TCOAUDIT

Terms of Use

Last updated: November 2026. Please read these terms before using TCO Audit.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using TCO Audit (https://tcoaudit.com), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our tools.

2. Estimation & Informational Purposes Only

All financial simulations, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) comparisons, outbound sizing projections, and technical audit scores generated on TCO Audit are provided strictly for informational and benchmarking purposes:

  • Vendor Rate Cards: Software pricing, task allowances, contact tier cliffs, and compute rates change frequently. While we strive to maintain current rate cards, we cannot guarantee real-time accuracy.
  • No Financial or Procurement Advice: Calculator outputs do not constitute formal procurement, legal, or financial advice. You are responsible for verifying all pricing, terms, and service-level agreements directly with vendors before signing contracts or provisioning infrastructure.
  • Migration Costs: Published comparisons model direct software and compute rate cards. They do not model internal developer migration hours, custom integration development, or third-party consulting fees.

3. Limitation of Liability

TCO Audit and its operators provide this platform on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, TCO Audit disclaims all liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your access to, use of, or inability to use our calculators, templates, or recommended software stacks.

4. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree not to misuse our platform:

  • Do not submit malicious scripts, automated bot denial-of-service traffic, or private internal IP addresses (e.g. localhost, private RFC 1918 subnets, or cloud metadata endpoints) to the Live Website Grader (/api/audit).
  • Do not reverse engineer, scrape, or attempt to circumvent our Cloudflare edge router or security rate limits.

5. Governing Law & Contact

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws. If you have questions regarding these terms, contact our team at: partners@tcoaudit.com.
