Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Gideon Dynamics (“ITAR Screen,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of the ITAR Screen platform, including the website at itarscreen.com, the application at app.itarscreen.com, and all associated APIs and services (collectively, the “Service”).

By creating an account, accessing the Service, or clicking “Create account,” you represent that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” refers to that organization.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

ITAR Screen provides AI-assisted tools for:

• Product classification against the U.S. Munitions List (USML) and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) Commerce Control List (CCL);
• Denied-party screening against government-published watchlists including the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list, the BIS Denied Persons List (DPL), and the Trade.gov Consolidated Screening List (CSL);
• Screening record generation and export of classification and screening records.

3. Not Legal Advice — Critical Limitation

THE SERVICE DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE, LEGAL DETERMINATIONS, OR OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT RULINGS.

Classification results and screening outcomes produced by the Service are AI-generated preliminary assessments for informational purposes only. They do not constitute:

• A formal commodity jurisdiction determination (CJD) under 22 C.F.R. Part 120;
• A classification ruling under 15 C.F.R. Part 748;
• Legal advice from a licensed export control attorney;
• A guarantee of compliance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), OFAC sanctions programs, or any other applicable law.

You must not rely solely on the Service when making export control decisions. You are solely responsible for your organization’s compliance with all applicable export control, sanctions, and trade laws. We strongly recommend consulting qualified export control counsel for any export compliance determination.

4. Account Registration and Security

To use the Service, you must register an account and provide accurate, complete, and current information about yourself and your organization. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You must notify us immediately at support@itarscreen.com of any unauthorized use of your account or any other security breach.

You may not share your account credentials with third parties or allow multiple organizations to use the same account. Each organization must maintain its own account.

5. Permitted and Prohibited Use

You may use the Service only for lawful business purposes. You agree not to:

• Use the Service to facilitate any actual export transaction without independent legal review;
• Submit product descriptions containing classified national security information, Special Access Program (SAP) information, or Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) to the Service;
• Use the Service if your organization or any of its principals appears on any U.S. Government denied, debarred, or restricted party list;
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the underlying AI models, prompts, or watchlist matching algorithms;
• Resell, sublicense, or make the Service available to third parties without our written consent;
• Use the Service in any manner that could disable, overburden, or impair the Service or interfere with other users;
• Attempt to circumvent rate limits, usage caps, or access controls;
• Use the Service to screen parties for purposes other than legitimate export compliance due diligence;
• Use automated tools, bots, or scripts to access the Service except through our published API under your applicable plan.

6. User Responsibilities Regarding Export Control

You acknowledge that the products you describe and the counterparties you screen may be subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that:

• You have the authority to submit the product descriptions and party information you provide;
• Your use of the Service is for legitimate export compliance purposes;
• You understand that AI-generated classifications are preliminary starting points requiring human expert review before reliance;
• You maintain and implement an effective export compliance program independent of this Service.

7. Subscription Plans and Billing

Access to the Service is provided through paid subscription plans as described at itarscreen.com/pricing (“Plans”). By subscribing to a Plan, you authorize us to charge the applicable fees to your payment method.

Billing and Renewal

Monthly Plans are billed on a recurring monthly basis. Annual Plans are billed upfront for the full year. Subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel before the renewal date.

Usage Limits

Each Plan includes a monthly allocation of classifications and screenings as displayed at account sign-up and on your account page. You will receive an error response when your allocation is exhausted. Unused allocations do not roll over to the following month.

Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through the billing portal accessible from your account page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. We do not provide refunds for partial billing periods except as required by applicable law.

Price Changes

We will provide at least 30 days’ notice via email before changing subscription prices. Continued use of the Service after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

8. Intellectual Property

The Service, including all software, AI models, algorithms, watchlist matching logic, user interfaces, and documentation, is owned by Gideon Dynamics and protected by copyright, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any right, title, or interest in the Service except for the limited right to use it under your Plan.

You retain ownership of the product descriptions, party names, and other content you submit (“User Content”). By submitting User Content, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process that content solely to provide the Service to you. We do not use your specific User Content to train AI models without your explicit consent. We may use aggregated, anonymized data about Service usage to improve our products.

9. Data Retention and Audit Records

The Service retains your classification and screening records for a minimum of ten (10) years from the date of each determination. This retention period is designed to support ITAR recordkeeping obligations under 22 C.F.R. § 122.5, which requires defense exporters to maintain records for a period of five years, and broader best-practice guidance recommending longer retention for audit defense purposes.

You may export your full screening record at any time from the dashboard. Upon account termination, your records remain available for 30 days for export before being archived. Archived records are retained for the remainder of the 10-year window and are available upon request for legitimate legal or regulatory purposes.

10. Confidentiality

We treat your User Content, classification results, and screening records as confidential business information. We will not disclose your specific User Content to third parties except as required to provide the Service (e.g., processing through our AI provider), as required by law or legal process, or as described in our Privacy Policy.

11. Disclaimers of Warranty

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ITAR SCREEN DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT: (A) THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE; (B) CLASSIFICATION RESULTS WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT; (C) WATCHLIST DATA WILL BE FREE FROM ERRORS OR OMISSIONS; OR (D) THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR SPECIFIC COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS.

Government watchlists (OFAC SDN, BIS DPL, Trade.gov CSL) are published by third parties. We make reasonable efforts to update our data daily but do not guarantee real-time accuracy. You should verify critical screening results against official government sources.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ITAR SCREEN SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, REPUTATIONAL HARM, REGULATORY FINES, EXPORT LICENSE VIOLATIONS, OR COSTS OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ITAR SCREEN HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT SHALL ITAR SCREEN’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not fully apply to you.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Gideon Dynamics, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your violation of these Terms; (b) your violation of any applicable law, including export control laws, sanctions regulations, or trade laws; (c) your User Content; or (d) your use of the Service in a manner not authorized by these Terms.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, if you breach these Terms, fail to pay applicable fees, or if we reasonably believe your use poses a legal, security, or reputational risk to us or other users.

You may terminate your account at any time by cancelling your subscription and contacting us at support@itarscreen.com. Upon termination, your right to access the Service ceases immediately, subject to the data retention provisions in Section 9.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, in Florida, unless the claim qualifies for small claims court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm.

You agree that any dispute resolution proceeding will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will notify you by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service and cancel your subscription.

17. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and ITAR Screen with respect to the Service. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so in the future. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all our assets.
