Terms of Service

1. Use of Service

Red Tape Index provides regulatory intelligence data and analytics. The data is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, financial, tax, or investment advice. You are solely responsible for any decisions you make based on information obtained through the Services.

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal authority to enter into these Terms on behalf of yourself or the organization you represent. By using the Services, you represent that you meet these requirements.

2. Intellectual Property

All content, data, reports, rankings, scores, methodologies, trademarks, and materials available through the Services are owned by Labrynth or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any ownership rights in the Services or their content.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your own internal, non-commercial informational purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, publicly display, create derivative works from, or otherwise exploit any portion of the Services without our prior written permission.

3. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to, and will not permit others to:

• Use the Services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable regulation;
• Scrape, crawl, spider, harvest, or otherwise collect data from the Services through automated means, bots, scripts, or any technology not provided or authorized by us;
• Systematically download or cache the Services' content for bulk redistribution, resale, or use in a competing product or service;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Services or its underlying infrastructure;
• Introduce malware, viruses, or other harmful code into the Services;
• Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity;
• Use the Services in a way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair them, or interfere with any other party's use of the Services;
• Remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices on the Services or its content.

4. Data Accuracy

While we strive for accuracy, we make no warranties — express or implied — about the completeness, reliability, timeliness, or fitness for a particular purpose of the data and content available through the Services. Rankings and scores are based on available data and our proprietary methodology, which may change over time. You should independently verify any information before relying on it.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Labrynth and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, and licensors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your access to or use of (or inability to use) the Services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total cumulative liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall not exceed one hundred US dollars (USD $100) or the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, whichever is greater.

7. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms. You may stop using the Services at any time. Upon termination, all licenses and rights granted to you under these Terms will immediately cease. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including sections on intellectual property, limitation of liability, disclaimer of warranties, and governing law — will survive.

8. Modifications to the Services and Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time without notice or liability. We may also update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Services after any changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Services.

9. Dispute Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute, you agree to contact us at the address below and give us a reasonable opportunity (at least 30 days) to resolve the issue informally. If we are unable to resolve the dispute informally, both parties agree to submit to binding arbitration administered under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, conducted in English, on an individual basis. You waive any right to participate in a class-action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.

10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. To the extent any claim must be adjudicated in court, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware.

11. Third-Party Links and Services

The Services may contain links to third-party websites or integrate with third-party tools. We do not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for any third-party content, products, or services. Your use of third-party offerings is governed by their own terms and policies.

12. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Labrynth regarding the Services and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and communications, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter herein.
