Terms of Service

Effective Date: 2025-03-18

1. Introduction and Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Sourcebase! These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you (“you” or “your”) and SOURCEBASE LLC (“Sourcebase,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) that govern your access to and use of our platform, website, and related services, including any future APIs or mobile applications (collectively, the “Service”).

By accessing or using the Service, creating an account, or indicating your acceptance of these Terms (such as by clicking “I agree” or similar), you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to them, you may not access or use the Service.

If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms. In such cases, “you” will refer to that organization.

Please read these Terms carefully. They contain important information about your rights and obligations, including limitations of liability, disclaimers of warranties, and a dispute resolution clause.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we’ll notify you by posting the updated Terms to our website, email, or through other reasonable means. Your continued use of the Service after such changes become effective will constitute your acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Eligibility and Account Registration

2.1 Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By accessing or using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement with Sourcebase. The Service is intended for business use, but individual users may register for accounts.

2.2 Account Registration

To access certain features of the Service, you must create an account. When registering, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information requested during the signup process. This may include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, company affiliation, and job title;
  • Keep your account information up to date;
  • Maintain the security and confidentiality of your login credentials; and
  • Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account.

You may create an account using email and password or by signing in via third-party services (such as Google, Microsoft, or LinkedIn). If you use social login, we may receive additional information from those providers as permitted by their terms and your settings.

You may not register for, access, or use the Service for the purpose of developing, marketing, or offering any product or service that competes with Sourcebase. If you are acting on behalf of a competitor or potential competitor of Sourcebase, you may only access or use the Service with our prior written consent. We reserve the right to deny or terminate access to the Service in our sole discretion in such cases.

2.3 Tenant-Based Access

If you are part of a shared organization account (a “tenant”), you acknowledge that other authorized users within the same organization may be able to view and interact with certain content you upload or create within that shared environment. You agree to use the Service in accordance with your organization’s policies and only with appropriate authorization.

3. Subscriptions, Billing & Refunds

3.1 Subscription Plans

Access to certain features of the Service may require a paid subscription. We may offer a variety of plans, including free and paid tiers, which may vary in functionality, usage limits, or support level. Your access to the Service is subject to the terms of the plan you select.

3.2 Billing and Payment

If you choose a paid subscription, you agree to pay all applicable fees in accordance with the pricing and billing terms presented to you at the time of purchase. Subscription fees may be billed on a monthly or annual basis, and payment is due in advance of each billing cycle.

You authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge your chosen payment method for recurring fees until you cancel. You are responsible for keeping your payment information current. If we are unable to collect payment or your payment method is declined, we may suspend or terminate your access to the Service until all outstanding amounts are paid in full.

3.3 Auto-Renewal

Unless otherwise stated, your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle at the then-current rate. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings, but cancellations will only take effect at the end of the current billing period.

3.4 Refunds

All fees are non-refundable, including for partial months or unused features, except where required by law. However, we may, in our sole discretion, offer refunds or credits in specific situations.

3.5 Changes to Pricing or Plans

We may modify our pricing or plans at any time. If a change affects your existing subscription, we will provide you with advance notice. Continued use of the Service after a pricing change takes effect constitutes your agreement to the updated fees.

4. Use of the Service

4.1 License to Use

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to access and use the Service for your internal business purposes or personal use, depending on your account type. You may not sublicense, rent, sell, or otherwise transfer access to the Service without our prior written consent.

4.2 Service Availability

We aim to provide a reliable and performant experience, but we do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free. Access may occasionally be limited or suspended for maintenance, updates, or unexpected outages. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of significant planned downtime.

4.3 Beta Features

We may offer access to experimental or beta features from time to time. These features are offered “as is” with no warranties or guarantees. Beta features may be modified or discontinued at any time, without prior notice, and with no liability to Sourcebase.

4.4 Third-Party Services

Certain features may enable integrations with third-party services (e.g., social logins or enrichment tools). We are not responsible for any third-party services or how they handle your data. Your use of such services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

4.5 Legal Compliance

You agree to use the Service only in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including those relating to data privacy, intellectual property, and export controls.

5. User Content & Conduct

5.1 User Content

You may have the opportunity to upload, submit, or create content through the Service, including profile information, uploaded images, saved collections, or other materials (“User Content”).

You retain ownership of any content you upload, submit, or create through the Service (“User Content”). By submitting User Content, you grant Sourcebase a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, host, store, process, display, reproduce, and distribute that content as necessary to operate, maintain, and improve the Service.

This license will continue for as long as your User Content is stored or accessible within the Service, including within shared organization (tenant) environments, or as necessary to comply with legal obligations, enforce our Terms, or resolve disputes.

Upon deletion of your content or closure of your account, we will remove your User Content from active systems within a reasonable time, subject to retention in backups, audit logs, or as otherwise required by law. We will not use retained content for any other purpose.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary rights to submit any User Content, and that your content does not infringe, misappropriate, or violate the rights of any third party

.Any data or content independently collected, enriched, or generated by Sourcebase (including aggregated, de-identified, or derivative data) is and shall remain the sole property of Sourcebase.

5.2 Interactions Within Tenants

If you are part of an organization account (or “tenant”), certain User Content you create—such as collections or project tags—may be visible to other authorized users within your organization. You acknowledge and agree that such content may be shared within your tenant by design, and that administrators may have visibility into usage activity.

5.3 Conduct Requirements

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Upload or transmit any content that is unlawful, offensive, or infringes on the rights of others;
  • Misrepresent your identity or affiliation;
  • Interfere with the proper functioning of the Service, or attempt to access systems or data without authorization;
  • Violate the security of any account, network, or system, including through unauthorized access, data scraping, or reverse engineering;
  • Circumvent usage restrictions or abuse access to data available on the platform.

We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to monitor, moderate, or remove User Content at our sole discretion if we believe it violates these Terms or poses a risk to Sourcebase, our users, or third parties.

We do not guarantee that we will review all User Content, and we disclaim any responsibility or liability arising from any content provided by users or any actions we take (or fail to take) in connection with such content. We are not liable for any damages resulting from our decision to remove or not remove content, including content you may find offensive, inaccurate, or infringing.

5.4 Permitted Use

The Service is intended primarily for business-to-business (B2B) use. It is not intended for personal, family, or household purposes, or for any activities governed by consumer protection laws, including but not limited to employment screening, credit eligibility, housing decisions, or similar uses.

However, individuals such as academic researchers, developers, or students may access the Service for non-commercial exploration, provided such use complies with these Terms and does not involve the resale, redistribution, or unauthorized use of data. Use beyond these permitted purposes requires Sourcebase’s prior written consent.

13. Dispute Resolution

13.1 Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any related dispute will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any legal action or proceeding relating to your access to or use of the Service must be brought in a state or federal court located in New York, and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.

13.2 Informal Resolution

Before initiating formal legal action, you agree to contact us at privacy@Sourcebase.app and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. Most disputes can be resolved quickly and amicably in this way.

13.3 Binding Arbitration

If we are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days of your initial notice, you and Sourcebase agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding claims that qualify for small claims court) through final and binding arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), and will take place in New York State or remotely at your election.

Each party will be responsible for its own legal fees and costs, but the costs of arbitration (including arbitrator fees and filing fees) will be split equally between the parties, unless the arbitrator determines that such allocation would be unjust or inconsistent with applicable law.

The arbitrator will have the authority to award relief as permitted by law, but may not award punitive damages or certify a class. You agree that all claims must be brought on an individual basis and not as part of a class or representative action.

13.4 Exceptions

Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court or seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Service or infringement of intellectual property rights.

14. Modifications

We may update or modify these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice by updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, by email or in-app notification.

Your continued use of the Service after any changes to the Terms become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service.

We may also modify or discontinue parts of the Service at any time, with or without notice, including features, content, or access to certain plans. We are not liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.
