Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between You ("User", "You", "Your") and SentinelGIP ("we", "us", "our", the "Service", the "Platform") regarding access to and use of the website at sentinelgip.com, its sub-domains, APIs, mobile interfaces and any related software (collectively, the "Service"). By creating an account, logging in, or using any feature of the Service, You confirm that You have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If You do not agree, You must immediately stop using the Service.

1. Eligibility

You may use the Service only if You are at least eighteen (18) years of age, have full legal capacity to enter into a contract under the laws of Your jurisdiction, and are not located in, established in, or a resident of any country, territory or sub-region subject to comprehensive sanctions administered by the European Union, the United Nations, the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the United Kingdom HM Treasury, or any other competent authority. You further represent that You are not listed on any consolidated sanctions, denied parties or terrorism watch list. We reserve the right to refuse, suspend or terminate access at our sole discretion to comply with applicable export control, sanctions and anti-money-laundering laws.

2. Nature of the Service — Aggregator of Third-Party OSINT Data

The Service is an information-retrieval and visualisation tool that surfaces, indexes and cross-references data sourced from independent third-party providers and publicly available datasets. We act as a technical intermediary. We do not own, generate, certify, audit or warrant the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, legality or fitness for any particular purpose of any data displayed through the Service.

Categories of third-party data include, without limitation:

• Maritime tracking (AIS): vessel positions, voyages, MMSI/IMO metadata sourced from public AIS receivers, terrestrial stations and satellite AIS providers.
• Aerial tracking (ADS-B/Mode-S): flight tracks, callsigns and registrations sourced from crowdsourced and commercial ADS-B feeds.
• Sanctions screening: consolidated lists published by OFAC (U.S. Treasury), EU Council, UK HMT, UN Security Council and other competent authorities.
• Breach & exposure data: credential and email exposure indicators obtained from public breach databases and breach-notification partners (e.g. Have I Been Pwned / HIBP).
• Satellite imagery: Copernicus / Sentinel Hub / CDSE and equivalent open imagery programmes, subject to their respective licences.
• Public records: corporate registries, government gazettes, court records, regulatory filings and press releases.
• AI-generated content: summaries, briefs, translations and analyses produced by large-language-model providers integrated via our universal LLM gateway.

Each third-party data source is governed by its own terms of use, attribution requirements and licence. You are solely responsible for ensuring that Your downstream use of any data is compatible with those upstream terms. The display of data through the Service does not constitute a representation that we hold any licence on Your behalf to republish, resell or commercially exploit that data.

3. No Professional Advice — Informational Use Only

4. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree to use the Service in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations (including the EU General Data Protection Regulation, the California Consumer Privacy Act, export-control and sanctions regimes, and the laws of Your country of residence) and in good faith. Without limitation, You agree that You will NOT, and You will not permit any third party acting on Your behalf to:

• Use the Service to stalk, harass, dox, threaten, defame, blackmail, intimidate or otherwise harm any individual, including by aggregating publicly available data to identify, locate or surveil a natural person without lawful basis.
• Use the Service to facilitate, plan, prepare or carry out any act of violence, terrorism, kidnapping, piracy, military targeting, smuggling, trafficking, or any other criminal offence.
• Use breach / credential exposure data to attempt unauthorised access to any account, system or network, to commit credential stuffing, account takeover, identity theft, phishing or any similar offence.
• Use vessel-tracking or aerial-tracking data for unlawful interdiction, ship spoofing, anti-competitive intelligence, or to circumvent international sanctions.
• Treat sanctions screening results as a final compliance determination; You must run formal screening through licensed compliance vendors and consult counsel.
• Scrape, mirror, cache, redistribute, sublicense, resell, or build a competing product from data obtained through the Service without our prior written consent.
• Use any automated agent, bot, scraper, crawler, headless browser or API access pattern that exceeds the rate limits, quotas or technical restrictions imposed by the Service.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code, models, prompts or training data of any component of the Service.
• Probe, scan, penetration-test or attempt to interfere with the integrity, availability or security of the Service or any underlying infrastructure without our prior written authorisation.
• Upload, transmit or process special-category personal data (health, biometric, sexual-orientation, religious, political, trade-union, genetic) or data of minors unless You have a valid lawful basis and have notified us in writing.
• Violate the intellectual-property, privacy, publicity or contractual rights of any third party.
• Misrepresent Your identity, affiliation, jurisdiction or the purpose of Your queries when creating an account or interacting with the Service or our support team.
• Use the Service in any jurisdiction or in any manner where such use is restricted or prohibited by local law.

Violation of this Acceptable Use Policy is a material breach of the Terms and may result in immediate suspension or permanent termination of Your account without refund, retention of evidence, and notification of competent law-enforcement and data-protection authorities.

5. Module-Specific Disclaimers

6. Account Registration & Security

Accounts are created through Google OAuth or e-mail registration. You agree to provide accurate and current information, to keep Your credentials confidential, to enable available multi-factor authentication, and to notify us promptly at contact@sentinelgip.comof any suspected compromise. You are fully responsible for any activity carried out under Your account, including unauthorised use, until You notify us. We may, at any time and without liability, suspend or terminate accounts that appear inactive, fraudulent, duplicated, or in breach of these Terms.

7. Credits, Plans & Payment

Access to certain features is metered through a credit system. Monthly plan credits reset on the first day of each billing cycle and are non-refundable and non-transferable. Top-up credits do not expire and are forfeited only upon account termination for cause. Subscription fees are billed in advance, are exclusive of applicable taxes (which You agree to bear), and are processed by our payment partners (e.g. Stripe). A goodwill refund may be granted within seven (7) calendar days following the initial purchase of a paid plan, provided that fewer than 25 % of the corresponding monthly credits have been consumed. No refund will be granted thereafter, nor for top-up purchases, nor in case of termination for breach.

Subject to mandatory consumer-protection rules in Your country of residence, the courts of Paris, Franceshall have exclusive jurisdiction. If You are a consumer resident in the European Union, You may also bring proceedings before the competent court of Your domicile.

16. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any plan-specific addendum, constitute the entire agreement between You and us regarding the Service.
