Updated: January 7, 2026

 

Welcome to the Verdantix website. We encourage you to access and benefit from the content, tools and features that we make available to you. If you purchase any subscription products, individual reports, consulting projects or other services from Verdantix ("Services"), the terms of use for those Services will be set forth in a separate purchase agreement between you and Verdantix. These Terms of Use will not in any way change or limit your rights and obligations under your Verdantix purchase agreement.

These Terms of Use apply to all Verdantix-owned websites, software applications, digital applications, search tools, artificial intelligence (AI) models, AI agents and online databases (each a “Site” and collectively “the Sites”). By continuing to use these Sites, you (the “User”) agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. The applicable Terms vary based on the type of access that you have requested, which may or may not be covered by a commercial contract between your employer and Verdantix.

Use Of The Sites

Verdantix reserves the right to change, delete or add to the Content at its sole discretion and without notice to any Users. Your continued use of the Sites after any such changes constitutes your agreement to these Terms of Use.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Sites, including the written text, charts, tables, graphics, images, infographics, icons, photographs, logos, branding, marks, audio recordings, video recordings, scripts, code and any other works (singly or collectively, the “Content”) solely for your personal or internal business purposes.

You may view, download and print Content for these purposes only, provided that: (1) you do not modify the Content in any way; (2) you retain all copyright, trademark and other proprietary notices contained in the Content; (3) you do not use the Content for any commercial exploitation, resale or distribution without prior written consent from Verdantix; (4) you do not use the Content as input for any AI systems, machine learning models or automated data processing tools.

Any use of the Sites or Content beyond these permitted purposes is strictly prohibited and may result in termination of your access, and legal action.

You agree to use the Sites and Content in accordance with all applicable laws, including but not limited to the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (CDPA) and the Copyright and Rights in Databases Regulations 1997, and/or such laws as apply in a User’s jurisdiction. You agree not to take any action that would compromise the security of the Sites or render the Sites inaccessible to others, including but not limited to gaining unauthorized access to Restricted Areas, interfering with the proper functioning of the Sites, circumventing a Site’s security measures, performing data harvesting and extracting source code.

The Content on these Sites is produced through the reasonable efforts of Verdantix to compile and analyse information from sources believed to be reliable at the time of publication. Any opinions expressed within the Content reflect the judgment of Verdantix at the time of creation and are subject to change without notice. Verdantix does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of the Content and accepts no liability for reliance placed upon it. You acknowledge that information provided to you from our AI tools, models and agents may contain errors and unvetted third-party content.

Restricted Areas

Certain areas of the Sites are restricted and require a valid username and password for access (“Restricted Areas”). These credentials are provided solely for your personal or organizational use and must remain confidential. Unless you have been issued with a password by Verdantix or Verdantix has authorized your employer to issue you with a password, you are not authorized to access any password-restricted areas.

If you are a User with a password, you must keep your username, password and other login credentials confidential and secure. You must not share, disclose or transfer your login credentials to any other person or entity. You are responsible for all activities conducted through your password-controlled account. If you suspect unauthorized use, you must notify us immediately. Accounts are for individual use only. Access to the Sites by multiple Users through a single username and password is prohibited. We reserve the right to suspend access to the Sites and terminate accounts where password sharing or unauthorized access is detected. If your account has been suspended by Verdantix, we will contact you to share information on the suspicious activity. Unauthorized access or sharing of credentials may constitute an offence under the Computer Misuse Act 1990.
