Terms of Use
Assurance Map for Microsoft Teams · Effective 24 August 2026
These terms govern use of the Assurance Map application for Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 (the "App"), provided by Macon Apps, Investor Direction LLC ("Macon Apps", "we", "us"). By installing or using the App you agree to them on behalf of yourself and, where applicable, the organization whose Microsoft 365 environment you use it in ("Customer").
1. The service
The App lets a governance, risk or internal audit team maintain an assurance map: principal risks on one side, assurance activities on the other, organised by line of defence, with computed coverage, currency, reliance and duplication analysis and point-in-time snapshots. The included plan covers one map for a single team, up to five people and up to ten risks, with live coverage and currency analysis. Paid plans add unlimited risks and maps, cross-team aggregation, reliance and duplication analysis, historic analysis, snapshots and export. We may change the features of each plan with reasonable notice; we will not reduce what an active paid term already includes.
2. Accounts and access
Access is through your Microsoft work or school account. You are responsible for the people you add to a map's team and for keeping your Microsoft credentials secure.
3. Purchases and billing
Paid plans are sold and billed exclusively by Microsoft through the Microsoft commercial marketplace, under Microsoft's commercial marketplace terms, and appear on your Microsoft invoice. Seat counts, plan changes, renewals and cancellations are managed in the Microsoft 365 admin center. We do not process payments and do not hold payment details. Refunds follow Microsoft's marketplace refund policy; contact us if you believe you have been charged in error and we will work with Microsoft to resolve it.
4. Your content
Everything entered into the App belongs to the Customer. We claim no rights in it beyond what is needed to provide the service. You are responsible for what your people record and for not entering content you are not entitled to store. Record evidence as a reference or a link — do not paste report contents, payment card data, government identifiers, health records or similar regulated data into the App.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to attempt to access another organization's or team's data, circumvent plan limits, probe or overload the service, reverse engineer it, or use it in breach of applicable law or Microsoft's terms. We may suspend access that threatens the security or stability of the service, giving notice where practicable.
6. Availability and support
We aim for continuous availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Support is by email at the address below; we respond to paid customers within two business days. The App depends on Microsoft services (identity, licensing, commerce) that we do not control.
7. Data and privacy
Our handling of data is described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms. Paid plans include an export so that the Customer always holds its own copy of its records.
8. Warranties and liability
The App is provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all implied warranties, and our total liability arising from the App in any twelve-month period is limited to the amount the Customer paid for it in that period. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law. The App is a record-keeping and analysis aid; it does not provide audit, assurance or professional advice, and it does not replace the Customer's own professional judgment or its obligations under any applicable standard or regulation.
9. Termination
You may stop using the App at any time and cancel any subscription through Microsoft. We may terminate for material breach with notice. On termination, data is handled as set out in the Privacy Policy's retention section.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms by posting a new version at this address with a new effective date. Continued use after the effective date is acceptance of the updated terms.
11. General
These terms are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App and are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If any provision is unenforceable the remainder stays in effect. Neither party is liable for delay caused by events outside its reasonable control.
