6. Research concerning third parties
Our service involves researching companies, organizations, and in
some cases individuals. Personal data about third parties — the
subjects of a research request — may be processed as part of an
assignment.
6.1 Sources
Research is conducted using publicly available sources and
documents. This may include corporate registries, official filings,
court-related material, regulatory publications, sanctions and
politically exposed person lists maintained by official bodies,
archived web pages, company statements, and reputable open-source
reporting.
We do not obtain information through covert means, unauthorized
access, private databases of unlawfully obtained data, or
acquisition of private data.
6.2 Role and basis
When we process personal data about a research subject, we generally
act as controller for that processing. Our legal basis is typically
our legitimate interest in providing lawful research services, and
the legitimate interest of our client in obtaining information to
support a business decision, balanced against the rights and
interests of the data subject.
Where a client provides us with documents or information for the
assignment, the client remains responsible for ensuring it has a
lawful basis to share that material with us.
6.3 Safeguards
We apply editorial and evidentiary safeguards to reduce the risk of
harm to data subjects, including separating documented facts from
analytical assessments, indications, and unresolved questions;
linking material findings to available sources; labelling unverified
information as unverified; not presenting allegations as
established facts; and not guaranteeing a particular conclusion.
6.4 Rights of research subjects
Individuals who are the subject of research may contact us at
[email protected]
to exercise their rights under section 11. Where a request relates
to information contained in a deliverable prepared for a client, we
will consider our obligations alongside the client’s legitimate
interests, applicable confidentiality duties, and any applicable
exemptions.
7. Who we share data with
We share personal data only where necessary. Recipients may include:
- Hosting and infrastructure providers that host this website and its underlying infrastructure.
- Form and email service providers that receive and deliver form submissions and email correspondence.
- Payment providers used to process your chosen payment method, such as Krak, PayPal, or Patreon.
- Accounting, tax, and legal advisers who support invoicing, tax compliance, and legal matters.
- Authorities — courts, regulators, tax authorities, and law enforcement, where legally required.
- Professional advisers in a dispute engaged in connection with an actual or potential dispute.
We do not sell personal data. We do not share personal data with
third parties for their own marketing purposes.
8. International transfers
Our company is registered in the Republic of the Marshall Islands,
which is outside the European Economic Area. When you submit
personal data through this website, that data may be transferred to
and processed in the Marshall Islands, or in another country where
our service providers operate, including the United States.
Where personal data of individuals in the EEA is transferred outside
the EEA, we take steps to ensure an adequate level of protection,
including reliance on an adequacy decision of the European
Commission, the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses,
or another lawful transfer mechanism under the GDPR, together with
additional safeguards where required.
Where the GDPR’s representative requirement under Article 27
applies, we will appoint a representative in the European Union and
publish their contact details in this section.
9. How long we keep data
- Requests that do not lead to an engagement. Retained for up to 12 months after our last communication.
- Proposals and engagements. Retained for the duration of the engagement and afterwards for the applicable statutory retention periods.
- Invoices and accounting records. Retained for the applicable statutory retention period in the jurisdiction where we are required to keep records.
- Server logs. Retained for a short period, typically no more than 30 days.
- Research material and deliverables. Retained for the duration of the engagement and afterwards for the applicable limitation period for potential claims.
10. How we protect data
We apply technical and organizational measures appropriate to the
risk, including transport encryption, access controls, reputable
service providers, secure transfer methods for sensitive documents,
spam and abuse protection on the request form, and periodic review
of our processing activities.
If a personal data breach occurs that is likely to result in a risk
to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory
authority and, where required, affected individuals, in accordance
with Articles 33 and 34 GDPR.
11. Your rights
Where the GDPR applies, you have the following rights:
- Right of access
- You may request confirmation of whether we process personal data about you and, where we do, obtain a copy and information about the processing.
- Right to rectification
- You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Right to erasure
- You may request deletion of personal data in certain circumstances.
- Right to restriction of processing
- You may request that we restrict processing in certain circumstances.
- Right to data portability
- Where processing is based on consent or a contract and is carried out by automated means, you may request your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
- Right to object
- You may object to processing based on legitimate interests. You have an absolute right to object to processing for direct marketing.
- Right to withdraw consent
- Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time.
- Right to lodge a complaint
- You may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your EU member state of habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.
To exercise any of these rights, contact
[email protected].
We will respond without undue delay and in principle within one month.
12. Cookies and analytics
This website is designed to minimise tracking. We may use
technically necessary cookies or local storage required for the
website to function. We do not use analytics services that create
personal profiles.
13. Automated decisions and profiling
We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making that
produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly
affects you, within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR.

15 September 2026 ·
Version: 1.0
These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of this
website and any research service we provide, including the 48h
Board Risk Brief and related deliverables.

The Services are operated by:
- Legal entity
-

Ace One Stop Building, 2nd Floor, 3rd Room
Uliga, Majuro
Marshall Islands
P.O. Box 3897 - Owner
- Bernd Pulch
- Contact
- [email protected]
By submitting a research request, approving a proposal, or making
payment, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to
these Terms.
2. Definitions
- “Deliverable”
- The written research product we provide under an engagement, such as a PDF Board Risk Brief.
- “Engagement”
- A specific research assignment agreed between us and you, formed when you approve a written proposal and the agreed payment is received.
- “Proposal”
- A written document we send describing the proposed scope, fee, delivery time, assumptions, and limitations.
- “Research Request”
- The information you submit through our online form or by email describing what you would like reviewed.
- “Scope”
- The research questions, subject, geographic coverage, and deliverable format specified in a Proposal.
3. The service
We provide source-based research. Depending on the agreed Scope, the
Services may include: identity and entity resolution; ownership,
control, and director structures where publicly traceable; related
companies and subsidiaries; publicly documented litigation and
regulatory matters; sanctions and politically exposed person
screening against relevant official sources; public reputational
indicators and significant controversies; relevant timelines,
relationships, and source documents; and outstanding verification
questions.
4. What we do not do
legal advice, not an audit, not a guarantee of completeness, and not
a substitute for professional advice tailored to your situation.
Unless expressly agreed in writing, we do not provide:
- legal advice or legal opinions;
- investment, financial, tax, or regulatory advice;
- audit, assurance, or certification services;
- covert activity, unauthorized access, or acquisition of private data;
- physical surveillance or in-person investigation;
- guaranteed discovery of all information available worldwide; or
- publication of allegations as established facts.
5. Requests and proposals
To request research, you submit a Research Request through our
online form or by email. You are responsible for the accuracy and
completeness of the information you provide.
We review each Research Request to determine whether it falls within
our service scope, whether we have any conflict of interest, and
whether the request raises legal, ethical, or risk concerns we
cannot reasonably manage. We may decline a request for any lawful
reason.
Where we consider the request suitable, we send a written Proposal
describing the subject and research questions; the geographic and
source Scope; the Deliverable format and the evidence standard
applied; the delivery date and time zone; the fixed fee and
applicable taxes; the accepted payment methods; and the key
assumptions and exclusions.
A Proposal is valid until the date stated in it, typically 14 days
from the date of issue, unless we agree otherwise in writing.
6. Scope approval and contract formation
An Engagement is formed when both of the following are met:
- you approve the Proposal in writing; and
- the agreed payment, or the agreed deposit, has been received and verified by us.
Until both conditions are met, no Engagement exists and we are not
obliged to begin work.
7. Fees, taxes, and payment
Fees are set out in the Proposal. Company Intelligence starts at €490 / US$550 net; Advanced Due Diligence starts at €1,490 / US$1,650 net; Institutional Intelligence starts at €2,500+ / US$2,750+ net. Scope and billing currency are agreed in writing.
Fees are stated net of any applicable taxes. Depending on your
location and status, VAT, sales tax, or equivalent taxes may apply.
Unless the Proposal states otherwise, payment terms are:
- 100% in advance; or
- 50% deposit before work begins, with the remaining 50% payable before delivery.
For one-off Board Risk Briefs, the preferred payment method is
Krak, where you can access Krak and a valid
checkout or payment request is available. PayPal is
the fallback. Monero can be arranged in advance.
Patreon is intended primarily for recurring
membership or support.
8. Delivery
The delivery period stated in the Proposal begins only after:
- the Scope has been approved in writing; and
- the agreed payment, or the agreed deposit, has been received and verified by us.
Where the Proposal states a 48-hour delivery period, this means 48
hours from the point at which both conditions above are satisfied,
excluding weekends and public holidays unless we have expressly
agreed otherwise.
9. Client obligations
You agree to:
- provide accurate, complete, and timely information necessary for the Engagement;
- respond to reasonable clarification questions within the timeframes requested;
- ensure you have the right to share any documents or information you provide to us;
- not ask us to carry out unlawful, unethical, or unauthorized activity;
- use the Deliverable only as permitted by these Terms;
- comply with all laws applicable to your use of the Deliverable and your decisions; and
- treat the Deliverable as a research product requiring your own professional judgment.
10. Acceptable use and prohibited requests

- request research that involves covert or unauthorized access to private data;

- obtain legal, investment, tax, or regulatory advice under the guise of research;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, or interfere with their proper functioning;
- submit malicious code, spam, or content that infringes third-party rights; or
- misrepresent your identity or your authority to act on behalf of another person or organization.
11. Evidence and editorial standard
Our research distinguishes between:
- Documented facts
- Information verified against primary or reliable secondary sources.
- Analytical assessments
- Our reasoned interpretation of the available evidence.
- Indications
- Patterns or signals that warrant further inquiry.
- Unresolved questions
- Matters that cannot be conclusively determined from available sources.
12. No guarantee and no reliance
product. We do not guarantee a particular conclusion, a particular
finding, or that all relevant facts worldwide have been identified.
You acknowledge that:
- public records and other sources may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate;
- information about individuals and entities can change rapidly;
- screening results, including sanctions and PEP checks, are time-sensitive and must be refreshed before any decision;
- the Deliverable reflects the sources available at the time of research; and
- you use the Deliverable at your own professional judgment and risk.
13. Intellectual property and licence
Upon full payment for the Engagement, we grant you a non-exclusive,
non-transferable, worldwide licence to use the Deliverable for your
internal business purposes, subject to these Terms.
Unless we agree otherwise in writing, you may not:
- publish, circulate, or distribute the Deliverable externally;
- use the Deliverable as publishable copy or as a substitute for editorial verification;
- alter or misrepresent the Deliverable, or remove attributions, disclaimers, or source references;
- resell, sublicense, or share the Deliverable with third parties, except as reasonably required to obtain professional advice about it; or
- present the Deliverable as legal, financial, or regulatory advice.
14. Confidentiality
Each party will keep confidential the non-public information of the
other party that it receives in connection with a Research Request
or an Engagement, and will use it only for the purposes of the
engagement or as required by law.
Information about a research subject that is contained in the public
record, or that is lawfully obtained from public sources, is not
treated as your confidential information solely because it appears
in a Deliverable.
15. Data protection
Our handling of personal data is described in our
Privacy Policy, which forms part of these
Terms.
16. Limitation of liability
limits our liability. It applies only to the extent permitted by
applicable law. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability
that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
16.1 No indirect loss
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for
indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages,
or for loss of profit, revenue, business, opportunity, goodwill, or
anticipated savings.
16.2 Cap on liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate
liability arising out of or in connection with an Engagement is
limited to the total fees actually paid by you to us under the
relevant Engagement, or 10,000 EUR, whichever is greater, unless a
different cap is expressly agreed in the applicable Proposal.
16.3 Time limit for claims
To the maximum extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or
in connection with an Engagement must be brought within 12 months
of the date on which you became aware, or should reasonably have
become aware, of the facts giving rise to the claim.
17. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold us
harmless against claims, losses, and reasonable costs arising from
your breach of these Terms; your unlawful or unauthorized use of a
Deliverable; your misuse of information contained in a Deliverable;
or your failure to obtain appropriate professional advice before
acting on a Deliverable.
18. Cancellation and termination
If you cancel after paying but before we have substantially begun
the work, we will refund the amount received, less any
non-recoverable third-party costs and any reasonable administration
fee stated in the Proposal.
If you cancel after work has begun, we will retain amounts
reflecting the work performed up to the point of cancellation, plus
any non-recoverable third-party costs.
We may terminate or suspend an Engagement, with written notice, if:
- you materially breach these Terms or the accepted Proposal;
- continuing would require us to act unlawfully, unethically, or in a way that conflicts with a legal or regulatory obligation;
- a conflict of interest arises that cannot be managed appropriately; or
- we reasonably believe continued performance would expose us to a legal or reputational risk we cannot accept.
19. Refunds
Refunds are limited to the following:
- Non-delivery. If we fail to deliver the agreed Deliverable within the agreed timeframe for reasons within our control and cannot remedy this within a reasonable period, you may request a refund of amounts paid for the undelivered portion.
- Material deviation from Scope. If the Deliverable materially fails to meet the agreed Scope, you must notify us within 14 days of delivery. We will review the matter in good faith and, where appropriate, remedy, re-perform, or partially refund.
- Cancellation. Refunds on cancellation are handled in accordance with section 18.
Refunds are not available because the research did not produce a
particular conclusion, because a hypothesis was not confirmed, or
because you disagree with an analytical assessment that is
reasonably supported by the cited sources.
20. Conflicts of interest
We conduct a conflict check before accepting an Engagement. We may
decline or terminate an Engagement where a conflict of interest
exists or arises that we cannot manage appropriately.
21. Force majeure
We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by
events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters,
war, civil unrest, epidemics or pandemics, government action, power
outages, internet or infrastructure failures, cyberattacks, or
failures of third-party service providers.
22. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The version published
on this page, with the last-updated date shown at the top, is the
current version. Changes do not affect the terms of an Engagement
already formed.
23. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in
connection with them are governed by the laws of the Republic of
the Marshall Islands, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
The courts of the Republic of the Marshall Islands have exclusive
jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with
these Terms, subject to any mandatory consumer protection
provisions that apply.
Where applicable law gives you the right to bring proceedings in
your country of habitual residence, that right is not affected.
24. General provisions
24.1 Entire agreement
The accepted Proposal, any additional written agreement, and these
Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties in
relation to an Engagement.
24.2 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and
effect.
24.3 No waiver
A failure or delay in exercising a right under these Terms does not
operate as a waiver of that right or of any other right.
24.4 Assignment
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under
these Terms without our prior written consent.
24.5 Notices
Notices to us should be sent to
[email protected].

Methodology & Evidence Standard

have been confirmed.

6. Research concerning third parties
Our service involves researching companies, organizations, and in
some cases individuals. Personal data about third parties — the
subjects of a research request — may be processed as part of an
assignment.
6.1 Sources
Research is conducted using publicly available sources and
documents. This may include corporate registries, official filings,
court-related material, regulatory publications, sanctions and
politically exposed person lists maintained by official bodies,
archived web pages, company statements, and reputable open-source
reporting.
We do not obtain information through covert means, unauthorized
access, private databases of unlawfully obtained data, or
acquisition of private data.
6.2 Role and basis
When we process personal data about a research subject, we generally
act as controller for that processing. Our legal basis is typically
our legitimate interest in providing lawful research services, and
the legitimate interest of our client in obtaining information to
support a business decision, balanced against the rights and
interests of the data subject.
Where a client provides us with documents or information for the
assignment, the client remains responsible for ensuring it has a
lawful basis to share that material with us.
6.3 Safeguards
We apply editorial and evidentiary safeguards to reduce the risk of
harm to data subjects, including separating documented facts from
analytical assessments, indications, and unresolved questions;
linking material findings to available sources; labelling unverified
information as unverified; not presenting allegations as
established facts; and not guaranteeing a particular conclusion.
6.4 Rights of research subjects
Individuals who are the subject of research may contact us at
[email protected]
to exercise their rights under section 11. Where a request relates
to information contained in a deliverable prepared for a client, we
will consider our obligations alongside the client’s legitimate
interests, applicable confidentiality duties, and any applicable
exemptions.

personal data through this website, that data may be transferred to
and processed in the Marshall Islands, or in another country where

Where personal data of individuals in the EEA is transferred outside
the EEA, we take steps to ensure an adequate level of protection,
including reliance on an adequacy decision of the European
Commission, the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses,
or another lawful transfer mechanism under the GDPR, together with
additional safeguards where required.
Where the GDPR’s representative requirement under Article 27
applies, we will appoint a representative in the European Union and
publish their contact details in this section.

risk, including transport encryption, access controls, reputable
service providers, secure transfer methods for sensitive documents,
spam and abuse protection on the request form, and periodic review
of our processing activities.
If a personal data breach occurs that is likely to result in a risk
to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory
authority and, where required, affected individuals, in accordance
with Articles 33 and 34 GDPR.
