DATABASES & DIGITAL PRODUCTS
8. DATABASE LICENCE
When you purchase or receive access to a Database, you are purchasing a licence to use the Database.You do not acquire ownership of the Database or of any intellectual-property or database rights in it.Unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase, we grant the purchasing business a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Database internally for legitimate professional purposes.Permitted purposes may include:identifying potentially relevant retailers;identifying potential wholesale contacts;identifying journalists, editors, stylists or media professionals;conducting legitimate PR outreach;conducting legitimate wholesale or business-development outreach; andsupporting the purchasing business's internal sales, PR and communications activities.Unless a product expressly includes a multi-client or agency licence, the Database may be used only for the purchasing business itself.An agency, consultancy, freelancer or service provider may not purchase one Database and use it independently on behalf of multiple third-party clients unless we have expressly agreed to an agency or multi-client licence.
9. AUTHORISED USERS
Database access is limited to the purchasing organisation and any number of authorised users specified in the relevant Order or product description.Login credentials must not be shared outside the authorised organisation.You are responsible for the conduct of anyone accessing a Database through your account.You must notify us promptly if you become aware of unauthorised access or disclosure.
10. DATABASE USE RESTRICTIONS
You must not, without our prior written permission:sell or resell a Database;sublicense a Database;distribute a Database to third parties;publish a Database online;upload a Database to a publicly accessible platform;provide Database access to an unauthorised person;reproduce a Database for the purpose of creating a competing database or directory;commercially exploit the Database other than for your own permitted internal business activities;systematically copy Database content into a competing product;use automated means to extract our Database content for republication;use the Database to train, fine-tune or populate an artificial-intelligence model or a third-party commercial data product;remove copyright, proprietary or attribution notices;use the Database for harassment, unlawful surveillance, discriminatory purposes or unlawful marketing; oruse the Database in any way that infringes applicable law or the rights of another person.You may make reasonable internal working copies where necessary for permitted use by your authorised team.These restrictions are not limited to two years.They continue for as long as necessary to protect our intellectual property, database rights, confidential information and other applicable rights.
11. DATABASE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The selection, verification, organisation, structure, compilation and presentation of our Databases involve substantial investment and constitute valuable proprietary assets of Fashion Antidote.All intellectual-property rights in our Databases, including copyright and database rights where applicable, belong to us or our licensors.Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of those rights to you.Unauthorised extraction, reproduction, redistribution or reutilisation of a substantial part of a Database may constitute infringement of our rights.
12. PROFESSIONAL CONTACT DATA
Databases may contain professional information relating to identifiable individuals.A purchase of a Database does not mean that:a Professional Contact has consented to receive communications from you;a Professional Contact has requested information from you;contacting every Professional Contact will be lawful in every circumstance;every Professional Contact is a corporate subscriber for electronic-marketing purposes; orFashion Antidote is authorising a particular marketing communication on behalf of the Professional Contact.When you receive personal data through a Database, you will ordinarily act as an independent data controller in relation to your subsequent use of that information.You are independently responsible for determining whether and how you may lawfully use the information.
13. YOUR DATA-PROTECTION RESPONSIBILITIES
When using Professional Contact information, you must comply with all data-protection, privacy, electronic-marketing and direct-marketing laws applicable to you and to the person you contact.Where applicable, this includes compliance with:the UK GDPR;the Data Protection Act 2018;the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations;applicable amendments and successor legislation; andequivalent laws in any other territory in which you conduct outreach.In particular, you are responsible for:establishing an appropriate lawful basis for processing personal data;determining whether consent is required before sending a communication;distinguishing appropriately between corporate subscribers and individuals, sole traders or other protected recipients where relevant;providing privacy information where legally required;identifying yourself accurately in communications;providing legally required opt-out mechanisms;respecting objections and unsubscribe requests;maintaining appropriate suppression records;ensuring that communications are relevant and lawful; andkeeping personal information appropriately secure.You must not represent to a Professional Contact that Fashion Antidote has authorised your communication or that the Professional Contact has consented to receive it unless that is independently true.
14. REMOVAL AND CORRECTION OF CONTACT DATA
Professional roles, employers and contact details change frequently.We take reasonable steps to maintain our Databases, but we do not warrant that every entry will be complete, current or error-free at all times.If you become aware that information obtained from us is materially inaccurate, you should cease relying upon the inaccurate information.Where a Professional Contact validly requests removal, restriction or correction of their information, we may amend or remove that information from our Databases without prior notice.Such amendment or removal does not constitute a defect in the Database and does not ordinarily give rise to a right to a refund.Where appropriate, we may retain limited suppression information to prevent an individual who has objected from being inadvertently re-added.
15. DATABASE UPDATES
Where a Database states a “last updated”, “last verified” or similar date, this indicates the relevant review or update period and does not constitute a warranty that every individual record was independently verified on that exact date.Unless expressly included in the product purchased, a one-off Database purchase does not entitle you to future versions or updates.Where updates form part of a Subscription, entitlement to those updates ends when the Subscription ends.
16. NO DATABASE RESULTS WARRANTY
We do not warrant that:any particular Professional Contact will respond to you;any contact will be interested in your business;a buyer will place an order;a journalist will provide coverage;a contact will remain in the same role;a particular email address will remain active indefinitely; oruse of a Database will generate any particular commercial result.Professional Contact information is a research and business-development resource, not a guarantee of access, response or commercial success.
SUBSCRIPTIONS & ACCOUNTS
17. SUBSCRIPTIONS
Where a product or Service is offered on a recurring subscription basis, the applicable price, billing frequency and minimum term will be displayed or agreed before purchase.If a Subscription is described as automatically renewing, it will renew at the applicable interval until cancelled in accordance with the relevant plan.Where a Subscription has a minimum contractual term, cancellation does not remove your obligation to pay fees due for that minimum term.Unless otherwise stated, cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period.We do not provide pro-rata refunds for unused portions of a billing period except where required by law or expressly agreed by us.We may change Subscription pricing with reasonable advance notice, with any increase ordinarily taking effect on the next renewal rather than retrospectively.
18. ACCOUNT SECURITY
You must:provide accurate registration information; maintain the security of your login credentials;prevent unauthorised account access; andnotify us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access.We may suspend access where we reasonably suspect account sharing, security misuse, unauthorised Database distribution or other breach of these Terms.
FEES & PAYMENT
19. FEES
Fees will be:displayed on the Website;stated in an Order;stated in an invoice;stated in a proposal; orotherwise agreed with you in writing.Unless stated otherwise, prices exclude VAT and other applicable taxes, which will be added where legally required.You are responsible for any bank charges, currency-conversion costs, duties or taxes applicable to your purchase unless expressly agreed otherwise.
20. PAYMENT TERMS
Database and digital-product purchases are payable in full at the time of purchase unless otherwise agreed.Professional Services are payable in accordance with the payment schedule set out in the relevant proposal, Order or invoice.Where no payment period has been expressly specified, invoices are payable within 14 days of issue.You must pay invoices in full without deduction, withholding, set-off or counterclaim except where required by law.We may suspend Services, withhold deliverables or restrict account access where an undisputed invoice remains overdue.
21. LATE PAYMENT
Where sums due under a business-to-business transaction are not paid when due, we reserve all rights available to us under applicable late-payment legislation.This may include the right to claim:statutory interest; fixed compensation for late payment; and reasonable debt-recovery costs where permitted by law. Our exercise of these rights does not prevent us from suspending or terminating Services for non-payment.
22. REFUNDS
Our Databases, digital products and professional Services are supplied to business customers. Unless expressly agreed otherwise or required by law:Database purchases are non-refundable once access or delivery has been provided;digital products are non-refundable once supplied;completed professional work is non-refundable;Subscription fees already paid are non-refundable; and failure to achieve a desired commercial result does not create a right to a refund.A change in a Professional Contact's employment, email address, position or availability does not in itself make a Database defective.If a technical fault caused by us materially prevents you from accessing a digital product you purchased, we will first have a reasonable opportunity to restore access or provide a replacement.Nothing in this clause excludes any right which cannot lawfully be excluded.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & WEBSITE
23. OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Unless otherwise stated, all intellectual-property rights in:the Website;Databases;written content;reports;research;methodologies;templates;graphics;branding;photographs owned by us;training materials;resources; andother proprietary materialsbelong to Fashion Antidote, LVFD Limited or our licensors.No intellectual-property rights are transferred except for the limited rights expressly granted under these Terms or a separate written agreement.

Ownership and usage rights relating to bespoke creative deliverables will be governed by the relevant proposal or statement of work.Unless expressly agreed otherwise, pre-existing methodologies, templates, frameworks, know-how, processes, Database information and underlying proprietary materials remain our property.Payment for a bespoke deliverable does not transfer ownership of our pre-existing intellectual property incorporated into that deliverable.

41. WAIVER
A delay or failure to exercise a contractual right does not constitute a waiver of that right.A waiver relating to one breach does not constitute a waiver of any later breach.
42. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of these Terms is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be treated as modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.If that is not possible, it will be deleted without affecting the validity of the remaining provisions.
