Fair Usage Guidelines
We ask that you use our website resources reasonably. Excessive automated requests, attempts to overwhelm our servers, or other activities that might impair service for others are not permitted. If we notice usage patterns that seem problematic, we'll reach out to discuss before taking any action.
Account and Access
Account Creation
Currently, our website doesn't require account creation for basic browsing. If we introduce account features in the future, you'll be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or security breach.
Service Access
Access to our professional services is subject to mutual agreement. We reserve the right to decline service requests if we determine we're not the right fit for a particular project or if we have capacity constraints. This ensures we can deliver quality work to all clients we accept.
Account Suspension
We may suspend or terminate access to our services if you violate these terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or if we're required to do so by law. Where possible, we'll provide notice and an opportunity to resolve issues before taking such action.
Service Availability and Modifications
Uptime and Maintenance
We strive to keep our website accessible and functional. However, there may be times when the site is unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or technical issues beyond our control. We'll try to schedule maintenance during off-peak hours when possible and provide advance notice for planned downtime.
Service Features
The specific services we offer may evolve over time based on client needs, market conditions, and our capabilities. We reserve the right to modify, add, or discontinue service offerings. Current service descriptions on our website reflect our present offerings but aren't guarantees of future availability.
Website Updates
We may update, modify, or change our website's features, content, or functionality at any time. While we aim to improve user experience with these changes, we're not liable for any inconvenience that modifications might cause. Significant changes to services you've already engaged will be communicated in advance.
Geographic Availability
While our website is accessible globally, we primarily provide services to organizations that can effectively collaborate with us given time zones and communication requirements. We may decline projects where we believe geographic or logistical factors would impair service quality.
Intellectual Property
Content Ownership
All content on this website, including text, graphics, logos, images, and software, is the property of Tidal Metrics or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may view and use website content for personal, non-commercial purposes only.
User-Generated Content
If you submit information through contact forms or other communications, you grant us permission to use that information to respond to your inquiry and provide requested services. You retain ownership of any proprietary information you share, though you give us a license to use it for the purpose of delivering our services.
Service Deliverables
Ownership and usage rights for work products created as part of service engagements are defined in individual service agreements. Generally, clients receive ownership of deliverables they've commissioned, while we retain the right to use anonymized insights and methodologies for future work.
Trademark Notice
"Tidal Metrics" and associated branding elements are trademarks of our organization. You may not use these marks without our explicit written permission. Any unauthorized use may constitute trademark infringement.
Payment and Fees
Service fees and payment terms are outlined in individual service agreements. General principles include:
- • Prices quoted are in Euros unless otherwise specified
- • Payment schedules are agreed upon before work begins
- • Invoices are typically due within 30 days unless otherwise agreed
- • Late payments may incur interest charges as permitted by law
- • All fees exclude applicable taxes unless stated otherwise
Disclaimers and Limitations
Our website and services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While we strive for excellence in everything we do, we make no warranties, expressed or implied, regarding:
- • The accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of website content
- • Uninterrupted or error-free operation of the website
- • Specific outcomes or results from our services
- • The suitability of our services for particular purposes
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tidal Metrics shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our website or services. This includes, but isn't limited to, lost profits, lost data, or business interruption.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Tidal Metrics, its employees, and contractors from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of our services, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any rights of others. This doesn't apply to issues caused by our negligence or misconduct.
Governing Law and Disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands. Any disputes arising from these terms or our services will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Before pursuing formal legal action, we encourage you to contact us to discuss any concerns. Many issues can be resolved through direct communication, and we're committed to finding fair solutions when problems arise.
Severability
If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court, that provision will be modified to reflect the parties' intention to the extent possible, or severed if modification isn't possible. The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Changes to Terms
We may modify these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or service offerings. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page and may notify active clients directly. Continued use of our website or services after changes indicates acceptance of the modified terms.
For ongoing service engagements, material changes to terms will be communicated in advance, and we'll work with clients to ensure a smooth transition. Service agreements already in place will generally be honored under their original terms unless both parties agree to modifications.
Contact Information
If you have questions about these Terms of Service or need clarification on any point, please contact us using the information at the top of this page or through our contact page. We're here to help and prefer open communication to formal disputes.
