The OJL Money-Back Guarantee

Audit defence, guaranteed.

If we take on your Oracle Java audit and cannot reduce the claim, we refund our fees. Here is exactly what that means.

Not an Oracle partner or reseller
100% buyer-side advisory
Money-back audit defence guarantee
340+ Java engagements

If we cannot reduce Oracle's Java audit claim, you do not pay us.

Engage us for Oracle Java audit defence and, should we fail to reduce the amount Oracle is claiming, we refund 100% of our professional fees — with no caveats buried in the contract.

How it works

Four steps, one promise.

1

Scope and agree

We review your Oracle audit letter or LMS request and agree the engagement scope in writing — including the guarantee terms — before any work begins.

2

Build the defence

We validate Oracle's data, challenge over-counting, apply the correct license interpretation across BCL, OTN, NFTC, and subscription, and assemble your position.

3

Negotiate the claim down

We engage Oracle directly. Across 340+ engagements our average claim reduction is 68% — and our largest single reduction was 93%.

4

Reduce it — or refund

If the final settled claim is not lower than Oracle's documented opening position, we refund 100% of our fees. That is the guarantee.

What is covered

The guarantee applies to Oracle Java audit defence.

Covered

Formal Oracle LMS audits

A formal Oracle License Management Services (or GLAS) audit of your Java SE usage — including data collection, claim review, and settlement negotiation.

Covered

Soft audits & review letters

Oracle "soft audit" emails and Java review letters — the informal approaches designed to extract a quick, unadvised purchase.

Our track record

68% average

claim reduction across 340+ Oracle Java engagements.

Largest single reduction

A $4.8M Oracle Java claim settled at $340K.

Why we can promise this

We only guarantee work we know we can do.

Oracle Java audit claims are very often inflated. They lean on broad license interpretations, count instances that were never in scope, and apply the employee metric where it does not belong.

Our team includes former Oracle audit and LMS practitioners who know precisely how those claims are built — and where they fall apart. That is why we can put a money-back guarantee behind our audit defence work: in the overwhelming majority of cases, there is room to reduce the claim.

We will also tell you honestly, before you engage us, if we believe your situation is one of the rare exceptions.

The fine print

Straightforward terms, no surprises.

What the guarantee covers

The guarantee applies to our professional fees for an agreed Oracle Java audit defence engagement. If the claim is not reduced below Oracle's documented opening position, those fees are refunded in full.

What it does not cover

It does not cover the amount ultimately owed to Oracle, third-party costs, or legal fees. It assumes you provide accurate environment data and follow the agreed defence strategy — we cannot guarantee an outcome if Oracle is given conflicting information directly.

Confirmed in writing

Exact terms are set out in your engagement letter before work begins. Nothing about the guarantee is hidden — if a term would affect your decision, we put it in front of you first.
