Applies to: Schools, TAFEs, universities, districts, and other institutions that license Acosta AI through Transnology.

Enterprise Terms of Service

"Terms governing Acosta AI for schools, districts, and institutional customers licensing through Transnology."

These Enterprise Terms of Service (Enterprise Terms) govern the provision of Acosta AI to your organisation under a school, district, pilot, or enterprise agreement with Transnology (we, us, our).

Acosta AI is an education-first AI learning platform operated by Transnology. The consumer-facing service is available at platform.acosta-ai.com. Marketing and general policies are published at acosta-ai.com.

If your organisation has signed an order form, quote, purchase order, or other written agreement with us (Commercial Agreement), that document controls where it conflicts with these Enterprise Terms. Otherwise, these Enterprise Terms apply.

By activating an organisation account, accepting a quote, paying an invoice, or otherwise using Acosta AI under an enterprise arrangement, your organisation agrees to these Enterprise Terms.

2. Definitions

  • Customer — the school, institution, or legal entity entering into an enterprise arrangement with us.
  • Authorised Users — students, teachers, staff, and administrators whom the Customer permits to use Acosta AI under its licence.
  • Organisation— the Customer's tenant on the platform (including members, domains, usage, and configuration).
  • School Admin Dashboard — the administrative interface available to designated Customer administrators (e.g. at /school).
  • Platform — the Acosta AI web application, APIs, and related services we make available under these Enterprise Terms.
  • Usage — metered platform activity (for example AI chat, study tools, image generation, and exam simulations) recorded against the Organisation.
  • Personal Terms — the standard Acosta AI terms of service and privacy policy that apply to individual consumer accounts.

3. Service description

3.1 What we provide

Subject to these Enterprise Terms and payment of applicable fees, we provide the Customer with access to Acosta AI for Authorised Users, which may include:

  • unlimited organisation membership while the Organisation is active;
  • platform access at the tier specified in the Commercial Agreement (typically Max-equivalent access while active);
  • a School Admin Dashboard for designated administrators;
  • bulk member onboarding and invite tools;
  • optional single sign-on (SSO) where configured by Transnology;
  • usage reporting for billing and operational purposes.

3.2 Education-first use

Acosta AI is designed to support learning, study, and exploration — not to replace a student's own thinking by default. Learning Mode encourages academic integrity. The Customer is responsible for communicating its own academic integrity expectations to Authorised Users.

3.3 No guaranteed outcomes

We do not guarantee specific educational outcomes, grades, compliance with a particular syllabus, or uninterrupted availability. AI-generated content may be inaccurate or incomplete. Authorised Users should verify important information.

3.4 Changes to the service

We may improve, modify, or discontinue features of the Platform. We will use reasonable efforts to avoid material adverse changes to enterprise functionality without notice, but we do not guarantee that any particular model, feature, or integration will remain available indefinitely.

4. Customer responsibilities

The Customer agrees to:

  1. Authorisation — only add Authorised Users who are permitted to use the service (e.g. enrolled students, employees, or contractors).
  2. Administration — appoint at least one administrator with a valid account and keep administrator contact details current.
  3. Domains & linking — provide accurate email domains and linking rules; you are responsible for who joins via domain auto-join, invite links, or bulk invite.
  4. Acceptable use — ensure Authorised Users comply with Section 6 and applicable law.
  5. Devices & networks — provide suitable internet access, browsers, and (where used) identity provider configuration for SSO.
  6. Policies — maintain and communicate your own student/staff acceptable use and academic integrity policies.
  7. Accurate information — provide correct billing, tax, and contact details.

The Customer must not misrepresent its identity, attempt to access other organisations' data, or use the Platform to develop a competing product through systematic extraction of our models or outputs.

5. Accounts, access, and suspension

5.1 Organisation status

Each Organisation has a status, typically active, suspended, or churned.

  • While active, Authorised Users receive the enterprise access level defined in the Commercial Agreement.
  • If the Organisation is suspended or churned (including for non-payment), enterprise access ends and Authorised Users revert to their personal Acosta AI plan (if any), usually the Free tier.
  • Suspension does not delete Customer data immediately; see Section 10.

5.2 School administrators

Customer administrators may manage members, view usage summaries, and use onboarding tools made available in the School Admin Dashboard. Administrators must keep credentials secure and act only within their authority.

5.3 SSO

Where SSO is enabled, authentication may be handled by the Customer's identity provider. The Customer is responsible for provisioning and deprovisioning users in its IdP. Transnology configures SSO on request via sales@transnology.co.

5.4 Platform administration

Transnology may access Organisation configuration and usage data as needed to operate, secure, bill, and support the service.

6. Acceptable use

Authorised Users must not use Acosta AI to:

  • harass, threaten, or exploit others;
  • generate or distribute illegal, harmful, or sexually exploitative content, especially involving minors;
  • attempt to bypass safety systems, rate limits, or access controls;
  • scrape, reverse engineer, or systematically harvest the Platform except as expressly permitted;
  • submit highly sensitive personal data (such as full medical records or government identifiers) unless the Customer has assessed the risk and has a lawful basis to do so;
  • use the service in a way that infringes third-party intellectual property.

We may investigate suspected violations and suspend or terminate access where reasonably necessary to protect users, comply with law, or enforce these Enterprise Terms.

7. Fees, billing, and payment

7.1 Usage-based billing

Unless otherwise stated in a Commercial Agreement, enterprise customers are billed on usage, not on a fixed seat cap. Typical components include:

  • a baseline charge per active student per month (as agreed); and/or
  • charges based on aggregated Platform usage (AI actions) per billing period.

Specific rates, currency, billing cycle, payment terms, setup fees, discounts, and tax treatment are set out in the Commercial Agreement or invoice.

7.2 Unlimited access while active

"Unlimited members" and "unlimited usage" mean there is no published seat cap while the Organisation is active. This does not waive fees — usage and active students are still invoiced according to the agreed rates.

7.3 Invoicing

Enterprise fees are usually invoiced manually (purchase order, bank transfer, or other method agreed in writing). Stripe or other payment rails may be used where agreed.

7.4 Taxes

Fees are quoted in the agreed currency. The Customer is responsible for applicable taxes unless we state otherwise. Provide a valid ABN or tax identifier where required.

7.5 Late or non-payment

If fees are not paid by the due date, we may:

  • suspend the Organisation (reverting Authorised Users to personal tiers);
  • charge reasonable interest or recovery costs where permitted by law; and/or
  • terminate the agreement after written notice.

Disputed invoices should be raised promptly with billing@transnology.co.

8. Data protection and privacy

8.1 Roles

Depending on the jurisdiction and how the Customer uses the Platform, the Customer may act as a controller of personal information about Authorised Users (especially students), and Transnology may act as a processor or service providerwhen handling that data on the Customer's instructions.

8.2 Privacy policy

Our general Privacy Policy describes how Acosta AI handles personal information. Enterprise customers with specific data-processing requirements may request a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) via sales@transnology.co.

8.3 Student data

The Customer is responsible for obtaining any consents or authorisations required under applicable education and privacy law (including, in Australia, the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and applicable state education requirements) before enabling student access.

8.4 Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data. No online service is completely secure; the Customer should use SSO, strong passwords, and timely offboarding where possible.

8.5 Data location & subprocessors

The Platform uses infrastructure providers (including cloud hosting and AI model providers). Details of subprocessors and data handling can be provided on request.

9. Intellectual property

9.1 Our IP

Transnology and its licensors own the Platform, Acosta branding, software, documentation, and underlying technology. These Enterprise Terms do not transfer ownership of our IP to the Customer.

9.2 Customer content

The Customer and Authorised Users retain ownership of content they submit to the Platform (prompts, uploads, study materials, etc.), subject to the licence below.

9.3 Licence to operate the service

The Customer grants us a non-exclusive licence to host, process, transmit, and display Customer content solely to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Platform and to meet legal obligations.

9.4 AI outputs

Subject to applicable law and third-party model terms, Authorised Users may use AI-generated outputs for lawful educational purposes. We do not warrant that outputs are original, non-infringing, or fit for a particular purpose.

9.5 Feedback

If the Customer provides suggestions or feedback, we may use it without restriction or compensation.

10. Term, termination, and data retention

10.1 Term

The agreement begins when the Organisation is provisioned or the Commercial Agreement is signed, and continues for the term specified in that agreement (or month-to-month if none is specified) until terminated.

10.2 Termination by Customer

The Customer may terminate by giving written notice in accordance with the Commercial Agreement, or if none is specified, thirty (30) days' notice to billing@transnology.co.

10.3 Termination by Transnology

We may suspend or terminate immediately if the Customer materially breaches these Enterprise Terms, fails to pay undisputed fees, or if continued provision would violate law or create unacceptable risk.

10.4 Effect of termination

On termination:

  • enterprise access ends;
  • Authorised Users revert to personal accounts (if any);
  • accrued fees remain payable;
  • we may delete or anonymise Organisation data after a reasonable retention period, unless law requires longer retention or the parties agree otherwise.

Data export requests should be made before termination where possible via support@acosta-ai.com.

11. Confidentiality

Each party may receive non-public information from the other (pricing, security documentation, student lists, roadmaps, etc.). The receiving party will:

  • use it only to perform under these Enterprise Terms;
  • protect it with reasonable care; and
  • not disclose it except to employees, contractors, or advisers who need to know and are bound by similar obligations,

except where disclosure is required by law or the information is publicly available without breach.

12. Warranties and disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • the Platform is provided "as is" and "as available";
  • we disclaim all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement;
  • we do not warrant uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure operation;
  • AI features are probabilistic and may produce incorrect, biased, or inappropriate content.

Nothing in these Enterprise Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies rights that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or other mandatory law.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  1. Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill.
  2. Transnology's total aggregate liability arising from or related to these Enterprise Terms is limited to the fees paid by the Customer to Transnology in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to liability.

These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be limited under applicable law (including certain consumer guarantees, fraud, or wilful misconduct).

14. Indemnity

The Customer will indemnify and hold harmless Transnology against claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising from:

  • the Customer's or Authorised Users' breach of these Enterprise Terms or applicable law;
  • content submitted by Authorised Users;
  • the Customer's failure to obtain required consents for student or staff data; or
  • the Customer's combination of the Platform with third-party systems outside our documentation,

except to the extent caused by Transnology's breach or negligence.

15. Support and service levels

Standard product support is available at support@acosta-ai.com. Enterprise onboarding, SSO setup, and billing enquiries are handled via the contacts in Section 1.

Unless a separate support or uptime schedule is signed, we do not guarantee a specific response time or availability percentage.

16. General

16.1 Assignment

The Customer may not assign these Enterprise Terms without our written consent. We may assign to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

16.2 Force majeure

Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control (including outages of cloud or AI providers, natural disasters, or government action).

16.3 Notices

Notices to Transnology: billing@transnology.co (billing) or sales@transnology.co (commercial). Notices to the Customer: the billing or administrator email on the Organisation record.

16.4 Governing law

These Enterprise Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. The parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales.

16.5 Entire agreement

These Enterprise Terms, together with any Commercial Agreement, DPA, and accepted order documentation, constitute the entire agreement regarding the enterprise use of Acosta AI and supersede prior discussions on that subject.

16.6 Changes

We may update these Enterprise Terms by publishing a new version in this repository and/or notifying the Customer's administrators. Material changes take effect on the date stated in the updated version or thirty (30) days after notice, whichever is later. Continued use after that date constitutes acceptance. If the Customer objects, either party may terminate in accordance with Section 10.

16.7 Severability

If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect.

17. Relationship to personal accounts

Authorised Users may also hold personal Acosta AI subscriptions. Enterprise access applies only while the Organisation is active and the user is a member. If enterprise access ends, the user's personal plan (if any) applies.

Personal accounts remain subject to the Personal Terms in addition to any school policies the Customer imposes.
