    ISO Standards Add-on — Supplemental Terms

    Last updated: 30 July 2026

    1. Scope and Relationship to the Terms of Service

    These supplemental terms (the "Add-on Terms") govern the Customer's subscription to and use of the ISO Standards Add-on (the "Add-on") and apply in addition to the Ansvar Terms of Service (the "Terms"). Capitalised terms not defined here have the meaning given in the Terms. In case of conflict regarding the Add-on, these Add-on Terms prevail. By subscribing to the Add-on, the Customer accepts these Add-on Terms.

    2. The Add-on

    The Add-on provides a User with access, through the Service, to selected parts of standards published by the Swedish Institute for Standards ("SIS"), the Swedish member of ISO and CEN — including Swedish (SS), European (EN), and international (ISO/IEC, ISO/SAE) standards as adopted by SIS — that Ansvar offers through the Service from time to time (each a "Standard"), as selected and paid for by the Customer. The Standards available for subscription, their exact designations, and their prices are shown in the account area and on the Ansvar website at the time of purchase. Ansvar may add Standards to, and subject to Section 8 withdraw Standards from, the catalogue from time to time.

    The Standards are reproduced under a licence agreement between Ansvar and SIS. SIS is the owner and copyright holder of the Standards. Ansvar is a licensed supplier, not the owner. Only selected parts of the Standards are displayed through the Service; the Standards are not reproduced in their entire original form. The complete Standards are sold by SIS at www.sis.se, Tel: +46 (0)8 555 523 10.

    Content served under the Add-on is delivered clause by clause in response to queries from the User or from MCP-compatible client software (including AI agents) acting on the User's behalf, and each reproduced part is accompanied by attribution to SIS.

    3. Verification for Certain Standards

    Certain Standards — for example standards concerning medical devices or other safety-critical subject matter — are designated as requiring verification before access is granted, because SIS considers their use without relevant experience to carry risk. Standards subject to verification are identified as such in the account area at the time of purchase.

    For such Standards, Ansvar may ask the Customer to evidence relevant professional context or experience before activating, or as a condition of continuing, the subscription. Ansvar may decline or delay activation until verification is completed and will refund any fees paid for a subscription that is declined. The Customer acknowledges that the outcome of such verification is reported to SIS as part of the reporting described in Section 7.

    4. Licence and Permitted Use

    Subject to payment and compliance with the Agreement, Ansvar grants, for each subscribed seat, a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right during the subscription period to access the selected parts of the subscribed Standards through the Service, for the Customer's internal business purposes.

    The Add-on is licensed per seat, per Standard. Each seat is assigned to exactly one identified holder, which may be either (a) a named individual — together with client software, including AI agents, operating under that individual's authenticated account — or (b) one identified machine identity (a service credential) operated by the Customer, for example the Customer's own AI agent or automated system. A seat entitles only its assigned holder to access the subscribed Standards through the Service; it does not entitle other individuals or systems, whether or not employed or operated by the Customer. The Customer may reassign a seat to a different holder through the account area; a seat may not be used by more than one holder at a time. Use of the Add-on by a machine identity remains subject to these Add-on Terms in full, including Section 5, and the Customer is responsible for the acts and omissions of its machine identities as for its own.

    The User may incorporate limited excerpts of served content into the Customer's internal work products (for example a statement of applicability, gap analysis, or risk assessment), provided the SIS attribution accompanying the excerpt is retained.

    5. Restrictions

    In addition to the restrictions in the Terms, the Customer shall not, and shall ensure that its Users, other seat holders, and their client software do not:

    • share, pool, or rotate Add-on credentials or access tokens among multiple individuals or systems;
    • re-serve, proxy, resell, or otherwise make content served under the Add-on available to third parties or to individuals without their own subscription, including through internal portals, shared repositories, or automated relays;
    • systematically retrieve, store, or assemble served content so as to reproduce a Standard, in whole or in substantial part, outside the Service;
    • modify, translate, or otherwise alter reproduced parts of a Standard and present the result as the text of the Standard; or
    • remove or obscure the SIS attribution accompanying served content.

    These restrictions reflect obligations Ansvar owes to SIS under its licence. A breach of this Section 5 is a material breach of the Agreement.

    6. Fair Use and Rate Limits

    Access under the Add-on is subject to the rate limits and usage quotas applicable to the Customer's account. Automated access, including by AI agents, must remain within those limits. Ansvar may throttle, temporarily suspend, or — in case of persistent or serious abuse — terminate Add-on access where usage patterns indicate credential sharing, systematic extraction, or other use inconsistent with Section 5, or where usage threatens the integrity or availability of the Service. Where reasonably practicable, Ansvar will notify the Customer and give an opportunity to remedy before suspension.

    7. Usage Metering and Reporting to SIS

    Ansvar meters use of the Add-on (which Standards each seat is subscribed to and aggregate usage volumes) for billing, fair-use enforcement, and abuse detection. Ansvar does not inspect the content of the Customer's queries beyond what is required to operate the Service.

    Under its licence with SIS, Ansvar is required to report to SIS, quarterly, the number of its Add-on customers, their identity, and which Standards each uses. For Standards subject to verification (Section 3), the outcome of the verification is also reported to SIS. By subscribing to the Add-on, the Customer acknowledges this disclosure. The processing of personal data in this context is described in the Ansvar Privacy Notice.

    8. Subscription, Changes, and Termination

    Add-on subscriptions are per Standard, per seat, and renew in accordance with the billing period selected at purchase. The Customer may add or remove individual Standards through the account area. When the selected Standard shares a subscription with other items, removal takes effect after the payment provider confirms the change and a prorated credit is applied for unused paid time. When it is the subscription's sole item, cancellation is scheduled for the end of the current paid period and access remains until then. The Customer may also cancel a whole subscription through the payment provider's customer portal. After a removal or cancellation takes effect, access to the affected Standard ceases unless another active or manual grant remains.

    Ansvar may add further standards to the Add-on catalogue from time to time. If Ansvar's licence to reproduce a Standard expires or is terminated, Ansvar may withdraw that Standard from the Service upon reasonable notice; in that case Ansvar will refund any prepaid fees attributable to the withdrawn Standard on a pro-rata basis for the remainder of the paid period. Such withdrawal and refund is the Customer's sole remedy for the withdrawal.

    Sections 9 (warranty disclaimers), 12 (Intellectual Property Rights), and 17 (Limitation of Liability) of the Terms apply to the Add-on and to all content served under it. Served content is decision-support information; it does not constitute legal or professional advice, and certification-grade use of a Standard requires the complete official Standard as published by SIS.
