Terms of Service

1. What the Service is

DC Atlas is a research and intelligence product for the data center industry. It provides structured records about facilities, operators, owners, markets, development pipelines, industry events and public procurement, together with tools to search, compare, chart, export and interrogate them, including AI-assisted answers.

In these terms, “Data” means the records, figures, derived values, aggregates, classifications and citations we make available through the Service. “Content” means everything else we publish, including articles, guides, charts, page copy and reports.

2. Accounts

• You must be at least 16 and able to enter into a contract.
• Give accurate registration details and keep them current.
• An account is personal to one named individual. Do not share credentials or let anyone else use your account. Seats are per person, and we may audit concurrent use.
• You are responsible for everything done through your account. Tell us promptly at contact@dcatlas.io if you think it has been compromised.

3. Plans, fees and trials

The Service is offered on a free plan and on paid plans. The features and limits of the plan that applies to you are those described in your order form or otherwise agreed with us directly. We may change plans, features and limits, and we will give reasonable notice of a change that materially reduces what a paid plan you are already on provides.

Where you buy a paid plan, fees are stated at the point of purchase, are payable in advance for the billing period you choose, and are exclusive of any tax that applies. Subscriptions renew automatically for successive periods unless cancelled before the renewal date. Cancelling stops the next renewal; it does not refund the current period. Except where the law gives you a refund right, fees already paid are non-refundable.

Trial and evaluation access is provided at our discretion and may be changed or withdrawn at any time.

4. Your licence to use the Data

While your account is in good standing, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Data and Content for your own internal business purposes, within the limits of your plan.

That licence includes quoting a reasonable, insubstantial extract in your own internal analysis, presentations and reports, provided you attribute it to DC Atlas and do not present it as your own dataset. It does not include any right to redistribute the Data, in whole or in substantial part, to anyone outside your organisation.

5. What you must not do

You must not, and must not permit anyone else to:

• Scrape, crawl, harvest or bulk-extract the Data by any automated means, or by manual means at a scale that approximates one.
• Access the Service other than through the interfaces we provide, or use any credential, token or endpoint other than as intended.
• Circumvent, disable or interfere with any rate limit, access control, authentication, encoding or other technical measure protecting the Service or the Data.
• Build, train, populate or improve a competing dataset, database or product with the Data, including using it as training or fine-tuning input for a machine-learning model.
• Resell, sublicense, publish, syndicate or otherwise make the Data available to third parties, or use it to provide a service to third parties.
• Remove, obscure or alter any attribution, citation, notice or marking we attach to the Data.
• Reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to derive the source code or underlying structure of the Service, except to the extent the law expressly permits it.
• Misrepresent the Data, including presenting an estimate as a verified or audited figure, or attributing to DC Atlas a claim we have not made.
• Use the Service unlawfully, to infringe anyone's rights, to send unsolicited messages, or to introduce malicious code.
• Probe, scan or test the vulnerability of our systems without our prior written permission, or access any account, data or system you are not authorised to access.

The Data carries traceable markers, and Data served to the application is delivered under a proprietary notice stating these restrictions. Extraction is detectable, and copies can be identified.

6. Our rights in the Data

The Service, the Data and the Content are owned by DC Atlas and its licensors and are protected by copyright, database rights and other intellectual property laws. Individual facts about the world are not ours to own, but our compilation of them, the schema and definitions we impose, the values we derive, the classifications we assign and the citations we assemble represent substantial investment and are protected as such. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of anything to you.

Company names, facility names, trademarks and logos appearing in the Data belong to their respective owners and are used descriptively to identify the subject of a record. Their appearance implies no affiliation or endorsement.

7. Your content and feedback

You keep ownership of what you put into the Service, such as saved views, notes, alert rules and uploads. You grant us the licence we need to host, process and display it in order to run the Service for you.

If you suggest an improvement or report a problem, we may use that feedback freely and without obligation to you. If you send us a correction to a record, we may incorporate it into the Data.

8. Data accuracy

The Data consists of estimates compiled from public sources. Our Data Disclaimer explains what that means in full, and it forms part of these terms. In summary: figures are not audited or warranted, they may be incomplete, out of date or wrong, forward-looking pipeline information is inherently uncertain, and you are responsible for verifying independently anything you rely on.

Nothing in the Service is investment, financial, legal, tax, engineering or site-selection advice, and no advisory or fiduciary relationship arises from your use of it.

9. Availability and changes

We aim to keep the Service available and improving, but we do not promise uninterrupted access. We may change, suspend or withdraw features, and we may perform maintenance. Features marked as beta, preview or coming soon are provided as they stand and may change or disappear.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all warranties, conditions and representations of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, title and non-infringement.

If you are a consumer, you keep any rights the law gives you that cannot be excluded, and nothing here affects them.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, DC Atlas is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary loss, or for any loss of profit, revenue, business, opportunity, goodwill, anticipated saving or data, however caused and whether or not we were advised such loss was possible.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these terms and the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) US$100. Where you use the Service on a free plan, our liability is limited to US$100.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

12. Indemnity

You will indemnify us against any claim, loss, liability and reasonable cost arising from your breach of these terms, your misuse of the Data, or your infringement of a third party's rights through your use of the Service.

13. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access immediately if you breach these terms, if your use threatens the security, integrity or availability of the Service or the Data, or if we are required to by law. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will warn you first and give you a chance to put it right.

On termination your licence ends and you must stop using the Data and delete any copies you hold outside the permitted extracts. Sections 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 16 survive termination.

14. Third-party services and links

The Service links to third-party sources and documents, and relies on third-party providers, including model providers used by Atlas AI. We are not responsible for third-party content, sites or services, and a link is not an endorsement.

15. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information, and our Cookie Policy explains what we store on your device. Both form part of these terms.

16. Governing law and disputes

These terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. You and we submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Wyoming, United States. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country you live in and may bring proceedings there.

Before starting proceedings, please contact us at contact@dcatlas.io so we can try to resolve the matter directly.

17. General

• Changes. We may update these terms. We will post the new version with a new date, and for material changes we will tell you by email or in the app before they take effect. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the change.
• Assignment. You may not assign these terms without our consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of the business.
• Entire agreement. These terms, with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and Data Disclaimer, are the whole agreement between us about the Service.
• Severability. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
• No waiver. Not enforcing a right does not waive it.
• Force majeure. Neither party is liable for a failure caused by something outside its reasonable control.
• Notices. We will contact you at the email on your account. Write to us at contact@dcatlas.io, or by post to Atlas Development Global LLC, 7345 W Sand Lake Rd, Ste 210 (Office 7891), Orlando, FL 32819, United States.
