These terms govern your use of the products and services offered by Nord Paradigm Inc. (“Nord Paradigm,” “we,” “us”) through nordparadigm.com, breach.nordparadigm.com, breche.nordparadigm.com, pro.nordparadigm.com, and any related domains. By using our products, you agree to these terms.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements to use our products. By using our products, you represent that you meet these requirements. If you use our products on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these terms.

Our Products

Breach (Free): An automated AI transformation analysis tool that generates a report based on publicly available information about a business you identify by URL.

Breach Pro (Agency private beta): A deeper AI visibility analysis delivered as a co-branded report to agency partners, covering comparative AI visibility, competitor pressure, cited sources, proof gaps, and a 90-day action plan. Currently offered as a private beta; access runs through Nord Paradigm rather than self-serve purchase.

Nature of Our Reports

Our reports are informational tools, not professional advice. Specifically:

  • Breach and Breach Pro reports are generated using artificial intelligence and publicly available data. They are not audits, certifications, or compliance assessments.
  • Reports do not constitute legal, financial, accounting, tax, or professional advice. Consult qualified professionals before making business decisions based on our reports.
  • AI tool recommendations are informational. We are not affiliated with and do not endorse any third-party tools mentioned in our reports. Verify suitability for your needs before purchasing any recommended tool.
  • Regulatory references (including references to Loi 25, PIPEDA, and evolving federal AI regulation) are provided for awareness only and do not constitute legal interpretation or compliance guidance.
  • Funding paths are presented as options to verify, not as a promise of subsidy. Eligibility must be confirmed directly with the relevant program administrator.

Accuracy and Limitations

  • Our reports rely on publicly available information, web scraping, and AI analysis. We make reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy but cannot guarantee that all information is complete, current, or error-free.
  • Competitor analysis is based on what is publicly observable on competitor websites at the time of generation. It may not reflect the full scope of a competitor’s capabilities or plans.
  • GEO scores and readiness assessments are diagnostic indicators, not definitive measurements.
  • We do not guarantee specific business outcomes from following any recommendations in our reports.

Payment and Delivery

  • Breach Pro is currently offered as a private beta for agency partners; scope, fees, and the deliverable are agreed in writing before any work begins.
  • Where payment applies, it is processed securely through Stripe. We do not store your payment card information.
  • Reports are delivered electronically.
  • All prices are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated and are subject to applicable taxes (GST/QST).

Refund Policy

All sales are final after report delivery.

If a report fails to deliver due to a technical error attributable to us, we will, at our discretion, regenerate the report or issue a refund for the affected purchase. To request a refund under this clause, contact dominic@nordparadigm.com within 14 days of purchase, describing the issue. Our automated quality gate validates every report before delivery to ensure it meets our quality standards. If you believe your delivered report contains a material error, contact us and we will review the issue.

This refund policy does not affect statutory rights you may have under applicable consumer protection laws, including the Quebec Consumer Protection Act where applicable.

Your Content

You retain all rights to content you submit (such as URLs and intake form answers). By submitting content, you grant Nord Paradigm a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that content as necessary to provide the products to you and to improve our products on an aggregated, anonymized basis.

Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, our products and reports are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that our products will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.

Nothing in this section limits or excludes any warranty or right that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including the Quebec Consumer Protection Act where applicable.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total cumulative liability arising out of or relating to our products or these terms, regardless of the cause of action, will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred Canadian dollars ($100 CAD).

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, revenue, data, business opportunities, or goodwill, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

These limitations apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Nord Paradigm, its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to your breach of these terms, your violation of any law or third-party right, content you submit to our products, or your use of any report in a manner that exceeds the license granted in these terms.

Termination

You may stop using our products at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue our products. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including the IP, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law sections) will survive.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable in Quebec, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the judicial district of Chicoutimi, Province of Quebec, Canada, for any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or our products.

Before initiating formal legal proceedings, you agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute by contacting us at dominic@nordparadigm.com and allowing us 30 days to respond and, where possible, resolve the matter informally.

Force Majeure

We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, government actions, infrastructure failures, or third-party service provider outages.

General Provisions

Entire agreement: These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Nord Paradigm regarding our products.

Changes to these terms: We may update these terms as our products evolve. Material changes will be communicated on our website and, where appropriate, by email. Continued use of our products after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.

Severability: If any provision of these terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.

No waiver: Our failure to enforce any provision of these terms is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

Assignment: You may not assign these terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Language: These terms are available in English and French. In the event of a conflict between versions, the French version will prevail in respect of customers domiciled in Quebec, and the English version will prevail otherwise.
