Last updated: March 29, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Center for Tariff Recovery Technology platform at ctrt.tech (the "Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Platform. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access the Platform.

2. Description of Services

CTRT provides AI-powered tariff recovery analysis, customs duty refund assessment, HTS classification validation, filing strategy recommendations, and related trade compliance intelligence services through the Platform. Our services utilize Multi-Phase Parallel Thinking (MPPT) architecture to process analytical scenarios and generate filing-grade intelligence. All analytical outputs are intended as decision-support tools and do not constitute legal advice.

3. User Accounts

Certain features of the Platform require account registration. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update such information as necessary. CTRT reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Platform for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable regulations
  • Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information to the analytical services
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to Platform systems or other user accounts
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Platform
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any portion of the Platform
  • Use automated systems to access the Platform in a manner that exceeds reasonable use
  • Reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from Platform content without authorization

5. Intellectual Property

The Platform, including its design, text, graphics, analytical methodologies, algorithms, and software, is the property of CTRT and is protected by intellectual property laws. You retain ownership of data you submit to the Platform. By submitting data for analysis, you grant CTRT a limited, non-exclusive license to process that data solely for the purpose of delivering the requested analytical services.

6. Analytical Outputs and Disclaimers

CTRT analytical outputs, including recovery estimates, confidence scores, filing recommendations, and scenario projections, are generated through computational analysis and are provided for informational and decision-support purposes only. These outputs:

  • Do not constitute legal, tax, or financial advice
  • Are based on data and parameters provided by the user and publicly available regulatory information
  • Should be reviewed by qualified professionals before any filing or legal action
  • May include hypothetical scenarios that use projected figures rather than guaranteed outcomes
  • Are subject to the accuracy and completeness of input data

CTRT does not guarantee any specific recovery amount, filing outcome, or regulatory determination.

7. Engagement and Payment Terms

Specific engagement terms, including fee structures, contingency arrangements, and service scope, are governed by separate engagement agreements executed between CTRT and the client or partner firm. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a specific engagement agreement, the engagement agreement shall control with respect to the services covered by that agreement.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CTRT shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities arising out of or related to your use of the Platform or our services. Our total liability for any claim arising under these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid to CTRT in the twelve months preceding the claim.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CTRT and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Platform, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

10. Modifications

CTRT reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of material changes by posting the updated Terms on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the Platform after any modification constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

11. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
