1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the AS2 Certify platform ("Service"), operated by Branson Solutions LLC ("Company", "we", "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

AS2 Certify is a software-as-a-service platform that provides automated AS2 connection testing, certificate validation, and compliance reporting. The Service validates AS2 protocol configurations including TLS connectivity, certificate chains, encryption, digital signatures, and MDN (Message Disposition Notification) exchange.

AS2 CERTIFY IS NOT A CERTIFICATION BODY, AUDITOR, OR REGULATORY AUTHORITY. Our testing results and compliance reports are informational tools to assist your team in validating AS2 configurations. They do not constitute formal certification, legal compliance verification, or a guarantee of interoperability with any specific trading partner.

3. User Accounts

To use the Service, you must create an account with a valid email address and password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

You must provide accurate and complete information when creating your account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that contain false or misleading information.

4. Subscription Plans and Billing

The Service is offered under multiple subscription tiers (Free, Pro, Pharma, Enterprise) with varying features and usage limits. Paid subscriptions are billed monthly or annually through Stripe. By subscribing to a paid plan, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis.

You may cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds are provided for partial billing periods unless required by applicable law.

6. Certificate and Data Handling

Certificates you upload to the Service are encrypted at rest using AWS S3 server-side encryption with KMS-managed keys. Private keys (when included in PKCS12 uploads) are stored in AWS Secrets Manager. Certificate data is used solely for the purpose of AS2 connection testing and validation.

We do not share your certificate data with third parties. Uploaded certificates may be automatically deleted after test completion as part of our data minimization practices.
