Terms of Use

Last updated

The conditions for using Gemisis, and what our communication checks do and do not confirm.

About these terms

These terms govern access to the Gemisis website and Google Gmail, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams integrations operated by Gemisis Canada. Please read them before using the service. If you do not agree, do not use it. Any separately agreed customer contract continues to govern the matters it expressly covers; these terms do not silently replace that agreement.

If you act for an organization, you must have the authority and permissions needed for your use. Google's and Microsoft's terms and your organization's policies apply separately. Questions about these terms can be raised through our Contact page.

What the service confirms

Gemisis provides communication-context and account-connection checks. In Teams, an eligible user can check Microsoft-provided context for a selected message sender or a participant currently in a supported meeting, and whether that Microsoft account has a current Gemisis connection.

Gmail checks assess the accessible message metadata and available registration or public-source domain associations. Google Meet checks compare Google-provided participant identifiers with current Gemisis connections or applicable organization registrations. Public-source domain associations remain distinct from verified mailbox control or message origin. A Google account match does not prove employment or authority to represent a company.

A confirmation concerns the account and context described in the result at the time of the check. It does not establish a person's legal identity, employment, qualifications, organizational authority, or intentions. It does not guarantee message accuracy, transaction safety, or freedom from fraud. An account can be compromised even when its provider identity is valid.

A not-registered result is not a finding of fraud. An unavailable or incomplete check is not a negative finding about a person. Do not rely on a result as the sole basis for a payment, disclosure of sensitive information, or another consequential action. Follow your own verification and authorization procedures.

Accounts and permissions

Use only accounts and communications you are entitled to access. Keep account access secure and contact us about suspected unauthorized use. Do not connect another person's account without authority or impersonate the owner of a connection.

Teams checks depend on eligible Microsoft work or school accounts, supported clients, Microsoft APIs, app installation, consent, and tenant policies. Anonymous users, personal Microsoft accounts, and some meeting or cloud configurations may not support these checks. Your administrator may need to permit installation or access.

Website descriptions explain the product; they do not grant access to another person's data or promise that every described feature is available for every account or client.

Acceptable use

Use Gemisis for its intended purposes and in accordance with applicable law. Do not:

  • Impersonate someone or misrepresent what a Gemisis result confirms.
  • Probe conversations, meetings, accounts, or records you are not allowed to access.
  • Bypass authentication, membership checks, permissions, request limits, or other security controls, including by sharing private check contexts to evade them.
  • Build unauthorized profiles or directories through automated enumeration.
  • Submit malicious material, disrupt the service, or try to obtain another user's credentials or confidential information.
  • Use the service in breach of Microsoft's terms or your organization's policies.

Report suspected vulnerabilities through our Contact page and follow the responsible disclosure guidance. These terms do not authorize intrusive testing or access to other people's data.

Your information and privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains the information processed, the limited results disclosed to eligible people performing checks, retention, disconnection, and available privacy requests. Connecting your Teams account enables those relevant connection-status checks; it does not expose your account credentials.

You retain the rights you hold in your information. Gemisis processes it to provide and protect the service as described in that policy. These terms do not grant a general right to publish private messages or sell your information.

Microsoft and other services

Microsoft operates Teams, Microsoft identity services, and related APIs. Gemisis is an independent service, not a Microsoft product or a claim of Microsoft endorsement. Microsoft and other linked services have their own terms and privacy notices.

Provider changes, permissions, outages, or tenant policies may affect functionality. Gemisis cannot override your organization's policies or guarantee that all Microsoft accounts and clients support every feature.

Disconnecting and restrictions

You can stop using the service and disconnect a Teams account in Gemisis. Removing the Teams app or revoking Microsoft consent is separate from deleting the Gemisis connection. The Privacy Policy explains the corresponding data handling.

Access may be restricted where reasonably necessary to address abuse, unauthorized access, security incidents, legal requirements, or a material breach of these terms. Contact us to ask about a restriction or seek review. Any applicable customer contract and mandatory legal rights remain in effect.

Availability, updates, and charges

We may update the service to maintain security, address defects, or reflect provider changes. These terms do not promise uninterrupted availability, a response time, or a service level. Any separately agreed support or service-level commitment applies on its own terms.

These terms do not create a subscription, authorize a payment, or introduce a recurring charge. Any commercial arrangement must be agreed separately. Access to independent Microsoft or other services remains subject to their own arrangements.

Rights and responsibility

Gemisis retains its rights in the service, its software, and its branding. You may use the service for its intended purposes, subject to these terms. Do not falsely present yourself as Gemisis or imply an endorsement that has not been given.

Except for commitments separately agreed in writing and rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, the service is provided as available, without a guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or suitable as your only safeguard against impersonation. Nothing here excludes liability or a remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, or overrides an applicable customer agreement. Responsibility for a particular issue is determined by applicable law and any relevant agreement.

Changes, questions, and disputes

We identify revisions using the date above. Changes do not remove accrued rights or override an existing agreement's change process. Additional notice or consent will be provided where required by applicable law.

Contact Gemisis Canada through our Contact page about a service issue, these terms, or a dispute. These terms do not impose mandatory arbitration or waive access to courts, regulators, or remedies available under applicable law.
