2026-04-26 - Commercial Operator Declaration

AI Accounting Loop is a commercial software business

Effective 2026-04-26, all public surfaces of AI Accounting Loop operate under a commercial software and services platform identity. This platform is not positioned as a foundation project, a donation-backed software lane, or a public-benefit wrapper. The foundation/public-benefit entity, if any, is completely separate and is not the public operator for SaaS subscriptions, enterprise contracts, recurring billing, or commercial API usage.

Page overview

Global Commercial Lane

aiaccountingloop.com - operated by Global Commercial Operating Entity. Subscriptions, API billing, enterprise contracts, implementation fees, annual plans. Merchant of record: Global Commercial OpCo.

Vietnam Commercial Lane

vn.aiaccountingloop.com - planned to be operated by the same commercial entity. Payment methods for Vietnam will be announced when available. Local onboarding and consulting/compliance services follow the same commercial governance. Not a donation or public-benefit lane.

Foundation / Public-Benefit Lane

Completely separate. Allowed: scholarship, training support, public-benefit support, community assistance, grants and donations. Not allowed as public wrapper for AIL SaaS, commercial checkout, subscriptions, or enterprise contracts.

Source discipline

No Vietnam legal statement publishes here without an official-source path and governed wording.

7-Day Implementation Plan

Legal and commercial posture changes - 2026-04-26 to 2026-05-03

  1. Day 1 (2026-04-26): Fix public legal wording - remove foundation/public-benefit confusion, add commercial operator declaration, separate global vs Vietnam lanes in all wording.
  2. Day 2: Create legal lane map - global commercial, Vietnam commercial, support/contact lane, invoice lane, data controller/processor responsibilities.
  3. Day 3: Create payment lane map - self-serve lanes deferred until merchant readiness; enterprise invoice (always) available on request.
  4. Day 4: Revise pricing architecture - Starter, Growth, Enterprise, Implementation add-ons, separate "contact sales" from self-serve.
  5. Day 5: Revise site narrative - country-ready, human-reviewed, audit-aware, compliance-aware. Do not overclaim automation or legal status.
  6. Day 6: Prepare billing operations - refund policy, billing contact route, invoice requests, manual enterprise payment intake, local VND onboarding support.
  7. Day 7: Procurement readiness check - operator clear, terms clear, privacy clear, payment lane clear, invoice route clear, support route clear, no foundation confusion remaining.
