Terms of Service

Dr. Nolyn Johnson LLC  ·  Effective Date: July 5, 2026  ·  Last Updated: July 5, 2026

Plain-language summary: By using Diliventa, you agree to use it lawfully and for its intended purpose (vendor security due diligence). We own the platform; you own your data. We offer a 7-day free trial. Subscriptions renew monthly unless cancelled. We are not liable for decisions made based on platform outputs — your qualified reviewers make final calls.

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Dr. Nolyn Johnson LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the Diliventa™ platform, including the website at diliventa.io, the application at app.diliventa.io, and any related services (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account or accessing the Service, you confirm that you are authorized to bind your organization to these Terms and that your organization agrees to comply with them. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. The Service

Diliventa™ is a vendor security assurance and GRC SaaS platform that provides:

Important — No Legal or Professional Advice: Diliventa is a decision-support tool. Platform outputs (scores, verdicts, AI analysis, risk ratings) are informational aids for qualified security professionals. They do not constitute legal advice, regulatory compliance certification, or a guarantee of a vendor's security posture. Your organization's qualified reviewers retain sole responsibility for all vendor decisions.

3. Accounts & Access

3.1 Account Registration

You must create an account through our secure authentication portal using a valid organizational identity. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

3.2 Authorized Users

Each subscription plan includes a fixed number of user seats (2 for Starter, 5 for Professional, 15 for Enterprise). You may not exceed the seat count for your plan. You are responsible for ensuring that all users in your organization comply with these Terms.

3.3 Account Security

You must notify us immediately at security@diliventa.io if you suspect unauthorized access to your account. We are not liable for losses resulting from unauthorized account use where you failed to notify us promptly.

4. Subscriptions & Billing

Annual billing with a 20% discount is also available. vCISO retainer packages are governed by a separate Master Service Agreement (MSA) and Statement of Work (SOW).

4.2 Free Trial

New organizations may access a 7-day free trial with no credit card required. At the end of the trial period, access is suspended until a paid subscription is activated. Trial data is retained for 30 days after trial expiration, then deleted.

4.3 Payment & Renewal

Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance via Stripe. Subscriptions automatically renew each month unless cancelled before the renewal date. Prices are displayed in USD. We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days' written notice to existing subscribers.

4.4 Cancellation & Refunds

You may cancel your subscription at any time through the Stripe Customer Portal (accessible from the Billing page in the app). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you retain access through the period you paid for. We do not provide prorated refunds for partial billing periods except where required by applicable law.

4.5 Failed Payments

If a payment fails, we will attempt to charge the payment method on file up to three times over seven days. If payment cannot be collected, your account will be suspended. Data is retained for 30 days after suspension before deletion.

The AI analysis feature sends documents you upload to Anthropic's API for processing. By using this feature:

We are not liable for errors in AI-generated analysis outputs or for vendor decisions made in reliance on those outputs without human review.

8. Data & Privacy
