Terms of Use

1. About These Terms

This website is published by Ginga Ninja Holdings Ltd, trading as ComplianceGenie.io ("we", "us", "our") to explain the open-source SCF Controls Platform and point people to its source code. By using this website you agree to these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

This is an informational website only. It does not offer accounts, sign-ups, subscriptions, or any hosted service, and no payment is taken through it.

2. The SCF Controls Platform Software

The SCF Controls Platform is open-source software for managing cybersecurity and compliance programmes built around the Secure Controls Framework (SCF). The platform software is released under the AGPL-3.0 licence.

Your use of the software itself is governed by the licence distributed with the source code, not by these Terms. These Terms cover only your use of this marketing website. The software is provided by its authors and contributors, and you are responsible for how you deploy, host, and operate it.

3. Secure Controls Framework (SCF) Content and Licensing

The platform is designed to work with the Secure Controls Framework (SCF). The SCF is the intellectual property of ComplianceForge and is made available under ComplianceForge's own licensing model. The open-source licence covering the platform software does not grant you any rights in the SCF control content itself.

If you intend to use, reproduce, redistribute, or adapt the SCF controls — or any other SCF or ComplianceForge material — whether through this platform or otherwise, you are responsible for reviewing the applicable licensing and obtaining any licence you need for your intended use.

Before adapting the SCF controls, review the SCF / ComplianceForge licensing model and obtain the relevant licence: SCF licensing terms and securecontrolsframework.com. We point you to the source rather than restate its terms here; the SCF licensing published by ComplianceForge governs in all cases.

5. No Professional Advice

The platform and this website provide tooling and information to support compliance management. They do not constitute legal, regulatory, or professional compliance advice. You should consult suitably qualified professionals for your specific compliance requirements.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, this website and the open-source software are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to:

• Warranties of merchantability

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or business, arising from your use of this website or the open-source software. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

8. Third-Party Links and Trademarks

This website contains links to external websites, including ComplianceForge and the Secure Controls Framework. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, websites, or practices.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
