan (currently Starter, Pro, or Power, monthly or annual — six plans in total). One-time certification or course fees, company wallet top-ups, Pay As You Go use, and organisation plans (Team, Workforce, Enterprise, Custom) do not qualify.
Commission Rate. The Referrer earns 10% of the amount paid on each qualifying invoice, recurring for as long as the Referred User remains subscribed to a qualifying plan. A commission arises only from a payment we actually receive: an invoice that fails, is unpaid or is voided earns nothing. Commissions cease for future cycles once the Referred User cancels, downgrades to a non-qualifying plan, or stops paying.
Clearance, Threshold & Reversal. Commissions clear 60 days after the Referred User's payment, or 120 days for an annual invoice. Payouts are made monthly, in arrears, once your cleared balance reaches AUD $100, you are an approved Referral Partner, and valid payout details are on file. A refund or chargeback reverses the commission for that invoice and may create a negative balance that is offset against future commissions. Full detail is in the Payment and Refund Policy, clause 6.
Independent Referrer Status & Tax Liability. Participation in the Program does not constitute employment, consultancy, or a partnership. You participate as an independent referrer. You are solely and fully responsible for determining, reporting, and paying all taxes (including income tax, GST, VAT) on any commissions earned, in accordance with the laws of your jurisdiction. The Company will not withhold taxes or make superannuation contributions on your behalf unless specifically required by Australian law.

7.5 Strict Anti-Abuse Policy & Our Absolute Rights.

Prohibited Actions. Referrers must not: engage in spam, self-referral, use VPNs/proxies to mask identity, or any fraudulent activity. Paying for a Referred User's subscription yourself, or referring accounts you control, is self-referral.
False Application Information. Supplying inaccurate or false information in a Referral Partner application — including identity, address or tax details — voids all commission accrued on that Account and may result in suspension or termination of the Account.
Our Absolute Rights. We reserve the unilateral right to: (i) withhold, void, or reverse any commission; (ii) suspend or revoke partner status; (iii) terminate participation and/or Accounts; (iv) cancel or modify the Program at any time; all at our sole discretion and without notice, explanation, or liability.

8. DISCLAIMER FOR AI SERVICES, AISOF, & CERTIFICATIONS

8.1 Informational Purpose Only. The Services, including the AISOF™ framework, automated assessments, risk reports, and any Outputs, are provided for informational, educational, and self-assessment purposes only.

8.2 Not Professional Advice. The Services and Outputs do not constitute, and shall not be relied upon as, legal, regulatory, compliance, financial, security, or professional advice of any kind. You are solely responsible for independent verification and ensuring compliance with all applicable laws.

8.3 Nature of AISOF. The AISOF™ framework represents the Company's proprietary guidelines. Adherence does not guarantee any specific security, compliance, or regulatory outcome. It is not a substitute for formal audit, legal counsel, or professional security assessment.

8.4 Meaning of Certification.

AISOF-7000 AI Model Certificate: "This AISOF-7000 AI Model Certificate is an attestation of the holder's self-declared conformance to the proprietary AISOF™ criteria at a point in time. It is generated via an automated platform based on user-submitted information. It is not a guarantee of safety, security, fitness for purpose, or regulatory compliance. It is not a professional audit, security assessment, or warranty. Web Dance Pty. Ltd does not guarantee the outcomes of any certified AI system."

Course Completion Certificate: "This Course Completion Certificate certificate is a record of course completion only. Web Dance Pty. Ltd is not a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) or accredited educational institution. This certificate does not represent formal accreditation or a professional qualification."

8.5 No Warranty on Outcomes. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we expressly disclaim all liability for any decisions made or actions taken based on the Services, the AISOF™ framework, or any Outputs.

9. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

9.1 "AS IS" Disclaimer. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES, AISOF™ FRAMEWORK, AND ALL OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. WE EXPLICITLY DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

9.2 Limitation of Liability.

EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL WEB DANCE, ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

CAP ON LIABILITY. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) AUD $100, OR (B) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO US FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE INCIDENT.

EXCLUSIONS. THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS WILL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR: (I) DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT; (II) FRAUD; OR (III) ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW (SUCH AS NON-EXCLUDABLE CONSUMER GUARANTEES UNDER THE AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW).

10. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Web Dance, its affiliates, officers, agents, and employees from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees on an indemnity basis) arising from: (a) your use of the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your User Content; (d) your violation of any third-party right; or (e) your violation of any applicable law. We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you. This indemnification obligation will survive the termination of these Terms and your use of the Services.

11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION & GOVERNING LAW

11.1 Governing Law & Exclusive Venue. These Terms and any dispute shall be governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You irrevocably agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Sydney, New South Wales.

11.2 Informal Resolution. Prior to initiating any formal claim, both parties agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally by contacting the other party via notice.

11.3 No Class Actions. You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action.

12. COMPANY TRAINING & INVITATIONS

12.1 Company Administrator Accounts. Organisations may register company training administrator accounts using a verified work email address on their corporate domain. Registration and the ability to send prepaid training invitations are subject to manual review and approval by Web Dance. We may decline or revoke access to prevent abuse, unsolicited invitations, or misrepresentation.

12.2 Approved Email Domains. Invitations may only be sent to email addresses on domains approved for that company account. Your primary registration domain is approved when your company account is activated. Additional domains (for example regional or subsidiary domains) must be requested through Web Dance support and are added only after manual verification. You may not invite personal email addresses on free providers (such as Gmail or Yahoo) or unrelated third-party domains.

12.3 Employee Invitations. When a company administrator sends you a training invitation, your organisation has prepaid access to the specified course. You must sign in or register with the exact email address that received the invitation. By accepting an invitation, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy, including the employer visibility described in Section 12.4.

12.4 Employer Visibility. If you accept a company-sponsored invitation, you acknowledge and consent that the inviting organisation's designated administrators may view information necessary to administer the programme, including: whether you created an account; whether you accepted the invitation; your course and module progress; exam attempts and results; certification status; and related certificate identifiers. Web Dance provides this visibility through the company dashboard and related notifications. This does not grant your employer access to unrelated personal courses, billing details, or other Service Data outside the invited training.

12.5 Exam Requirements. Company administrators may configure the minimum exam pass percentage for employees they invite (within limits set by the Platform). That setting applies to certification exams for invited employees on prepaid courses.

13. OPTIONAL PUBLIC PROFILES

13.1 Opt-In Feature. The Platform may offer an optional Public profile that lets you share selected professional information with other authenticated Web Dance users. This feature is disabled by default. It does not make your profile available on the open web or to anonymous visitors. "Public" in this context means visible to logged-in Web Dance account holders, not your company teammates specifically, unless they also have Web Dance accounts and open your profile link.

13.2 Logged-In User Visibility. When you enable Public profile, other users who are signed in to the Platform and who access your public profile link (for example, /u/yourname) may view the profile fields you choose to publish, as described in our Privacy Policy (Section 4.5). This is separate from company-sponsored training visibility in Section 12.4. You are responsible for the accuracy and appropriateness of information you place on your profile.

13.3 Your Controls. You may turn Public profile on or off at any time in your Profile settings. Turning it off makes your profile private again and withdraws visibility through your public profile link, subject to reasonable technical caching delays. Removing or editing profile fields updates what other logged-in users may see after your changes are saved.

13.4 Acceptable Use. You must not use public profiles to harass others, impersonate any person or organisation, publish unlawful content, or violate our Acceptable Use Policy. We may suspend sharing or take other action if your profile content breaches these Terms or any Policy.

13.5 No Endorsement. Visibility of another user's public profile through the Platform does not constitute a professional endorsement, employment verification, or certification by Web Dance unless expressly stated elsewhere in the Services.

14. GENERAL PROVISIONS

14.1 Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the referenced Policies, constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between you and the Company concerning the Services.

14.2 Amendments. We may modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of material changes via the Services or email. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes your binding acceptance. If you object, your sole remedy is to stop using the Services.

14.3 Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

14.4 Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations without restriction.

14.5 Waiver. Our failure to enforce a right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision.

14.6 Force Majeure. We are not liable for failure to perform due to causes beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, cyber-attacks on our or our suppliers' infrastructure, emergency maintenance, failures of public infrastructure, or user-caused issues.

14.7 Notices. Notices to you may be sent via email to the address in your Account. Notices to us must be sent via our contact us page.

14.8 Third-Party Beneficiaries. There are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms.

14.9 Contact. For questions regarding these Terms, contact Web Dance Pty. Ltd via our contact us page. Sydney, Australia.

Note: These Terms of Service are incorporated by reference into all related Policies and should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, Payment and Refund Policy, and Copyright & Intellectual Property Notice.
