Terms of Service
AI Savings Evidence · Dr Idris Maiga Version 1.3.0, effective 14 November 2026. This version replaces the earlier packaged-review list with the Advisory and Delivery Ladder, and adds the Programme Recovery Kit to section 16. Orders already placed stay under the version in force when you ordered.
Payment at launch. Card checkout is not open yet. Until it opens, kits and all fees are paid by invoice or bank transfer. Where these terms refer to a Stripe payment link, a card payment or a checkout, that applies only once card checkout opens. Until then, the choices described for checkout in section 16 (including whether to receive kit files now or after the 14-day cancellation period) are made in writing when you request the invoice, and I confirm them by email.
These terms apply to my digital template kits (section 16) and to advisory and delivery work I supply, including the Executive Fit Call, the Focused Diagnostic, an Assurance Review, a Recovery Sprint, Fractional advisory, and any other engagement under a written quote that refers to these terms. Please read them before you pay or confirm a booking. Paying a payment link, ticking the box at checkout, accepting a quote, or my written acceptance of your purchase order, means you accept them.
My Refund Policy (refunds.html) and my Customer Privacy Notice (privacy.html) form part of these terms.
In short: template kits are digital downloads with a licence to use them (section 16). If a kit isn't useful, tell me within 14 days of delivery for a full refund. If you are a consumer, you keep a 14-day right to cancel unless you ask for the files to be sent straight away and accept that you lose it. Advisory and delivery work is scoped in writing. A Focused Diagnostic may be cancelled for a full refund before work starts; after delivery, the Refund Policy explains when a refund or revision is available. Larger engagements follow the written quote, including any deposit or payment-in-advance terms. My liability is capped as set out in section 9. Any claim must be raised within 12 months of you becoming aware of it. The work is evidence, analysis and delivery support, not an audit and not legal or financial advice.
1. Who you are contracting with
You are contracting with Dr Idrissa Maiga, trading as Dr Idris Maiga (AI Savings Evidence), sole trader ("I", "me", "we", "us").
Address for service: Margarita Plaza, 81 Adelaide Street, Belfast BT2 8FF, United Kingdom
Email: hello@savingsevidence.com
VAT: not VAT registered, so no VAT is charged.
AI Savings Evidence is the name I trade under. It is not a company. ZuriTech Global Niger SARL is a separate company and is not a party to any order. If your card statement shows ZURITECH GLOBAL, that is the former name on my payment account, and the charge is for your order with me.
2. Who these services are for
Advisory and delivery work is sold to organisations for business use: companies, partnerships, public bodies, charities and similar bodies. By ordering, you confirm that you are ordering for your organisation and that you have authority to do so. If you are in fact buying as a consumer, your statutory consumer rights still apply and are not affected by anything in these terms (see the Refund Policy, sections 8 and 9).
My template kits may be bought by organisations or by individuals. Section 16 explains how they work, including the extra rights consumers have.
3. The Advisory and Delivery Ladder, and prices
Engagement | Price | What you get | How it is billed |
|---|---|---|---|
Executive Fit Call | Free | A 15-minute call to confirm whether there is a fit and what a paid engagement would cover. It is not a diagnosis and does not include written findings. | No charge. Time-boxed at 15 minutes. |
Focused Diagnostic (also described as an AI Value Snapshot at this fee) | £1,500 | A written, time-boxed review of one focused AI investment or delivery question, with a clear recommendation and next-step options. Scope and timetable are confirmed in writing after the Fit Call. This is not legal or financial advice. | Paid in full before work starts, by invoice or bank transfer (or by card if we agree). |
Assurance Review | £4,000 to £6,000 | A deeper review of AI investment or delivery assurance, scoped in a written quote. | As set out in the quote. Typically a deposit, with the balance before delivery, by invoice or bank transfer. |
Recovery Sprint | £8,000 to £15,000 | A time-boxed recovery engagement for a programme or delivery problem, scoped in a written quote. | 50 percent upfront, with the balance as set out in the quote, by invoice or bank transfer. |
Fractional advisory | £3,000 to £7,500 a month | Ongoing programme or delivery advisory, scoped in a written quote, including days or hours in the month and the notice period. | Paid in advance each month, by invoice or bank transfer. |
Prices are set in pounds sterling (GBP). I am not VAT registered, so I charge no VAT. Engagements above £1,500 are billed by invoice or bank transfer unless we agree otherwise in writing. The commercial floor for advisory and delivery time is £550 a day (£68.75 an hour). A written quote may set a fee inside the bands above. Delivery dates and working arrangements are those in the quote or confirmation email. Working days are Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays in Northern Ireland.
If we agree that you will pay a kit, or a fee we have agreed to take by card, through Stripe, prices are fixed in GBP. Depending on where you are, the Stripe checkout may offer to charge you in your local currency. If you choose that, Stripe converts the GBP price at its own exchange rate, which includes a conversion fee set by Stripe, and shows you the exact amount in your currency before you pay. You can choose to pay in GBP instead; Stripe then adds no conversion fee, although your bank may apply its own exchange rate and fees. If I refund you, the refund is made in the currency you paid in, for the amount you paid.
Template kit prices are in section 16.1.
4. How fees relate
The packaged reviews and credits listed in earlier versions of these terms (including a £149 AI Value Snapshot, an AI Licence Renewal Decision Pack, AI Savings Evidence at £495, and a Board AI Value Note) are no longer offered as standard products. If you bought one of those reviews, the terms in force when you ordered still apply to that order, including any credit that was still in date.
No credit from a previous review applies to the Advisory and Delivery Ladder, and no credit applies to or from a template kit.
5. How an order works
Order. For a kit, you pay the payment link. For advisory work, you book a Fit Call or accept a written quote, and you pay as that quote or these terms require, or I accept your purchase order in writing.
Intake. I email you within 1 working day of payment (or of a confirmed booking) with a short intake form or data checklist, unless the quote sets a different start.
Work. I prepare the agreed work from the figures and documents you send, and from the conversations we have booked.
Delivery. I send your review by email, as PDFs and, where stated, a spreadsheet or workbook.
What I need from you. Accurate, complete and timely information, sent as aggregate figures. Delays caused by missing or late information, or by changes you make to the scope, extend the delivery date and do not count as late delivery.
No personal data. My reviews use aggregate data only. Please do not send names, staff IDs, email addresses, salaries or other details of identifiable people. If such details arrive, I delete them unread and ask for a cleaned copy.
No system access. I never need logins, admin access or a connection to your systems.
Template kits have no intake. Section 16.4 explains how they are delivered.
6. Purchase orders
If your organisation needs to pay by purchase order, email me before ordering. A purchase order is accepted only when I confirm acceptance in writing, and no work starts before then. Terms printed on or referred to in a purchase order apply only to the extent I agree to them in writing. Otherwise these terms apply. Invoices are payable within 30 days of the invoice date.
7. What a review is, and what it is not
A review is an evidence and analysis review to support your own decision. It is not an audit, assurance or certification engagement; not financial, investment, legal or tax advice; and not any activity regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority or the Prudential Regulation Authority.
It is not, and does not form part of, any statement under section 25 of the Local Government Act 2003 or sections 4 and 6 of the Local Government Finance Act (Northern Ireland) 2011, or any board or governing-body sign-off. It does not recommend any investment, financial product, supplier or redundancy.
Scores, verdicts, savings figures, cash and capacity splits and sensitivity ranges are assessments of the evidence supplied, as at the review date. They are not forecasts, promises or guarantees that any saving or outcome will be achieved.
You must check any figure, score or finding against your own records before relying on it. Responsibility for your estimates, budgets, savings figures, decisions and any statutory or board statement stays with your organisation.
Who may rely on a review. Reviews are for your organisation's internal use. Others, including auditors, councillors, committees, regulators, the public and anyone who receives a review under freedom-of-information rules, may read it, but I accept no responsibility to anyone other than you, and only you may bring a claim. A Board AI Value Note states on its face that no one else may rely on it.
8. How I work, and AI
I use AI tools to help with research, drafting, calculations and checking. I review and sign off every deliverable myself before it is sent. For digital template kits, I approve each kit file once, and the same approved file is sent to every buyer.
Despite that review, AI-assisted work can contain errors, omissions or out-of-date information. My duty of reasonable care and skill applies to the deliverable as a whole, whether or not AI assisted.
I don't use your documents to train AI models. I use them only to prepare your review, with the tools listed in my Customer Privacy Notice, and I delete them 90 days after delivery. I keep the final deliverable with the order record. I will tell you before adding a new provider that would process your material.
No AI vendor, reseller or referring firm pays me for what I recommend. I'm also a co-founder of ZuriTech Global, which builds and sells AI agents and access to AI tools. If anything ZuriTech or another business I'm involved with offers could be relevant, I'll tell you in writing up front, alongside alternatives; you're free to ignore it, and it never changes my findings or your price.
9. Liability
9.1 What is never limited. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for (a) death or personal injury caused by negligence; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.
9.2 Standard of work. I will perform the services with reasonable care and skill. I give no guarantee, warranty or promise of any result, including any saving, licence or budget outcome, and I give no indemnity. My responsibility to you is no greater than it would be under the general law for a supplier using reasonable care and skill.
9.3 Losses I am not responsible for. Subject to clause 9.1, I am not liable, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, for: (a) indirect or consequential loss; (b) loss of profits, revenue, savings or anticipated savings, or of budget headroom; (c) loss of business, contracts or goodwill; (d) loss of or damage to data; (e) costs of re-planning, re-procurement or re-purchasing licences; (f) any loss arising from your failure to check findings as section 7 requires; or (g) any loss arising from information you supplied being inaccurate or incomplete.
9.4 Overall cap. Subject to clause 9.1, my total liability arising out of or in connection with each order, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, is limited to the greater of (a) the fees paid for that order and (b) £5,000. If you need a higher limit, tell me before you order and I will say whether I can offer it, and at what price.
9.5 Claims period. Any claim must be notified to me in writing, with reasonable details, within 12 months of the date on which you became aware, or ought reasonably to have become aware, of the facts giving rise to it. This clause does not apply to consumers or to the matters in clause 9.1.
9.6 Consumers. If you are a consumer, I am responsible for loss you suffer that is a foreseeable result of my breaching these terms or failing to use reasonable care and skill. My liability to a consumer is never restricted below the price paid, and clauses 9.3 to 9.5 do not apply.
9.7 Template kits. This section 9 also applies to template kits, read with section 16. Where it refers to services or a review, read it as the kit.
10. Refunds, revisions and late delivery
These are set out in full in my Refund Policy. In summary:
Focused Diagnostic (£1,500). Full refund if you cancel before work starts. Full refund if you tell me within 14 days of delivery that it was not useful (no reason needed; one such refund per organisation). One revision round, requested within 14 days of delivery, for factual or arithmetic errors, anything that misstates your intake answers, and unclear wording. A revision does not cover a different question, new data supplied after delivery, or a new analysis. If I miss a promised delivery date for reasons on my side, you can cancel for a full refund.
Assurance Review, Recovery Sprint, and Fractional advisory. The written quote sets the fee, payment dates, what is included, and any refund or cancellation terms. A Recovery Sprint is billed 50 percent upfront. Fractional advisory is paid in advance each month. If you cancel before work starts, I refund any amount you have paid that the quote does not allow me to keep as an agreed deposit. If you cancel after work has started, fees for work already done are not refunded, and any further refund is only as the quote provides. A refund never exceeds the amount you have paid and not yet earned under that quote. Unless the quote says otherwise, I will correct factual errors in a deliverable if you tell me within 14 days of delivery. If I miss a promised delivery date for reasons on my side, you can cancel for a refund of fees paid for work not yet delivered, unless the quote says otherwise.
Digital template kits. Full refund if the files have not yet been supplied, subject to the Refund Policy and sections 16.5 to 16.7. If you tell me within 14 days of delivery that a kit was not useful, I refund what you paid in full (no reason needed; one refund per organisation, or per person for an individual buyer, for each kit). There are no revision rounds for kits. If a file will not open or is damaged, I send a working copy; if I cannot, I refund you.
The Executive Fit Call is free, so no refund arises. A refund never exceeds the amount you paid. If you bought a review under an earlier version of the Refund Policy, that earlier version still applies to that order.
11. Confidentiality and data
I keep your documents and the content of your review confidential, and use them only to prepare and support your review. I may share them only with the service providers listed in my Customer Privacy Notice, or where the law requires. You may share your review within your organisation and with your auditors and advisers. If your organisation needs a data processing agreement, ask me before ordering.
12. Intellectual property
Once you have paid, you may use your review for your organisation's internal purposes and share it as section 11 allows. I keep the rights in my methods, templates, rubrics and know-how. Template kits are licensed under section 16.3.
13. General
Entire agreement. These terms, the order details and any scoping email I sent you before you ordered are the whole agreement for the order. Nothing in this clause limits liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
Events outside my control. I am not responsible for delays caused by events outside my reasonable control. If such an event delays delivery by more than 10 working days, either of us may cancel and you get a full refund.
Changes to these terms. I may update these terms. The version in force when you ordered applies to your order.
Third parties. No one other than you and me has any right to enforce these terms.
Notices. Notices must be in writing, by email to the address in section 1 or by post to the address for service.
Language. These terms, the Refund Policy, and the Customer Privacy Notice are written in English, and the English text governs. Any translation of a webpage, summary or other material is for convenience only; if there is any difference, the English text prevails.
14. Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of Northern Ireland, and disputes go to the courts of Northern Ireland. If you are a consumer living elsewhere in the UK, you may also bring proceedings in the courts where you live and keep any mandatory protections of that law. If you are a consumer living outside the UK, you also keep any mandatory protections of the law where you live.

16. Digital template kits
16.1 What this section covers. This section applies when you buy one of my digital template kits:
Kit | Price | Files |
|---|---|---|
Decision-First Programme Board Pack | £39 | Board pack template and worked example (PowerPoint .pptx), programme controls workbook (Excel .xlsx), programme board terms of reference (Word .docx), guide (PDF) |
AI Portfolio Keep / Fix / Stop Kit | £69 | AI portfolio register and AI initiative evidence workbook (Excel .xlsx), board paper template and worked example (Word .docx), guide (PDF) |
Board & AI Portfolio Bundle | £99 | All files in both kits above |
Programme Recovery Kit | £49 | Files as described on the product page, including a worked example |
Kit prices are set in GBP. Section 3 explains what happens if you choose to pay in another currency.
It also applies to any other kit whose product page says these terms apply. The product page describes what each kit contains. Prices are in pounds sterling. I am not VAT registered, so I charge no VAT. Sections 3 to 6 and 10 (reviews, credits, intake, purchase orders and review refunds) do not apply to kits, except where this section says so.
16.2 What a kit is, and what it is not.
A kit is a set of digital files that you download or receive by email. It is not a review, consultancy, advice or support service. Nobody reviews your situation or your figures.
The guides, templates and worked examples are general information to help you prepare your own board papers and decisions. Worked examples use fictional organisations. A kit is not financial, investment, legal, tax or procurement advice, and is not tailored to your organisation.
Any figures, scores or calls that the workbooks produce come from the numbers you enter. They are not forecasts, promises or guarantees that any saving, benefit or outcome will be achieved. You must check the results against your own records before you rely on them. Decisions you make with a kit stay yours.
What you will need: the files are PowerPoint (.pptx), Excel (.xlsx), Word (.docx) and PDF files. They are designed for Microsoft 365 and tested in LibreOffice. Other software, such as Google Workspace, may display some formatting or formulas differently. You will also need a PDF reader. The files have no copy protection or activation.
Nothing in this section 16.2 takes away the rights in sections 16.5 to 16.7, or anything said about a kit on its product page that the law treats as part of our contract.
16.3 Your licence.
What you get. When you have paid, I grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the kit's files for your own internal business purposes, or, if you buy as an individual, for your own personal use.
Who may use it. The licence type is the one stated on the product page when you buy. Unless the product page says otherwise: (a) an organisation licence covers any number of staff in the single organisation that bought it; (b) an individual's purchase covers that individual only; (c) consultants and advisers may use a kit for one client per purchase. Wider team, group or multi-client use is allowed only if it was stated at purchase.
What you may do. Copy the files within the licensed organisation, edit them, fill them in, remove my example content and adapt them for your own use. Board papers, packs and registers you complete with a kit are yours to use and share as you wish, including with your board, auditors and advisers, and (for consultants) with the one licensed client. That freedom applies to the completed document only, not to the blank kit.
What you may not do. You may not: (a) sell, resell, rent, sublicense, give away or otherwise distribute the kit or any of its files, whether edited or not, including as part of another template, toolkit or course; (b) upload or share them in any template marketplace, file-sharing site or public repository; (c) use them, in whole or in part, to train, fine-tune or test an AI model, or upload them to any AI service that may use them for that purpose (using an AI assistant inside your organisation to help you fill in your own copy is fine if the tool does not train on the files); or (d) remove the copyright notice from the guides.
Ownership. I own, or am licensed to use, all intellectual property in the kits, and I keep it. You get the licence in this section and nothing more.
Ending the licence. If you materially breach this section 16.3 and, where the breach can be put right, do not put it right within 14 days of my written notice, the licence ends. You must then stop using the kit and delete your copies of it. Documents you have already completed may be kept for your own records. The licence also ends if you get a refund for the kit (section 16.6).
16.4 Delivery.
You buy a kit through my Stripe payment link. I email the files to the email you gave at checkout, usually within a few hours of payment and no later than the end of the next working day. If at checkout you chose to wait 14 days (section 16.5), I send them on the 15th day after your order. The delivery email also confirms your order and your choice, and attaches these terms and my Refund Policy.
If a file does not arrive, will not open or is damaged, tell me and I will send a working copy without charge.
16.5 Consumers: your right to cancel, and when you lose it.
If you buy as a consumer, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 give you 14 days from the day of your order to cancel without giving a reason.
For digital content that is not supplied on a physical medium, that right is lost once supply begins if, before it begins, you have (a) expressly asked for supply to start within the 14 days and (b) acknowledged that you will lose your right to cancel. I ask for both at checkout as a separate choice. It is not hidden in these terms. I then confirm your choice on a durable medium, by email.
If you do not ask for supply now, or if I fail to send that confirmation, you keep the right to cancel for the full 14 days and you will owe nothing for files already supplied. If you cancel, delete the files.
To cancel, tell me clearly within the 14 days, for example by email to hello@savingsevidence.com. You may use the model form in my Refund Policy.
Business buyers have no statutory right to cancel, but they still get the not-useful refund in section 16.6.
16.6 Not useful? Full refund within 14 days. Whatever your status and whatever you chose at checkout, if you tell me within 14 days of delivery that a kit was not useful, I refund what you paid in full. No reason needed. One refund per organisation (or, for an individual buyer, per person) for each kit. A refund of the Bundle covers the whole Bundle. When I refund you, the licence ends, and you must delete your copies of the kit.
16.7 Faulty files. If you are a consumer, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says digital content must be of satisfactory quality, fit for any particular purpose you made known, and as described (sections 34 to 36). If it is not, you can ask for a repair or replacement and, if that is not possible or does not work, a price reduction or a refund (sections 42 to 45). If faulty content I supply damages your device or other digital content, and I failed to use reasonable care and skill, you may be entitled to a repair or compensation (section 46). These rights are not affected by anything in these terms. If you are a business buyer, I promise the files will open in the software listed in section 16.2 and match the product page. If they do not, I will replace them or, if I cannot, refund you.
16.8 Who sells to you. I sell kits to you directly, and you contract with me. Stripe only processes the payment. If I later sell kits through another platform, that platform's checkout will say who sells to you.
16.9 Liability. Section 9 applies to kits. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under section 16.5 or 16.7.
