Tellus — ESG data & assurance platform, a product of Joshua Rayan Communications (“JRC”, “we”, “us”).
Version 1.1 · Effective 20 June 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the Tellus platform (the “Platform”). Access is by invitation only and is provided to your organisation under a separate commercial agreement between JRC and that organisation (the “Commercial Agreement”). By signing in, you accept these Terms on behalf of yourself and the organisation that authorised your account.
These Terms, the Privacy Policy and the Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) apply together with, and are supplemented by, the Commercial Agreement. In case of conflict, the order of precedence is: (1) the signed Commercial Agreement; (2) the DPA, for data-protection matters; (3) these Terms; and (4) the Privacy Policy.
Accounts are issued to named individuals and must not be shared. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for activity under your account. Access is scoped by role (such as administrator, consultant, client administrator, client user, and assurance/auditor) and by assigned entities. You must not attempt to access data or functions outside your assigned scope. Notify us promptly of any suspected unauthorised use.
You agree not to: use the Platform unlawfully or in breach of these Terms; upload malicious, infringing or unlawful content; attempt to circumvent security, access controls or usage limits; interfere with or disrupt the Platform; reverse-engineer it except to the extent the law permits; or use it to build a competing product. Evidence uploads are validated, and certain file types or files containing active content may be rejected.
As between the parties, the Client owns its Client Data. The Client grants JRC the rights necessary to host, process and display that data to provide the Platform, as described in the Privacy Policy and the Data Processing Agreement. You are responsible for the accuracy, completeness and lawfulness of the data you enter. You represent that you have the right to upload any data and evidence you submit.
The Platform collects ESG data and performs calculations (including greenhouse-gas estimates using published emission factors) as a reporting aid. Outputs do not constitute an audit, an assurance opinion, legal, accounting or professional advice, or a guarantee of regulatory compliance. The Platform allows a Client to record third-party assurance details against a locked reporting year; recording those details does not itself constitute an assurance conclusion, which remains the responsibility of the named assurance provider.
Fees, payment terms and any service-level commitments are set out in the Commercial Agreement. We aim to keep the Platform available but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access, and we may carry out maintenance and may add, change or remove features. We may suspend access for non-payment or material breach in accordance with the Commercial Agreement.
The Platform, including its software, design, content and trademarks (including “Tellus” and “JRC”), is owned by JRC or its licensors and is protected by law. Except for the limited right to use the Platform under these Terms, no rights are granted to you. The Platform may include third-party or open-source components, which are governed by their own licences.
Each party may receive confidential information of the other. Each party will protect the other’s confidential information and use it only to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under these Terms and the Commercial Agreement.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”, and we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Platform will meet every requirement or that calculations and factor data are free from error.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, or for loss of profit, revenue, data or goodwill. Each party’s total aggregate liability arising out of or related to the Platform is limited as set out in the Commercial Agreement, and in the absence of an express cap there, to the fees paid by the Client for the Platform in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.
You will indemnify JRC against third-party claims arising from your unlawful use of the Platform or your breach of these Terms, except to the extent caused by JRC. Any indemnities in the Commercial Agreement prevail over this section.
These Terms apply while you have access to the Platform. Access may be suspended or terminated for breach of these Terms or in accordance with the Commercial Agreement. On termination, Client Data is handled as set out in the Data Processing Agreement (return or deletion).
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated version here, change the version and effective date above, and notify Client administrators of material changes. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Malaysia, and the courts of Malaysia have jurisdiction, subject to any dispute-resolution mechanism set out in the Commercial Agreement.
