Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the ActiScale website and the services offered through it (together, the "Services"), provided by [ActiScale legal entity] ("ActiScale", "we", "us"). Specific products — such as data licences and collector participation — are governed by additional agreements that supplement these Terms.

1. Acceptance of these terms

By accessing the site or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

2. Use of the site

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the site for its intended purpose. The site and its content are provided for information and to let you request or manage the Services. We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the site at any time.

3. Accounts

Some features require an account. You agree to provide accurate information, keep your credentials confidential, and remain responsible for activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these Terms or create risk for the Services or other users.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Services for any unlawful, infringing or fraudulent purpose.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems, accounts or data.
• Interfere with, disrupt or place undue load on the Services.
• Scrape, reverse engineer, or circumvent security or access controls, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law.
• Misrepresent your identity or your authority to act for an organization.

5. Intellectual property

The site, its software, text, graphics, logos and design are owned by ActiScale or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited rights stated here, no rights are granted to you. "ActiScale" and related marks may not be used without our prior written permission. Rights in data products are governed separately by the applicable Data Licence Terms.

6. Third-party services

The Services may rely on or link to third-party providers, including payment, identity verification and hosting services. Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms. We are not responsible for third-party services we do not control.

7. Disclaimers

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ActiScale and its affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of the Services. Our aggregate liability for any claim will be limited to the amount you paid to us for the relevant Services in the twelve months before the claim, or, where no amount was paid, to a sum to be finalized on legal review. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

9. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold ActiScale harmless from claims, losses and expenses arising out of your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Services, to the extent permitted by law.

10. Changes to the terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where changes are material, provide reasonable notice. Continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [jurisdiction], without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The courts of [jurisdiction] will have jurisdiction over disputes, unless otherwise required by mandatory law. The governing law, venue and any dispute-resolution mechanism are subject to legal review.

12. Contact

Questions about these Terms may be sent to [legal contact email] or by post to [ActiScale legal entity], [registered address].
