Agreement and scope
These terms form an agreement between the person or organization using the website or service and The Company Screener Incorporated. By using the website or service, you agree to these terms.
A signed order form, subscription agreement, data-processing agreement, or other written agreement may apply to a client. If that agreement conflicts with these terms, the signed agreement controls to the extent of the conflict.
If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the website or service.
Accounts, workspaces, and authority
You must provide accurate account information, protect account credentials, and promptly notify us of suspected unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity carried out through your account except to the extent caused by our failure to meet an applicable obligation.
If you use the service for an organization, you confirm that you have authority to act for that organization. Workspace administrators are responsible for assigning appropriate access and managing membership within their organization.
Acceptable use
You must not:
- use the service unlawfully or to infringe another person’s rights;
- attempt to bypass access controls, probe vulnerabilities without authorization, or interfere with service operation;
- upload malicious code or information you do not have the right to provide;
- scrape, copy, resell, or redistribute the service or substantial portions of its content except as permitted in writing;
- misrepresent a screening result, source, or Company Screener’s involvement in a decision; or
- use the service to make unlawful or discriminatory decisions.
Client content and instructions
Clients retain their rights in portfolio data, watchlists, policies, notes, evidence, suggestions, and other information they provide. A client gives us permission to host, process, reproduce, and transmit that content as reasonably needed to provide, secure, and support the service.
A client is responsible for ensuring that it has the authority and any required notices or consents to provide its content. We may remove or restrict content where reasonably necessary to address legal, security, or rights concerns.
Screening information and decisions
Company screening is based on defined rules and information available at a stated time. Sources may be incomplete, delayed, conflicting, or later corrected. “No involvement identified” describes the result of a completed review and is not a guarantee that no relevant activity exists.
Company Screener provides information and workflow support. It does not provide legal, investment, accounting, fiduciary, or other professional advice. Clients remain responsible for their policies, regulatory interpretations, due diligence, approvals, and decisions.
Public resources are general information. They may not reflect every amendment, jurisdiction, fact pattern, or client requirement.
Evidence, corrections, and re-evaluations
Authorized users may submit evidence, request a correction, challenge an assessment, or request a re-evaluation. A request does not automatically change the current result. It enters an appropriate review process and may be accepted, rejected, or returned for more information.
Where a decision changes, prior records may be retained to preserve the review history, meet legal obligations, and support auditability.
Availability, changes, and warranties
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of the website or service. Planned, beta, conditional, or configuration-dependent capabilities are not guaranteed to become generally available.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the public website and its content are provided on an “as available” basis. We do not warrant that every source, assessment, notification, or service function will be complete, current, uninterrupted, or error-free.
Liability, service levels, indemnities, and any fee-based remedies for a client subscription should be set out in the applicable signed agreement. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to any binding dispute process in a signed agreement, the parties submit to the courts of Ontario.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms. Material revisions will be identified by changing the date at the top of this page. Continued use after revised terms become effective constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.
