Terms of use

1. Scope

These terms govern the use of this website and — together with the order form and the data processing agreement — the Sceau platform, operated by Galactic Automation BV, Zottegem, Belgium, BE 0768.244.354.

2. The service

Sceau provides software and, where agreed, operational compliance support for obliged entities performing anti-money-laundering obligations: onboarding, screening, monitoring, governance, evidence, workpaper preparation and reporting support.

Compliance as a Service means Sceau may operate substantial parts of the office's AML workflow on the office's behalf, including reminders, review cycles, evidence collection, register-check tasks, discrepancy follow-up, policy versioning, training records, inspection-pack assembly and structured file preparation. Where permitted, Sceau may also guide official processes in the office's name and under the office's own access rights.

Sceau does not become the obliged entity, the reporting entity, the regulated professional or the legal decision-maker. The office remains responsible for its legal status, compliance framework, final decisions, filings, sign-offs, use of restricted-register rights and statutory accountability, including the responsibilities of its AMLCO and other mandated professionals. Outsourcing tasks does not outsource that responsibility.

Sceau does not provide reserved legal advice and does not replace professional judgment where the law requires judgment, signature or approval by the office, its AMLCO, partner, notary, lawyer, accountant or tax advisor. Outputs marked as AI-assisted are informational, non-binding and require human review.

3. Accounts and acceptable use

Account holders keep credentials confidential, maintain accurate data, and use the platform only for lawful compliance purposes within their mandate. Attempting to circumvent security, probe other tenants' data, or use the service to facilitate unlawful activity terminates the right of use immediately.

4. Data and evidence

The office remains the owner and controller of its compliance data. Evidence entries are append-only by design; the integrity ledger may not be manipulated. On termination, the office can export its complete data and evidence chain; statutory retention obligations remain the office's responsibility.

5. Availability and changes

We operate the service with commercially reasonable care, announce planned maintenance, and continuously update rule packs and data integrations as the law and sources evolve. Where a third-party source changes or restricts access, the platform reports this transparently.

6. Liability

To the extent permitted by law, our liability is limited to direct damage and capped at the fees paid for the service in the twelve months before the event. We are not liable for the regulatory decisions of an office, for findings of a supervisor, or for the completeness of third-party public data sources — the platform is built to surface gaps, not to guarantee their absence.

7. Law and forum

Belgian law applies. Disputes belong to the courts of the judicial district of East Flanders, division Ghent, without prejudice to mandatory consumer rules.
