Terms of Service
Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Use describe the rules that apply to your use of Credoragrid. Using the site means you accept these rules. If you do not agree with any part of them, you should stop using the site. We reserve the right to modify these Terms, and the version published on this page is always the current version in force.
Use of the Service
You agree to use Credoragrid only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of, restrict, or inhibit anyone else's use of the site. Prohibited behavior includes scraping content at a rate that disrupts service, attempting to circumvent access controls, uploading malicious code, harassing other users (if interactive features are provided), and using the site for any commercial purpose without our prior written consent.
If a feature requires registration or sign-in, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any credentials you receive and for all activity that occurs under those credentials. You agree to notify us promptly of any unauthorized access. We may suspend or terminate access if we suspect a credential has been compromised or misused.
Intellectual Property
Content published on Credoragrid is protected by intellectual-property laws. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the content for personal, non-commercial use. You may not extract, scrape, copy, or republish content beyond fair-use quotations without our prior written permission.
User Submissions
When you send material to Credoragrid for possible editorial use — a story tip, a correction, a letter to the editor, or a photograph — you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use the material in connection with our reporting, with attribution where appropriate and where you have not asked to remain anonymous. You warrant that the submission is yours to share and that we are free to publish it.
Newsletter and Email Communications
If you sign up for the Credoragrid newsletter, we will use your email address to send the editions you have requested and, where permitted, occasional service messages related to your subscription. We will not pass your address to other organizations, and you can unsubscribe with a single click via the link in any email.
Third-Party Links and Sources
Articles on Credoragrid routinely link out to the original outlets, primary sources, and other reference material that informed the reporting. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of these external sites. Visiting them is at your own discretion, subject to their respective terms.
Disclaimer of Warranties
While Credoragrid takes reasonable care to provide accurate and timely editorial content, the site is supplied on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We make no warranties — express or implied — about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, or availability of the content, and we accept no responsibility for any loss arising from reliance on it. Always consult an appropriately qualified professional before acting on information you read here.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Credoragrid and its operators, contributors, and licensors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, data, business opportunity, or goodwill — arising out of your access to or use of the site, whether based in contract, tort, statute, or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Credoragrid (and our operators, contractors, and partners) harmless against any claims or losses arising out of your breach of these Terms or your violation of applicable law in connection with your use of the site. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you agree to cooperate with us.
Suspension and Termination
Either party may terminate this agreement at any time: by you, simply by discontinuing use of Credoragrid; by us, by suspending or restricting your access for any reason we consider appropriate. The provisions of these Terms that should reasonably survive — intellectual property, disclaimers, liability caps, indemnification, governing law — survive any termination.
Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms — and any dispute, claim, or proceeding arising out of them — are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Credoragrid's operator is established. Each party agrees to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of that jurisdiction, except to the extent that mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence override this arrangement.
Changes to These Terms and How to Reach Us
These Terms may be updated periodically. The version on this page is always the version in force, and the "Last updated" date shows when it took effect. Material changes are announced ahead of time where practical. To ask a question or raise a concern about these Terms, please contact us via the Contact form linked in the footer of Credoragrid.
