Terms and Conditions

Edge Integrated Systems Pty Ltd · ACN 695 330 221 · Effective: May 2026 · Western Australia, Australia

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the EDGE platform operated by Edge Integrated Systems Pty Ltd (ACN 695 330 221) ("Edge Integrated Systems", "we", "us", "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.

These terms apply to all users of the platform including maintenance supervisors, PTW coordinators, engineers, operations managers, and administrative users.

2. Description of Service

EDGE is a deterministic governance verification platform for high-consequence industrial work order management. The platform:

• Accepts work order reference numbers from CMMS systems (SAP PM, Maximo, or equivalent) without integration
• Applies a structured multi-domain governance assessment to each work order
• Produces a deterministic governance outcome based on submitted field values
• Generates locked, immutable governance evidence records
• Produces output documents (Governance Scorecard, Full Report, Executive Briefing) from locked records

EDGE operates within the Validate™ / Verdict™ / Pipeline product architecture protected by Provisional Patent Application No. 2026903953 (IP Australia, April 2026).

3. Critical Disclaimers

3.1 Not a Safety Assurance

EDGE does not provide safety assurance. A PASS outcome does not constitute a finding that the work is safe. Users remain responsible for all safety obligations under applicable law including but not limited to:

• Work Health and Safety Act 2020 (WA); Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Qld, NSW); Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (Vic)
• Mines Safety and Inspection Act 1994 (WA)
• Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006 (Cth)

• AS/NZS 4801 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems

3.2 Not Legal or Regulatory Advice

Nothing produced by the EDGE platform constitutes legal advice, regulatory guidance, or a determination of compliance with any law, standard, or regulation. Governance records are documentation tools, not legal opinions. Users requiring legal or regulatory advice must consult qualified legal counsel.

3.3 Not a Permit to Work

EDGE is not a permit to work system. A governance record produced by EDGE does not constitute a permit to work, a work authorisation, or an isolation certificate. Operators must maintain and use appropriate permit to work systems independently of EDGE.

3.4 Not a Replacement for Existing Systems

EDGE does not replace safety management systems, CMMS platforms, permit to work systems, or any other operational system. It operates upstream of those systems as a governance verification layer.
