- Replacer may remove content or ban users.

This licence terminates when you delete your account, except for content that has already been shared, quoted, or redistributed by other users. You may request removal of your community content at any time by contacting us. This licence does not apply to private property data.

- Third-party links used at your own risk.
8. Data & Privacy
- You retain all intellectual property rights in the content you submit to the Platform.
- Replacer may use aggregated, truly anonymised data (from which individual users cannot be re-identified by any reasonably available means) for analytics and benchmarking purposes. Where data is pseudonymised rather than fully anonymised, it remains subject to UK GDPR.
- Upon account deletion, your personal data will be permanently deleted within 30 days, except where retention is required by law (e.g., billing and transaction records retained for 6 years under HMRC requirements and the Limitation Act 1980, or data necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims).

- Privacy processing is governed by our Privacy Policy, which should be read alongside these Terms.
- Replacer acts as Data Controller for personal data collected through the Platform (e.g., account information, usage data). Where you upload personal data about third parties (e.g., customer lists, employee data) for processing through the Platform, Replacer acts as Data Processor on your behalf. In such cases, a Data Processing Agreement applies, available on request. Stripe acts as an independent controller/processor for payment data.

- Replacer shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations where such failure or delay results from events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, acts of government, cyber-attacks, infrastructure or telecommunications failures, pandemics, or interruptions to third-party services on which the Platform depends.
12. Liability

- Users retain rights to their own input data.
- The compilation, organisation, and arrangement of data on the Platform — including but not limited to supplier directories, product data, sustainability methodology, calculation models, and environmental impact assessments — constitutes a database protected under the Copyright and Rights in Databases Regulations 1997 (SI 1997/3032). Unauthorised extraction or re-utilisation of a substantial part of the database contents is prohibited.
15. Data Protection & Prohibited Activities
The following activities are strictly prohibited without prior written consent from Replacer:
- Automated access. You may not use automated means (including but not limited to scrapers, bots, crawlers, spiders, scripts, browser extensions, or AI-powered tools) to access, extract, download, index, or copy any data, content, or materials from the Platform, whether in whole or in part.
- Reverse engineering. You may not decompile, reverse-engineer, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to extract source code, data structures, algorithms, or calculation methodologies from the Platform or its software, except to the extent that such restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law (including the rights afforded under Sections 50A, 50B, and 50BA of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988).
- Data reuse. Data obtained through authorised use of the Platform may not be aggregated, republished, resold, sublicensed, or used to build a competing product or service.

Remedies. Violation of this section may result in immediate account termination, legal action, and claims for damages including but not limited to loss of commercial value of the extracted data. Replacer shall be entitled to seek interim injunctive relief or other equitable remedies from any court of competent jurisdiction, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available at law or in equity.
16. Communications
Service communications (e.g., account notifications, security alerts, billing confirmations, and updates to these Terms) are transactional in nature and do not require separate consent. You will receive these as part of your use of the Platform.
Marketing communications (e.g., product announcements, newsletters, and promotional content) require your separate, affirmative opt-in consent in accordance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR). You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time via the unsubscribe link included in each email.
17. International Users
- Users outside the UK access and use the Platform at their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.
- Data may be processed or stored outside your country of residence. Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, we rely on UK adequacy decisions (under UK GDPR Article 45), the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), or the UK Addendum to EU Standard Contractual Clauses (under UK GDPR Article 46), as applicable.
- Local consumer law may affect your rights under these Terms.
18. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England & Wales, and the courts of England & Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes arising from or in connection with these Terms. If you are a consumer, nothing in this clause affects your right to bring proceedings in your country of residence, nor does it affect any mandatory consumer protection laws that apply to you.
19. Updates to Terms
- Replacer may update these Terms from time to time.
- Material changes will be notified via email to your registered address at least 30 days in advance. If you do not agree with the material changes, you may terminate your account before the changes take effect and receive a prorated refund for any unused subscription period.
- Non-material changes (e.g., clarifications, formatting, corrections) will be posted on the Platform and take effect 7 days after posting.
- Continued use of the Platform after the applicable notice period constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
20. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable. If modification is not possible, the provision shall be deemed severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
21. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable Data Processing Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and Replacer relating to your use of the Platform. They supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, and representations with respect to the Platform. Nothing in this clause excludes liability for fraudulent misrepresentation, and for consumer users, this clause does not affect pre-contract information that forms part of the contract under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
