Terms of Service

Last updated: 1 September 2026

IMPORTANT — PROFESSIONAL ADVICE DISCLAIMER Clarius generates sustainability reporting outputs to assist your organisation's compliance with AASB S2 and the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS). These outputs — including gap analyses, materiality assessments, scenario analyses, emissions calculations, and draft reports — are provided as tools to support your compliance workflow. They do not constitute legal, financial, regulatory, or professional advice. All outputs require human review and approval before use. Directors signing declarations under the Corporations Act 2001 (s296A(6), as modified by s1707C) remain personally responsible for the accuracy and completeness of those declarations. Clarius is not a registered legal practitioner, financial adviser, auditor, or assurance provider.
