1.1 Contract
When you use our Services you agree to all of these terms. Our other policies, which govern how we collect, use, share, and store your personal information, apply to your use of our Services as well. By accepting to this policy, you also agree to abide by the additional documents and all other documents on the Legal page that apply to you.

You agree that by clicking “Join Now,” “Join Catalogg,” “Sign Up,” or a similar button, registering, accessing, or using our services (described below), you are entering into a legally binding contract with GBSN RESEARCH (even if you are using our Services on behalf of a company). If you do not agree to this contract (“Contract” or “User Agreement”), do not click “Join Now” (or anything similar) and do not access or use any of our Services. If you choose to cancel this contract, you may do so at any time by closing your account and ceasing to access or use our Services.

Services
This Contract applies to Catalogg.co, Catalogg-branded apps, and Catalogg-related sites, apps, communications, and other services that state that they are offered under this Contract (“Services”), including offsite data collection for those Services, such as our ads, API, and sharing plugins or functionalities. Registered users of our Services are referred to as “Members,” while unregistered users are referred to as “Visitors.”

GBSN RESEARCH
This Contract is made between you and GBSN RESEARCH (also referred to as “we” or “us”). GBSN RESEARCH shall be the controller of any personal data you submit to, collect for, or process in connection with our Services.

This Contract is applicable to both Members and Visitors.

As a Visitor or Member of our Services, the collection, use, and sharing of your personal data is governed by this Privacy Policy (including our Cookie Policy and other documents referred to in this Privacy Policy) and its updates.

1.2 Members and Visitors
You become a Member when you register and join the Catalogg Services. If you do not wish to register for our Services, you may still use certain features as a “Visitor.”

1.3 Change
We may make changes to the Contract.

We reserve the right to change this Contract, our Privacy Policy, and our Cookies Policy at any time. If we make substantial changes to it, we will notify you via our Services or another means so that you can evaluate the changes before they become effective. We all agree that modifications cannot be implemented retroactively. If you do not agree with any of the changes, you may close your account. If you continue to use our Services after we publish or send a notice regarding changes to these terms, you agree to the new terms as of their effective date.

2. Obligations
2.1 Service Eligibility
Here are some promises that you make to us in this Contract:

You’re eligible to enter into this Contract and you are at least our “Minimum Age.”

The Services are not for use by anyone under the age of 18.

To use the Services, you agree that: (1) you must be the “Minimum Age” (detailed below) or older; (2) you will only have one GBSN RESEARCH account in your real name; and (3) you are not currently barred from accessing the Services by GBSN Research. Creating an account using false information is a violation of our rules, and this includes accounts created on behalf of others or minors under the age of 16.

“Minimum Age” refers to the age of 18 years. However, if the law requires you to be older in order for GBSN RESEARCH to lawfully provide the Services to you without parental consent (including the use of your personal data), the Minimum Age is that older age.

2.2 Your Account
You will keep your password a secret.

You will not share an account with anyone else and will follow our rules and the law.

Account holders are members. You agree to: (1) use a strong password and keep it confidential; (2) not transfer any part of your account (e.g., connections); and (3) abide by the law and our Dos and Don’ts. Unless you close your account or report misuse, you are liable for everything that occurs through it.

Your account belongs to you and no one else (including your employer). If the Services were purchased for you by another party, the party paying for such Service has the right to manage access to and get reports on your usage of such paid Service; nevertheless, they do not have access to your personal account.

2.3 Payment
You will meet your payment obligations, and you agree to us storing your payment information. You understand that fees and taxes may be applied to our prices.

Our refund policy applies to all refunds.

If you purchase any of our premium Services (“Premium Services”), you agree to pay us the applicable fees and taxes, as well as any additional terms that apply to the paid Services. If you do not pay these fees, your paid Services will be terminated. You also agree that:

Foreign currency fees or pricing variations based on region may apply to your transaction (e.g. exchange rates).
We may store and bill your payment method (e.g., credit card) even after it has expired in order to avoid disruptions in your Services and to pay for additional Services you may purchase.
If you buy a subscription, your payment method will be charged at the start of each subscription month for the fees and taxes that apply to that time. Cancel before the renewal date to prevent further costs. Learn how to pause or terminate your Premium Services.
Catalogg’s return policy applies to all of your Service purchases.
Based on the billing information you supply us at the time of purchase, we may calculate taxes payable by you.
You may obtain a copy of your invoice from the billing area of your Catalogg account.

2.4 Notices and Messages
You agree to us sending you notifications and messages via our websites, applications, and contact information. You may miss crucial messages if your contact information is out of current.

You agree that we may send you notifications and messages in the following ways: (1) through the Service, or (2) using the contact information you supplied us (e.g., email, mobile number, physical address). You agree to update your contact information on a regular basis.

Please check your settings to manage and restrict the number of communications you receive from us.

2.5 Sharing
We are not required to publish any information or content on our Service, and we reserve the right to remove it with or without notice.

Our Services enable messaging and information sharing in a variety of ways, including your profile, projects, polls, connections to data, public replies, and messages. Other Members, Visitors, and others may view the information and content that you share or post (including from the Services). We will respect your choices about who can see material or information where we have made settings available (e.g., message content to your addressees, sharing content only to Catalogg connections, restricting your profile visibility from search engines, or opting not to notify others of your Catalogg profile update)

Key terms
3. Rights and Limits
3.1. Your License to GBSN RESEARCH
You retain ownership of all content, feedback, and personal information you provide to us, but you grant us a non-exclusive license to use it.

We will honor the choices you make about who sees your information and content, including how it can be used for advertising.

You own the content and information that you submit or upload to the Catalogg website and Services, and by doing so, you are only granting GBSN RESEARCH and our affiliates the following non-exclusive license:

A global, transferable, and sublicensable right to use, copy, alter, distribute, publish, and process information and content provided by you through our Services and the services of others, without further consent, notice, or compensation to you or others. These rights are limited in the following ways:

You may terminate this license for specific content by deleting it from the Services or closing your account, except (a) if you shared it with others as part of the Service and they duplicated, re-shared, or stored it, and (b) for the reasonable time it takes to remove it from backup and other systems.
Without your explicit permission, we will use your content in ads for Catalogg’s products and services to third parties (including sponsored content). We also have the right to serve ads near your content and information without compensation to you or others, and your social actions may be visible and incorporated with ads, as stated in the Privacy Policy. If you use a Service feature, we may mention that with your name or photo to promote that feature within our Services, subject to your settings.
We will get your consent if we want to give others the right to publish your content beyond the Services. If you choose to share your information as public, we will enable a feature that allows other Members to embed that public post onto third-party services, and we enable search engines to make that public content findable though their services. If you use a Service feature, we may use your name or photo to promote that feature within our Services, depending on your preferences.
If we want to provide others the right to publish your content outside of the Services, we will get your consent first. If you want to make your information public, we will enable a feature that allows other Members to embed that public post on third-party services, as well as search engines to make that public content searchable through their services.
While we may edit and format your content (for example, by translating or transcribing it, changing the size, layout, or file type, or removing metadata), we will not affect the meaning of your expression.
Because you own your content and information and we only have non-exclusive rights to it, you are free to share it with others, including under the terms of a Creative Commons license.
You and GBSN RESEARCH agree that if the content contains private information, it is subject to our Privacy Policy.

You and GBSN RESEARCH agree that we may access, store, process, and utilize any information and personal data you submit in accordance with the terms of the Privacy Policy and your preferences (including settings).

By submitting suggestions or other feedback about our Services to Catalogg, you accept that GBSN RESEARCH may use and share such input for any reason (but is not required to do so) without compensation to you.

You guarantee that you will only provide information and content that you have the legal right to share, and that your Catalogg profile will be truthful.

You agree to provide only content or information that does not infringe the law or the rights of others (including intellectual property rights). You also agree that the information on your profile will be accurate. In some countries, GBSN RESEARCH may be compelled by law to delete certain information or content.

3.2 Service Availability
We reserve the right to change or discontinue any Service at any time, as well as to adjust our rates in the future.

We have the right to change, suspend, or discontinue any of our Services. To the extent permitted by law, we may also change our rates prospectively with fair notice.

We make no promises to save or continue to display any information or material that you’ve posted. Catalogg is a search engine, not a storage service. Except as required by applicable law and as indicated in our Privacy Policy, you agree that we have no responsibility to store, maintain, or provide you with a copy of any content or information that you or others submit.

3.3 Other Content, Sites and Apps
You use the content and information submitted by users on our Services at your own risk.

Others may provide their own products and services through our Services, and we are not liable for their actions.

In general, GBSN RESEARCH does not review content supplied by our Members or others. You agree that we are not responsible for the content or information of others (including other Members). We cannot always prevent this use of our Services, and you agree that we are not liable for any such exploitation. You also acknowledge the possibility that you or your organization will be erroneously linked with content about others when we or third-parties learn that you or your organization has released new information.

GBSN RESEARCH may help connect Members who supply services (data sellers) with Members who are looking for services (data buyers). GBSN RESEARCH does not provide these services and has no plans to do so in the future. You must be at least 18 years old to offer, perform, or get these services.

If you are a Member who provides services, you represent and warrant that you have all necessary licenses and will deliver services in accordance with our Professional Community Policies.

4.3 Basis of the Bargain; Exclusions
The limitations of liability set forth in this Section 4 are part of the bargain between you and GBSN RESEARCH and shall apply to all claims of liability (e.g., warranty, tort, negligence, contract, and law), even if GBSN RESEARCH or its affiliates has been advised of the possibility of such damage, and even if these remedies fail their essential purpose.

These limitations of liability do not apply to liability for death or personal injury, or for fraud, gross negligence, or intentional misconduct, or in cases of negligence where a material obligation has been breached, a material obligation being one on which you may reasonably rely, but only to the extent that the damages were directly caused by the breach and were foreseeable at the time this Contract was signed.

5. Termination
We can both terminate this Contract, but some rights and responsibilities remain.

Both you and GBSN RESEARCH may terminate this Contract at any time by providing the other with written notice. You will no longer be able to access or use the Services after the agreement is terminated. The following provisions will survive termination:

This section does not deprive you of any mandatory consumer protections under the law of the country where you have your permanent residence, where we direct Services to you.

7. General Terms
Here are some important details about the Contract.

If a court having jurisdiction over this Contract rules that any portion of it is unenforceable, you and we agree that the court should amend the terms to make that part enforceable while still carrying out the Contract’s intent. If the court is unable to do so, you and we agree to seek the court to strike that unenforceable provision while continuing enforcing the remainder of this Contract.

This Contract (including any additional terms given by us when you use a feature of the Services) is the exclusive agreement between us about the Services and supersedes all earlier agreements for the Services.

If we do not take action to enforce a breach of this Contract, it does not indicate that GBSN RESEARCH has relinquished its right to do so. Without our consent, you may not assign or transfer this Contract (or your membership or use of the Services). You acknowledge, however, that GBSN RESEARCH may assign this Contract without your consent to its affiliates or a party that purchases it. This Contract has no third-party beneficiaries.
