The terms for using Vantage.

By creating an account, signing in, or otherwise using Vantage, you agree to these Terms of Use and the policies they incorporate, including the Privacy Notice and Legal & Disclaimers page. If you do not agree, do not use Vantage.

Vantage currently has no separate checkout or purchase flow — access is invite-only and granted directly. If a paid signup or checkout flow is introduced later, acceptance of these Terms will be built into that flow at the point of registration or purchase.

You must have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement in your jurisdiction. Vantage is built for adults preparing for a professional certification and is not designed or marketed for children. We do not knowingly collect information from children, and account creation is currently invite-only and administered manually, which limits this risk in practice.

Vantage accounts are personal to you. In using an account, you agree to:

• provide a reasonably accurate email address for sign-in and communication;
• keep your sign-in access secure and not share it with anyone else;
• report any suspected unauthorized access to your account promptly so it can be investigated.

Vantage uses passwordless, email-based sign-in (a one-time link sent to your address) — there is no password to protect, but the security of your email inbox is still yours to maintain.

Access windows. Where access to Vantage is granted for a limited period (for example, a 90-day beta or paid access window), that period begins running from the date access is granted or communicated to you, whether or not you sign in, and continues running regardless of how much — or how little — you actually use Vantage during it. IAAA is not responsible for, and will not extend, refund, or otherwise compensate for, an access window that lapses because you did not sign in during the period, signed in only near the end of it, or otherwise did not make use of the access you were given. If you are unsure when your access expires, check the "Access until" indicator shown in the app while signed in.

Subject to these Terms, IAAA grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and use Vantage for your own legitimate learning and AIGP exam preparation. No ownership in Vantage or its content transfers to you under this licence.

Ordinary studying — reading, practicing, retaking questions, reviewing your own progress — is always fine. Except where applicable law says otherwise, you agree not to:

• scrape, systematically extract, or bulk-download Vantage's content or question bank;
• copy, resell, or redistribute Vantage's materials to others;
• share a single paid or invited account across multiple people;
• circumvent or attempt to circumvent access controls or authentication;
• interfere with the security, integrity, or normal operation of the service;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, system, or data;
• use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to harvest content from Vantage;
• reproduce a substantial portion of Vantage's content, or systematically extract Vantage's questions to build a competing question bank;
• use Vantage's proprietary content to train, fine-tune, or build another commercial AI/ML product without IAAA's written permission;
• remove or obscure copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices; or
• use Vantage for any unlawful purpose.

IAAA/Vantage IP. Subject to third-party rights described below, Vantage's original explanations, educational structure, independently created practice questions, learning pathways, mastery/scoring mechanisms, original mappings and organization of reference material, interface, software, branding, and other original written materials are owned by or licensed to IAAA.

Third-party IP. Trademarks, standards, laws, regulatory frameworks, source documents, and certification materials referenced within Vantage remain the property of their respective owners. IAAA claims no ownership over IAPP's intellectual property, including the AIGP Body of Knowledge, exam blueprint, or the "IAPP" and "AIGP" names themselves. See Legal & Disclaimers for the full independence statement.

Vantage provides educational information about AI governance concepts. It does not provide legal advice, regulatory advice, compliance certification, or professional advice of any kind. Where a decision genuinely matters — a real compliance question, a regulatory filing, a legal risk assessment — obtain qualified professional advice instead of relying on Vantage.

Using Vantage does not:

• register you for an IAPP examination;
• confer AIGP certification;
• guarantee your eligibility to sit the exam;
• guarantee that you will pass the exam; or
• predict the actual questions you will see on the real examination.

Full detail on what Vantage is and isn't, including the practice-question and mock-exam disclaimers, is on the Legal & Disclaimers page.

Parts of Vantage — including explanations, practice content, and feedback on free-text answers — are created or assisted by AI. AI-generated output can be incomplete, outdated, incorrect, or misleading. Independently verify anything where accuracy genuinely matters to you, especially anything exam-critical or professionally consequential.

Vantage is provided on a best-effort basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability. Maintenance, upgrades, technical problems, and changes to the service may occur at any time.

Vantage relies on the following third-party infrastructure to operate:

• Supabase — authentication (sign-in) and the database that stores your account and learning progress;
• Resend — delivery of sign-in emails;
• Anthropic — AI-assisted feedback and content generation;
• Vercel — hosting the application itself.

Your use of Vantage is also subject to the availability and terms of these providers. See the Privacy Notice for what information each one processes.

Vantage does not currently process any payments — access is invite-only and free. This section is a placeholder for when a paid tier is introduced: at that point, IAAA will document charges, renewal, cancellation, applicable taxes, and refund terms here before any payment is collected. No commercial terms exist today, and none should be assumed.

IAAA may suspend or terminate your access for serious abuse, security threats, unlawful activity, infringement of intellectual property rights, misuse of your account, or a material violation of these Terms. Action taken will be proportionate to the issue at hand.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Vantage is provided on an "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including as to accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. Nothing in this section is intended to exclude or limit any statutory consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, IAAA's liability arising from your use of Vantage is limited to what is commercially reasonable given that Vantage is currently provided free of charge. Nothing here excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, such as liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence, where applicable in your jurisdiction.

As set out in Your account above, IAAA is specifically not liable for an access window that lapses unused — this is not an oversight but a deliberate term, since the length of an access window is fixed and disclosed at the time it is granted.

Flagged for formal legal review before paid launch — a specific monetary liability cap is not set here because no commercial/payment model exists yet to calibrate it against.

IAAA may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date on this page, and — where the change is significant — communicated through the app or by email. Continuing to use Vantage after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts at Bengaluru, Karnataka have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them. Confirm with counsel before commercial launch — this follows directly from the operator's GST-registered place of business (below) and is a reasonable default, but hasn't had a formal legal review.

Questions about these Terms can be sent to support@iaaa.academy.

Vantage is a product of IAAA — the Institute of Applied AI and Analytics — operated by Rahul Ghai, trading as Institute of Applied AI and Analytics (GST registration 29AHOPG8778Q2ZY), a proprietorship registered in Karnataka, India. "IAAA" is a trading name of this proprietorship, not a separately incorporated entity.
