Terms of service.

// Who we are

The operator.

This site is operated by Alvio. In these terms "Alvio", "we", and "us" mean that entity; "you" means the person or organisation using the site. Contact: alvio@alvio.is.

// Using the site

A limited permission.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable permission to access the site and read its content for your own information and to evaluate whether to work with Alvio. You may link to our pages and quote short passages with attribution to alvio.is. Every other right is reserved — see the next section.

// Intellectual property

What is ours, and stays ours.

The site and everything in it — the copy, the page structure, the visual design, the brand name and wordmark, and the way our service catalogue is described — is owned by Alvio or used under licence, and is protected by copyright, trademark, and related rights. That includes our methodology and its expression: the three-pick model, the named offerings Spark Day, Sprint, Forge, and Steer, the guide-first operating approach, the "named owner per engagement" rule, the 90-day plan format, the controls and literacy patterns, and the playbooks, templates, and frameworks behind them.

Nothing on this site transfers any of those rights to you. Reading the site does not grant a licence to our methodology, our materials, or our marks beyond the limited permission above. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

// What you may not do

The lines.

• Copy, reproduce, republish, or redistribute the site's content as your own, or in bulk, beyond the short-quote-with-attribution permission above.
• Use the content, the methodology, or the named offerings to build, market, or operate a competing advisory or delivery service, whether directly or by adaptation.
• Reverse-engineer or reconstruct Alvio's frameworks, playbooks, or templates from the descriptions published here.
• Use the Alvio name, wordmark, or offering names in a way that implies partnership, endorsement, or origin where none exists.
• Scrape, harvest, or systematically download the site to assemble a dataset, except as permitted under "AI and indexing" below.
• Use the site in breach of law, or in a way that damages, overloads, or interferes with it.

// AI and indexing

Discovery yes, cloning no.

Alvio publishes for discovery. Search engines and AI assistants may index, retrieve, and cite our content to answer questions, with attribution to alvio.is — our robots policy sets this out explicitly. What is not permitted is using the content as training or fine-tuning data to build a commercial model or product that reproduces Alvio's methodology or competes with our offerings. Citation and retrieval are welcome; appropriation is not.

// Trademarks

Names and marks.

"Alvio", the Alvio wordmark, and the offering names are trademarks of Alvio, whether or not registered. Microsoft, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Power Platform, Azure, Microsoft Purview, Microsoft Defender, and Microsoft Entra are trademarks of Microsoft Corporation. Other product names belong to their respective owners. Reference to a third-party mark does not imply any affiliation or endorsement.

// What you send us

Enquiries and messages.

When you contact us through the form or by email, you give Alvio permission to use what you send to respond to you and to manage the potential engagement. Please do not send confidential or sensitive information through the website form — share that only once a confidentiality agreement is in place. How we handle personal data is set out in the privacy notice.

// Work, consulting & IP

Alvio owns what Alvio makes.

All work, consulting, and intellectual property that Alvio provides — including deliverables, code, configurations, prototypes, documents, designs, methodology, playbooks, templates, and any improvements or derivatives created in the course of an engagement — is and remains the property of Alvio, unless otherwise agreed in writing. This applies both to our pre-existing materials and to anything produced during the work.

Where a customer needs to use a deliverable, Alvio grants a licence to use it for the customer's own internal business purposes. The scope of that licence, and any transfer of ownership, is set only in the signed engagement agreement — which sets out scope, deliverables, fees, confidentiality, data handling, and liability, governs the engagement, and prevails over this page where they differ. Absent a written term to the contrary, nothing in an engagement assigns Alvio's intellectual property to the customer.

// Not professional advice

General information only.

The content here describes how Alvio works and frames the regulatory landscape it operates in. It is general information, not legal, compliance, or professional advice for your specific situation, and it does not create an engagement or a binding offer. Pricing and scope are confirmed only in a signed agreement.

// Third-party links

Where we point.

This site links to third-party resources — regulators, standards bodies, Microsoft documentation, named partners. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or availability.

// No warranty

As-is.

The site is provided as-is and as-available. We work to keep it accurate and current, but we do not warrant that it is error-free, complete, or continuously available, and we may change or withdraw content at any time.

// Liability

The limit.

To the extent the law allows, Alvio is not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss arising from your use of — or inability to use — this website or anything you do in reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Icelandic law.

// Indemnity

Misuse is on you.

If your breach of these terms — in particular the intellectual-property and prohibited-use sections — causes Alvio loss or a third-party claim, you agree to cover the reasonable costs Alvio incurs as a result.

// Governing law

Iceland.

These terms are governed by the laws of Iceland. Disputes that cannot be resolved between us fall to the Reykjavík District Court (Héraðsdómur Reykjavíkur).

// Changes & severability

Housekeeping.

We may revise these terms as the site or the business changes; the current version always lives at this address, with the date below. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
