Terms of Service

Effective Date: April 10, 2026

Karkadi LLC ("Karkadi," "we," "us," "our") provides independent AI testing, monitoring, and reporting services. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website at karkadi.com and all related services. By using our services, you agree to these Terms in full. If you do not agree, do not use our services.

1. Service Description

Karkadi provides independent testing and monitoring of AI systems — including chatbots, copilots, and automation agents — deployed by its customers. Our services include structured test execution, performance scoring, error identification, cost analysis, and periodic reporting.

Karkadi does not build, develop, modify, host, or operate customer AI systems. We observe and report on AI behavior from the outside.

2. No Legal, Regulatory, or Compliance Advice

Karkadi does not provide legal advice. Our services do not constitute legal, regulatory, or compliance counsel of any kind.

Our reports document observed AI performance and behavior. They do not certify compliance with any law, regulation, or standard — including but not limited to the EU AI Act, Colorado AI Act, GDPR, or any other regulatory framework.

You should consult qualified legal counsel for compliance matters. Karkadi reports may support governance efforts, but they are not a substitute for legal review.

3. No Guarantee of Accuracy or Completeness

All services and results are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Karkadi performs sampled, observational testing. Our findings are indicative, not exhaustive.

We do not guarantee:

  • Detection of all errors, hallucinations, or risks in your AI systems
  • Accuracy or completeness of any individual finding
  • Future system performance based on current results
  • That monitoring will prevent any specific outcome or incident

AI systems are inherently dynamic. Results reflect conditions at the time of testing and may not reflect subsequent changes to the AI system, its underlying model, or its configuration.

4. Customer Responsibility

You represent and warrant that:

  • You have the legal right and authorization to submit AI systems for testing
  • You own or have sufficient permissions over the systems being tested
  • You will not submit systems that you do not control or are not authorized to test

You remain fully responsible for:

  • Your AI systems, their outputs, and their impact on end users
  • All decisions made based on Karkadi reports or findings
  • Compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards
  • Any actions taken (or not taken) in response to our monitoring results

5. Acceptable Use

You may not use Karkadi services to:

  • Test systems without proper authorization from the system owner
  • Attempt to exploit, break, or reverse-engineer any AI system through our platform
  • Violate any applicable law or regulation
  • Extract or expose sensitive personal data unlawfully
  • Submit prompts designed to cause harm, generate illegal content, or abuse AI systems
  • Misrepresent Karkadi findings, scores, or certifications

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access for any violation of this section without prior notice. See our Acceptable Use Policy for additional detail.

6. Subscription, Billing, and Cancellation

Billing. Paid services are billed through Stripe on a recurring monthly basis. By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges to your payment method at the applicable rate.

Auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled before the renewal date.

Cancellation. You may cancel at any time through the Stripe customer portal or by emailing billing@karkadi.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No partial refunds are issued for unused time within a billing period.

Refunds. Refunds are not provided unless otherwise stated in a separate written agreement.

Price changes. We may adjust pricing with 30 days' written notice. Continued use after a price change constitutes acceptance.

7. KarkadiSeal™ Certification Disclaimer

The KarkadiSeal™ is a performance-based designation awarded to AI systems that meet defined scoring thresholds during monitored testing periods. It is not a legal certification, regulatory approval, or compliance attestation.

The KarkadiSeal™ does not guarantee:

  • Correctness of the AI system's outputs
  • Compliance with any law, regulation, or standard
  • Future system performance

The KarkadiSeal™ may be revoked at any time if the system no longer meets performance thresholds. See our Certification Terms for full details.

8. Intellectual Property

All testing methodologies, scoring frameworks, report formats, the KarkadiSeal™ mark, and proprietary materials remain the exclusive property of Karkadi LLC.

Reports delivered to you may be used for your internal business purposes. You may not resell, publicly distribute, or modify Karkadi reports without prior written consent.

9. Data Use

We process data solely to deliver our services. We do not use customer data or AI interaction data to train machine learning models. See our Privacy Policy and Data Processing Addendum for full details.

10. No System Access or Control

Karkadi does not:

  • Access customer internal systems, infrastructure, or codebases unless explicitly agreed in a separate written agreement
  • Modify AI models, prompts, configurations, or knowledge bases
  • Operate, host, or control customer AI systems in any capacity

Testing is conducted through publicly accessible interfaces, customer-provided interaction logs, or lightweight observability integrations as agreed in writing.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

  • Karkadi's total aggregate liability for any claims arising from or related to these Terms or our services is limited to the total fees paid by you to Karkadi in the three (3) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
  • Karkadi is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to lost revenue, lost profits, loss of business, reputational damage, or cost of substitute services — regardless of whether Karkadi was advised of the possibility of such damages.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Karkadi LLC, its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

  • Your use of our services
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your AI systems and their outputs
  • Any third-party claims related to AI systems you submitted for testing

13. Termination

You may cancel services at any time by providing written notice to billing@karkadi.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

We may suspend or terminate your access immediately if you violate these Terms, engage in prohibited conduct, or if continued service poses a risk to Karkadi or third parties.

Upon termination, we will deliver any outstanding reports for completed testing periods and cease all monitoring activities within 48 hours.

14. Modifications

We may update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email or a notice on our website at least 14 days before taking effect. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA, without regard to conflict of laws principles.

Any dispute arising from or related to these Terms will be resolved through binding arbitration administered under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, with proceedings conducted in English. The arbitration award will be final and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

17. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Data Processing Addendum, Acceptable Use Policy, Certification Terms, and any signed service agreements, constitute the entire agreement between you and Karkadi regarding the subject matter herein.
