Terms of Use
7A. Website Terms of Use — V2
WEBSITE TERMS OF USE
Effective date: [Date]
These Website Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the website located at [domain] and any associated public webpages, content, downloads, forms, research materials, benchmark summaries, and related online materials (together, the “Website”).
The Website is operated by:
Azimut SRL
Registered office: [Address]
Registration number: [●]
Tax/VAT number: [●]
Email: [contact email]
Phone: [●]
By using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Website.
1. Purpose of the Website
The Website provides information about:
frameworks and methodologies,
research and benchmark/index activities,
software/platform offerings,
consulting and governance services,
publications, insights, and related materials.
The Website is intended primarily for professional and business audiences.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, nothing on the Website constitutes legal, tax, employment, medical, psychological, investment, or other regulated professional advice.
2. Changes to the Website and these Terms
We may update, modify, suspend, or withdraw all or part of the Website at any time for business, operational, legal, or security reasons.
We may also update these Terms from time to time. The version published on the Website at the time of your use applies.
3. Permitted Use
You may use the Website only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.
You may:
browse the Website,
read and download publicly available materials for lawful internal use,
contact us through forms or contact details provided,
share links to public Website pages lawfully.
You may not:
use the Website in violation of applicable law;
access non-public areas without authorization;
interfere with the Website’s operation, integrity, or security;
upload malicious code or conduct unauthorized probing or testing;
systematically scrape, copy, mirror, harvest, or extract Website content or structure at scale without our prior written consent;
use bots, crawlers, AI agents, or automation to collect Website content for competitive, training, extraction, or resale purposes beyond lawful and publicly permitted indexing;
reproduce, republish, sell, sublicense, or commercially exploit Website content except as expressly permitted.
Because your public site may contain framework, benchmark, and methodology materials, I would keep the anti-extraction language explicit rather than relying only on generic copyright language. That is a commercial drafting recommendation, not a claim that contract language alone can stop all scraping.
4. Intellectual Property
The Website and its content, including text, layout, branding, graphics, logos, questionnaires, benchmark descriptions, charts, publications, reports, downloads, visuals, software-related materials, and other content, are owned by or licensed to us and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
Except for the limited right to use the Website in accordance with these Terms, no right, title, or interest in the Website or its content is transferred to you.
You may not copy, adapt, distribute, reproduce, create derivative works from, publicly display, publicly communicate, commercially exploit, or otherwise use Website content except:
as permitted by mandatory law, or
with our prior written consent.
Any trademarks, logos, product names, and framework names displayed on the Website are owned by us or their respective owners. Nothing in these Terms grants you any license to use them without prior written permission.
The EU e-commerce framework still requires basic provider information and transparency for online services, and those obligations are one reason public website legal terms should not be completely bare-bones. (eur-lex.europa.eu)
5. Restricted Competitive and Extraction Use
Without our prior written consent, you may not use the Website or its content to:
build, support, or market a competing framework, benchmark, diagnostic, software product, consultancy method, or training product;
reconstruct our question structures, scoring systems, benchmark taxonomy, report logic, or methodology architecture;
feed Website content into external AI systems, training datasets, extraction pipelines, or automated research systems for competitive or commercial reuse;
collect public benchmark or research content in a way designed to recreate our database, taxonomy, or framework structure.
This clause is particularly useful for your model because your public thought-leadership layer may itself contain commercially valuable structure.
6. User Submissions
If you submit information through the Website, including through contact forms, application forms, demo requests, newsletter forms, or feedback forms:
you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and lawful to share;
you grant us the right to use that information to respond to your request, manage our relationship with you, and for related legitimate business purposes, subject to our Privacy Notice;
you must not submit unlawful, infringing, malicious, or unauthorized third-party information.
7. Privacy and Cookies
Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Notice and, where applicable, our Cookie Notice.
If you provide personal data through the Website, we will process it in accordance with those notices and applicable law. GDPR transparency rules require organizations to inform individuals clearly about the identity of the organization, purposes, legal basis, recipients, retention, transfers, and rights. (European Commission)
8. No Reliance; Informational Content
The Website is provided for general informational purposes only.
Although we aim to keep the Website useful and reasonably current, we do not warrant that:
the Website is complete, accurate, or up to date at all times;
any specific benchmark, methodology, or insight is suitable for your situation;
any stated outcome, diagnosis, or result will apply to your organization.
Use of Website content is at your own risk.
9. Third-Party Links and Resources
The Website may contain links to third-party websites, publications, tools, or services.
We provide such links for convenience only. Unless expressly stated otherwise, we do not control or endorse third-party content and are not responsible for its availability, content, or practices.
10. Availability and Security
We do not guarantee that the Website will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
We may suspend, withdraw, or restrict access to all or part of the Website at any time for maintenance, security, legal, or operational reasons.
You must not attempt to bypass or undermine any security or access restrictions on the Website.
11. Liability Limitation
To the fullest extent permitted by law:
the Website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis;
we exclude all warranties, representations, and conditions not expressly stated in these Terms;
we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Website.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
For the final local-law version, your Romanian lawyer should calibrate this clause against mandatory-law limits.
12. Suspension and Enforcement
We may suspend or block access to all or part of the Website if we reasonably believe:
you have breached these Terms,
your use creates legal, security, or operational risk,
or suspension is necessary to protect us, our users, our clients, or third parties.
13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of Romania.
The competent courts of [Cluj-Napoca, Romania] shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except that we may seek interim, injunctive, or protective relief in any competent jurisdiction.

7B. App Terms of Use — V2
APP TERMS OF USE
Effective date: [Date]
These App Terms of Use (“App Terms”) govern access to and use of the [platform/app name] platform, including any related websites, dashboards, portals, workflows, APIs, reports, modules, and associated software and services (the “Platform”).
The Platform is operated by:
Azimut SRL
Registered office: [Address]
Registration number: [●]
Tax/VAT number: [●]
Email: [support/legal email]
By clicking to accept, signing an order form, using the Platform, or allowing users within your organization to use the Platform, you agree to these App Terms.
1. Contract Structure
If you use the Platform under a separate signed agreement with us, such as an MSA, Subscription Agreement, Order Form, Statement of Work, or Enterprise Agreement (the “Commercial Agreement”), that Commercial Agreement governs the commercial relationship.
If there is a conflict between:
the Commercial Agreement,
an Order Form or SOW,
a DPA,
these App Terms,
they apply in that order unless expressly stated otherwise.
This is important because your enterprise rights and obligations should sit mainly in negotiated contract documents, not only in click terms.
2. Eligibility and Authorized Users
The Platform is intended for professional and business use.
You may use the Platform only if:
you are acting on behalf of a business, organization, or other authorized entity, or
you are otherwise expressly authorized by us.
If you accept these App Terms on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.
Your organization is responsible for use of the Platform by its employees, contractors, consultants, administrators, and other authorized users (“Authorized Users”).
3. Access Rights
Subject to these App Terms and any Commercial Agreement, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right during the applicable term to access and use the Platform for your internal business purposes within the agreed subscription scope.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise, you may not:
resell the Platform,
sublicense the Platform,
provide the Platform as a service bureau,
grant access to unauthorized third parties,
use the Platform to operate a competing commercial service.
If you later introduce certified-consultant access, you should create a partner-specific variant rather than stretching these client terms too far.
4. Account Registration and Security
To use the Platform, users may need accounts.
You agree to:
provide accurate account information,
keep credentials confidential,
use appropriate password hygiene and MFA where available,
notify us promptly of suspected unauthorized access or security incidents.
You are responsible for activity under your accounts except to the extent caused by our own breach or failure.
5. Customer Data
You retain rights in the data, content, and information you or your Authorized Users submit to the Platform (“Customer Data”), subject to the rights granted to us under these App Terms, the Commercial Agreement, and applicable privacy documentation.
You grant us the rights necessary to host, process, store, transmit, analyze, display, and otherwise use Customer Data to:
provide the Platform and agreed services,
maintain security and support,
generate reports and project outputs,
comply with law,
and improve the Platform and methodology as permitted by the Commercial Agreement.
6. Anonymized and Aggregated Data
We may use Platform-related data, assessment data, interview-related outputs, usage patterns, and other relevant data in anonymized and aggregated form to:
operate and improve the Platform,
improve methodologies, scoring systems, and benchmark/index logic,
create product, benchmark, and service insights,
improve quality, reliability, and security.
We will not intentionally identify your organization or identifiable individuals in external benchmark or research outputs without appropriate permission or lawful basis.
Because pseudonymized data generally remains personal data, the real technical and legal implementation must match the wording here and in the privacy/contract set. (edpb.europa.eu)
7. Customer Responsibilities
You are responsible for:
ensuring your use of the Platform is lawful;
obtaining any required internal approvals, notices, or permissions;
ensuring Customer Data is lawful to upload or process;
maintaining appropriate account and access controls;
ensuring your Authorized Users comply with these App Terms.
If you use the Platform to collect or process personal data relating to employees, interviewees, or participants, you remain responsible for ensuring that an appropriate legal basis and required privacy information exist where applicable.
8. Prohibited Uses
You must not, and must not allow others to:
reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive source code, underlying models, scoring logic, benchmark methods, or non-public workflows from the Platform, except where mandatory law clearly prohibits such restriction;
use the Platform to build, train, improve, or support a competing service, framework, benchmark, or software offering;
scrape data from the Platform outside supported export functionality;
upload malware, malicious code, or unlawful content;
probe, scan, or test vulnerabilities without authorization;
use the Platform in a way that violates confidentiality, privacy, employment, anti-discrimination, or other applicable law;
use the Platform as the sole basis for fully automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects on individuals unless such use is expressly supported by the Platform and lawfully implemented by you.
GDPR transparency rules specifically require disclosure where automated decision-making with meaningful effects is involved. (European Commission)
9. Confidentiality
Each party shall keep confidential the other party’s non-public confidential information disclosed in connection with the Platform.
You must treat as confidential all non-public information relating to:
the Platform,
non-public software logic,
benchmark methods,
scoring systems,
security materials,
roadmaps,
pricing,
and documentation.
If a separate NDA, confidentiality agreement, or MSA confidentiality clause applies, it continues to apply.
10. Intellectual Property
We and our licensors retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the Platform, including:
software,
code,
interfaces,
documentation,
benchmark logic,
scoring systems,
analytical models,
workflows,
trade secrets,
trademarks,
and related intellectual property.
Except for the limited access rights expressly granted, no rights are granted to you by implication or otherwise.
Feedback you provide about the Platform may be used by us without restriction or compensation, provided we do not publicly identify you as the source without your permission.
11. AI-Assisted Features
If the Platform includes AI-assisted features, analytics, summaries, recommendations, or consultant-support outputs:
those outputs are intended to support professional judgment, not replace it;
outputs may contain errors, omissions, or inaccurate inferences;
you are responsible for reviewing outputs before relying on them;
you must not rely on AI outputs as the sole basis for legally significant decisions about individuals without appropriate human review and lawful process.
This clause is commercially prudent and also aligns with GDPR sensitivity around significant automated processing. (European Commission)
12. Availability, Support, and Changes
Unless otherwise stated in a Commercial Agreement:
we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability;
we may perform maintenance, updates, and changes;
support is provided in accordance with the applicable support terms, if any.
We may improve, modify, or discontinue parts of the Platform from time to time.
13. Beta Features
If we provide beta, preview, pilot, or experimental features:
they may be incomplete,
they may change or be withdrawn at any time,
they may be subject to additional restrictions,
and they may be used at your own risk.
14. Suspension
We may suspend or restrict access to the Platform if reasonably necessary to:
protect security or integrity,
prevent misuse,
respond to legal or regulatory requirements,
address a serious breach of these App Terms,
avoid harm to us, our customers, users, or third parties.
Where reasonably possible, we will provide notice before suspension. Immediate suspension may occur where urgency requires it.
15. Fees
Fees, payment terms, subscription scope, and service levels are governed by the applicable Commercial Agreement or Order Form.
Failure to pay undisputed fees may result in suspension or termination following reasonable notice.
16. Term and Termination
These App Terms apply from the date you first accept or use the Platform and continue until your access is terminated.
Upon termination or expiry:
your access rights end,
we may disable accounts,
and Customer Data will be handled in accordance with the Commercial Agreement, DPA, Privacy Notice, and applicable law.
17. Data Export and Transition
Where required by the Commercial Agreement or applicable law, and subject to reasonable technical and commercial limits, we will make Customer Data available for export or retrieval in a reasonable format within the applicable post-termination period.
This clause should stay aligned with your MSA and later platform spin-out planning.
18. Warranties Disclaimer
To the fullest extent permitted by law, except as expressly stated in a Commercial Agreement:
the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”;
we disclaim implied warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement;
we do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or suitable for every use case.
Nothing in these App Terms excludes rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
19. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, except as expressly stated in a Commercial Agreement:
neither party shall be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages;
our aggregate liability arising out of or related to the Platform shall not exceed the fees paid or payable by you for the relevant [12-month] period preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
For enterprise clients, this should usually be refined in the MSA, especially for confidentiality, IP, and data-protection issues.
20. Data Protection and Privacy
Our processing of personal data in connection with the Platform is described in the applicable Privacy Notice and, where relevant, the DPA.
If you act as a controller for personal data submitted to the Platform, you are responsible for ensuring your use is lawful and for providing any required privacy information.
GDPR transparency requires that individuals be informed clearly about who is processing their data, why, recipients, transfers, retention, and rights. (European Commission)
21. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These App Terms are governed by the laws of Romania.
The competent courts of [Cluj-Napoca, Romania] shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except that we may seek interim, injunctive, or protective relief in any competent jurisdiction.
