Data Accuracy, Warranties, and Disclaimers

Data Accuracy

While we employ sophisticated detection algorithms and regularly update our technology signatures, we make no representations or warranties regarding:

  • The completeness, accuracy, or timeliness of technology detection results — detection is based on publicly observable signals and may not reflect the complete technology stack
  • The deliverability, accuracy, or currency of contact information — business contacts change frequently and data may become stale
  • The timeliness or delivery of real-time alerts and notifications — alerts depend on crawl frequency and system availability
  • The availability of historical data for any specific domain, technology, or time period
  • The accuracy of derived metrics such as market share percentages, company size estimates, or industry classifications

Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We do not warrant that defects will be corrected or that the Service will meet your specific requirements.

Service Availability

We aim to maintain high Service availability but do not guarantee 100% uptime.

  • Basis of the Bargain: The limitations and exclusions in this section reflect a reasonable allocation of risk between the parties and are a fundamental element of the basis of the bargain between us. The Service would not be provided without these limitations.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.
