Terms of Service

Effective: September 16, 2026. This version replaces the terms dated February 2026.

1. Who we are and what these Terms cover

The website at auditsuisse.com, including the English pages at the site root, the French edition under /fr/, the Spanish edition under /es/, the campaign landing pages under /lp/ and all content, documents, badges, images and code made available through them (together, the "Website"), is owned and operated by Auditsuisse Assurance NA PC ("Auditsuisse," "we," "us" or "our"), a professional corporation licensed as a Certified Public Accounting firm in the United States, with its office at 1001 S Main St, Suite 500, Kalispell, MT 59901-5635, United States.

Auditsuisse Assurance AG, our Swiss affiliate, does not operate the Website, is not a party to these Terms and has no obligations under them. Any engagement it delivers is governed by its own engagement letter under Swiss law.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Auditsuisse about the Website. They are written in English; the French and Spanish editions of the Website link to this English text, which is the version that applies. By accessing or using the Website you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Website.

2. Business use only

The Website is directed at businesses and the people who represent them. By using it you represent that you are at least 18 years old, that you are acting on behalf of a company or other organization in a professional capacity, that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and that the organization is bound by them. We offer no products or services to individuals acting in a personal or household capacity and we do not market to consumers.

3. The Website is informational. Nothing on it is transactional

No advice, no assurance, no reliance

The content of the Website is general information about audit, attestation and compliance topics. It is not accounting, auditing, legal, tax, information-security or compliance advice, and it is not tailored to any organization. Nothing on the Website is an attestation report, an opinion, a certification, a seal of approval or assurance of any kind about any organization, system, product or control. Standards and regulations change and content may be out of date. You must not rely on the Website in making decisions, and you assume all risk of doing so.

No offer

Fee schedules, price ranges, "starting at" figures, timelines, turnaround statements, descriptions of services and methodology, promotional programs described on landing pages, and the terms of any badge or seal program are indicative and informational only. They are not offers capable of acceptance, not quotations and not commitments, and we may change or withdraw them at any time without notice. Fees, scope, timing and all other terms that bind Auditsuisse appear only in an Engagement Letter as defined in Section 4.

No engagement or client relationship

Booking a call, attending a consultation, submitting a form, sending us an email, receiving a proposal, a quotation or a draft engagement letter, or any other communication through or following from the Website does not create an engagement, a client relationship, a fiduciary relationship or a duty of care. Consultations are informational discussions, not professional services, and nothing said in them is a professional opinion. We may decline to engage any prospective client for any lawful reason, including our independence and client-acceptance procedures.

Unsolicited information

Do not send us confidential or sensitive information, system descriptions, control evidence, credentials or personal data through the Website, in booking notes or by email before an Engagement Letter or a written confidentiality agreement is signed. We have no duty of confidentiality for unsolicited material and may treat it as non-confidential, except that personal information is always handled as our Privacy Policy describes.

Badges and seals

Compliance badges and seals shown or described on the Website may be displayed only by current clients, only as their Engagement Letter and the rules on our compliance badges page permit, and only while the report they refer to remains valid. Any other use, and any statement that an organization is audited, attested, certified or approved by Auditsuisse, is prohibited and may be a trademark infringement and a misrepresentation.

4. Services are provided only under an Engagement Letter

An "Engagement Letter" is a written engagement letter, statement of work or services purchase agreement that is signed by an authorized officer of Auditsuisse Assurance NA PC and by the client. Every professional service we offer, including SOC 1, SOC 2 and SOC 3 examinations, HIPAA and GDPR assessments, ISAE 3000 and ISAE 3402 engagements, penetration testing, readiness work, access to any Auditsuisse platform or tool, and every report, letter, badge or other deliverable, is provided exclusively under an Engagement Letter.

The Engagement Letter exclusively governs the scope, fees, timing, deliverables, responsibilities of each party, confidentiality, independence, the permitted use and distribution of reports, limitations of liability, dispute resolution and every remedy available to the client. These Terms do not create any obligation on Auditsuisse to provide services, do not modify any Engagement Letter, and yield to the Engagement Letter on any matter it addresses. These Terms continue to govern the Website itself.

Reports and other deliverables are prepared solely for the client and the intended users identified in them. No one else may rely on them, and nothing on the Website gives any other person any right, benefit or claim.

5. Intellectual property and permitted use

All content on the Website, including text, graphics, logos, badges, images, page designs, methodologies, frameworks, data and software, is owned by Auditsuisse or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws. "Auditsuisse" and the Auditsuisse logo are our trademarks.

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to view the Website and to print or save individual pages for your organization's internal evaluation of our services. You may not reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, license, modify, translate or create derivative works from the Website or any part of it, frame or mirror it, or remove any notice on it, without our prior written consent. Search engines and automated agents may access and index the Website as our robots and llms.txt files permit; bulk extraction, copying or reproduction of content, and any use of it to build or train a competing service, is prohibited.

6. Acceptable use

You agree to use the Website only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You may not:

• Use the Website in any way that violates applicable law or regulation, or that infringes the rights of others
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website, our systems, accounts or networks, or probe, scan or test their security without our prior written authorization
• Transmit malware, viruses or other harmful code, or interfere with the proper functioning of the Website or its providers
• Impersonate any person or entity, misrepresent your affiliation with anyone, or state or imply that Auditsuisse has audited, attested, certified or endorsed you or anyone else without a valid report and Engagement Letter that says so
• Use bots, scrapers or other automated means to access the Website except as Section 5 permits
• Circumvent any technical measure, including the privacy preferences mechanism described in our Privacy Policy

We may investigate any breach, suspend or block access, and pursue any available remedy.

7. Third-party services

The Website uses third-party services, including scheduling (Cal.com), forms (HubSpot), and the analytics and visitor-identification services described in Section 5 of our Privacy Policy, and it links to websites we do not control. Your use of those services and websites is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We do not endorse them, are not responsible for them, and accept no liability for anything arising from them.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

THE WEBSITE AND ALL CONTENT, COMMUNICATIONS, CONSULTATIONS, PROPOSALS AND PROMOTIONAL OFFERS MADE THROUGH OR FOLLOWING FROM IT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AUDITSUISSE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, CURRENCY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY AND FREEDOM FROM ERRORS OR HARMFUL CODE.

Without limiting the foregoing, we make no warranty that the content reflects current professional standards, laws or regulations, that following it will result in compliance with any framework or law, in an unqualified report or in any other outcome, that the Website will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any communication through the Website is accurate or complete. No advice or information obtained from the Website or from us in connection with it creates any warranty or any professional duty not expressly stated in an Engagement Letter.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AUDITSUISSE ASSURANCE NA PC, ITS AFFILIATES (INCLUDING AUDITSUISSE ASSURANCE AG), AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS AND LICENSORS (THE "AUDITSUISSE PARTIES") SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE WEBSITE, ITS CONTENT, OR ANY COMMUNICATION, CONSULTATION, PROPOSAL, QUOTATION OR PROMOTIONAL OFFER MADE THROUGH OR FOLLOWING FROM IT. THIS EXCLUSION COVERS DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY AND PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, CONTRACTS, GOODWILL OR DATA; RELIANCE AND COVER DAMAGES; THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES; REGULATORY FINES AND PENALTIES; AND EVERY OTHER LOSS, UNDER EVERY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND PROFESSIONAL NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, MISREPRESENTATION, STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF AN AUDITSUISSE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

IF, NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, LIABILITY IS IMPOSED ON ANY AUDITSUISSE PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE WEBSITE, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF ALL AUDITSUISSE PARTIES FOR ALL CLAIMS SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (USD 100). YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY DISSATISFACTION WITH THE WEBSITE IS TO STOP USING IT.

These limitations are an essential basis of the bargain between you and Auditsuisse, and the Website would not be made available without them. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law; in jurisdictions that do not allow some of these exclusions, our liability is limited to the smallest amount that law permits.

10. No other remedies. The Engagement Letter is exclusive

No damages, remedies, rights of recovery or theories of liability are available to any person in connection with the Website, or in connection with any service described on it, other than those expressly provided in a fully executed Engagement Letter, and then only to the client that signed it, only for the services it covers and only as it provides. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive every claim against the Auditsuisse Parties that is not so provided. This Section applies regardless of the form of the claim and survives any termination of these Terms.

11. Indemnification

You and the organization you represent will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Auditsuisse Parties from and against all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, fines, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to your use of the Website, your breach of these Terms, your violation of any law or of any right of a third party, any information you submit through the Website, or any misuse of our name, marks, badges, reports or content.

12. Governing law, forum and time limit for claims

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to the Website are governed by the laws of the State of Montana and the federal laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the state courts located in Flathead County, Montana, and the United States District Court for the District of Montana have exclusive jurisdiction over any such dispute, you consent to personal jurisdiction there, and you waive any objection based on venue or inconvenient forum. Disputes about services are resolved as the applicable Engagement Letter provides.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND AUDITSUISSE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, AND ANY CLAIM MAY BE BROUGHT ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Any claim arising out of or relating to the Website must be brought within one year after it accrues or it is permanently barred, to the fullest extent the law allows. Because a breach of Sections 5 or 6 could cause harm that money cannot remedy, Auditsuisse may seek injunctive or other equitable relief for such a breach without posting a bond, in addition to any other remedy.

13. Changes, termination and general terms

We may change these Terms at any time by posting the revised version with a new effective date; changes apply from posting, and your continued use of the Website means you accept them. We may suspend, restrict or terminate access to the Website, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, without notice or liability.

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. We may assign these Terms without restriction; you may not assign them without our written consent. Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, agency, joint venture or employment relationship. Sections 3, 4 and 8 through 13 survive any termination of these Terms or of your access to the Website.

Notices to us must be in writing and delivered to the address below. Questions about these Terms may be sent to [email protected].
