These terms of service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and DCL (Data Compass Labz) ("DCL", "we", "us") and govern your access to and use of datacompasslabz.com and its content (the "Site"). By accessing, browsing or otherwise using the Site you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which are incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, you must not use the Site. If you use the Site on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you are authorised to accept these Terms on its behalf.
The Site is intended for business and professional users aged 18 or over. By using the Site you confirm that you are at least 18 and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. The Site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly permit their use of it.
You may use the Site for lawful purposes only. You agree not to: attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Site, its servers or connected systems; interfere with, disrupt or overload the Site or its infrastructure; scrape, harvest or systematically extract content at scale; submit false, misleading or fraudulent information through any form; introduce malware, viruses or any harmful code; or use the Site to transmit unlawful, infringing or harmful material. We reserve the right to monitor use, and to restrict, suspend or terminate access that breaches these Terms, without notice where necessary to protect the Site or other users.
The Site does not currently require an account for general browsing. Where any credential, form token or access link is provided to you, you are responsible for keeping it confidential and for all activity under it. You must notify us promptly at legal@datacompasslabz.com if you suspect any unauthorised use. We are not liable for loss arising from your failure to safeguard such credentials.
All content on the Site — including text, graphics, logos, icons, images, layout and code — is owned by DCL or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual-property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and view the Site for your own internal, non-commercial reference. You may not reproduce, republish, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit any content without our prior written permission. The DCL name and logo are our trademarks and may not be used without consent.
If you submit any information, enquiry or material through the Site (for example via a contact form), you confirm that it is accurate, that you have the right to provide it, and that it does not infringe any third-party right or any law. You grant us a limited licence to use such submissions solely to respond to you and provide the service requested. We are not obliged to treat submissions as confidential except as required by our Privacy Policy or applicable law. Do not submit sensitive personal data through general forms.
The Site describes services offered by DCL, but it is not itself an offer to contract. Any engagement for consulting, development or other services is governed exclusively by a separate written agreement (a statement of work or contract) signed by both parties. In the event of conflict between these Terms and such an agreement, the signed agreement prevails for that engagement. Descriptions, timelines, statistics and case examples on the Site are illustrative and do not form part of any contract unless expressly stated in a signed agreement.
Content on the Site is provided for general information only and does not constitute professional, legal, technical, financial or regulatory advice. You should not act or refrain from acting on the basis of Site content without obtaining advice specific to your circumstances. Any statistics, benchmarks, case examples or figures are illustrative and may not reflect your situation. To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim responsibility for decisions made in reliance on general Site content.
The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services that we do not own or control. We provide these for convenience only and are not responsible for their content, availability, accuracy or privacy practices. A link does not imply endorsement. Following any third-party link is at your own risk, and the terms and policies of that third party govern your use of it.
We aim to keep the Site available but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the Site at any time, with or without notice, and may impose limits on certain features. We are not liable to you for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Site.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Site and all content 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, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will meet your requirements, be secure, or be free of viruses or errors. Nothing in this section limits warranties that cannot be excluded under mandatory applicable law.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, DCL and its officers, employees and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Site — even if advised of the possibility. Our total aggregate liability arising from the Site is limited to one hundred euros (€100), except where a signed services agreement provides otherwise for that engagement. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless DCL and its officers, employees and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Site, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Germany, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The courts of Berlin have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these Terms or the Site, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer-protection rights you may have in your country of residence. Before commencing proceedings, we encourage you to contact us at legal@datacompasslabz.com so we can try to resolve the matter informally.
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full effect. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of it. These Terms, with the Privacy and Cookie Policies and any signed agreement, are the entire agreement between us regarding the Site. We may update these Terms from time to time; the version published here is the one in force, and continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
