2. Agreement to these terms

By accessing or using the Site and any related services, dashboards, APIs, or content (together, the "Service"), you agree to these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

If you are using the Service on behalf of a company, you confirm you have authority to bind that company, and "you" will mean that company.

3. Other applicable terms

These Terms apply together with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. If you buy a paid plan, the Order or Subscription Terms also apply. If there is a conflict, the Order or Subscription Terms will prevail for paid features.

4. Access and availability

We aim to keep the Service available and accurate, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted, error‑free or always up‑to‑date operation. We may suspend, restrict or change all or part of the Service without notice for maintenance, security, or business reasons.

5. Accounts and security

  • You must keep your login details confidential and secure.
  • You are responsible for activity under your account.
  • Tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.
  • We may require multi‑factor authentication.

6. Permitted use

You may use the Service for your internal business purposes, subject to these Terms and any plan limits. For any API or data exports, you must follow our documentation and rate limits.

7. Prohibited use

You must not:

  • Copy, scrape, crawl, harvest or mine any part of the Service or its data, including for training AI models, without our prior written consent.
  • Conduct text and data mining (TDM) or similar automated analysis on our content or database for any purpose. We reserve all rights and expressly object to TDM under section 29A CDPA 1988 and equivalent laws.
  • Circumvent access controls, security, or rate limits; interfere with the Service; test or scan for vulnerabilities.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble software, except where allowed by law and only after giving us prior notice.
  • Use the Service to send spam, conduct illegal activity, or infringe the rights of others.
  • Use another person's account or share your credentials, except for permitted admin roles.

8. Intellectual property and database rights

The Service and all content on it, including the PowerMapped database, text, graphics, rankings, scores, software, and trade marks, are protected by copyright, database right, and other intellectual property rights. We grant you a limited, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable licence to access and use the Service in line with these Terms and your plan. No other rights are granted.

You may not reproduce, republish, or redistribute our content or database, in whole or in part, except as allowed by your plan, a separate written licence, or as permitted by law.

9. Third‑party services and content

The Service may link to or use third‑party websites, data sources, or services. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, availability, or policies. Your use of third‑party services may be subject to their terms.

10. The PowerMapped database and rankings

Our profiles, indicators and scores are compiled from public and licensed sources and may include reasoned assessments. They are informational and are not advice (investment, legal, political, or otherwise). We aim for accuracy but cannot promise that profiles or scores are complete, current, or free from error. Use your own judgement.

Right to request review: If you are profiled and believe information is inaccurate or unfair, contact us at legal@powermapped.com. See also your rights in our Privacy Policy.

11. Your content and feedback

If you upload, submit, or share content with the Service (e.g. lists, notes, photos, comments), you grant us a worldwide, non‑exclusive licence to host, use, display, and process that content as needed to provide and improve the Service. You confirm you have all rights required and that your content does not infringe law or third‑party rights.

If you send feedback or suggestions, we may use them without obligation to you.

12. Subscriptions, trials, and fees

If you purchase a paid plan:

  • Fees, billing periods, and limits are set out in your Order page.
  • Plans renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date.
  • We may change prices on renewal with prior notice.
  • Taxes may apply in addition to the listed price.
  • Refunds are given only where required by law or stated in the Order.

13. Data protection

We handle personal data as described in our Privacy Policy. For customer‑supplied data where we act as processor, our Data Processing Agreement (DPA) applies if agreed.

14. Security

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures. You are responsible for securing your devices, networks, and access credentials.

15. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or close your account if you breach these Terms, cause security or legal risk, or fail to pay fees. You may close your account at any time. After termination, your right to access the Service ends, but clauses that by their nature should survive will continue (e.g. IP, confidentiality, limits of liability).

16. Disclaimers

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all warranties, representations, and conditions, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non‑infringement.

17. Liability

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability to you (whether in contract, tort—including negligence—statutory duty or otherwise) for any loss, damage, costs or expenses of any kind, whether direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential, arising out of or in connection with your access to or use of the Service, these Terms or their subject matter. You access and use the Service at your own risk.

18. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against claims, losses, and costs arising from your breach of these Terms or misuse of the Service.

19. Force majeure

We are not responsible for failure or delay caused by events outside our reasonable control.

20. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post changes on this page and, if the change is significant, we will give notice by email or in‑product. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the new Terms.

21. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute or claim (including non‑contractual disputes) are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction.
