CommodityWatch terms of service

CommodityWatch / Terms of Service

The rules for using CommodityWatch.

These terms set out what you can expect from CommodityWatch and what we expect from you. They are specific to this service, not a generic legal template.

Agreement

Accepting these terms.

By accessing or using CommodityWatch, you agree to be bound by these terms of service and our privacy policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service. These terms apply to all visitors, registered users and anyone else who accesses the service.

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use after changes means you accept the revised terms.

The service

What CommodityWatch provides.

CommodityWatch is a commodity market monitoring platform. It aggregates publicly available commodity data, headlines, release calendars and derived indicators for professional and research use. The service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

Some parts of the service require an account. Other pages, including the homepage, about, methodology, coverage, privacy policy and these terms, are publicly accessible.

Accounts

Registration and security.

To access gated features, you must create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You must provide accurate and complete information when creating an account. You may not create accounts by automated means, impersonate others, or use another user's account without permission.

Acceptable use

What you may and may not do.

You agree not to use the service to:

  • Scrape, harvest or systematically extract data outside the intended functionality of the service.
  • Circumvent authentication, rate limits or access controls.
  • Distribute malware, spam or harmful content.
  • Interfere with the stability, security or availability of the service.
  • Use the data to create a competing product without our written permission.
  • Violate any applicable law or regulation.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access for violations of these rules.

Data and intellectual property

Who owns what.

CommodityWatch's branding, software, design and compiled presentation of data are owned by us or licensed to us. The underlying source data remains subject to the terms of the original publishers, which are documented on our coverage page.

You may use the service for your own internal research, analysis and monitoring. You may not resell, redistribute or systematically republish CommodityWatch content or data without permission.

Disclaimer

Not investment advice.

CommodityWatch is an information tool, not a financial adviser, broker or investment platform. Nothing on the site constitutes investment advice, trading recommendations or a solicitation to buy or sell any commodity, security or derivative.

Data is sourced from public and institutional sources and may be delayed, revised or subject to errors. Always verify critical figures against the original source before making decisions.

Liability

Limitation of liability.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CommodityWatch and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your use of the service.

Our total liability for any claim arising from the service will not exceed the amount you paid us for the service in the twelve months preceding the claim, or one hundred US dollars if you did not pay anything.

Termination

Suspension and account closure.

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, for violations of these terms, security concerns or operational reasons. You may also delete your account at any time through the account settings.

Governing law

Jurisdiction.

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from these terms or the service will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
