Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between CompanySearch ("we," "us," or "our") and the entity or individual ("Customer," "you," or "your") accessing or using our platform and services (collectively, the "Services").

By accessing the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity and its affiliates to these Terms.

1. The Services

1.1 Access and Use

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Services for your internal business purposes.

1.2 Beta Services

From time to time, we may invite you to try "Beta" or "Early Access" features at no charge. You acknowledge that Beta Services are intended for evaluation purposes, may contain bugs, and are provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind. We may discontinue Beta Services at any time in our sole discretion.

1.3 Service Availability

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available 24/7, excluding planned downtime. We do not guarantee that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free.

2. Data and Ownership

"Customer Data" means any data, content, or documents that you upload, submit, or otherwise transmit to the Services. You retain all rights and ownership in your Customer Data. You grant CompanySearch a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, copy, and use your Customer Data solely as necessary to provide the Services to you (e.g., to generate reports or store documents).

2.2 Usage Data

CompanySearch owns all right, title, and interest in "Usage Data" (aggregated, anonymized data regarding how the Services are used). We use this data to analyze trends, detect security anomalies, and improve our platform.

2.3 Third-Party Registry Data

A core function of our Service is retrieving data from third-party government registries ("Registry Data"). You acknowledge that Registry Data is not created by us. We provide this data "as is" and make no warranties regarding its accuracy, completeness, or timeliness.
