Trust & guarantees
Consulting-grade preparation — without the consulting-grade risk
A global-firm ISO 42001 engagement runs $37.5k–85k. Govern42 gives you the same artefacts and guidance for a subscription. The obvious question is: why should I trust a subscription with something this important — and what stops you taking my money and disappearing? Here's the honest answer, mechanism by mechanism.
You see the quality before you pay
The readiness assessment, the AI Act obligations finder, the coverage map and a full document preview are free — no card, no email required to get a real result. You judge the depth first; you only pay once you've seen it's worth it. That's the real trust ladder: value first, money second.
14-day money-back guarantee
If your first Pro payment doesn't deliver clear value, email us within 14 days and we refund that charge in full. The first step is reversible by design — see the Refund Policy.
Monthly, cancel anytime — no lock-in
Pro is month-to-month. Cancel in one click and you keep access to the end of the period you paid for. No annual contract required, no cancellation maze. Low commitment is how we keep earning your business every month.
A licensed merchant of record handles your payment
Checkout is processed by an established merchant of record (LemonSqueezy) — a licensed company that acts as seller of record, handles tax and receipts, and holds the card data. Govern42 never sees or stores your card. Your payment protection runs through a regulated processor, not our word.
Honest scope — we never oversell
We prepare you to be audit-ready; the ISO 42001 certificate is issued only by an accredited body after an independent audit, and AI Act compliance remains your legal responsibility. We say this everywhere, because a promise we can't keep is the fastest way to lose trust.
Your assessment data stays with you
The readiness assessment and obligations finder run entirely in your browser — your answers are never sent to us. We store only the email you give us, only to deliver what you asked for. See the Privacy Policy.
The exchange, plainly
You pay a subscription. In return you get the thing that used to require a five-figure consulting engagement: a path to ISO 42001 audit-readiness and a defensible EU AI Act posture — as work you own, not a dependency you rent forever.
| What you'd normally do | Cost | With Govern42 |
|---|---|---|
| Global-firm ISO 42001 engagement | $37.5k–85k first year | A subscription |

Consulting-grade service at a fraction of the cost is not a discount — it's a different delivery model: software does the heavy lifting, so the price reflects software, not billable hours.
