The terms governing your use of the Ruleward platform and website.
Last updated: May 1, 2026
By accessing or using ruleward.com or the Ruleward regulatory monitoring platform ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
Ruleward provides a software platform that ingests regulatory publications from US federal and state financial regulators, classifies them by relevance to a financial services firm's configured profile, and presents daily digests, gap-mapping outputs, and examination readiness briefings to compliance teams. The Service is intended for use by compliance professionals at regulated financial services firms and is not a substitute for legal counsel.
Access to the Ruleward platform requires registration and a paid subscription. 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 [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
You agree not to:
The Ruleward platform, including its software, classification models, data structures, and user interface, is proprietary to Ruleward, Inc. and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Regulatory text sourced from government publications is in the public domain. Output generated by the Service based on your firm's data is owned by your organization, subject to Ruleward's right to use aggregated, de-identified data for platform improvement.
The information and outputs provided by Ruleward are for informational purposes only. Nothing in the Service constitutes legal advice, regulatory guidance, or a legal opinion. You should consult qualified legal counsel before making compliance decisions based on Service outputs. Ruleward is not a law firm and does not provide legal services.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ruleward's total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the fees paid by you in the twelve months preceding the claim. In no event shall Ruleward be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits or missed regulatory deadlines resulting from reliance on Service outputs.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind. Ruleward does not warrant that the Service will capture every regulatory publication, that classifications will be error-free, or that the Service will be uninterrupted. Regulatory monitoring is inherently dependent on source availability and classification accuracy; Ruleward does not guarantee completeness.
Either party may terminate a subscription at the end of the current billing period. Ruleward may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. Upon termination, your access to the Service will cease and Ruleward will retain your data as described in the Privacy Policy before deletion.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the District of Columbia, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Washington, DC, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
Ruleward may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify registered users of material changes by email at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of a change constitutes acceptance.
