Terms of use

AdvocacyLab is run by Data Activists C.I.C., a community interest company registered in England and Wales (company number 17082883). Its registered office is Suite Ra01, 195-197 Wood Street, London E17 3NU. Using AdvocacyLab means you agree to these terms. Questions go to advocacylab@dataactivists.org.

Results can be wrong

AdvocacyLab helps you check research. It doesn't replace reading the source. A result can be wrong in either direction, and a model's opinion can be wrong too. You remain responsible for what you publish, and nothing here is legal advice.

What you upload

Your reports stay yours. You give us permission to process them to provide the service, including sending text to the companies named on our privacy page. You must have the right to upload what you upload, including any personal data about other people.

Your account

Keep your password to yourself; you are responsible for what is done with your account. Please don't get around the limits of a plan, for example with several free accounts, attack the service, or use it to send automated requests to other people's sites beyond checking your own reports. We may suspend an account that does.

Plans and payment

A plan's limits and price are on the pricing page. Each person gets their own free allowance, based on their email address. A personal paid plan is for one person, so please don't share an account. A team plan buys a pool of coordinating seats; researchers are free collaborators. No limit on reports means as much as the people on the plan need. If a workspace goes far beyond that, we may pause its checks while we talk to you about a plan that fits, and we won't charge anything extra without your agreement. A paid plan renews each month until you cancel it: from your profile for a personal plan, or from the team page for a team plan. It runs to the end of the month you've paid for. If you buy as a consumer in the UK or the EU, you can also cancel within 14 days of first paying by writing to us, and we'll refund you, less a fair share for the days you've already used. Deleting your account ends your personal paid plan at once. If you own a team, its paid subscription is cancelled and the team passes to another coordinator, or is deleted if you were its only member, with no refund for that month. If colleagues remain but no other coordinator does, the deletion is refused until one is added. If we change a price, we'll tell you first by email.

Availability and liability

We provide the service as it is and try to keep it running, but we can't promise that it always will. We may change or stop a tool, and we'll tell you in good time if that affects a paid plan. As far as the law allows, we aren't liable for decisions made on the basis of a result, or for indirect losses. Nothing here limits liability that the law doesn't let us limit.

Ending

You can delete your account at any time from your profile. If we change these terms in a way that matters, we'll tell you by email before the change applies.

Which law applies

The law of England and Wales governs these terms, and its courts can hear any dispute. If you use AdvocacyLab as a consumer and live elsewhere in the UK or in the EU, you keep the protections of the law where you live that can't be contracted out of, and you can bring a claim in the courts there.
