Terms of service

These terms govern your access to and use of the German Company Monitor website at german-company-monitor.com (the “Site”) and the German Company Monitor product (the “Service”), each operated by German Company Monitor GmbH (“GCM”, “we”, “us”). By accessing the Site or registering for a trial or paid subscription, you agree to be bound by these terms.

GCM provides a daily AI-curated briefing of investor-relevant news on DACH-listed and -unlisted companies. The Service is intended for professional and institutional users — investors, corporates, and investor-relations teams.

GCM offers a 14-day free trial for new users. No payment instrument is required to start a trial. A paid subscription starts only when you explicitly choose to subscribe at the end of the trial period. Starting prices and pricing mechanics are described on our pricing page and are exclusive of statutory VAT.

You may cancel a trial at any time before it converts. Paid subscriptions are billed monthly or annually and may be cancelled at the end of the current billing period. We do not offer pro-rata refunds for partial periods unless required by law.

The Service is provided for your internal professional use. You may not (a) redistribute, resell, or sublicense the briefings without our prior written consent, (b) attempt to reverse-engineer or scrape the Service, or (c) use the Service in a manner that infringes third-party rights, including copyright in source publications.

Each briefing summarises and links to publicly available articles from third-party publications. The underlying articles remain the property of their respective publishers. GCM provides summaries under quotation and short-citation principles; the original publication remains the canonical source.

GCM is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer to sell, or a solicitation to buy any securities or financial instruments. You are solely responsible for your investment decisions. Content is based on information believed to be accurate at the time of publication; we make no representation as to its accuracy, completeness, or current relevance.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, GCM shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, or data, arising out of your use of the Service. Our aggregate liability for direct damages shall not exceed the fees you paid us in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Exclusive jurisdiction lies with the courts of [City], Germany, insofar as permitted by law.

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified to active subscribers by email at least 30 days before they take effect.
