1. About Controva AI
Controva AI (“Controva”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is an AI-powered contract monitoring platform operated by Controva AI (ABN pending), based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Our Service provides automated contract analysis, deadline tracking, and alert notifications for small businesses.
2. Important Disclaimer — Not Legal Advice
Please read this section carefully.
The Controva platform provides AI-generated analysis and summaries for informational and monitoring purposes only. Nothing on this platform, in any analysis, summary, alert, flag, or communication from Controva constitutes legal advice.
Controva is not a law firm. We do not provide legal services. Our AI analysis is not a substitute for qualified legal advice from a licensed Australian solicitor.
You should always seek independent legal advice before making any decision based on a contract or on any analysis provided by Controva. You are solely responsible for verifying all contract dates, terms, obligations, and risk assessments independently.

AI technology has inherent limitations and may produce incorrect, incomplete, or misleading results. You acknowledge this and accept full responsibility for any decisions made based on Controva analysis.

- Controva is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or economic loss including but not limited to: loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of business, loss of data, missed contract deadlines, automatic renewals, financial penalties, or legal costs arising from your use of or reliance on the Service.
