Terms of use

Terms for using SERCH research and tools.

By using SERCH, you agree to use the site as an informational resource and to assess original sources before making decisions.

01

Nature of the service

SERCH provides educational editorial research based on public material. It is not a broker, exchange, payment provider, investment adviser, account-opening service or regulator. Nothing on the site is a recommendation to transact with a reviewed organisation.

02

No completeness guarantee

Open records can be delayed, incomplete, incorrect or changed after publication. A SERCH label describes evidence available at the review date and does not guarantee past or future conduct.

03

Acceptable use

Do not probe the service for vulnerabilities, bypass rate limits, submit unlawful content, impersonate another person, automate excessive queries or use a SERCH publication to make an unsupported accusation.

04

Intellectual property and quotations

SERCH presentation and original analysis are protected by applicable rights. Short quotations may be used with clear attribution and a link. Third-party names and marks remain the property of their owners and are used for identification and reporting.

05

External sources

Links lead to independent third parties. SERCH does not control their availability, security or later edits. Visitors should verify the destination before sharing information.

06

Liability and governing law

To the extent permitted by law, SERCH is not responsible for decisions made solely from a summary without reviewing the cited evidence. The final operator must insert its applicable governing law and dispute venue before deployment.
