Engagement terms

AetherOSINT Entity Brief: engagement terms

Last updated 2026-11-02. These terms apply to every order and are accepted before payment.

1. Parties

Confidential Risk Consulting (New Zealand), NZBN 9429049843019, of Auckland, New Zealand ("we"), and the organisation named in the request ("you").

2. Scope

One Entity Brief per subject business, drawn from public registers and public sources: legal identity, ownership and control as publicly recorded, sanctions-list screening, web and domain footprint, public media reports, and discrepancies between the business's claims and the records. No research on any individual. No non-public sources.

3. Fee and delivery

The fee for the option you choose, in US dollars, payable before work begins. The brief is delivered as a PDF to the named recipients within the stated time from receipt of payment. If we decline a request after payment, the fee is refunded in full.

4. Use

For the purpose stated in the request, by the named recipients only. The brief is not a consumer report, credit report, background check or legal opinion, and must not be used for decisions about any individual's employment, tenancy, credit or insurance.

5. Limits

The brief speaks as at its search cut-off. A no-match result is a statement about the sources searched, not a clearance. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from an engagement is limited to the fee paid for it.

6. Confidentiality

We treat your request and your brief as confidential, and do not reuse your brief or show it to anyone else.

7. Law

New Zealand law governs these terms. Nothing in them limits rights you have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or the Fair Trading Act 1986 where those Acts apply and cannot be excluded.
