Terms

1. Who you are agreeing with

Cloverbase Limited (NZBN 9429051598744), a New Zealand company based at Whangārei Heads, Northland. In these terms, “Cloverbase”, “we”, “us”, and “our” mean Cloverbase Limited. “You” and “your” mean the person reading the website or using a Cloverbase tool.

2. Using the website

By using cloverbase.com you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the website.

You may read, share, and reference our published articles, link to any page, and use the Cloverbase Diagnostic for your own organisation or one you advise. You may not scrape the website at scale, republish our articles in full without permission, or use any Cloverbase content to train AI models.

3. Intellectual property

The Cloverbase brand, logo, written articles, methodology diagrams, the Cloverbase Diagnostic, and the structure of cloverbase.com are owned by Cloverbase Limited or licensed to us. You may quote up to twenty-five consecutive words from any Cloverbase article with attribution and a link back to the source. Longer quotes or republication require written permission.

Open-source assets used on this site (Geist and Geist Mono typefaces by Vercel, Source Serif 4 by Adobe, Lucide icons) are licensed under the SIL Open Font Licence and ISC Licence respectively, separately from these terms.

Anything you submit through the contact form, the diagnostic, or in conversation with us remains yours. You give us a limited licence to use it for the purpose you sent it to us (answering your question, processing your diagnostic, scoping an engagement). See the privacy page for the detail.

4. Paid engagements

Cloverbase mentorship engagements (workshops, strategy mentorships, adoption mentorships, innovation programmes) are governed by a separate written agreement signed by Cloverbase and the client organisation. That agreement covers scope, timeline, deliverables, fees, payment terms, confidentiality, and the ownership of anything produced during the engagement.

These website terms do not create a contract for services. They do not commit Cloverbase to take on any engagement. Pricing shown on the website is indicative only and is finalised in the engagement agreement.

5. Using the Cloverbase Diagnostic

The Cloverbase Diagnostic is a structured frame designed to help you understand where your organisation sits on AI capability. Your result is a starting picture, not a measurement instrument and not a regulated assessment. Do not rely on the diagnostic alone for procurement, investment, governance, or human-resource decisions. Talk to a senior practitioner before acting on a result.

You may use the diagnostic for your own organisation or one you formally advise, as often as you like, free of charge.

6. About the content on this website

We try to make every article on cloverbase.com accurate, current, and useful. The AI ecosystem moves fast. Information that was true in May 2026 may not be true six months later. Each article is dated. Treat dated content as the position at the date shown.

Articles, comparisons, and reviews on cloverbase.com reflect our professional judgement at the time of writing. They are not legal, accounting, or other regulated professional advice. They are also not endorsements; where we name another company favourably or unfavourably, we name them honestly and we have no commercial relationship with them unless that is explicitly disclosed in the article.

7. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by New Zealand law, Cloverbase’s liability to you for any loss arising from your use of cloverbase.com, the Cloverbase Diagnostic, or any article published here is limited to NZ$100. This cap does not apply to liability that cannot be excluded under New Zealand law (for example, claims under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 where they apply).

For paid engagements, the limitation of liability is set out in the engagement agreement and operates independently of this clause.

8. Links to other sites

Where we link to other websites, we do so because we think they are useful. We do not control those sites and we are not responsible for what they publish, change, or do with your data. Read their terms before relying on them.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms when the brand evolves or when the law changes. The date at the top of the page reflects the most recent material update. The previous version is archived and available on request.

10. Ending things

You can stop using cloverbase.com at any time. We can stop providing access to cloverbase.com, the diagnostic, or any other public tool at any time without notice. If we terminate your access for misuse (for example, scraping or training AI on our content), we will tell you why if it is practical to do so.

11. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. The District Court of New Zealand sitting in Whangārei has non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute that cannot be resolved through the contact channels on this website.

Before any formal dispute, we expect both sides to attempt to resolve the matter through correspondence in good faith for at least thirty days.

12. Contact

For any question about these terms, use the contact page. We respond within ten working days.
