06 / Legal framework

Know which terms apply before you rely on a service.

Website notices, product licences, paid subscription orders, data processing terms and negotiated enterprise agreements govern different relationships. They should be easy to find and distinguish.

Context and scope

What this means
in an enterprise review.

Numerish publishes general public documents and manages them through a governed legal workflow. Software-specific licences and enterprise orders may impose additional rights, conditions or protections.

The descriptions below outline control expectations and evidence to evaluate. They do not claim that a specific Numerish product has completed independent certification.

Control objectives

The six areas
to assess.

Each domain brings a specific objective and a practical review item. Choose the level of assurance needed for the relevant service and regulatory context.

Customer / governed administration

Your organisation remains responsible for

  1. Verify the legal entity that is contracting with you.
  2. Read the version tied to your accepted order or transaction.
  3. Identify country-specific statutory and professional requirements.
  4. Ask for clarification or negotiated provisions before signing.
Scope boundary

Draft documents are not effective agreements. A new licence or revised public policy requires the applicable approvals and publication steps before being treated as operative.

Assurance engagement

Validate the controls
for your environment.

Request product- and version-specific artefacts; identify the relevant jurisdiction, data classes, hosting model and procurement requirements.

Request relevant evidence ↗Documents may be subject to availability, authorisation and confidentiality requirements.
Frequently asked

Important clarifications.

Controls and independently verified outcomes should not be confused.

Which agreement overrides a public product page?

The applicable negotiated and executed contract governs the subjects expressly covered by it, subject to mandatory law. Marketing material is not a substitute for a binding order.

Why is there no new AEC360 licence on the public site yet?

A proposed licence is undergoing governed legal review. It should not be treated as effective until authorised publication and, where required, customer acceptance.
