Terms of Use — Anvil Compliance

The short version: Anvil generates firm-specific regulatory analysis to support your compliance workflow. It is not a law firm, not a compliance officer, and not a substitute for qualified professional judgment. Every output should be reviewed by a qualified compliance professional before being relied upon in any regulatory, examination, or enforcement context.

Section 01

What Anvil Is

Anvil Compliance is a regulatory intelligence platform that generates firm-specific compliance briefs from regulatory documents. Given a regulatory notice, final rule, or agency guidance document, Anvil produces a structured analysis scoped to the entity type you have configured in your firm profile — identifying applicable obligations, extracting key deadlines, assessing non-compliance risk, and recommending immediate actions.

Anvil is a compliance planning tool. It is designed to accelerate and structure the work of compliance professionals, not to replace the professional judgment those workflows require. The platform is intended for use by or under the supervision of qualified compliance counsel, registered compliance professionals, or other personnel with relevant regulatory expertise.

By using Anvil, you agree to these Terms in their entirety. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.

Section 02

Not Legal Advice

Anvil's outputs do not constitute legal advice. No attorney-client relationship is created by use of this platform, by any communication with Anvil Compliance, or by receipt of any generated compliance brief. Anvil is not a law firm and does not provide legal services.

Generated compliance briefs are analytical tools intended to support — not replace — the professional judgment of qualified compliance counsel. A brief produced by Anvil reflects the state of the analytical model at the time of generation and is subject to the limitations described in Section 5. It does not constitute a legal opinion, a regulatory determination, or a guarantee of compliance with any applicable law or regulation.

You are solely responsible for any decision you make based on Anvil's output. All outputs should be independently verified by a qualified legal or compliance professional before being relied upon in any regulatory, examination, or enforcement context.

All Anvil-generated content is labeled "for compliance planning purposes and does not constitute legal advice." This label is accurate and you should treat it accordingly.

Section 03

Section 05

Output Accuracy and Reliability

Anvil enforces five structural precision rules on every output to maximize reliability: anchored dates, source separation, citation confidence thresholds, proposed-vs-final delta surfacing, and stale document detection. Despite these measures, Anvil’s outputs are not guaranteed to be complete, current, or accurate in any specific case.

Known limitations include:

Outputs reflect the regulatory landscape at the time the source document was published and may not account for subsequent amendments, agency guidance, or judicial decisions
Firm-specific applicability determinations are based on the firm profile you configure and may not capture all relevant facts about your entity
Fine ranges and enforcement precedent cited in risk assessments are illustrative and based on general patterns — they are not a prediction of regulatory outcome in any specific case
The model underlying Anvil may produce errors, omissions, or confident-sounding statements that are incorrect — this is a known limitation of current AI systems
Regulatory requirements change frequently; always verify that the source document you are analyzing reflects the most current version of the rule or guidance

Anvil makes no warranty, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose of any generated output. Use of Anvil’s outputs without independent professional verification is at your sole risk.

Section 06
