Section i

Who operates this site.

This site is operated by Admodum Compliance Ltd (the firm), an independent software licensing advisory firm with offices in London, New York, Singapore and Stockholm. The firm publishes research, case studies and methodology content for the benefit of buyer-side procurement, finance, legal and technology leaders.

The firm is not a publisher of software, not a reseller and not an affiliate of any software vendor. The firm’s engagement work is performed under separate written agreements; nothing on this site constitutes an offer to perform engagement work or an acceptance of any contract.

Section ii

Acceptance of these terms.

By accessing this site, requesting a white paper, subscribing to the newsletter or otherwise using the firm’s online content, you accept these terms. If you do not accept these terms, please do not use the site. The firm may amend these terms from time to time; the effective date at the top of this page records when the current version came into force.

Section iii

Content and copyright.

All content on this site, including the white papers, case studies, blog analysis, knowledge hub pages, vendor practice pages and accompanying photography, is the copyright of Admodum Compliance Ltd unless otherwise marked. The methodology described in the white papers and the case studies is the firm’s intellectual property and is the product of the firm’s engagement history.

Content is provided for the personal, internal and editorial use of the people who access this site. Content is not provided for systematic harvesting, redistribution as the recipient’s own material, integration into a competing advisory product, or training of any machine-learning model.

Section iv

Permitted use.

You may read, print, save and share excerpts of the site’s content with colleagues inside your organisation, with attribution to Admodum Compliance and a link back to the source page. Quotations of up to fifty words in a research note, news article or scholarly publication are permitted, with attribution and a citation.

Requests for redistribution licences, classroom use, conference reuse and similar permissions should be sent to research@admodumcompliance.com. The firm responds to good-faith requests inside ten business days.

Section v

Not advice.

The content on this site is published research, not commercial advice. The methodology described in the white papers and the case studies is the methodology the firm applies inside an engagement, where the firm sees the buyer’s contracts, the buyer’s deployment, the buyer’s commercial cycle and the publisher’s named account team. Outside an engagement, the firm cannot give specific procurement, contractual or audit advice to the reader.

If you are facing a specific licensing question, an active audit, an open renewal or a contractual decision, please engage the firm through /contact. A senior Admodum advisor will respond to confirm scope and the appropriate engagement model.

Section vi

Independence assertion.

The firm is independent. Admodum is not a partner, reseller, or affiliate of Oracle, Microsoft, SAP, Salesforce, IBM, Broadcom, ServiceNow, Workday, AWS, Google, Cisco, Adobe, Autodesk or any other software vendor. The firm carries no reseller margin, no referral commission, no implementation subcontract, no audit subcontract and no deployment-partner relationship with any publisher.

The independence position is the load-bearing commercial position of the firm and is the position from which every recommendation in the site’s content is written.

Section vii

Third-party trademarks.

Publisher names appearing on this site (Oracle, Microsoft, SAP, Salesforce, IBM, Broadcom, VMware, ServiceNow, Workday, Amazon Web Services, Google, Cisco, Adobe, Autodesk, OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Cohere, Meta and others) are the trademarks of their respective owners. The names are used in good faith for the purpose of describing the firm’s independent commentary on those publishers’ commercial terms. The use does not imply any endorsement, sponsorship, partnership or affiliation, and the firm asserts none.

Section viii

Site availability and liability.

The firm makes reasonable efforts to keep this site available, accurate and current, but does not warrant that the site will be available continuously, that the content will be free from typographical or other errors, or that any specific information will remain on the site indefinitely. The firm may amend, withdraw, archive or move content without notice.

To the extent permitted by law, the firm does not accept liability for any loss arising from the use of this site or reliance on the content. Where liability cannot be excluded by law, it is limited to the minimum permitted under the applicable jurisdiction.

Section ix

Engagement terms.

Engagement work is performed under separate written agreements between the firm and the engaging organisation. Engagement work is sized under one of three commercial frameworks (fixed fee, contingency / gainshare or annual retainer) and the specific terms (scope, deliverables, pricing, schedule, confidentiality, data handling, professional indemnity, termination) are documented in the engagement letter or master services agreement.

The site’s content does not constitute the engagement terms. Where there is conflict between the site and a signed engagement agreement, the engagement agreement governs.

Section x

Governing law and jurisdiction.

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute concerning these terms is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, except where applicable consumer-protection or data-protection law in your jurisdiction requires otherwise. Where you access this site from outside England and Wales, you accept that local law may also apply and you remain responsible for your compliance with the local law of the jurisdiction from which you access the site.

The companion privacy notice sets out how the firm handles personal information. The site sitemap lists every page on admodumcompliance.com.
